Dr. Tavina Lynn, final with her book link in.

Title:
Episode ___: What Is a Mother? (Featuring Dr. Tavina Lynn)

Description:
Let's talk about mother wounds, healing, and choosing your people with Dr. Tavina Lynn.

In this episode of The Cookie Secrets Podcast, chemist turned author Dr. Tavina Lynn opens up about her book "Still in My Mother's Womb" and what it really means to come home to yourself. We get into healing that is not linear, having an honest conversation with your own wound, and reframing the inner child not as something fragile to protect but as a resilient self that can lead. She also reframes what a mother is, the difference between someone who births you and the women who choose to truly hold you, and why setting boundaries with family can be how you break a generational curse. As she puts it, life is a dance.

Remember when you were younger and you would say things like "when I get older I will never do this, or that"? Now that we are older, we see the world differently and wish we could go back and give our younger selves a little advice.

That is exactly what this episode of The Cookie Secrets Podcast is about. I flipped the format and let two young ladies, Lay and Ase', ask me the questions and hear about my journey, and the advice I would give my younger self. So how did I do? Do you have any advice for them?

If you would like to offer these young ladies some words of encouragement, please email me at [email protected]. They are minors, so let's pour into them with care and kindness.

I kept your whole heart in this one and just shaped it. I left off the "Connect with" social links on purpose since they're minors, safer not to point an audience at their profiles. And I kept your email in as the one channel, since you set it up that way.

Let's talk about kink, community, and safe spaces with Sage.

In this episode of The Cookie Secrets Podcast, Pittsburgh artist, dominatrix, and event host Sage breaks down the kink and BDSM world for anyone who is curious but nervous, from what vanilla and munches mean to how to explore solo and safely. We get into domination that is not even about sex, why consent is everything, and the lack of people of color in the scene, which is exactly why Sage works to create spaces for people to connect and thrive. She also shares how she loves on herself, through pole dance, positive affirmations, and being kinder to herself the way she would be to a friend.

A local rooted in Pittsburgh, Sage balances dominatrix work, event hosting, and fine art while staying active in the city's art and kink communities.

In this episode of The Cookie Secrets Podcast, the first in the Journey of the O series, Tiara, mom of three and owner of Respect Marketing, gets bold about what cookie power really means.

Tiara opens up about birth as its own kind of trauma, finding her way back to her body after three C sections, and why self touch, rest, and even scrolling TikTok with zero shame all count as loving on yourself.
