There are SO many mic-drops, laughs, and pearls of wisdom that you will glean from listening to Sumer and Brittney while they work through some of the trials we face as women, partners, and parents - and how solving those issues begins with educating ourselves so that we can empower others that walk the same path.

014: This conversation with the brilliant Cary Barberich may have been the most meta and yet, grounded, that's been on the pod. Spanning over the course of Cary's experience from dance to PT school to motherhood to her current offerings, she paints the picture of connecting these REAL body messages and experiences to the mind and spirit that really matter.

And if you recognize her name and face, it’s because hers was the first conversation that was shared on THIS podcast. She was gracious enough to let us share our episode here to give you a chance to hear about the transitions they’re both going through as they embark on new was of relating to their bodies and to their work - including a women’s retreat called REVEAL (which you’ll learn more about).

010: Brittney welcomes euni to the space to reflect and share about her spiritual journey to more intimacy + connection with herself and others, which led her into the kink + BDSM world and working with men. And while they go deep into what intimacy is and how it's shifted for themselves personally and for the people euni works with, there lingers a sense of mystery - because euni's work as an educator, facilitator, mentor and artist is ever-evolving and simplifying. It's beyond what the mind can TRY to comprehend, but by listening, you can sense the wonder and transformation when she holds you.

• The ways Brittney and euni have connected and continue to journey on the path together
• How euni's work connects with pelvic health

• What is blocking people from having true intimacy, pleasure, and connection
• Creating space for self to stay in alignment

• Morning + night routines being in the kink + BDSM world
• Pushing edges + growing, without getting back into another healing journey
• Beginning to work with euni on your healing journey
