This week, we are speaking with Inna Segal.

Join us as we sit down, and discuss some of the more subtle parts of being human. In this epsiode, we talk about the catalyst for change & healing Inna experienced in her life after struggling with chronic pain. We open up the conversation around going within and learning to understand ourselves on a deeper level, and some ways in which we can approach doing the inner work and navigating deeply rooted emotions such as Shame and Anger. Inna explains how we can use simple daily practices, and how we can integrate the use of colour in our lives, in simple and playful ways.

Who is Inna Segal?

Inna Segal is a gifted healer and a pioneer in the field of energy medicine and human consciousness. She is the bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body and The Secret Language of Colour Cards as well as various books, card decks, journals, and audio.

When Inna was a teenager, she suffered from severe back pain. She was deteriorating despite visiting doctors, chiropractors, and other healthcare professionals.

By her early twenties, Inna’s pain was so intense that she could barely walk for weeks. In an incredible twist of fate, Inna discovered an unusual way of communicating with her body while meditating. By tuning into her back and releasing all the pain and negative emotions, she was able to heal herself.

In this week’s episode, let’s cut through the taboos. We are talking about pleasure, about yonis, penises and so much more. We need to be okay with having these conversations. Sure, there may be an appropriate time and place, but these conversations are incredibly important. Incredibly empowering. These conversations about connecting to our sexuality, our sensuality, and just to our bodies, in general, are such pivotal points when it comes to talking about health and vitality.  And to start this conversation, we are joined by Rosie Rees.

Rosie is an activist for internalised freedom, a ground-breaking sex toy creator, sex educator, and pleasure pioneer. She is the founder of Yoni Pleasure Palace, The Naked Awakening (Women’s Nude Yoga), Yinn Body, Splash Blanket, and one of Australia’s leading Sex and Relationship Coaches.

She is a voice for the taboo topics that keep us suppressed, for supporting people to shed the shame when it comes to their bodies and pleasure, and for creating more opportunities for women to appreciate themselves and experience the lifetime of pleasure available to them.
