Way too many women hate looking at pictures of themselves, making self portraiture, and even boudoir photography, an incredible portal for transformation. Misty Moss, Boudoir Photographer, Self Portrait Artist, and Burlesuqe Performer, along with your host, Jannine MacKinnon, Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach, share about their journeys in transforming through the taboo, and the power of being witnessed and celebrated while working through your insecurities in front of the lense. If you desire to feel more confident in your body and in who you are, this is the episode for you.

Misty Moss is a boudoir photographer, self portrait artist, and burlesque performer in Victoria, Canada. Specializing in helping her clients and community see themselves as powerful works of art since 2016, she has honed in on helping others experience their own body celebration story after discovering the transformative (and frankly mildly addicting) powers of empowerment, embodiment, and self love that these art forms offer. Her motto is "my art heals my clients, and my clients heal me" - truly honouring the mutual energy exchange and transformative powers that boudoir photography holds.

This episode dives headfirst into the taboo while Gaia Morrissette, BDSM Expert, High Priestess, and Pro Dominatrix, and I chat about the incredible intersection of BDSM in healing trauma, reclaiming authentic pleasure, challenging societal stigmas and misconceptions about kink, and so much more.

By redefining vulnerability as a strength, we show you how mutual respect, consent, and clear communication create empowering and intimate relationships and experiences. During this conversation you'll be lead through practical steps to begin your exploration, from connecting with supportive communities to leveraging resources. Ultimately, you're invited to break free from shame, embrace your desires, and unapologetically claim your sexual identity, creating a deeper sense of self and more fulfilling connections.

In this episode, Whitney Kobrin, Love Expert and Dating Coach, is back again to join us for a new segment, Hot Topics, as we discuss a recent research article "Overcoming Purity Culture & Sexual Dissatisfaction to Feel Empowered In Your Sexuality." We explore how the restrictive messages of purity culture contribute to sexual shame and dissatisfaction, particularly for women, impacting not only their ability to fully embrace their sexuality, but also the physical manifestation of sexual pain like vulvodynia and vaginismus. We share frank personal experiences and strategies to reconnect with your body and rediscover pleasure through non-sexual touch, open communication, and trust-building practices.

The conversation highlights the importance of understanding personal desires, building comfort with intimacy, and aligning with one’s natural cycles for deeper, authentic connections. We hope that through this episode you feel empowered to break free from limiting beliefs, reclaim pleasure, and foster a confident, fulfilled sexual identity.

Through this week's Tuesday Transmission episode I have decided to double down on all things sacred sexuality and conscious relationships as I move forward with the podcast and online content.

Today we're getting to just the tip as we discuss the ins and outs of foreplay, and it's not the kissing and touching immediately before the act, in fact, it begins with coffee in the morning.

If you're someone who may automatically reply to advances with "I'm not in the mood", or "I'm too tired", when you truly do want more intimate connection, just feel turned off in the moment, this one's for you. You'll gain a deeper understanding of what you need to have more openness to see where those sexual advances take you.
