  • when we say yes and mean no

    Send us Fan Mail

    Welcome to the season finale of human becoming, season two. What a journey we've been on. Through exploring desire and shame, boundaries, pleasure, the erotic, and our darkness, I have become more aware of who I am as a sexual being - and I hope you have too. This final episode is the last transmission that human becoming wants to offer before moving on to season three - which will be all about love! This episode explores what happens in our bodies when we say yes and mean no. I tell the story of my own fawning/moving towards survival strategy and how that has impacted me. I speak about boundary crossings and how we hold the nuance of experiences that are traumatic (and sometimes, in a strange co-occurring way, arousing). This is a very nuanced and complex episode, I am asking you to hold A LOT, but I think it is a worthy listen for anyone who is navigating our current culture of dating, connection, sex, and intimacy.

    Hello, beautiful human becomings! This is the first episode of 2022. Yay! To start the year, we're doing a sexy intention-setting ritual together. What are some of your sexy intentions for this year? I invite you to get a pen and paper (or journal) and join me for this time of reflection as we think about what we are calling into our lives for the new year. I can feel in my bones that this is going to be my sexiest year yet. Join me as I share why, and what I'm pouring energy towards to make that a reality!

    Hello humans! This is the last episode of 2021. What a ride we've been on. This episode is a teaser for 2022 and what you can expect from the human becoming school! Awakening Pleasure is a series of workshops and classes, by yours truly, focused on supporting you in awakening to the deep levels of pleasure that I KNOW are possible for you! The first workshop, Unlocking Your Erotic Potential, is the subject of this episode. I'll tell you why this work is so important to me, why I believe it is so world-changing, and if you're feeling the call - I'm inviting you to join the school for this journey of awakening. I love you dearly, and I am excited to continue learning and growing with you in 2022. Happy new year!

  • I'm a bitch

    Send us Fan Mail

    I'm a bitch! It's one of the things I love most about myself. This episode is a valorization of the bitch, which I think is a refreshing substitute to the bitch-shaming that we're used to experiencing in society. But what is a bitch? Who is a bitch? What makes a bitch? And could you possibly be one (and could that be a good thing)? In the episode, I'll break down my thoughts and feelings on this archetype and the deep medicine that the bitch holds. I propose that the bitch is the soothing balm, the antidote to the challenges of our 'nice girl' socialization. Expect to feel challenged, but I hope that this episode offers you a new perspective on this disregarded aspect of our selves.

  • it's hard to be a slut

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week's episode is an ode to the slut - and to the challenges of being one in the midst of our patriarchal world culture. I love being a slut, but sometimes it's hard! Amidst the shame and expectations of society, I find myself being torn between my own desires and the imposed shoulds and 'supposed to's that I've received throughout my life. I hope that listening to this episode allows you to connect with and celebrate your own inner slut!
    At the end of the episode, I speak about 1:1 coaching, and if you're interested in working with me feel free to email me at [email protected].

  • taking time to rest

    Send us Fan Mail

    Hello, dear human. Long time no see (or hear, or speak). How are you doing? I've been offline for the past few weeks and this episode is about exactly that. Where have I been? What have I been thinking about and experiencing? Consider it a catch-up between old friends. I talk about rest, the importance of the choices we make in creating the reality we want to experience, and how to start disrupting our internal shame voice by lovingly asking it "is that true?". At the end of the episode, I talk about opening four slots for 1:1 coaching in the new year. You can skip ahead if that's what you're most interested in hearing about! I break down the method I use, and the heart of the work that I'm most passionate about (and would love to do with you). As always, holding you in immense love - and I hope you are taking good care of yourself!

  • the initiate's journey
    Two years ago today, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and hospitalized for suicidal ideation. Two years later, I sit in deep gratitude for this experience and all that it has taught me. I am grateful for my experience of madness and insanity, and I am grateful that my intuition has helped me to see the bigger picture of these often misunderstood experiences. My madness was a breaking open and a breaking through, it was the beginning of my initiate's journey and my dark night of the soul. Now, as I prepare to close the container of my initiation, I am in awe of this journey and all that it has held. This episode is reflective, and includes more storytelling than usual, as I update you on my initiation, what these past seven months have held for me, and how I am emerging from this cocoon.

  • allowing myself to die

    Send us Fan Mail

    Blessed Samhain! This Human Becoming episode is being released at a very sacred time - on the festival day of Samhain and a day before this podcast turns one! In honour of this occasion, I am creating a space for collective release. What are you ready to let go of? This may be personal, ancestral or collective. I speak about the fears and resistances that I am ready to let go of, and how I am dancing with death as a collaborator in this magical work. Allowing ourselves to die is an alchemical process of transformation that many of us call growth. Growth requires compost, it requires death, and the beauty of this process is that the rotting and breaking down of that which no longer serves (in its current form, at least) creates the conditions for our miraculous birthing. I invite you to bring a pen and paper, and maybe a candle, as we sit down and reflect on what we are ready to let go of and what parts of ourselves we are allowing to die.

  • in the aftermath of shame

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week's episode is a ride. We speak about one of my favourite topics - shame! Shame is an incredibly inhibiting - and human - force. It tells us that we are not good enough, that we are fundamentally bad in some way and that we are not worthy of love and connection because of some aspect of who we are. As a result, we stifle ourselves and disconnect from important parts of our being because we fear that they will not be accepted. Shame is a protective strategy that evolved in our brains out of a fear of being disconnected from our communities and this is why it feels so compelling, because the fear of disconnection from the people around us goes deep in our species. However, the systems of power-over and domination that have weaved their way through our world (read: patriarchy, colonization, and capitalism) have recognized how they are able to use this human instinct to keep us oppressed, disembodied and disconnected from our true selves. This episode is an exploration of shame, and decolonization, and how we can begin to find greater levels of freedom by seeing into the shame matrix and reclaiming our power.

  • the devil inside

    Send us Fan Mail

    This is an episode about shame, and desire, and the parts of ourselves that we call 'bad'. This is a very special dedication to the bad, to the unpalatable and the unsavory, to the perverse and the weird and the strange. This is a dedication to the erotic, and the darkness, and an ancestral reclamation of these powerful forces. For thousands of years they have been misunderstood and demonized, and humans have tried to cut ourselves off from them - to banish the darkness and welcome only light. It is this deep patriarchal fear of the darkness that I am exploring with the explicit desire of reclaiming the power (my power, your power, our power) that is tied up in these dark places.
