Desire on Fire

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with two dear friends who are both birth goddesses and amazing mothers, Sasha and Megan, and absorb their wisdom for empowered pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Sasha is a trained midwife, relationship and sexuality coach and postpartum guide and Megan is master certified intimacy and desire expert helping people to experience better love, sex and relationships. They both share the intimate moments of their birthing journeys including the eerily similar visualizations they both had during conception, their experiences with home births, and the inspiring details of their fourth trimesters.

We discuss:

• The behind-the-scenes of their home births and the incredible emotional and physical transformations they each experienced
• The importance of autonomy during your pregnancy and postpartum
• How both Sasha and Megan recovered postpartum (they majorly expanded my view of what's possible to receive!)

In this episode we go all the way back to the beginning with special guest Ashae Sundara, a feminine leadership coach and artist, to how she first got started as an entrepreneur (hint: it's very different from what she's doing now!!).

We get into the nitty-gritty of what she's moved through to create a massive empire impacting thousands of women, and become a 7+ figure mentor to female leaders. We relish over the synchronicities in all of our stories from our shared passion for holistic wellness to finding ourselves through pleasure, embodiment and growing into our truest selves.

We discuss:

• How Ashae's idea to bridge money and sex in her teachings has made her so successful
• What to do when past friends and family don't understand or align with your current desires or mission
• What it takes to truly follow your passions and use your voice (especially when others around you may not agree with you)

This week we're chatting with one of our very own Pleasure Mastery graduates, Suzan Taylor! Suzan has been on an incredible journey from being overly independent to falling in love with herself and becoming the ultimate receiving queen.

Suzan bravely opens up about her battles with burnout, depression and low self-confidence and how a single swipe on a dating app and a yoni massage transported her into a whole new world of unimaginable pleasure and undeniable self-growth.

We discuss:

• Her journey from self-loathing and body shame to OWNING her beauty (and falling in love with wearing lingerie!)
• The major resistance she felt to diving into personal growth work, and the magic that's come as she's continued to get out of her own way and say YES
• How she let go of numbing habits and opened up to FEEL… and how that's laid the groundwork for her juicy new romance

It's easy to get so focused on becoming the woman you want to be that you forget to look up at your surroundings! Today's episode is all about Feng Shui and will give you the permission you may need to upgrade your space from "home" to "sanctuary."

This week's guest is our new friend Patricia Lohan — Feng Shui expert, author, and master manifester. We learn a ton about the importance of our physical environment, how it can impact everything from intimacy to abundance, and simple changes we can make to become magnets for what we truly desire.

We discuss:

• Common misconceptions about Feng Shui and how it REALLY works

• Why your physical space is one of the most powerful tools for manifestation

• Patricia's tips and tricks for setting up your space to call in what you deeply desire, whether that's a love match, success in your business, a family, a life of travel, etc!

We had an unbelievably eye-opening experience this week with our friend Kyle Mercer— master coach, guru, and the creator and founder of Inquiry Method (a powerful coaching modality that he's currently teaching inside of our Desire on Fire Apprenticeship Program).

In this episode, Kyle guides us both through somatic techniques and practices LIVE, and offers us an opportunity to release our burdens so we can open more fully to the present moment.

We dig into:

• How the identity of "successful business owners" and our relationship to work, productivity and goals had both helped us and held us back
• What's coming up for Ellie as she prepares for her maternity leave and transforms from maiden to mother
• What Kyle appreciates, adores and celebrates about the feminine (this really moved us to hear!)

As always, we love to connect with you, so please send us a message on Instagram with your takeaways from this episode! https://www.instagram.com/desireonfire/

We are relishing in sisterhood this week with a warm, illuminating episode with my friends Sheree Savage, a feminine leadership coach, and Alee Reina Hoffman, a transformational coach, on our life-changing time together at the International School of Temple Arts, Level 1 Retreat.

I open up about how I faced my fear of rejection during the retreat, and the magic I've experienced from following my desires, even at the risk of hearing "no."

We digest our nourishing yet confronting experiences, our revitalized takeaways, and reveal how the retreat opened our hearts and the paths that led us to the parts of ourselves we've each denied or suppressed.

We discuss:

• How recognizing problematic patterns within us can lead to necessary transformation and freedom

• The power of saying "no" and all its fulfilling outcomes

• Accepting loss and adapting to the new revelations life has to offer

We are flipping the script this week by giving you the male perspective with our guest, Zach Watson, who Aimee's known for almost a decade. Zach is a husband, father, accountability coach, author and is currently killing the game on TikTok, where he advocates for dad's participation in pregnancy and fatherhood.

Tune into our honest conversation on marriage, masturbation, pregnancy, addiction, cheating, and so much more in today's episode.

We dive into:

• How to invite healthy conversations about sex and self pleasure in relationships without it being shadowed by shame or guilt
• The complexities and nuances of infidelity (it takes two to tango!)
• The role of men in pregnancies and how their duties and stresses are often overlooked

Birth is the ultimate surrender… and we don't just mean birthing babies. Birth can come in many different forms in our lives through businesses, relationships, opportunities, all of which we've experienced at different points in our journeys. But this week, we're especially focused on babies!

This episode is all about birthing babies, partners, and businesses as the two of us sit down and chat about Ellie's pregnancy journey that's almost at the finish line! We talk about Ellie's experience working with a doula and preparing for birth, and the many ways she's being worked by the process.

We discuss:

• How Ellie knew she was ready to get pregnant (and the many twists and turns that preceded her claiming that desire!)

• What to do when your partner doesn't react the way you want/expect them to – whether that's to a pregnancy announcement or anything else!

• Ellie's experience with the medical birthing system and the resources that have supported her in making aligned choices for her birth journey.

Want to get inspired by a badass woman truly having it all?

Our guest on the @desireonfire podcast this week is successful tech executive and philanthropist Ilana Brown, who raised $11 million dollars during the pandemic for non-profit Frontline Foods, before landing in Bali with her partner and experiencing a radical shift.

Through their travels, she dove into the world of Tantra and has since created a life of mind-blowing sex, fulfilling communication, and a whole new purpose guiding others on their awakening paths.

We discuss:

Escaping the masculine, fast-paced, New York start-up scene and manifesting a new way of life

This week we speak with a dear friend and client of ours, Audrey Castonguay. In her twenties, Audrey founded and built Wholesome Culture, a multimillion dollar apparel company, from the ground up. We have an honest conversation about her struggles with burnout and chronic pain, and what she had to face in order to heal and lead a life she truly desires.

We find out:

• Why she let go of a multimillion dollar business to follow her inner whisper of desire.

• The rock bottom moment that led to her saying yes to a feminine path (and what has unfolded since!).

• How she went from having zero interest in dating to manifesting skinny-dipping with cute guys with long hair. ;)
