Revolutionary Rising

We are built for pleasure and thriving y'all. And as women and femmes of color, accepting this truth is so deeply important for us. In today's episode, I talk with sexual empowerment coach Ann Nguyen about the powerful healing quality of her work. We discuss how she integrates her ancestral lineage into her work, her revolutionary vision for the world, and how the integration of pleasure into your life can change everything.

We dive into:

• How sexuality and divinity are interconnected and how Ann taps into both in her work
• Why and how she integrates her ancestral lineage into her pleasure work
• How disconnection from pleasure plays a role in our lives as women and femmes of color
• The difference between sensuality and sexuality and what pleasure actually means
• Ann's 5% pleasure rule (and how to integrate it into your life!)
• The tangible ways that pleasure can play a role in your business
• Resistance to our sexual power and how trauma can play a role
• And so much more!

What bullshit stories have you been told around money? Truth is, as women and femmes of color, we need to ditch the traditional finance narratives and harmful capitalist culture if we want to cultivate a healthy relationship with money. On today's episode, I have a deep conversation with financial therapist Lindsay Bryan-Podvin about navigating a business that feels in integrity within capitalism and how to release the shame around money to run a more revolutionary business.

• Why a shame-free relationship with money is so important to Lindsay and her work
• The stark binary in the traditional finance world (and how to undo this damaging messaging)
• How the money mindset conversation can be spiritual bypassing in disguise (and how to spot it!)
• The difference between guilt and shame in reference to money and how it impacts your ability to show up
• How to distinguish good debt from something that might not actually be serving you
• Navigating revolutionary business while in the capitalist structure
• How she helps clients define money trauma

I can teach you the right way to live, to do business, to thrive. Heard this bullshit story before? The truth is, the right or wrong binary is deeply damaging to us as women and femmes of color. On today's episode, I dig into the impact of rightness on our mindset and on the way we operate in life and business and discuss finding true liberation by allowing your intuition to guide you instead.

I'm digging into:

• How living in an either/or world is a direct function of white supremacy (and how to release yourself from this trap)
• What happens when you allow your own intuition to be "right" instead
• How the right/wrong binary might be showing up in your business
• What this binary is actually teaching you about yourself and why this is so damaging
• An important question to start asking yourself about who you follow and the content you consume
• What could be happening in your life and business if you are too focused on being right
• How the people you follow and listen to may be disempowering you (and how to stop this from happening!)
• My take on the path to liberation and the ONE thing you need to do to find yours
• And more!

If you don't feel worthy in your identities, you won't feel worthy in your life or biz. So, by whose rules are you measuring if your identities are important? On today's episode, I am unpacking my spiritual identity and reflecting on why we hide from the parts of ourselves that might turn people off and instead why we need to embrace and reclaim every part as important and valuable.

Im digging into:

• The importance of rewriting the narrative from dominant culture around spirituality
