Vagina Talks

Shmumpkins, (can we call you Shmupkins?) this episode is a swim in the deep waters of erotic healing and rage. These sound like such hard and fiery territories, but there is often a softness and quietude that come alongside such passion. Sophia and Leonore dive deep in this conversation that spans far and wide and it's a real privilege to listen to them hold space together.

It’s winter here in North America, and with the winter comes the slew of holidays trying to bring warmth and light into this long, cold night. But, as many of us dread, these celebrations are often turned into political and ideological battlegrounds as dissimilar groups come together to break bread. Thankfully, Sophia is joined this week by Erica Courdae whose superpower (among so, so many) is lifting shame away and having honest and unrestricted conversations. So Erica used that superpower in her conversation with Sophia about how to navigate the many pitfalls of holiday dinners. Together, they named many different strategies that you can try for yourself and stressed that there is no wrong answer when it comes to keeping you safe. This episode was made by sensitive mumkins, for sensitive mumkins.

Buckle up everyone! Jackson Reddy is an incredible force of nature, love, wisdom, and hard-earned truths and they are here this week to take you on a fast paced journey to get closer to yourself. They and Sophia dismantle the idea once and for all that healing is always gentle and beautiful, take a serious look at capitalism, and unravel some of the lies told to us about gender identity. There's so much richness in this vibrant conversation between longtime friends, it's definitely worth a repeat listen.

Note from the 40 minute mark: Jackson was not misremembering, Edward Bernays, the father of public relations and advertising was Sigmund Freud's nephew!

Join Sophia as she talks about the gathering season we're experiencing in the northern hemisphere. This transition time from summer to winter is a rich one that can benefit a lot from taking gentle care of yourself. It is a time of grief and can be the root of so much joy once you learn to work with your grief. Sophia has a lot of wisdom and tools that can help you make the most of this time, so enjoy. And as always, take what serves you and leave what doesn't.

"If you are feeling like you want more joy, take care of your grief. Take care of it. All it needs from you is some time and space." -Sophia Wise One

We’re back! This week, Sophia returns from her hiatus with an intimate, solo episode about shame.

So, settle in for another loving dose of medicine here on Vagina Talks.

This week we hit the ground running with a small excerpt from Sophia and Candice’s pre-show conversation that was just too rich not to include. They ride a river of conversation that encompasses the idea of ‘ego death’ from all sides. So join us in this lively conversation between two identity-shedding, brilliant, powerhouse humans. 

“I’ve let go of this notion that I know anything about myself. I know my perception of self and what I call ‘lower-case truth’ or ‘personal truth’…but that has nothing to do with Truth with a capital T or ‘the Universal Truth’ and for me that’s about experience.” -Candice Yarde

“I’ve only felt lonely twice in my life, and both times a significant other was sitting by my side.” -Candice Yarde

“Love is the ultimate identity obliterator. That’s why people don’t fall in love, they get addicted to relationship patterns because those are way safer in terms of maintaining who you are, than to love.” -Sophia Wise One

“The healing and growth plane…doesn’t exist. That is all made up shit, because in order to say that I am healing or am going to heal or help somebody heal, implies that they are broken or somehow injured or less than perfect and not already evolved and exactly as they should be and as I should be.” -Candice Yarde

Join Sophia as she has a conversation with Heather Meglasson, an accomplished author, healer, and impact artist. They discuss the safety in setting clear boundaries, Heather’s Dear Shadow Letters, and her Human Phoenix Project. They weave together all this and so much more in a series of medicine stories, so take all that which nourishes you. 

“We only go into that sense of ‘what if’—that massive fear, when it’s something that really matters to us and being an artist…was important for me.” -Heather Meglasson

“I know who I want to be, I know who I am now. I am in flow when I show up…and, when you show up and you’re in flow, and you’re holding that space for healing, and for people to step into their power, and they’re starting to believe you when you’re influencing them on that better version of themselves, you know that you found your purpose. You know that you found your mission and that you are right now in this present moment where you are meant to be.” -Heather Meglasson

You can find Heather on Facebook or join her Human Phoenix Impact Forum
