Sex isn’t a topic that should be shied away from and in this episode I talk about the below and more:

Exploring your sexual anatomy

Talking about your sexual desires and acting them out

Spicing it up with sex toys (I share a personal recommendation)

Squid Game was bloody brilliant. Yes it was deep but I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially because there were so many life lessons throughout each episode. I was up until 3am yesterday morning watching it and I had to share 16 Life Lessons from Squid Game with you.

In this episode I talk about the below lessons and more:

Being careful of who you trust

Alana was always a strong independent woman who didn't need a man, but the thing was - she really wanted one.

She searched high and low, in multiple workplaces, through several educational institutions, and on 3 different continents. All she found were bad date stories, an accidental kidnapping, and the sincere belief that she was a failure in love.

In an effort to fix herself, she dove into the mating, dating, and connection research. She consumed every book, podcast, TedTalk, YouTube video, article, and course that came her way from top marriage therapists and dating experts. She began to see common threads in all of them, leading her to the concept of Feminine Seduction.

Alana now lives in Portland, Oregon with her man and a jungle of houseplants. She is a coach and creator of the signature course, The Art of Feminine Seduction.

During this episode, Alana and I have an open and transparent conversation about the following topics and more:

Alana defines feminine energy, and shares its meaning from a tantric perspective 

The power of asking emotional questions in dating and relationships

The things Alana stopped doing (the 7 shifts) to embrace her feminine energy

How to know you are probably wasting your time and need to move on

The art of seduction and drawing someone in
