The Inner Work Podcast

In this week’s podcast Mat and Ash interview Susannah Freedman, the author of Suffer Less: Using Yogic Principles To Live a More Peaceful Life

Ancient cultures have celebrated the coming into womanhood with ceremony and ritual. But we have lost this connection to our bleed, to our cycles, and we have forgotten the powers within us, the sacred energy we harness that can only be accessed by connecting to our natural rhythms. That of our blood, our womb, and the moon. 

In this week's podcast Mat and Ash interview Leanna Pareja, the co-creator of Spirit Woman, which is both a community and educational space for woman to reconnect with the divine feminine, sacred ritual, ceremony, and ancient traditions that connect us with our bleed and sacred cycles. 

Leanna talks to us about what it means to become a woman through rite of passage and explains why we might be disconnected to our cycles. Through our cycles, we as woman have access to our super powers of intuition, creativity, foresight, and many other extra abilities. But our cycles are not just during our bleed, they last a full lunar cycle. 

How does the moon affect our cycles? 

What types of transformations are we actually experiencing during a 28 day period and how do we tap into the deeper powers of our bleed? 

What are the four seasons a woman goes through each month?

How do we honor each season and make the most of being a goddess?

How do we track our cycles and why should we?

Even Mathew shares how this new knowledge has transformed his relationship with Ash and enhanced their lives together!

This podcast is basically bad ass and everyone, man and woman needs to hear this!

In this week's episode Mat and Ash discuss their personal journey to healing Mat's past pornography addiction and speak about the effects it has had on their relationship and spiritual journeys. Pornography use is at an all time high and is becoming more and more common and accepted. However, the effects pornography has on the brain are equivalent to that of drugs like cocaine and heroine. So why is no one talking about this in the yoga and spiritual community? Do we believe we are immune?

The impact of being exposed to pornography is much greater than we can imagine and has the power to dramatically impact the quality of our day to day lives in ways we might not even be aware of. If you or your partner are struggling with dissatisfaction with life or your relationship and have been exposed to pornography this episode is for you! Mat and Ash get vulnerable, raw, and real around inner work regarding this uncomfortable and sensitive subject. No judgment. Only healing.

How we can use yoga to harness our creativity and hits on the controversial topic of yoga and spirituality in relation to social media.
