Vagina Talks

Hi darlings! This episode was recorded a few months ago, and yet feels right on time as we release it today. So much of what Sophia and her brilliant guest, Jen McFarland talk about rings ever more true in this time. The tides are turning in America and they are turning in the world. Direct change is coming from our diligence, practice, and care. As we look to the future and the immense amount of work ahead of us, Jen is here to teach us ways of working smarter instead of harder so we can truly get to where we are going.

Some things discussed in this episode:

• The corporate, capitalist, world is not designed for intuitive empathetic people which can feel very isolating. Being intuitive and empathetic is absolutely a benefit and not a problem even in those spaces. We promise.
• When making a work schedule for yourself, it really goes best when you just do whatever activities are in alignment for that day. Maybe you spend the day on email, maybe you flit from task to task every 10 minutes, maybe it's a rest day. No matter what it looks like from the outside, doing aligned work each day will prove to be more productive than any other practice.
• It is so important to get help when you need it and we are all trained to not even think we need help let alone ask for it. It truly serves everyone when you get help with anything and everything that is hard for you. People you consider competition are often the best collaborators, so reach out!

This special episode was originally recorded live on YouTube in April of 2020, just a few weeks into the global quarantine. The kindness and wisdom shared in it only grow in relevance as we continue on this journey into a new paradigm. There is a reason this week's guest is known as the Intuition Queen as her gems of insight only ring more true 6 months after she shared them.

This soft, comforting episode has a few really actionable pieces of insight to help prepare for a quarantine winter and holiday season:

• Sophia reminds us that personal growth is much like a sine wave on an overall upward trend and our current worst is still better than our old worst.
• They also remind us that when faced with unprecedented fear and anxiety coming in from the outside like many of us are encountering, going back to your oldest and simplest tools can really help. What was the first thing that ever helped pull you out of darkness?
• Mara reminds us that giving your hands a task- gardening, baking, learning a new instrument, practicing with an old instrument, etc.- can pull your brain out of an anxiety spiral or any other overthinking episode.

Hello darlings, it's so good to be with you again! This week on Vagina Talks, Sophia is joined by the brilliant soul alchemist, kundalini practitioner and all-around sweetheart, Ali Fitzpatrick. This warm conversation has so many nuggets of wisdom, you might want to take notes.

Some major topics in this episode were:

• The practice of kundalini yoga, or "energy" yoga, is a powerful tool of alchemy. It can help us process the explosion of energy many of us are experiencing as we awaken in this major time.
• When we look for rigid separation in the gender binary, even in the divine gender archetypes, we can't find it. The harder we push on those ideas, the more they just collapse, and we find a fluid spectrum of sameness.
• As we each navigate our mother wounds, it can be a huge comfort to separate our idea of mother from the person who birthed us. Each of us can pray for and receive a divine, perfect mother when we look to the Great Mother, and into ourselves.

We're diving right in this week with some of the pre-interview conversation. These dear friends have such a sweet and clear connection, it was impossible not to share. Our guest this week is Kandis Golden who is a filmmaker, animator, and tarot reader amongst many other things. Kandis and Sophia talk about many things in this episode, but it all seems to center around making art despite the global pandemic and political unrest that are defining our lives right now.

In this episode, they talk about:

• The ways they have been preparing for these times and cultivating practices that support them inside of crisis
• Kandis talks about how you can't unbreak hearts, but you can mend and cleanse them until they are immaculate.
• Sophia talks about how fear is an incredibly important informant. It's not the boss of your life or decision maker, but it's a very helpful tool.

You can find Kandis on instagram @kandis.with.a.k or @ediblethefilm or on her website kandiswithak.com you can also send her an email at [email protected]

Join Sophia this week as she talks with Dr. Heather Clark about the many layers of chronic stress and burnout. This lively conversation has so much rich information in it, you’ll walk away feeling so much more informed and enriched. These brilliant people aren’t afraid to change their minds when presented with new information and show what learning and growing can look like in real time. They have unshakeable centers and share from those centers in truly generous ways. Enjoy!

