What does it mean to live as a Priestess in today’s world?
Not in theory. Not in performance. But in breath. In choice. In the way you meet yourself.

In this episode, Sascha Martineau, a Certified Tantra Practitioner of the Embodied Awakening Academy and Vocal Alchemist, joins Sydelle Boscarello for a deep and real conversation on feminine embodiment, emotional truth, and the lived path of devotion.

This is not a how-to.
 It’s an invitation.
 To slow down.
 To feel more.
 To remember who you are beneath the masks.

In this episode they discuss:

• How the Priestess awakens through pain, presence, and pleasure
• Learning to listen to your womb, your breath, and your body
• Reclaiming sensuality without making it a performance
• What to do when people-pleasing pulls you out of your power
• The shadow side of the Priestess: superiority, avoidance, isolation
• How to return to your truth when the world feels loud
• Why embodiment is about feeling fully, not doing perfectly

This episode is for the woman who knows there’s something deeper calling her, even if she doesn’t have the words for it yet. For the one who has been carrying the weight of other people’s expectations, shrinking her truth, or performing what she thinks sacredness should look like. If you’ve felt numb in your body, disconnected from your sensuality, or unsure how to trust yourself again, this is your sign to pause and tune in. 

Let this conversation be a mirror, a remembering, a return. Press play and come home to what’s already inside you.

If you're pouring your heart into your work but still feel blocked when it comes to money...
 If part of you believes you have to struggle to be of service...
 If you're waiting for a bigger following, a better offer, or the perfect moment to finally receive what you're worth...

This episode is here to shift that.

In this conversation, Tara and Chantelle speak on the real stories and beliefs that keep coaches, practitioners, and space-holders stuck in lack. What comes up is not just mindset. It's nervous system patterning. It's ancestral. It's spiritual programming. And it’s ready to be seen.

This is for you if:

- You’ve been holding back from charging what you know your work is worth

- You feel shame or stress every time you spend money

- You have inconsistent clients or income, even though you're doing everything "right"

- You want to grow your business in a way that feels rooted, not performative

- You’re ready to feel safe receiving love, money and support in your body

Tantra isn’t just a practice—it’s a profound invitation to reclaim your aliveness.

In this excerpt from "Tantra Unveiled - Masterclass", Tara and Raven explore the ancient wisdom of Tantra, a path that dissolves the barriers between mind, body, and spirit. Often misunderstood as being solely about sexuality, Tantra is a sacred tradition that invites you to embrace every part of your human experience—joy, pain, desire, and grief—without judgment. It’s not about fixing yourself or striving for perfection; it’s about rediscovering the innate wholeness and vitality that already exists within you.

Through breath, movement, and connection, Tantra teaches us how to fully inhabit our bodies and emotions. It invites us to let go of societal conditioning that numbs us and suppresses our natural instincts. Imagine a life where pleasure and pain coexist harmoniously, where your sexuality becomes a source of healing rather than shame, and where every moment is an opportunity to feel deeply alive. Tantra asks one radical question: Can you fully be yourself?

This episode explores:

• Why Tantra is the key to unlocking deep healing and emotional freedom
• How embracing your emotions leads to profound transformation
• The power of slowing down and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom
• Why sexuality is not separate from spirituality but a potent tool for awakening

If you’re ready to break free from numbness, shame, or disconnection—and step into a life of vitality and authenticity—this is your invitation. Join us at the next Tantra retreat or dive deeper into this sacred practice. It’s time to ignite your inner fire and live fully alive. Are you ready?

 Quotes from this episode:
"Tantra isn’t about trying to be anything—it’s about riding the waves of aliveness. The end of all trying is the beginning of true freedom."

"Trauma doesn’t live in the mind; it lives in the body. When we allow our emotions to move freely, we release what isn’t love and invite pleasure into our lives."

Shadow work isn’t just a concept—it’s the gateway to your deepest transformation. In this excerpt from the Living Tantra Retreat in Bali, we dive into the unconscious parts of ourselves that Carl Jung called “the shadow.” These hidden aspects often sabotage our lives, relationships, and inner peace, but what if they’re actually our greatest teachers?

Through breath, sound, and movement, you’ll learn how to face these shadows head-on, uncovering the jewels they hold for your personal growth. From the victim and control freak to the wounded child and sabotager, we all carry shadows that whisper in our ears and hold us back. But ignoring them is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater—it’ll only smack you in the face harder.

This episode explores:
     • Why shadow work is the quickest path to lasting transformation
     • How suppressed parts of yourself can become allies instead of enemies
     • The key question most people forget to ask their shadows: What do you need?
     • Why embodiment—not just cognitive understanding—is essential for true change

If you’re ready to stop playing small and step into your power, this is your invitation. Join us at the next Living Tantra Retreat in Bali to experience these life-changing practices firsthand. It’s time to confront what’s holding you back and ignite the fire of transformation within. Are you ready?

Quotes from this episode:

"Shadow work is by far my favorite work out of all of this body of work, because it’s the quickest path to transformation, to that metamorphosis, and out the other side of this, through the unconscious, you actually see that these shadows are our greatest teachers and are there with these jewels for us, our allies.”

“The key piece that most people don’t do around shadows is asking that shadow: What is it that you need? What do you want? Because I keep trying to push you away, and you keep knocking at my door—clearly you’re trying to tell me something.”

Raven asks us to turn inward and reconnect with our bodies’ natural rhythms, to embrace all that arises without judgment, and to let our own energy flow uninhibited. She prompts us to ask: How would it feel to meet our deepest emotions without turning away? What might we uncover if we approached ourselves with curiosity instead of control?

Rather than dissecting the past, Tantra calls us to honor and release the emotions that arise—fear, anger, sadness—letting them flow without resistance.

Raven invites us to explore practices such as deep breathing, shaking, and self-compassion as ways to reconnect with ourselves, free from judgment or analysis. With a gentle prompt, she asks, “What am I feeling now?” as a key to open the door to inner healing.
