Nikki and Amanda explore some tools to dive into your inner landscape and find the healing path that’s best for you. We talk vulnerably, openly, and honestly about sexuality, self-respect, living bravely and authentically, and so much more.

If the words sex, intimacy and personal transformation resonate with you on your healing path, this podcast will make your soul light up! 

: : :

Boundaries - what are they and how do I embrace radical self responsibility?

How to be sexual and successful - finding the confidence and power from within!

Tell me everything about sex magic and how to find balance while putting my needs first!

How do you know what you’re meant to call in and how do you mindfully and bravely do that?

Diving into self enquiry in order to drop conditioning and programming, to live out our fullest expression. 

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Take a moment with YOU. Ask yourself, “What do I need? What do I want? What is it that ignites me?” When you discover those desires, declare that you will, or one day will, speak boldly and passionately in every space of your life to receive all that you want, desire, need, and deserve.

Marika walks us through what it's like to make big life transitions and navigate the difficult and heartbreaking spaces in between. We get into the embarrassing ways we show up in relationships and how we're learning every single day how to be a better friend, partner, and version of our Self. Marika's candid, humourous, and vulnerable insight offers something for everyone. 

: : :

How do I learn more about myself, who I want to be, what's important to me and how to stay firm in my conviction?

So if I'm not happy with how I'm showing up in my life, it's actually possible for me to change?!

Just how powerful and important are our thoughts and the story we tell about them?

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Next time you start to feel nervous, excited, or anxious about something take a moment to pause and observe - what are you feeling in your physical body? What is the story you're telling yourself about these sensations? If the story isn't beneficial, how could you change the narrative to support you, elevate you, and set you up for success?

: : :

Marika guides people who want to make a positive impact in the World, by helping them to step into their divine power and shine their light bright.

She is a fully qualified Life Coach, Reiki Master and Yoga Teacher. Mindfulness is at the core of her work. She uses it to help people connect to their higher-self, and get direct guidance in order for them to feel more aligned and free.

Sarah and I explore what it means to rediscover your body in ways you never thought possible. Letting go of the “shoulds” we’re told about how to look, how and what to eat, and how to love ourselves. This is for those who know what it’s like to dislike your body, struggle(d) with eating and constant dieting, but it’s also for those who have found a deep well of gratitude and love for their bodies and selves - this is literally for everyone.

: : :

Who am I without my career? My relationship, friends, titles, education?

How can I learn to love myself when everything falls away?

What if I don’t think I can ever like my body, let alone love it?

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Declutter your life of negative influences. Unfollow, mute, delete, unfriend, whatever it is that you need to do in order to clear your space of people, media, and experiences that tell you you’re not good enough. Bonus marks for checking out and diving into Sarah’s resource list for body positive people and accounts to follow! Surround yourself with those who inspire and elevate you, in real life and on social media.

Dion Freeman, of Healing Aotearoa, takes us on a journey of healing, Maori culture, spirituality, and so much more. This conversation takes us on a deep dive into the messiness, but necessity, of spiritual awakenings and how we can navigate them and allow them to transform us. 

: : :

What can I do when self-doubt and worry start to seep in? How do I believe in my Self? 

Are you sure this healing stuff isn't just hippie bullsh*t?!

What else is out there that I can start opening my mind and heart to?!

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Take time out in nature, whatever that looks like for you, and sit in silence. What do you hear? What do you notice? And now maybe there's an opportunity for you to ask your Source, God, Universe, Energy (whatever a higher power means to you if that resonates) for some guidance, for clarity on your next step or something you've been struggling with. Ask for a sign that you can't miss and then stay mindful and present and notice the signs. 

: : : 

Healing Aotearoa, under the guidance of Dion B. Rangiuaia Freeman, provides a cultural and holistic look at your healing, accounting for the balance needed in mind (hinengaroa), body (tinana), spirit (wairua), family (whānau) including the overall emotions and connection for each of us. Healing Aotearoa provides healings for a wide range of dis-ease, offering services in traditional Māori spiritual healing known as ‘Honohono’, as well as traditional Māori Bodywork (Mirimiri, Romiromi) and other spiritual services that range from distance healings, home and office blessings, Pounamu carvings, animal healings and workshops (wānanga).

Olly helps shed light on how we can play with the edges of our Selves to discover not only who we truly are at our core but what it means in the bigger scheme of things. 

: : :

Wait, you dance like no one is watching while you're completely sober?

I don't have to be "spiritual" in order to experience the fullness of life?!

How can I act from a place of connection and be more involved when I feel isolated or alone in this big world?

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Spend some quality face-to-face time with people who care deeply about. Make it a distraction-free (yes, this means no phones) space where you can connect through laughter, presence and wonder.

