How can you simplify (and sexify) your life… with TIME?

How can you do less and actually have more time for yourself, your family, friends?

How to plan your work and playtime so that you flow naturally instead of going against the tide, get overwhelmed and drown?

Yes, today I want to talk about our body’s time, our inner tempo and how to use it so that it’s working FOR YOU.

We are cyclical and that’s true whether you have your periods or not.

But a lot of us have lost touch with our inner compass or don’t know how to use it to navigate our lives.

In this episode I am chatting with my friend Diane Przybilla about cycle awareness goodies, menarche ceremonies, fertility journey and women’s bodies wisdom.

We share about our own journeys from basic (or no) education to full awareness of our cycle and how it changed us and shaped our lives.

If you are curious about:

• How to shifting the perspective on having your periods from burden to gateway to power

• The benefits of tracking your cycle and the gifts of each of your inner seasons (when not to speak to your ex, when to batch your work and make business smart decisions, when to file your taxes…)

• How to stay connected to your cyclical tempo even without your period

 Enjoy!

PS: This is the last episode of the Simplify and Sexify your life in 2020 series, if you’ve missed the other ones you can check them out here:

“I need some space”

That’s usually the moment in the movie when you know this couple is going south…

Well, It could actually a REALLY good sign when you look at it differently (or at least in a non Hollywood version)

We are taught that being deeply connected and intimate in our relationship is a sign of true love and we’ll experience great passion for each other.

And while yes, connection and intimacy is totally a noble #relationshipgoal 

We also tend to misguidedly associate that goal to spending lots of time together, telling each other everything and constant physical intimacy. 

This is most often the recipe in long-term relationships for… vanishing desire.

In our efforts to have this great intimacy we often suppress the space necessary for desire to flourish. 

We forget that fire needs air.

I am a big believer in cultivating our own identity and the sense of mystery in our relationship to avoid the desire slowly dying by repetition and familiarity. 

And where do we cultivate both our sense of self and our erotic relationship at home? 

Yes, in our bedroom

Our bedrooms are also an indicator of the energy, intention and the quality that we want to bring in our relationship.

In today’s episode of the Simplify & Sexify your life in 2020 series, I wanted to touch on the notion of SPACE both in our relationship and as this intimate place at home.

Our bedrooms are very symbolic places where we cultivate that sense of self-preservation, rest, but also where we share physical intimacy and sex.

Simplifying means getting ride of the unnecessary, decluttering and we’ve seen that this is something that can happen on a mental, emotional, physical and energetic level.

So I wanted to bring on a sanctuary expert on this podcast to chat about bedroom sanctuary and how to make the most of creating a space that can enhance our love and sex life. 

Becky Stanton is here on this episode to chat with me on this cool topic, we are uncovering:

·      What happens when you use Feng Shui as a lifestyle 

·      The truth about your clutter 

·      How to create harmonious bedroom sanctuary and set the best condition for great intimacy and sex

Plus some tools for you to use space in your relationship as a desire re-igniter!

If you are ready to make some shifts in your relationship, clear the cutter out in your bedroom (and in between you), AND sexify your bond with a spoon of mystery, you won’t want to miss this one ;-)

Enjoy!

Happy Love Day!

Use it to remind yourself that you are beautiful inside out, that you are enough (and are doing enough), that you deserve pleasure daily and that you are worthy of going after your wildest desires.

I believe in you. 

After exploring how you relate to yourself and build that self-love muscle in the past few weeks…

You are now ready to deal with others, to catch yourself before you start projecting things on to others and especially your partner.

You know when you are about to go to bed and you’ve been holding onto something that’s been bothering you for a while now and out of the blue (or maybe with a little help from a full moon or a slight remark) you start spilling out words and end up having a heated conversation that you’ll regret sooner than later…

We’ve all been there.

One key thing that can help improve or sabotage your partnership (and if you’re single your future relationship) is how you communicate with each other.

I wish we all had non-violent communication training back at school! (along with good sex education, oh and yoga too)

So today I invited Michelle Purta who is a marriage coach for moms to talk about the importance of your relationship dynamic and how to better communicate your feelings.

