Reckoning

On this week's episode we chat with Nikki Chamberlain, who goes by the alias Kiwi Cruisette on Instagram, she has just wrapped up the trip of a lifetime. After losing her job as part of company wide covid layoffs, she turned this devastating year into an unforgettable journey of discovery, embracing the uncertainty and following a pipe dream. She has spent the last 6 months riding solo across America on her motorcycle, camping in forests, taking the backroads and discovering what it means to live in each of the 48 contiguous states. As an immigrant, she was curious to know what life was like for Americans from all walks of life, so she interviewed locals along the way, asking them for their take on the American Dream. Her interviews, daily vlogs and educational videos are published on her instagram and youtube channel, Lunch Cutter Productions. (We learn what a lunch cutter is!) By sharing her journey and learnings along the way, she hopes to encourage other women to ride and explore - and consider taking up motorcycle camping (aka motocamping) as a way to do both. After all, if you see it, you can be it. Read the blog & Show Notes.

We couldn't think of a better guest to have for our launch of our re-brand for RECKONING, We get to hang out around the fire with Olivia Seline, Trauma-Informed Sex & Embodiment Mentor, Reiki Master, and Truth Seeker. After experiencing her own healing & sexual awakening, and through her ever-unfolding journey of coming home to herself - she felt pulled to create a sacred audio experience where we can explore the taboo life topics together outside the confines of social media with her podcast.

We discuss all things from motherhood, delivery, being boy moms, body image, relationships with your significant other, how to honor and let go of negative beliefs of sex due to religious up-bringing, to becoming confident on your own as a sexual goddess, with self love and/or with your partner. She's the no BS friend you never know you needed. Read the blog & Show Notes.
