Running Wild with Christine

In this funny yet insightful episode, Paulie and I discuss life in all its glory, messiness and difficulty. Starting off with the drunken debauchery of how we met, we move on to travel and being a chef, and cannot go on without addressing the news of Anthony Bourdain's suicide. We do our best to discuss depression, seeking help, our personal experiences with mental health and the extraordinary effects of speaking out. If you are struggling, we see you, we love you and we need you. If you are not able to reach out, we will. You can reach Paulie @pauliechef84 on Instagram, and as for me, it's still @christinewild_ on both Twitter and Insta! Thank you for listening, be gentle with yourself and remember we are all doing the best we can.

Anita Cassidy is back! We know how much you loved Episode 6, so we are back for another round of deep questions on social standards in our relationships. We all prefer to feel good, don't we? But what happens when we experience "negative" feelings within relationships? How do we discuss them in relationships that do or don't have solid communication tools in place? We give you our best advice and share some personal stories of our recent struggles.

For you London folk, Anita and I will be in London on July 5th at her social on Extraordinary Conscious Relationships. Meet us between 6-10pm at Black & Blue, across from Waterloo station. More info on Anita's site nomoradicalrelationships.club

Hello lovers! Meet Sunny. Sunny is my wicked smart friend. She's drop dead gorgeous and a solid gal. Together, we decided to discuss the challenges we face when dating, when choosing jobs, or merely being ourselves. If you too face the problem of being called "intimidating" or "scary", this one is for you.

We also discuss privilege, unconventional career paths, relationships as they evolve through your twenties and the hard task of letting yourself be vulnerable. I thank her for speaking from the heart, because this one was super real.

Well, this week, we decided to give your brain a bit of break. So have a glass of wine and talk nonsense with Amy and I. We catch up post-Cannes (still sorry about my voice) and tell you about the weird instances when acupuncturists knew us better than we know ourselves. There are also some Book Two scoops in here, never before told stories of mine.

Are you open to the universe?

Well, ladies and gents, it was my pleasure and privilege to chat with Dr. Shannon Chavez about masturbation, Body Sex workshops, mediation, Mind/Body approaches to sexual health and fulfilment and so much more! Shannon has so much positive energy radiating out of her and I hope you can all feel it through your headphones. This is your time to think about your orgasms, your me time, the place you allow pleasure to take in your life!

I'm so sorry about my voice - I had just come back from the Cannes Film Festival, and let's just say it was taxing!

You're in for a treat! Chris Erickson, professor of Political Science at UBC, and as off recently Certified Tantric Practitioner with the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education, in Vancouver, BC, chats with me about Sex and Politics. What could the two have in common? Way more than you think! In this episode, Chris and I unpack our understanding that the approach to healthy societies is in many ways the same as the approach to a healthy sex life. The most helpful tools seem to be honesty, mindfulness, compassion, and my personal favorite, empathy. Tell us what you think about our analysis!

My friend Dani and I discuss our personal differences, but also similarities, in our approaches to defining success and happiness. We also detour through the meaning of sexual intimacy and relationships, and taking leaps of faith! Enjoy our little trip down some rabbit holes. This episode isn't a conversation between experts, it's an exchange between curious beginners at this thing called life.

Episode 7 has me chatting with Madison James, a 38-year-old Male Escort, with a keen interest in sexual development, Tantra and BDSM. We discuss his eBook, a mental guide for BDSM relationships, vulnerability, sensuality and the role of sexual energy. We question our stances on transactional relationships, social constructs around promiscuity and escorting, and the way we communicate!

In this sixth episode, Anity Cassidy and I discuss her book Appetite (http://amzn.eu/3dAVyBn), her approach to conscious relationships and writing about sexuality. We also share our takes on affairs, secret online lives, the difficulties we face as women, holding on to all the different sides of ourselves. Making mistakes is how we learn most often, don't you think? And what we've learned is that the secret to healthier relationships might be quite easy. Listen to find out!