We are talking about:

• what actually happens when you stop waiting for your partner to change

• the benefits of getting clarity first and not making assumptions

• the art of timing for special conversations

• and so much more…

Plus I am sharing one practice for you to put in place to get fast and concrete results in your relationship starting NOW.

Listen to the episode here (and then send it to your best friend and your mother in law…)

Hope you enjoy this!

All my Love,

Camille

PS: Next week I am exploring SPACE and talking with Becky Stanton about how to deal with clutter and create peaceful bedroom sanctuaries to take your lover in (once the talking is done ;)

PPS: If you have missed the first four episodes of this series go ahead and catch up ;-) You’ll learn how to put these concepts (how you relate to your mind, body, sexual energy and emotions) into concrete practices.

As I am tipping this email I am feeling sooo FRUSTRATED!

I have been stuck at home with my son battling fever (poor thing) for 3 nights and 2 long days and my work is pilling up (don’t even mention the kitchen or laundries piles!)

I am NOT frustrated because he is sick (a part of me is deeply grateful that I get to be here for him when he needs me to)

I am frustrated because I looove my work!

And I am sharing this with you not to bore you with my life but because I think it’s important to say out loud how we feel sometimes as mothers.

We have different emotions pulling us in all directions. And it’s ok!

I want to normalize what is still taboo for a mom: expressing her frustration or even anger because of her kids.

How often do we honestly say that they drives us crazy?

Feeling this is SO normal and healthy. Yet many will deny these emotions and feel ashamed of them.

This is how I use to feel: frustrated AND I would make myself feel even worse for it.

Sounds familiar?

Here’s the thing with navigating our emotions:

When you stop denying them, repressing them, and you actually give them permission to come through, you will come out of it richer.

That’s right you start to use your emotions: guilt, shame, sadness, anger, joy, bliss… and see them as gifts, you transform them into fuel for your aliveness.

That is what Tantra has to teach us about emotions. That’s how I completely shifted how I deal with my frustration!

I am still feeling it, hell yes!

Except that now I’m riding with it, yeehaw!

So today on the podcast, I invited my friend Janie Petersen, aka the Tantra Mama who is on a mission to bring more pleasure to parents while raising empowered kids. And we chatted about:

• Tantra & parenting (yes, those two have more in common than you’d think)

• How to own all of our emotions and see them as treasures (or diamonds in the mud)

• How to make your kids feel really heard and seen in their own range of emotions 

And in bonus, I am sharing 1 simple practice for you to start doing TODAY.

If you feel challenged by your emotions in general or one in particular, and you want to help your children navigate theirs with ease, you definitely want to listen to what we are sharing in this episode!

Listen up to the episode >>

Let me know what is your biggest take away!

Flash news:

How do I know?

Because that’s what happens when you start playing with your own energy!

You start to feel your energy tank is full to the brim when you wake up, you start dancing out of the blue, you feel alive and so good in your own skin.

I want to talk about sexual energy in a way that’ll shift how you see it.

Not too long ago I was clueless about the potential of cultivating and refining sexual energy. All I knew was that sexual energy was for sex, and that it ebbed and flow like desire and seasons.

Good enough, right?

Then I started to study taoist energy practices (like the Jade Egg) and I discovered that the way we think and use sexual energy is actually very limited.

Yep, we are all missing out on this high and nourishing energy potential to help us live our lives more fully.

We haven’t been told about any of this probably because not too long ago as women if you played with sexual energy you’d end up being seen as a witch or worst…

But you know what? It’s 2020 and the witches are back! Women are ready step up and to tap into this raw delicious power unapologetically.

Soooo…

In this juicy podcast episode I am letting you in some secrets about how sexual energy works:

• I am sharing about the different kind of energies

• the issue with stagnant energy (and how to avoid it)

• how to start building your own fresh stash

• a simple practice to refine this raw fuel and use it for whatever you need it in your life

And obviously all of these gold nuggets of info will lead the way for your orgasms to become next level mind-blowing experiences.

Once you know how to move your sexual energy inside your body, your life will never be the same!

And if you think this is not for you or sounds too complicated (or woo woo ;-) I make it really simple and practical my love.

Listen, if I learned it… so can you.

It’s all about practicing, remember first time you tried to ride a bike or play an instrument right?

