  • The Cervix Episode - The Sacred, the Scarred

    You’ve probably had a Pap smear.

    But have you ever talked about it?

    Sylvie and Angie go there—breaking down what really happens at the intersection of medicine, trauma, and the female body. From Nazi medical experiments to modern “standard procedures,” they expose the cold, clinical culture of cervical care and show how somatic awareness can turn one of the most dreaded experiences into an act of radical self-connection.

  • Breath for Pelvic Healing and Pleasure

    You breathe all day… but are you doing it in a way that actually supports your pelvic floor, your pleasure, or your nervous system?

    In this episode, we explore the sneaky ways breathing habits impact your jaw, your genitals, your sleep, your orgasms, as well as your ability to feel.
    With practical breath tools (like lateral ribcage expansion and the microcosmic orbit), we guide you back into your body with humour, honesty, and a little drool. (Yes, corks and growling are involved.)

    In this episode, Sylvie and Angie break down the five core pillars of embodiment:

    🫁 Breath
    🔊 Sound
    🖐️ Touch
    💃 Movement
    👁 Placement of Awareness

    We explore how each one helps you come back to your body (especially when you’ve left it), how they relate to trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and sensual aliveness and how you can begin using them today.

    Expect practical tips, nerdy insights, personal confessions, and zero tolerance for spiritual bypassing.

    Mentioned in this episode:

    – How these pillars show up in sex, intimacy, and emotional processing
    – Why some people can't "just breathe"
    – The nervous system mechanics behind movement and sound
    – A free workbook to help you explore the five pillars in your own body
