If you love to create or make art, if you secretly want to, or if you struggle to find the time for it, this is a permission slip and love note of encouragement for you! Creative Mentor Melanie Karlins and I talk about how all humans are creative and why it matters to express what wants to move through us. You’ll hear: The broad range of practices we consider creative, Similarities between creativity and sex, Medicine for perfectionism and writer’s block How lying on the floor or staring out of the window are essential parts of the creative process, Making time to show up for creativity and validating that it matters, especially as a mother, The necessity and discomfort of setting boundaries for your creative practice, Creativity as a radical act in the face of capitalism and patriarchy, & The magic of co-regulation and doing it together. Melanie is a mentor and permission granter for creative women. She creates spaces where you can let your Inner Artist out to play so that you can enjoy the beauty, magic, and delight that comes from reconnecting to your creativity. Wherever you are in relationship to your creativity, Melanie offers support to help you live your most creative life. Whether you are looking to start a daily art practice, write a book, find a way to share your creative services with the world, or just get your hands dirty with ink and tools and clay and paint, she can support you on your creative journey.

What do two Sex, Love and Relationship Coaches think of Bridgerton season 2 on Netflix? Dear Listener, we are vexed! Bee Slêmanîyah and I tangle with what turned us on and off, the way the characters treated each other, what makes for a good relationship, and the allure of emotionally unavailable men. You’ll hear: Why we binged it Whether Anthony is a f*****y Harmful relationship dynamics Society of the 1800s vs. now (we might not be as far as we think) Response to other shows like True Blood and Twilight What is being romanticised and is that the message we want? Attachment styles and push/pull in relationships Erotic blueprints and sexual tension Kink & BDSM Women’s portrayal and options in society Emotional unavailability in potential partners Balance between mystery/eroticism and safety/security in relationship Interpreting your turn on while watching and using it for your benefit Unrealistic portrayals of female sexual pleasure Media as a vehicle for cultural messaging The show’s attempt at racial diversity and inclusion Turn on gas pedals and brakes Through Trauma Informed, Somatic, Attachment Therapy and Coaching, in Sex, Love, & Relationships, Bee thrives on integrating shadow and light, bringing ones multiple truths and selves into their authentic dance— of pleasure, play, harmony, and belonging, while savouring all colours of the palette as the sacred and perfect parts of the humxn experience that they are.

This conversation with Mari de Luna is not your average b*****b tutorial! We talk about having more power and pleasure in your sex life, using blowjobs as an example, but we go much deeper than licking an ice cream cone. Mari shares the three stages of sexual empowerment which are a solid and sexy foundation for all the experiences you desire to have! This conversation centers the experiences of people who have been socialised as girls and women, and who play with penises, but if that’s not you, plenty still applies. Mari de Luna is a trauma-informed Women’s Empowerment coach, who helps women suffering from low libido create the Epic Sex Life they crave for themselves. She blends mindful living, positive psychology and her most recent studies in NeoTantra and Taoism, for a holistic approach to guide women on a journey of self discovery. She works with an integrated holistic system, that addresses very deeply the body and the mind to promote profound transformation with long lasting results.
