August 30, 2022 20. sober sex, intimacy & relationships w/ abby bollum
Please give a warm welcome to one of my besties, Abby Bollum. She has SO much wisdom to share with all of you and I am BEYOND excited for you to hear what she has to say. In this episode, Abby shares with us how she's come into the fullness of her sexuality today, what is sex & how to still "have it" when penetration isn't an option, how to explore communicating about sex, embodying your NO more, knowing what your inner feelings are telling you about wanting to be intimate OR NOT, and the struggle & pressures of performing in the bedroom as a woman. We also talked about how to take baby steps to grow out of insecurity and step into the fullness of your sexuality.
Not sure where to start with exploring your sexuality further?
✨HERE IS YOUR SIGN✨
Tune in!!

August 23, 2022 19. fear "false evidence appearing real"
What is FEAR?
Fear is an emotion or feeling that we feel based on a belief that we are in danger. Some fears are obvious or surface level like heights, spiders, or rollercoasters. And some fears are more subtle or harder to detect like fear of failure, rejection, or loneliness.
In this episode, I talk about a SCARY situation that happened to me this weekend while camping with no service… let’s just say I felt LOST, stranded, and in a full out panic - it was damn near impossible to calm me down.
I also share some takeaways the women from our virtual hangout & I discussed this week regarding what our biggest fears are & how we’ve overcame them in the past.
TUNE IN! xoxo V

August 16, 2022 18. my savage truth w/ chelsey larson pt.2
Let's welcome back Chelsey Larson for the second half of this DEEP DIVE convo where we cover all things savage truth, sobriety, trauma, healing, vulnerability, and shame. Chelsea's new book, My Savage Truth, is a collection of both stories and science behind why we do what we do. She states, "There will be times when I tell my savage truth, and other times I quote a savage truth told by someone else. I first heard the term savage truth while listening to authors Cheryl Strayed and Laura McKowen talk about their writing. The savage truth is the truth of what most people are too afraid to talk about yet most of us know deep down to be true. Most of the time, when people write to Cheryl and tell her what an immense impact she had on them, she had simply just stated the savage truth that they knew deep down, but either couldn’t admit or couldn’t find the words for. I wrote this book to tell my savage truth, to be fully seen, and for others to feel seen if they relate to something I write but thought they were the only one.
'I thought I was alone who suffered.
I went on top of the house,
And found every house on fire.'
- Baba Farid
This is my story."
If you haven't yet, go back and listen to part 1 from the week prior!

August 09, 2022 17. my savage truth w/ chelsey larson pt. 1 (the art and science of how i found out i wasn't broken, f*cked up, or needed to be fixed)
Chelsey Larson is one of my very best friends who just so happens to have WROTE A BOOK. In her words, "I sliced myself open and put my insides on display for the world to see. Before I released my book, I feared some people would never speak to me again. I feared that I wouldn’t fit the image people had of me. The feedback I’ve gotten thus far has floored me. To be vulnerable and show your authentic self, the messy, imperfect person you haven’t always shown, and feel accepted and validated and loved through it is the greatest gift I have ever received. You have related to me, you have seen me, and you have connected with me. In the words of Ram Dass, we are all just walking each other home."
She is a transplant nurse, a writer, educated in mental & nervous system health, trauma informed, and SOBSKIS!! (aka sober lol)
This conversation is one for the books, you do not want to miss it.

August 02, 2022 16. slow the f*ck down
I'm tired. I procrastinated recording & editing this episode so I don't have much to say about it lol. Listen to how you too can slow the fuck down & rest in a culture that runs on a 24 hour, never-ending-productivity-based cycle. Idk about you but resting is hard as fuuuuck for me. It makes me feel like a worthless POS.
Welp, that's all I have to say for now... click this link to understand infradian rhythms from someone who actually knows how to explain them lol

July 12, 2022 13. how to stay confident & sure of yourself through transition
Today's episode is about learning how to stay confident and sure of yourself through transition - whether that be through a relationship transition, a transition between jobs, or just uncertainty about life in general. How do we go about that, how do we feel safe, embodied, grounded, and at home while we go through these changes because reality is... the only constant IS change. We're always going through change whether it's on the physical plane or something more intangible that's changing like who we are as a human. It's really important to talk about how do we approach this? How do we stay afloat and not let the waves of change completely drown us? Listen to find out!

July 05, 2022 12. what I learned from a month off socials
I’m back and I’m better!! For real though, an entire month off was beyond refreshing… sometimes taking a step back from socials and realizing how good I feel makes me want to get off completely - do you think there’s a possibility of having a balanced relationship with socials?
I gained so much mental clarity, noticed myself comparing less, being less reactive and more able to respond, and dove deeper into some healing work / self reflection that I wouldn’t have been able to do had I been preoccupied with creating or consuming content.
I’ve missed connecting with you all so much, YOU are the reason why I show up on here and do what I do so thank you for being supportive by listening, giving the pod 5 stars, and reaching out in the DMs. Looking forward to all that’s to come in this next season!

24:13 mental clarity - less social media but more shopping… healthy or not?
30:55 less comparison
37:06 mental rewiring
40:58 forking off toward your desired reality with every thought

May 24, 2022 11. jealousy, envy, inner child work & a social media hiatus
I’m getting off of social media for a month! My plan is to deactivate my accounts so I can’t find a loophole to sneak on them... God knows I will do whatever it takes to get a dopamine hit LOL.
In this episode, I dive into why I'm getting off social media, how I came to this conclusion, what I’m hoping to get out of it, and why this time is different from the other hiatuses I’ve gone on.
A social media break is exactly what I need right now. I’ve been struggling with my sobriety a lot, fantasizing about doing drugs & getting high, and I feel like I’m closer to a relapse than I ever have been. I’m still in this new born phase of sobriety and realizing how vulnerable I still am to the world around me.
I feel so honored that you all have taken the time to listen to me rant solo into this mic for the last 2 and a half months. I wouldn't keep going if it wasn't for you listening, so thank you.
Until szn 2!
Lots of love,
V