Except that this time, all the practicing is fun and pleasurable ;-)

Ready? All you need is 20 min >> just press play!

Enjoy!

All my Love,

Camille

How do you feel when someone compliments you on how you look, your body, your beauty?

Do you accept it, deny it, automatically wonder “what does he/she wants from me?”

Our relationship to our body and beauty is a BIG topic.

I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t have or had a challenging relationship with at least one body part. 

We are all conditioned to look good, pretty and thin. And even if we don’t give a sh*t about the beauty standards of our culture, it’s more complicated than this. Most of us have internalized the messages received in our unconscious and we are the ones pointing to our defaults and criticizing and judging. This internal war is insidious and it takes practices to remove those patterns.

Loving your body fully, stop fighting with yourself internally and with reality is so powerful. This is how you come to a depth of self-love.

And by loving your body fully I don’t mean loving only the shiny parts but also the less popular ones. Not trying to control or change how you feel when you look at yourself but meeting every experience, sensation or thought with love. 

It’s NOT about going inside and changing all your thoughts into loving thoughts.

It’s about allowing yourself to love the one in you judging your belly and also the one in you trying to love your belly. 

It’s about allowing your whole self to be compassionate, to exhale deeply and start shifting your relationship one step at the time. 

And today on the podcast, I have Mari de Luna, trauma informed women’s empowerment coach and nutrition specialist as special guest! She is sharing her wisdom and her journey of accepting her body and self-empowerment with us.

We are chatting about:

·      Self-love, body-love and how to make it REAL (not just the concept)

·      Functional nutrition and the ONE thing to avoid to boost your libido 

·      How to tap into pleasure to make peace with and honor your body

·      And so much more…

At the end of the episode I am sharing 3 concrete steps towards loving your body that you can apply right away.

So... clear your schedule (it’s that good) and listen up to the episode here:

Lots of love,

Camille

I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the urge to let go of old stories I have been telling myself that keep me in comfort zone (out of fear).

I feel ready to let go of the mind drama and to keep choosing how I relate to myself in a positive and supportive way.

And I want to feel good about all of it and make it simple and pleasurable in the process, because why not?

That’s exactly what I want to invite you to do too.

So if you feel ready to shift towards more simplicity and spice things up in all aspects of your life this year:

Here it is! The 7-part series podcast episodes about how to SIMPLIFY & SEXIFY your life in 2020!

Starting today, there will be 7 consecutive episodes and each one focuses on one aspect and how you can shift your relationship to it:

1. Mind

2. Body

3. Sexuality

4. Emotions

5. Communication

6. Space

7. Time

It’s going to be fully packed with so much good things!

Plus for each episode I am inviting a special guest to share about the aspect we are focusing on.

And today, I am receiving Katie Walton, founder of Riggbee, that celebrate the person within the parent. Katie’s mission is to help parents carry little essentials in style and keep their identity on their parenting journey. She is sharing her experience, what worked for her and how she decided to create tools to make parents life easier.

• We are chatting about losing yourself in the fog of early motherhood and how to stay personally fulfilled and come back to yourself.

• I am also talking about the stories we are telling ourselves around being a (good) mother AND how to shift this and rewrite your own chosen empowering version.

• At the end of the episode I am sharing ONE PRACTICAL THING that you can apply right away that’ll help you deal with any mind drama you are having. You’re welcome love!

Grab a drink, get cozy and listen up to the first episode here >>

Lots of love,

Happy Friday 13th!

We are wrapping up the year and I feel a strong desire to slow down, pause and reflect back on what 2019 has brought:

• All the things achieved

• All the things that didn’t work

• The people who came in, the ones who left

• The family milestones

This year has been quite unique for me and I like to slow things down so I can learn from my wins, my mistakes and truly savor all the amazing things that happened.

I used to hide in action mode, one thing, then on to the next one, not really appreciating my achievements. My question was “what can I do next?”, “where do we go next”, I was running around looking for these answers outside…

On my inward journey I ditched this mode to focus instead on what feels loving and brings me pleasure.

Yes, the pleasure path! (oh and I also ditched the guilt too)

You get to this path when you get closer and start listening in to the inner voice of passion and purpose, the one that is calling you to step into the slightly scary or uncomfortable.

