the Unfiltered Mindset

Today I chat with Rebecca S. Kay about sex and intimacy! Sex is something that should be talked about, since it is such a huge part of human existence (in my opinion!). Rebecca is a sex educator and intimacy coach with over 10 years experience in the field of sexuality. Through talk sessions and body-based practices, Rebecca helps clients overcome sexual challenges, explore their authentic sexual selves, and deepen their interpersonal relationships. She offers both online and in-person sessions from her office in west-end Toronto. 

Today we discuss: 

- intimacy 

- overcoming hurdles in sexuality 

- mindful masturbation 

- female orgasm 

- rekindling desire in long-term relationships

Today I am joined by Brigita Slekys, a Licensed Acupuncturist who has studied Chinese Medicine and likes to use the Five Element Theory when treating her clients. The Five Element Theory is ancient and has been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine. The Five Elements include; FIRE, EARTH, METAL, WATER and WOOD. Each element has it's own specific characteristics and properties - and there are organized relationships between the elements, nature and the body. Brigita goes through each element with us and common attributes of each - allowing us to perhaps recognize which element(s) calls to us and how we might use this understanding to better ourselves.

Key words: 

FIRE; Joy, laughter, redness, burnt smell, heart & small intestine, bitter & cooling foods 

EARTH; yellow, sweet & singing, stomach & spleen, giving, worrisome, phlegm-transforming foods

METAL; white & grey, raspy, lungs & large intestine, grief and/or loss, clean & organized, wet & lubricating foods 

WATER; blue & black, kidneys & bladder, fear of lack, go with the flow, hydrating foods 

WOOD; blue & green, liver & gallbladder, anger & irritability, bile, acidic foods

Today I chat with my best friend Dr. Christy Lane. Christy is a start-up founder, award winning scientist, the CEO of Lane Solutions Consulting AND a professor and chair at Mt. Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She is also a wife and mother of three young children. Sounds like a lot, right? It is! But even with all of that on her plate, Christy commits to finding balance in her life by prioritizing what is important to her and her family. Christy gives of some insight to how she tries to ensure there is balance in her life, and provides us with some ideas and tips of how we can do it ourselves.  

Christy highly recommends;  

- determining where your priorities lie

  - setting boundaries  

 - scheduling not only work, but also self care and family time (and sticking to it!)

  - giving yourself grace

  - asking for and receiving help when you can 

 Christy says none of it is necessarily easy, (as most great things in life aren't), but SO worth the effort. And although balance may not be easy to maintain, it is always worth the effort to prioritize those things that make you happy :)

Welcome back to Season Two! Today I talk about my journey with alcohol over the past ten months. Alcohol is a trigger point and uncomfortable conversation for a lot of people - but one worth the discomfort in my opinion.

As always, I don't hold anything back and let you know why I went booze free for as long as I did, my current relationship with alcohol, and why I believe you should consider cutting back, or at least evaluating your own personal relationship with alcohol. 

If you want a buddy in going alcohol-free, for any amount of time, HOLLER!

In the Season One finale (!), I chat again with Dr. Laura Hughes, this time about essential oils! Laura is a global leader with doTERRA Essential Oils, and was a naturopathic doctor in the past. She understands not only essential oils in depth, but also the body's systems and how we can use oils for health.

Today we talk about FIVE oils; Lemon, Grapefruit, Peppermint, Copaiba, and Zendocrine (a doTERRA blend made specifically for cleansing and detoxification). 

We go through each oil, ways you can use them in your health care routine, and different ailments they can help aid and/or prevent. Some areas touched on today include;

- digestion

- detoxification

- hormone balance

- inflammation

- regular bowel movements

I hope you get a lot of takeaways from this episode, whether you are currently using oils, or still considering bringing them into your home. 

A HUGE thank you to everyone for all of your support in Season One, for keeping me going and confirming for me that I am on the right path. I appreciate you all more than you know.