: : :

Olly offers his unique insight and openhearted connection in everything that he does but it shows up so deeply when you're on the dance floor moving to his passionately curated beats at Queenstown Ecstatic Dance. See you on the floor, QT!

Nina is sure to ignite your sexuality and help you rediscover a deeper connection to your truest self through compassionate conversations, healthy boundaries and incredible orgasms!

: : :

How do I communicate what I want and need in all areas of my life, from the office to the bedroom?

What does it mean to move TOWARDS the things I want instead of AWAY from all that I don't want?

And in all seriousness, is it actually possible to have better sex than I can even fathom simply by getting in touch with my truest self?! 

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Ask yourself what is ONE thing that is holding you back from being your Truest, Fullest, Wildest, Most Authentically Badass Self and what can you do to start changing that right now?

: : :

Get in touch with this Sex Unicorn and Intimacy Mentor to truly tap into your power and truth to unlock your fullest, wildest, most abundantly incredible self! You can find Nina at www.ninapowell.org

Charlene brings her contagious laugh and bright spirit to this conversation on what it looks like to go from not even liking yourself to loving yourself fiercely and unconditionally. 

: : :

How do I know if I actually love my Self and does it really matter?

How do I become ok with the uncertainty and not knowing the outcome of a big risk?

Won’t I look weak and incapable if I ask for help or support? **Spoiler Alert: You’ll actually look strong and sexy As Hell

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Next time you think to yourself, “I can do this on my own. I’m a strong, independent human”, ask your Self if you really need to be independent in this moment and where that belief came from. Who’s day could you make by reaching out for support while simultaneously making your life a little easier? We call this a win-win-everyone-wins.

: : :

Charlene has spent the majority of her life trying to fit into the boxes that society has constructed for us but never feeling like she fit in. A year ago at the age of 41 she decided to start listening to her inner truth, quit her conventional job and conventional life in Queenstown, packed all of her belongings into her car and travelled north to seek ocean, a warmer climate and seek a different way of living. She is now living a gypsy lifestyle by choice and trusting in the universe to unveil her journey as she goes. She relies on her art, yoga teaching and dance facilitation for money and is loving life more than she ever thought possible.....

Thomas Mo tells us what it's like to be in the world of fashion, consumerism and how to stay true to yourself in an ever-changing and demanding world. It's time to rethink our connection to our clothing, where it comes from, and what it means to us and the environment!

: : :

Is mass consumerism really a thing and what's the big deal?

Wait, I can have an emotional connection to the clothing I’m buying and wearing?!

So tell me the 3 main things I can do to be a more conscious consumer.

---> Our Invitation to YOU = Research and make a list of local brands, thrift shops & consignment stores that align with your values and share it with your friends!

Sharing is Caring & Knowledge is Power

: : :

Thomas Mo started in the apparel side of things in high school at a retail store. Since then, he graduated with an Economics degree and has held various positions in the sales and BD world of technology.

He started Alberta Apparel over 4 years ago, and more recently Greater Canada Apparel. Alberta Apparel is a Made in Canada clothing brand that sells direct and through retailers, representing our beautiful province. Greater Canada Apparel is a brand that works with other companies, bringing their brands to life using a Made in Canada, finished locally approach. He sees a great need for everyone to know and understand where their clothing comes from because of the fast fashion movement.

Within the industry, Thomas wants to educate people on the Made in Canada movement, promote it, and encourage consumers to buy less, but buy smart. There is so much clothing in the world right now that we don’t have places to put it, or even throw it out.

The reason why Thomas joined Fashion Revolution was to continue his knowledge of the industry and network with like-minded individuals. He is passionate about what Fashion Revolution stands for and the possibilities of it within Calgary. He wants to connect the makers, brands, end-users, sewers and retails into one main hub for a bright apparel future within Alberta.

Lindsay offers her perspective on why you are exactly where you are meant to be, why accountability is key and the hard fact that Confidence is everything!

: : :

Ugh, but accountability can feel so hard and uncomfortable, isn't it easier to just look at everything that's to blame outside of myself??

It's really ok to question absolutely everything and make my own informed decision rather than believing everything I hear? HELL YES < More of this, please!

---> Our Invitation to YOU = What beliefs or preconceived notions are you challenging this week? Take one long-standing belief that was passed onto you from family traditions, values, whatever, (think politics, religion, stereotypes, etc.) and get curious about it. Ask other people what they think and see if understanding the other side of the coin shifts your perception. Let us know how you go!

: : : 

Lindsay is a mom to (almost) 4-year-old twins; a child sleep consultant; and a lifelong thinker and learner. She’s never been keen to understand the meaning of life, because it’s always seemed pretty clear: love. She believes the keys to any successful relationship (especially the one with oneself) are respect, empathy, and the ability to take accountability for one’s actions. She is a lover of good friends, game nights, and the Oxford comma.