Some of the points of this fantastic discussion are these:

• Stress and burnout can come from being something you aren’t or putting your center outside of yourself. This can happen easily when your soul evolves and you keep living life in your old pathways instead of forging the new ones this new version of you requires.
• “Sipping beauty like a hot tea.” Sophia put into words a feeling you may recognize or at least empathize with. It’s when there is so much beauty and goodness in this world and when confronted by it, you shut down instead of basking in it because it’s just so intense a feeling. It can be quite painful to be confronted with beauty in the midst of grief, so it can help to sip on that beauty like it’s a hot tea and respect your own need for grief and insulation around your heart. 
• Do your own work, and only your own work. Let’s say it again, do your work and only your work! Be self-centered! Practice ruthless, constant, profound self care! Bubble baths and outdoor walks are excellent ways to tend to yourself, but don’t mistake them for the end-all and be-all of Self-Care. But on the other hand, don’t dismiss them as weak or useless just because of their popularity in the mainstream. If anything, their popularity speaks to their effectiveness. 
• When you center your life around yourself, you aren’t inherently sucking the life out of other people, you’re just centering your life around yourself. Where you are. Where you always are. Is there anywhere else your life is supposed to be? Didn’t think so. 
• When you denormalize and lay down the abusive/colonialist/patriarchal/etc. patterns in yourself; when you really stop harming your self, you suddenly start to see those things where you didn’t before. When a tv show or a person at your dinner table or a fellow student in your class says or does something harmful, you notice. Because it’s suddenly a statistical outlier to you in your experience. When even only a small number of us lay down those weapons of both self and community harm, we can pick up the tools to build a bridge to the world where everyone lays them down.

Darlings! It feels so good to be back in the realm of Vagina Talks! Join Sophia this week as she talks all things Mother Wound with the divine and brilliant Sage Taylor Kingsley. This conversation got going so quickly, there was no time for a formal introduction so we'll put it here.

I know that this time feels brain breaking, not new. For some people now, the clanging news feels and is new. New information, new astonishing heartbreaking information. Can it be true? Can it be so so so unjustly rigged? For others, the heartache and break are rooted in how old it is. How redundant and shapeshifting obvious continuous. The most heartbreaking part about it all, all of it, is how not new it is.

And yet, I am an optimist in my fervor and commitment to continue until it is different. And I also believe it is different, in some ways the systemic white supremacy is different in it's shifting costumes of delivery method. In other ways, the difference is the actual response and true solidarity I am witnessing and the true listening to black leadership and direction by real allyship. Funds being shifted by mayors, charges being made, meetings with citizens where silence and being ignored was the standard. Change, because of the movement. Thank you #BlackLivesMatter.

Sophia is joined this week by Fia! As in, Fia the enchanting, singing, songwriting Swedish goddess who blessed us with her presence and beautiful songs. If she isn’t in your music rotation yet, wow are you in for a treat! She and Sophia have a great conversation about many of the aspects that surround a life devoted to channeling true, and beautiful things. There is a tenderness and sensitivity to these two human beings that makes a bountiful episode ripe for repeat listens. 

Here are some highlights from their deep-dive conversation:

• Fia talks about feeling “extra layers of life” that she can access. Of course, all people can access these layers, but for whatever reason, many don’t. Feeling just so, so sensitive and having a difficult time relating to peers while growing up, but finding solace and power in the arts. “I stopped waiting for someone to give me permission to do my soul’s work and for it to look a certain way as society presented it to me.” -Fia
• They both talk about the deep desire to turn healing skills towards family members, and the truth that we can only do that by healing ourselves. We will see shifts and ripples flow out past us into our loved ones when we change, and it’s only by getting out of the way of their unique journeys that true healing can happen. When we remember ourselves back into being, others will be undoubtedly affected. 
• They talk about finding your own authentic medicine lineage without stepping on others or blundering into sacred spaces uninitiated. Sophia talks about the complexity and intricacy of these lineages as we keep moving and mingling across the planet and forgetting and remembering our histories. Are we not just as bound to the lineage of our birthplaces as we are our many ancient homelands? What about the stars from which we come? When we come at these questions with respect and authenticity, they all become equally real and equally ours.

Sophia is joined this week by the epic Alexandra Jamieson who you may recognize from her prominent role in the Oscar™-nominated documentary Super Size Me, her bestselling books Women, Food, and Desire and Getting to Hell Yes, her podcast Her Rules Radio, or any of her many other incredible offerings to this world. It’s a real honor and pleasure to listen in on this conversation that is both intimate and inviting. These two are fearless as they navigate some deeply painful experiences together with grace and gentleness.

This episode covers a lot of ground, including:

• Inner-child-healing with a physical doll to represent the kind of tenderness that kind of self-care requires.
• Growing up with mentally ill, addict parents, other suicidal relatives and the path to healing from that and the ways that can affect you as an adult. 
• Sleep, dreaming, insomnia, herbal sleep aids, and the different kinds of dreams they can induce.
• They talk about how artists are the shepherds that guide us through difficult times like the ones we find ourselves in now.
