This week’s is am joined by two wonderful women and former guests. And we dive into the delicate topic of loving and making love to women that have experienced sexual trauma. This is something that I don’t feel is talked about enough.

Amy is the founder of the Temple Of The Feminine, her titles change from time to time but essentially her expertise is in female sexuality from a holistic space. That includes embodiment trauma, understanding anatomy, pleasure and the esoteric as well.

As for Amelia, For the last three years she has been working as a sexual healer in London. Her passion is creating safe and sacred spaces for people to come home to their body, their pleasure and their sexuality. She is currently transitioning into a facilitation role - facilitating group experiences. She has really been to the depths of the darkness with her clients who have been navigating the quagmire of hell that is sexual trauma, and when it's causing challenges and discomfort in their life. Her approach is leaning towards more spiritual than physiological, and she has seen amazing results from that.

In this week's mini-episode, I talk about an area that I see that men are hugely underdeveloped in, and that hurts dating lives and relationships. And that is self and emotional expression.  As If you struggle to express what you feel and you struggle with expressing who you are, creating a deep connection and a loving and harmonious relationship is pretty much impossible.

In this week’s podcast episode, I am joined by one of my clients and friends, Samuel Adams.

Samuel was born at 23 weeks, lives with cerebral palsy, was bullied all through school because of his disability, and spent 4 years looking for a job after university due to disability prejudice but even through all that hardship and adversity, he is one of the most determined, focused, positive and loving people I have ever met.

Samuel is a coach very much focused on helping individuals to see the possibility that they have within them, that they maybe haven't been shown before or haven't been allowed to see within themselves. He shines light on what moves those blocks of damaging thinking and shows what’s out there, which is anything that’s possible for people. 

So many of us are being held back by our assumptions about life, the thoughts that we think holding us outside of us. Samuel has a real talent for guiding and helping people move past that into a new paradigm of a land of possibilities.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Living With A Disability

⭐️ Teenage Period, Going to School and Dealing with Bullying 

⭐️ The Power of Gratitude 

⭐️ The Support And Encouragement Coming From Our Parents 

⭐️ Unconditional Love And Having Someone to Keep You In Check 

⭐️ Facing Loss The of a Parent

⭐️ Looking For a Job and Handling Failure & Rejection

⭐️ The Power of Belief and The Attitude of Not Giving Up

⭐️ Limiting Thinking and Moving Past It

⭐️ Commitment To Create The Life You Want 

⭐️ How Coaching Can Change The Coach

In this week’s podcast episode, I am joined by my partner and lover, Asa to talk about how to make an anxious/avoidant relationship thrive.

Asa Baav is a dating, intimacy and relationship coach initiating high-achieving women to reclaim their power, awaken their authentic selves and attract and grow conscious relationships

She started to do her coaching work about seven years ago when she came to a point in her life where she had a full-on breakdown. After over-applying herself in everything and being completely disconnected from her body and emotions, she was forced into some important reflection time. She had a very successful career, yet in her love life, she was constantly attracting unavailable men, self-sabotaging healthy relationships and finding herself being attracted only to men who treated her really poorly.

And together, we are partners, lovers and couples coaches, guiding couples out of arguments, disconnection, misunderstandings and broken communication into deeper and deeper compassion and understanding of each other and reigniting the passion for each other and new levels of love.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Attachment Styles Theory

⭐️ What the Avoidant Attachment Style Looks like, characteristics and traits  

⭐️ What the Anxious Attachment Style Looks like, characteristics and traits  

⭐️ How Can You Create a Successful Relationship When You Are Anxious/Avoidant

⭐️ Strategies to Connect Deeply to Ask For What We Need and Understand the Other

⭐️ The Fear of Rejection 

⭐️ How We’ve Seen the Avoidant/Anxious Traits Come Up in Our Own Relationship

⭐️ Respecting the Need Of Space For Avoidant, and Reassurance for Anxious

⭐️ Feeling our Emotions, Connecting to Our Needs, and Speaking Them Out

⭐️ Handling Uncertainty & Having Your Own Comforts

⭐️The Obvious Issues & Traps We’ve Seen in Us & Our Clients as Avoidant/Anxious 

⭐️ Healing Our Attachment Styles Inside the Relationship
