We chat about our not-so-impressive singing abilities and take a lighthearted trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the iconic fashion choices of the early 2000s.
From peplum tops to chunky necklaces, nothing is off-limits as we also ponder whether our paths ever crossed during our retail stints at Diva and Portmans. That's how we kick things off in this hilariously nostalgic episode!

Join us as we laugh our way through the highs and lows of early 2000s fashion trends, like high-waisted skirts and peep-toe wedges, blue eye shadow, orange tans and the ridiculousness of old Facebook photos, that are still there to remind us that it all happened. Remember those daring low-rise jeans and high-rise G-strings? We do, and we're sharing all the embarrassing details! We reflect on how motherhood has transformed our fashion sense and share stories of wardrobe malfunctions and grooming mishaps.

We'll also take you back to the era of flip phones, dial-up internet, and MSN Messenger, marveling at how much personal technology has evolved. From creating MySpace pages to the rise of emojis, nostalgia is the name of the game. And if you're a fan of cowboy romance novels, you won't want to miss our lively discussion on Elsie Silver's "Flawless" and the rugged charm of cowboys. We wrap up with a chat about "Bridgerton," unexpected romances, and our most regrettable early 2000s fashion choices.
This episode is a bit of fun, nostalgia and look back at our lives growing up and going out in the noughties.

Part Two of our chat with the incredible Rosie Rees. TW - Loss/Suicide
We couldn't cap our last episode, so we continued our conversation with Rosie as she bared it all with us, opening up about navigating the complexities of loss and grief, sharing the heartache of having recently lost her mum and the spiritual serendipities that followed. We wade through the emotional torrents together, discussing messages from beyond and uncovering the comforting presence of signs and symbols—from white feathers to wilie wagtails—that hint at a connection beyond the veil.

Amidst the tender moments, we also trek the path of personal growth and trauma processing, understanding that vulnerability is not only courageous but healing. Here, Rosie, Chrystal and Rose discuss the essential practices for managing the somatic echoes of grief—breath, sound, movement, and touch—and how these tools can unlock a deeper sense of self amidst life's trials.

We also dip into the lighter streams of life—sexual wellness, laughter, and the tantalizing joys of food. This conversation really did traverse the spectrum of human experience, probing into our favourite intimate explorations and the surprisingly arousing nature of non-sexual gestures. We close with a heartfelt thank you to our listeners, reinforcing the importance of self-care and community in the dance of life.

We absolutely loved our conversation with the powerhouse, Rosie. Tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt truths, lots of learning, and a few laughs along the way.

Rosie has also offered our listeners 1 month free of her @thegoldenyonimembership

This is a two-part episode with Rosie Rees - because one wasn't simply enough!
Imagine feeling completely at ease with your sexuality, where every whisper of touch is a step towards profound self-assurance. Our candid conversation with entrepreneur Rosie Rees, the visionary behind Yoni Pleasure Palace and more, is an intimate exploration of that journey. Rosie, who traded the corporate ladder for a path in sexual empowerment, shares her transformation and how she's leading others to harness the power of their sexual wellness. We're breaking open the silence that often shrouds adult sex education, especially for women and vagina owners, and replacing it with a dialogue that's as necessary as it is enlightening.

This episode is us having a relaxed conversation discussing our experiences, bodies and learning insights into practices like the yoni egg, a tool for deepening the connection with your body and sensuality. Rosie recounts her own path to self-discovery, revealing how personal consent and boundaries are the cornerstones of true empowerment. We also venture into the world of female pleasure and fluids, demystifying topics from the role of hydration in female ejaculation to the emotional landscape that fosters such intimate experiences. And if you've ever been curious about glass and crystal pleasure toys, Rosie's expert eye for aesthetic and functionality will illuminate how these beautiful tools can lead to sexual healing and exploration.

