Intro

• Happy 12th birthday to my cat Lulu!
• WWQD- What Would Queens DO?
• What would Queens say?
• What drugs would Queens use?
• What would Queens fight for?
• What would Queens look for in a lover?
• What would a Queen watch?
• What would a Queen read?
• WWJD was full of guilty connotations as a kid. I felt like, "WWJD--don't get punished! WWJD--don't get in trouble!"
• Let's change that! 
• WWQD isn't about punishment, it's about pleasure! It's a dance, it's a yoga, it's a practice.
• A way of breaking free from the things that distract ourselves
• We free ourselves of lower vibrations, because they're illusions, they're false gold. And we want the real treasure, because we are the real treasure!

 

Interview with Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps, owners of HigherDOSE

• This show wouldn't exist without Lauren and Katie
• I created and lead the Lymphatic Drainage program at HigherDOSE
• They gave me the chance to launch my business in much bigger arena than I would have on my own, and then it grew so quickly!
• Many of my guests are women I met because they were clients at HigherDOSE.
• Lauren and Katie were business partners first, then best friends, then not friends, then best friends again.
• Katie came from an extensive finance background, Lauren was doing TV hosting and had her own show, and was a nutritionist and health coach. 
• • They both went to spending 80% of time launching business, not making any money.
• "We laughed together and cried together  and argued and blamed each other and learned from each other. "
• It's like marriage without the sex
• How did you respect each other when you were fighting as friends?
• • Because we were business partners from basically the day we met, we put the business first, even when we couldn't stand each other.
  • We both understand how important energy is, so we always take the time to focus on the personal before diving into the business, because it also supports us as creative entrepreneurs. 
• "Hey babe, you're hot. Wanna start a sauna business with me?"
• How you run the business is centered around energy and intention. How do you do it as Queens?
• • If we don't want to do something, we're not gonna do it. We create for ourselves, so that we can support a need or desire we already have.
  •  Going from heart and stomach, and not from the head.
  • The heart vibrates at a frequency that's 5x stronger than the head.
  • When you're working from your heart space, you're a magnet for opportunity, attracting opportunity
  • We're not afraid to be a little irreverent and authentic, because we're not thinking about what makes us the most money all the time.
• How has your growth in the business affected your relationships?
• • Lauren is a new mom to twins.
  • •  How am i going to have children when I already have a child, HigherDOSE? So I looked at women who were already doing it, and you realize you just do it. Lifestyles and priorities shift, my children come first and then higherDOSE is second. Then self-care, and outside of that there's not much.
• Lauren has been waiting for 5 years for quarantine, but Katie is very much a free spirit. 
• • Katie: I can get more done on 2 hours of my own terms, than 10 hours for someone else. 
  • Katie: Being an entrepreneur gives me time to explore relationships and friendships.
• How has the success of the business shifted dynamics in your marriage/dating life?
• • It's important to choose a partner who wants to see you and help you grow
  • Being an entrepreneur has opened up mystique in the dating world, but there are some people who are also more jealous.
  • But if you can give your new lover an infrared sauna session, it helps.
• What seeds do you want to plant with our audience to "Grow the Queendom?"
• • Manifestation, being completely clear on what you want. 
  • Abundance and generosity. The more you give out, it comes back tenfold. 

 

Q&A

What is the lymphatic system, and why is it important?

• All liquid, 95% water, right under the surface of the skin
• Body's natural detox system
• Last filtration stop on this system are the Lymph Nodes
• • Stomach, groin, armpits, face, neck, and in women, around the breast
• Like a second circulation system: communication network all over body
• Unlike the circulation system, no internal pump, like your heart. So you need external manipulation to keep it flowing
• Can also think of it like a lazy river ride
• • Toxins in your body are like yellow rafts on the river
  • No pump
  • One too many rafts, the whole ride/river gets clogged
  • You need to deflate the rafts and add fresh water
• To keep lymphatic system flowing at home
• • Drink ½-full body weight in oz of water a day
  • Eat/live to balance your hormones
  • • Read Alissa Vitti "Woman Code" and "In the Flow"
    • • Avoid dairy and sugar
      • Save alcohol and caffeine for the week you're ovulating
      • Tailor work outs to your cycle

Moment of Flow

• My Many Names, Chloe Cofresi

Call my by my many names

Reina/ Queen

Diosa/Goddess

Yes, yes

Of love, of sensuality 

Of intuition, of magic 

Of ecstasy

But make no mistake

I contain Multitudes 

The One who can contain Me

Will revel in all the Women Within Me

The Fire that lights you 

Can burn you down 

The Sword that defends you 

Can cut to the heart of your lies

The Earth that grounds you

Can swallow you whole

The Ocean that melts you

Can beat you with her rage

Call me by many names

La hija del pirata

The Pirate's Daughter

La Que Sabe 

She who knows

Never mistake me for just one

I am Life and Death

I am Rebirth

Transformation incarnate

I am the Queen of Reinas

I am la Reina de las Piratas

Respect the Multitudes

Before you step to me

Because you will see my power 

If you come questing as my King

Be prepared to chase the Sun 

Or face the fierceness of my Shadow

Conamor

The Pirate Queen
