We love a good Soft Girl Era--more playing, more receiving, and more feeling. There are seasons of life that require softness and the opportunity to slow down. In a hustle culture that values the "Boss Girl Babe", burnout and disconnection can so easily arise. We need the Soft Girl Era, so we can replenish, revitalize, and reconnect. When you allow yourself to soften, you'll have more pleasure, deeper relationships, and a regulated nervous system. There is strength in vulnerability and letting yourself be seen entirely so you can begin to receive what you actually desire in your life.

This episode explores:

• Shay goes from constant hustle and bustle to a state of slowness in her soft girl era.
• Rebecca learns how to open her heart in her soft girl era. 
• The misconception about vulnerability being linked to weakness.
• How to balance your "soft girl" with your "boss girl".
• The way vulnerability can enhance your relationships. 
• The challenges that can arise when you begin to soften. 
• Simple tips for stepping into your soft girl era.

What most people don't know is they already have access to the vehicle that will guide their souls into liberation here in this human life. It's the body. However, we just need the manual for how to work with the body in a way that will offer us this experience. Ancient technologies from the Himalayas and India exist that work with the body to free us from feeling hindered, stuck, trapped, and everything else the human mind tricks us into believing. Kriya Yoga and Tantra are two powerful teachings and technologies that can support modern-day human beings in finding freedom in their internal and external worlds. We have Stephanie Yen, a modern-day Tantrika and Yogini giving insight on these life-changing tools. 

Stephanie Yen is a modern-day Tantrika and Yogini devoted to the ancient Temple Arts. Stephanie specializes in a particular lineage of yoga known as Himalayan Kundalini / Kriya Yoga, as she truly sees these practices as a fast track to living a life of liberation, expansion and Self Mastery. At her core, she is here to help you fully tap into your infinite potential by awakening your life force, liberating your eros & living a life of sexual vitality. In her words - she calls this merging the realms of the sacred & wild, the holy & taboo.

This episode explores:

• A gentle introduction to an ancient technology, Kriya Yoga.
• Tantra as a track to expansion and liberation.
• Working with your breath and mantras to upgrade the body.
• The common misperception of Tantra. 
• Tantra works to drop you into your body vs the common desire people have to ascend out of the body.
• Kriyas as a form of movement meditation. 
• The reason why these ancient technologies apply to our modern-day lives. 
• What it means to merge the wild, the holy, and the sacred. 
• The power of women knowing her no, voicing it, and honoring it. 
• A man knowing when to challenge themselves further when they're on an edge. 
• The medicine found in women and men doing the work together in community. 
• The challenges that can arise when doing co-ed work.
• Stephanie guides you through the Kriya, Breath of Light, for purifying the body.

As multidimensional humans, we all have many parts to us and that's a positive thing! The moment these parts start to feel unsupportive is when they're in conflict because they've forgotten they're functioning from a bigger whole--your core SELF. Through the lens of NLP, when your parts are in conflict, you become stuck and are unable to make a decision or take action to get what you desire. Rebecca and Shay share a bit of NLP wisdom for how to navigate parts integration so you can feel whole instead of confused and stuck. 

This episode explores:

• An explanation of NLP (neurolinguistic programming).
• The basics of Parts Work/Integration. 
• Society being set up in a way that makes you choose 1 part/identity.
• Internal conflict as a result from living through parts instead of a whole expression. 
• Rebecca & Shay share internal parts they've integrated. 
• Guidance on how to start doing parts integration by yourself.
• How to differentiate between conscious and subconscious responses.

When you feel chemistry with another person, it's an undeniable magnetism. However, chemistry is not compatibility. When we get caught up in the chemistry when compatibility isn't present, we can end up in relationships that can keep us in constant loops of choices that might not be the best for us or the relationship. In this solo episode, Rebecca shares the lessons that came with getting caught up in the chemistry of relationships and the growth moments that were born from it. She shares insight on how to discern between chemistry and compatibility and an actional step you can start taking to know the kind of compatible partner you desire. 

This episode explores: 

• The maiden archetype focuses on the chemistry in a relationship.
• The difficulty to leave a relationship when chemistry is present but compatability isn't. 
• Safety in a relationship as a bare minimum. 
• Choosing to embrace a narrative from a relationship that can provide growth rather than a victim's perspective. 
• Relationships ending when two people don't evolve at the same pace.
• Getting clear on what your bare minimums, non-negotiables, and cherry on tops in a relationship. 
• Asking, "How does this relationship make me feel in my body?"
• Finding a balance between the "feeling" of a relationship and the practicality of it. 
• Making a list that actually matters when looking for a partner. 
• Chemistry naturally builds when compatibility is present.

Welcome to the beautiful world of somatic magick. We have on one of Rebecca & Shay's dear sister friends, Kendall, to talk about a plethora of topics that somehow all make sense together--somatic work, the power of merging mysticism and science, finding safety in the body for deeper pleasure and intimacy, and the temple arts of yoni/womb massage. It's a decadent episode sprinkled with magick and grounded with undeniable truths to support human beings in living more pleasurable lives in their bodies. 

Kendall is an energy intuitive and somatic practitioner - offering a unique form of work that she calls Three Cauldrons somatic bodywork - birth doula, and creates plant-based potions. She is devoted to a rooted, earthy, and simplistic way of approaching prayer and ritual.

As a science nerd turned mystic, she loves to integrate the magic that is our mind, body, and nervous system into the mystical, to support people to feel liberated in their bodies, in union with their hearts, and connected to Spirit. She believes that intimacy is so much more than just pleasure, that tuning into the subtle, slow energies of life, connects us to something greater. That this is our gateway to the divine. 

This episode explores:

• The journey of being disconnected from pleasure to becoming highly orgasmic. 
• The explanation of a Kundalini awakening. 
• The importance of knowing how to integrate Kundalini awakenings so you don't leave your body. 
• A simple understanding of the Temple Arts. 
• Kendall's specialized somatic work of The Three Cauldrons massage. 
• The reasons why emotions are stored in women's breasts and wombs. 
• The ancient remembrance and normalcy of womb and yoni massages. 
• Somatic work as a resource for safety in the body--in the womb and heart. 
• The responses the body can have in the body due to past traumas. 
• Merging science and spirituality to let magick unfold in the body. 
• Women doing their work from past traumas to deepen their relationship with men in the present. 
• The act of fully nourishing each other in partnership so you can both rise & grow. 
• One of the most challenging experiences of somatic work: "It can feel worse before it feels better".

The journey of pregnancy and birth is no small feat. Women and mothers are truly powerhouses. However, how common is it for women to truly feel supported and resourced throughout this transformative and life-changing experience? Even more so, BIPOC women have less resources and guidance available to them. On today's episode, we have Gaby Gonzalez, a pregnancy/birth/postpartum doula sharing powerful insights as to why having a doula is essential for women in all stages of this journey. Long story short, Gaby shares how the mother is entirely mothered by a doula (as she should be!) to ensure she feels empowered, nourished, and RESTED for this new chapter of her life. For any woman who plans to be a mother, this one is for you!

This episode explores:

• The lack of support women are given throughout and after pregnancy in the Western culture. 
• How to start planning and preparing for optimal rest during postpartum.

• Women and mothers not feeling alone throughout their journey when they have a doula by their side. 
• The perspective of being a patient and being "sick" when you're pregnant & birthing in a hospital. 
• A doula as an advocate for the woman during the birth within a hospital when the woman isn't in a place to make decisions. 
• What to keep in mind when you're looking for a doula. 
• Your insurance may cover a doula. Look into it!
•  Knowing your personal philosophy on birth to know how you'd like to be supported.
