I'm excited to share with you a recent interview I did on the Breaking Norms, Building Dreams radio talk show with host Brittney Ashley. We had such a great conversation digging into an array of topics from mommy martyrdom, our relationship with our partner's as being the foundation of our family, what meditation actually is, how to build a relationship with your body, the effects of patriarchy not only on women, but on men too, and so much more!

Unpacking Mommy Martyrdom, Relationships, Patriarchy, Mindfulness, and More on Breaking Norms and Building Dreams with Brittney Ashley

Show Notes:

I am honoured to be joined by Sayra Player, Creator of the Goop featured Guided by Glow erotic meditation app as we discuss the many different facets of sexual empowerment including overcoming embarassment and shame through sexual healing, the importance of community support in personal growth, reconnecting with your body through your senses and opening up your sensuality, and so much more! 

So grab a cup of your favourite cozy bevvy, personally I love a good french press coffee with cinnamon, and be a fly on the wall as us girlfriends chat openly and honestly about the different facets of women's sexual empowerment. 

Sexual Empowerment with Sayra Player of Guided by Glow

Sayra Player

My life’s focus is to create community and healing through fine art.” Sayra founded and teaches at The Playground, where she leads movement, psychedelic breath work and empowered parts work through scene study. She studied breathwork with David Elliot & Frequency Breathwork. her natural power of presence and awareness of her sensorial body gained her a seat at The Actors Studio, where she has grown alongside acting legends. The sensory approach practiced there is much like that of somatic therapy, going into the tension (perhaps past trauma), unlocking the trapped energy through imagination, through being deeply curious.

She spent months in Poland and Italy searching for the potential of aliveness, through ancient song and exercise with the iconic Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski. Her Jungian mentor Elizabeth Kemp taught her how to harness the power of my subconscious mind, to go deeper than making intentional choices but to work with the material of the soul to know the self deeply. As a creator. Sayra has written, produced, cast, starred in, directed film and theatre for her whole adult life. As an Artistic Director of The Collective NY (founding member Amy Schumer), she nurtured over 60 artists, produced 10 plays, a benefit, a fundraiser, developed television and film. She also created Guided by Glow the #1 sexual meditation audio app for female and nonbinary embodiment practices. As a mom, she produces a beautiful and safe container for her 10 year old to blossom.

Today is a fun topic as we dive into the 5 surprising side effects of embracing your sexuality. Many women, particularly those focussed on establishing themselves in their careers or family life, tend to push their sexuality to the side. They think it's friviolous, or even selfish, and just not worth their time, but they couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, embracing our sexuality is so much more than sexual experiences and orgasms. It's using the taboo as a portal of transformation to level up in so many different areas of our life including a booming confidence, strong boundaries, expanded presence, increased playfulness, and flourishing creativity. 

In this episode we dive into all of it, as well as providing you with three key takeaways you can enact today to create a foundation for an empowered sexuality that positively impacts all areas of your life. Without further adeau, pop in those headphones, or turn on that speaker, and let's get into it!

I work with alot of productive women, amazing go getters that have achieved the career, built the business, cultivated the family life, stabilized finances, and they're left with an imbalance in their masculine and feminine energies that's causing them to feel exhausted, critical, stressed out, and disconnected from themselves and their sexuality. The masculine primary energies served it's purposed for quite some time, supporting them in achieving everything they've achieved, and it get's to a point where it's no longer serving them and they're left with some unfulfillment, craving more passion, presence, and pleasure in their life.

If this sounds like you, I invite you to plug in those headphones, and do what you love doing while listening to your favourite podcast episodes, because this is going to be a great one! You'll gain more clarity with why you're feeling stuck in this way, while shifting your perspective to what's truly possible. I'm not here for the exhausted mom narrative, and neither are you. Let's create a ripple effect of change showing more women how they can be a present mom, have the career or business, have a passionate and playful relationship, and experience some of the best sex of their life!

Why You Need to Date Yourself

Embracing Your Shadows: A Deep Dive Into Self-Lofe

Embodied Manifestation: Dressing For Your Higher Self

Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain triggers and reactions persist despite years of dedicated self-improvement work? It's a common experience, one that often leaves us feeling frustrated and perplexed. Despite our best efforts to address these triggers logically, they continue to surface, seemingly unaffected by our progress. Whether it's a lingering reaction in our relationships or a persistent response in intimate moments, the cycle can feel relentless.

Self-Love is such a big topic, one that I find is interpreted as more of the excited, honey moon, fan girling kind of love. When in my opinion, true self-love is deeper, founded in understanding and acceptance, it's more of an unconditional flavour of love. It's an important distinction to have, one that I think makes it more realistic and attainable, while also understanding just what is needed to get there. I discuss all of this and more in today's podcast, Embracing Your Shadows: A Deep Dive into Self-Love.

Embracing Your Shadows: A Deep Dive into Self-Love

Welcome, beautiful souls! Today, let's delve into one of my favourite embodiment and manifestation practices, the devotional act of getting ready every morning. Amongst perfect morning routines, the piece of actually getting dressed is so often overlooked, yet it's pivotal in aligning how you feel throughout the day with your higher self. It's through this act of self love, we're able to put on an armour of confidence through our clothes, and begin to think like her, act like her, and make decision as her. Aligning us more and more with our manifestations.