Listen to the voice inside that is begging you to keep dreaming, keep being curious and keep choosing to love yourself over and over again, no matter what.

Being a mother and choosing to focus on self-love is not for the faint of heart.

You have to be a love warrior to rediscover, reinvent yourself through motherhood and beyond while keeping guilt at bay. That is the journey I am on, and the one I want to invite you to join.

My new compass question is « what is the most loving thing I can do right now »

I borrowed it from a friend, you can borrow it too!

And one way to bring the focus back on you and step into the pleasure path is to cultivate self-love intentionally!

It is one thing to understand that self-love holds lots of keys for your happiness and another one to actually implement it in your life, FOR REAL.

If you find it challenging (and you suspect your are self-sabotaging) you have two options:

1. You can DIY and today on the podcast I am sharing 2 key self-love practices so you can start implementing right now.

2. Or if you know you won’t do it alone and want to go much deeper, we should consider working together, that’s what I am really good at ;-)

In any case, listen up to the episode here where I share some of the things I learned to come to that space of deep self-love and self-acceptance + learn the 2 self-love activating practices:

• Breast Massage (get the step by step + audio guided version here)

• Loving Myself Practice

Enjoy!

Hey!

So my sister Pauline and I went to visit the Vagina Museum in London (inside Camden Market) and it is the very first museum dedicated to all things Vaginas! Yay!

It’s such a powerful and much needed initiative to raise awareness of our gynaecological anatomy and health, to give confidence to people to talk about it and help erase the stigma around our body.

We went to see the first exhibition called “Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How to Fight Them”.

“Almost half of the world's population has one, yet vaginas and the rest of the gynaecological anatomy are still a taboo subject in many people's daily lives. Like many subjects under-represented within society and education, more myths and legends exist in popular culture about all things “down there” than fact.”

The exhibition highlights just a handful of the myths that circulate in popular culture, the internet and many other platforms about the gynaecological anatomy including society's ideals around cleanliness and appearance, periods, contraception and sex.

In today’s podcast episode we chat with Pauline about our visit and what we discovered and enjoyed there ;-)

We talk about:

• why we need to keep educating ourselves around our sexuality and anatomy

• how to keep breaking taboos and bring light to crazy myths

• our favourite part of the museum and why you’ll want to go too!

• plus a fun fact about my sister and I…

Go ahead and listen to the episode here>>

If you have a chance to come to London and visit it: go ahead!

And let’s hope more initiatives like this one will start to bloom everywhere!

With love,

Camille

December is around the corner; Christmas trees are popping up everywhere. 

Everything gets a little bit more intense day after day.

Planning, buying presents, cooking, decorating, eating and drinking.

‘Tis the season to be…. busy busy busy!’

If you like it this way: then great.

But if a part of you is already tired about the frenzy and seasonal imperatives, I would like to invite you to do things differently this year… 

Instead of pushing and keep doing and over-doing

I want you to give yourself a big dose of PERMISSION

Permission to relax

Permission to slow down 

Permission to simply be you

This is the most freeing thing to me...

And you can do that in any given situation, but the holiday season sure is a perfect and much needed time to practice it!

More than a way to cope with the stress and overwhelm of it, it is a perfect opportunity to connect to who you are at your core, to connect to how you are feeling underneath.

And to go there we need first to give ourselves permission. 

Permission to feel through the body. Instead of focusing on pushing and «improving» oneself in order to be «good enough», we shift the focus on relaxation and release.

In this week’s podcast episode, I am exploring the topic of giving ourselves permission.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn (in only 10 min):

·      How to cope with seasonal overwhelm and why you need to give yourself permission to relax daily

·      How to use this as an opportunity to meet yourself under the layers 

·      How you bring your nervous system into a downward stress spiral (and how to stop it)

·      And bonus: a gentle Solar Plexus relaxation practice to help you connect to this important part of your body (#secondbrain)

Click here to listen to today’s episode:

However you are able today, make sure you take time for yourself and savor the incredible flavor of permission. 

Major bonus here: when you live and choose to gives yourself permission you invite others to give themselves some, too! :)

Love,

Camille
