Desire on Fire

Freedom in communication, in relationships, in life - we are conditioned to reject this idea. One partner, for the rest of our lives - that is the only option, right? On today's episode I welcome Lydia Billings, photographer, teacher, and director of programs for 100cameras. We get deep into how freedom translates into her love life, where her curiosity about polyamory led her, and the true power of deep communication.

We dive deep into:

• The celebration and cultural expectations of women (and of our body hair!)
• Her experience as a queer and polyamorous women and the role that plays in her marriage.
• Listening to our inner voice when it tells us a relationship isn't aligned.
• Depth of communication in relationships and what we can do to really SEE our partners.
• A unique perspective on love as an unlimited force.
• Jealousy in polyamorous relationships (hint: it applies to monogamy too!)
• And so much more!

All of us have the potential to live fully in our pleasure and to find the joy and peace of living in our integrity and deeply connecting with the world around us. Today I welcome speaker, author, and yoga culture advocate Susanna Barkataki to share her passion for unity and transcending our own limitations through the honored practice of yoga. Join us as we discuss the value of preserving tradition, the damage cultural appropriation can do, and how truly transformational it can be to practice yoga in an inclusive and honorable way.

We get into:

• Cultural appropriation, the damage it causes, and ways to stop the harm.
• The importance of acknowledgment when using ceremonies and traditions from others' cultures.
• Western yoga's focus on the physical and a look into the MANY other ways into a yoga practice.
• The importance of a connection to the divine and how that impacts our relationships.
• Masculine and feminine energy and the different ways we can talk about these kinds of topics in a more trans-inclusive and non-binary way.
• And more!

6 years ago I asked Geena a question, "Do you want an ordinary life or an extraordinary life?" On today's episode, I talk with Geena about the personal development journey that sparked from that question and the passion this social justice queen has for ALL people. We dive into Geena's experience as a queer womxn and how gender constructs, sexual identity and conditioning, and self-acceptance have all contributed to G's story.

We get into juicy topics like:

• Femininity and the conditioning around gender constructs.
• What a "responder" is and how it relates to our own self-acceptance.
• The importance of communicating in the bedroom and how it can drastically change your intimate life.
• How sexual education, outside of the cultural norm of male/female intercourse, is severely lacking.
• Why Geena dropped the she/her pronoun.
• The concept of sexual fluidity and how it is not widely understood even within some LGBTQIA communities.
• Interracial relationships and G's commitment to becoming a better ally.
• And more!

The disconnection from our truest selves is often disregarded in our society. The impact this can have on our relationship to our bodies, to ourselves, and to our sexuality can be life-altering. On today's episode I invite Paola Ucelo, yogi and breath and movement teacher, to get deep into her journey of self-discovery and finally giving herself the permission to follow her pleasure.

We dive into:

• Perceptions of pleasure from a young age.
• Cultural conditioning around pleasure and how this applies to sexual curiosity.
• Deep healing work and reclaiming the sensual self.
• The 3 phases of healing and how to release the things that no longer feel good in your life.

On today's episode I'm sharing my journey of when I sat in ceremony, for the first time, with the plant medicine, Ayahuasca. This ritual, when done with intention and gratitude can be SO life-changing and was an immensely profound and deeply healing experience for me. It highlighted a lot about my relationships and guided me to some strong realizations about the importance of feeling chosen, connecting and honoring our ancestry, and the beauty of truly giving and receiving someone's love. Join me as I get as vulnerable as I can to share the many insights I gained and the lasting impact I know this will have on my life and everyone who is in a relationship with me.

I get deep into:

• The ritual, from the initial taste to the beginning as I started to swim through consciousness.
• My last relationship and the surprising realization about its connection to my health.
• A vision I had of my sister, crying with her as we discussed my insights, and the question I implore anyone with siblings to ask themselves.
• Blocks around feeling chosen and admitting need and how I broke the cycle after my experience.
• Reaching "The Grandmother" and what racism is really a rejection of.
• The 'bully complex' and its relevance to Candace Owens and Trump's presidency.
• Masculine and feminine dynamics and the profound revelation I had about men and their presence in our lives.
• My huge realization about "break-ups" and a funny story about my current partner Jan.
• And so much more! (guys, seriously - so MANY downloads!)

Can we show up even if it's a little bit messy? Have conversations about race, ask ourselves if we are truly enlightened, leave space for necessary growth? In today's episode, I welcome the inspirational self-love coach and yoga teacher Sabi Kerr as we learn about her journey, of following her curiosities and using her voice in a new way. We talk about the declaration of self-worth by accepting where we are, finding safety in who we are, and treating life as an exploration.

We get deep into:

• The good/bad binary and its relation to the race conversation.
• How to release the pressure of perfection.
• Racial gaslighting and how it hinders progress.
• Common blocks to self-worth.
• The awareness of deep racial conditioning in the seemingly enlightened self-development world.