Lastly, we tackle the heart of sexual relationships: communication. From the pitfalls of unmet orgasmic expectations to the transformative potential of worship sessions, Rosie offers practical strategies for maintaining a spark in long-term partnerships or to simply reconnect with your own body to have better sexual experiences.
Join us for the first part of our candid chat with Rosie, where we laugh, learn and she teaches us, all while celebrating the journey towards a more empowered, confident, and pleasurable sexual self.

In  this episode we speak with the inspiring Ashleigh King, the official choreographer for the Jungle Body. They open up about life, their resilience required to relearn to walk and dance again after paralysis from transverse myelitis and diagnosis of MS, the evolution of their non-binary identity, motherhood, the dynamics of family life and finding true love with wife Rosie. Get ready for a deep dive into Ash's life as they share how love triumphed over adversity and how cutting their hair became a defining moment of self-expression, challenging societal norms and fostering personal liberation.

Have you ever considered the profound impact a haircut can have on your identity? Or how your children might teach you a thing or two about acceptance? We tackle these questions head-on, discussing the nuances of personal pronouns, child curiosity, and the generational differences in understanding gender. Through laughter and earnest reflection, Ash takes us through their journey of self-discovery in their sexuality and gender - identifying as non-binary and the importance of creating a safe space for candid conversations about sexuality, highlighting how these dialogues can educate, liberate and strengthen not only the individual but also the family unit.

We admire Ash's determination, positive attitude, insight, and endurance of love amidst life's transformations. Tune in for an episode that will not only move and uplift you but also remind you of how life-changing and powerful it can be to embrace our true selves.

TW: Please be aware that Solonge's story speaks of the loss of her boys (stillborn)
When faced with some of life's toughest battles, how do we find the courage to push through?
In this episode of Baring it All, our remarkable guest, Solonge, a corporate communications specialist, wife, and mother with a heart as wide as the sky, opens up about her harrowing yet uplifting journey. Throughout her life, she has faced many tough battles from a young age, marked by her brother's drug addiction and the loss of her twins, Leo and Cruz at 22 weeks and 4 days ; it is a profound narrative of facing adversity with unwavering strength and grace.

Throughout this episode, Solonge shares her story and invites us into her world of complex family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, and her battles with body image and mental health. Her story transitions from the shock of discovering her brother's secret life to the anguish of her own personal tragedies. Yet, during her struggles, she finds resilience and the transformative power of mindset and helping others - her voice is a beacon for anyone navigating their darkest hours. It explores the depth of maternal bonds, the importance of personal healing, and the embrace of vulnerability as a source of strength.

As Solonge shares her path to recovery and growth, we are reminded of the importance of self-care, boundary-setting, and the beauty of finding purpose in our pain. Solonge inspires us to look within, confront our triggers, and possibly discover our wings to rise above and soar, just as she has. Join us for this raw, intimate, soul-stirring conversation, an ode to the incredible human spirit.

On this episode we were joined with relationship coach Aston Simmonds.  Aston's raw account of navigating the complexities of her marriage post-childbirth resonates with a heartfelt truth many couples face – the choice between growth together or divorce. This episode peels back the layers of vulnerability, communication, and individual needs that are integral to fostering a resilient partnership.

Our conversation spans the often overlooked work that sustains love in long-term relationships, challenging the fairy-tale narrative society sells us. We share personal anecdotes, from the 'years of boring' that test our resolve to the 'happy dog hack' that keeps the spark alive during the dullest moments. We also examine the intricate dance of masculine and feminine energies, revealing how emotional communication and shared goals play a pivotal role in the modern relationship dynamic, including the way we feel love, connect, and play together.

Parenting, with its pressures and imperfections, also comes under the microscope. We discuss how different parenting styles and emotional needs can coexist within a family, and why expressing vulnerability can lead to stronger connections with our children. Navigating the waters of personal growth and the potential for separation, we conclude that while individual evolution can sometimes lead to parting ways, and that’s okay too, it's a natural and healthy facet of life's journey. We learnt so much in this chat with Aston - this episode isn't just a discussion; it's an invitation to embrace the messiness of love, life, and the connections that define us.
We will be having Aston on again soon so send us any questions you have or want to unpack!
