  • 64: Embracing your inner witch: remembering forgotten reproductive health and natural fertility awareness practices – interview with Siri Kalla

    If you are inspired to explore and researched your options in reproductive health and natural fertility awareness methods, then this episode is for you!

    In this episode, Erika’s guest is Siri Kalla. A modern witch (according to Erika), who teaches women all around the world how to understand their menstrual cycles, learn safe natural birth control, and learn how to truly nourish their bodies into resolving menstrual cycle health and fertility problems.

     

    Siri was born in Sweden but lives in Norway. Her work originates around menstrual cycle health and fertility from a functional medicine approach - meaning that she looks for root causes rather than just treating the symptoms. 

    At the core of Siri’s work is the wish to give menstruating people full sovereignty over their bodies. Understanding the menstrual cycle, fertility, and menstrual health is a human right and a basic necessity for a truly feminist society.

    She has been on her own journey of healing, understanding and befriending her menstrual cycle since 2009, took my certification as a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner at @justissecollege between 2013-2017, and founded Our Fertility in 2018 to be a container for this work. 

    While discussing Siri's work, the conversation delves into the historical persecution of female power, embodied sovereignty, and wisdom held by women, midwives, and witches. 

     

    In this episode:

    1. The historical background that set the stage for the current modern medical system, and how it impacts the knowledge we have about fertility.

    2. The weaknesses and issues with the current Western medical system in regards to female reproductive health, and the benefits of alternative methods.

    3. Siri's work in functional medicine and her wish to give menstruating people full sovereignty over their bodies.

    4. The importance of understanding the menstrual cycle, fertility, and menstrual health as a human right and basic necessity for a truly feminist society.

    5. The availability of natural fertility awareness methods, such as the Justisse Method, and Billings Method, as alternatives to conventional medicine options.

    6. 63: Defining your sexual KPIs: A framework for relationship intimacy

      In this short and sweet episode, I explore the concept of defining your sexual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and how it can enhance intimacy in your relationship. The idea originated from a group coaching session in the Slut Academy course and offers a fun and useful mindset framework for sexual fulfilment. By setting measurable metrics and tracking progress, couples can open the door for non-judgmental conversations about desires, needs, and compromises in a relationship and improve their sexual connection.

       

      In this episode:

      1.   Recognizing the value of setting sexual KPIs in relationships.

      2. Creating a system and defining what constitutes sexual success and fulfilment in a couple.

      3. Identifying goals related to frequency, quality, and emotional aspects of sexual intimacy.

      4. Exploring different components of sexual connection beyond intercourse, and emotional qualities that support a healthy sexual connection.

      5. Reflecting on the need for adjustments and improvements based on progress tracking.

      6. 62: Enhancing relationships: how women can understand and feel safe with men – interview with Alison Armstrong

        If you want to feel safe around men and genuinely crave to understand the differences between the two genders so you can improve your relationships - this episode is for you!

        In today's episode, I have the honor of hosting Alison Armstrong, an extraordinary woman whose wisdom has had a profound impact on understanding ourselves as women, relating to men, and cultivating positive partnerships.

         

        Alison's work is life-changing, helping us feel safe within ourselves and with the other sex. While we won't be able to cover every aspect of this vast topic in just one hour, this episode serves as a fantastic introduction to Alison's work and the transformative insights she shares.

        I highly recommend having pen and paper handy to take notes during this jam-packed episode, filled with empowering knowledge and wisdom. Get ready for an enlightening conversation that has the potential to change the way you perceive yourself, men, and your partnerships. Enjoy!

         

        Alison is a sought-after speaker and thought leader amongst people with the desire to live empowered lives. Her philosophy and approach are referenced and taught by other authors, speakers, business consultants and therapists. Alison Armstrong’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991, with her decision to study men:

        “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.” Her success in understanding men naturally led to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two.

        As her work evolved over decades, Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age and upbringing. She distinguishes normal human instincts that compel both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs and relationships.

        Besides fulfilling the need to understand “Why” people behave as they do, Alison offers practical, partnership-based alternatives. Through her seminars, books, online programs and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families and productive organizations.

         

        In this episode:

        1. Alison's journey of studying men and women to uncover the reasons behind their behavior and how it affects relationships.

        2. How to feel safe around men and what actually makes them angry!?

        3. Discovering the universal human instincts that influence behavior, regardless of gender, age, or upbringing.

        4. Recognizing how our instincts often lead us to act in ways that undermine our own goals, values, needs, and relationships.

        5. Alison's practical approach to fostering fulfilling and empowered lives, loving relationships, and stronger families.

           

          I highly recommend having pen and paper handy to take notes during this jam-packed episode, filled with empowering knowledge and wisdom. Get ready for an enlightening conversation that has the potential to change the way you perceive yourself, men, and your partnerships. Enjoy!

                If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis but are looking for ways to feel empowered, reclaim pleasure and enjoy sex again - this episode is for you!

                 

                Today, Erika is talking to Georgia Seymour-Smith, the founder and CEO of O Blooms.

                 

                Erika and Georgia are delving into the topic of endometriosis and share Georgia's personal journey with the condition. From her diagnosis to her desire to maintain a healthy sexual relationship, they explore her challenges and how she overcame them. 

                Georgia also discusses how her experiences inspired her to create a vibrator company that caters to people with endometriosis, allowing them to continue experiencing sexual pleasure even if penetration is no longer an option.

                Georgia battled painful periods since she was young. Despite seeking medical help, she was repeatedly told that her pain was normal. 

                One morning, when Georgia experienced a new, excruciating pain in her abdomen and was rushed to the ER where she had emergency surgery to remove her appendix. Upon waking up, she was diagnosed with endometriosis, which made it hard for her to have a positive relationship with sex due to the pain it caused. 

                However, Georgia didn't let this stop her. She discovered the transformative power of vibrators and how they could help her embrace her sexuality and find pleasure despite her condition. This inspired her to create O Blooms, a company that offers discreet and powerful vibrators designed to empower women to own their sexual wellness. Georgia's vision for O Blooms is not just about selling vibrators but pioneering a movement that celebrates and elevates women's sexual health and wellbeing.

                 

                In this episode, you will also hear about:

                1. The importance of disconnecting intercourse from sex.

                2. Vibrators can help change that relationship.

                3. A holistic approach to sexuality.

                4. Celebrating and helping women have more pleasure, even in the presence of endometriosis, pelvic pain, and vaginal pain.

                    6. 55: How to Have an Orgasmic/Ecstatic Birth

                      Can giving birth feel ecstatic? Oh yes! It can even feel orgasmic! And if this sounds too good to be true, this episode is for you!

                       

                      It all comes to rethinking our perceptions of birth and incorporating pleasure and relaxation into the birthing process, which can lead to a more positive and empowering experience of giving birth for many women. 

                       

                      It is already known that the negative perception of birth and the commonly-held belief that childbirth is a painful and traumatic experience for all women is a result of over-medicalization and institutionalization of the birthing process. Many women are often left feeling isolated and traumatized after giving birth, with the medical establishment and system setting the tone for the entire birthing experience.

                       

                      The truth is that birth was not intended to be painful, but rather a natural, innate capacity of women that should be honored without intervention. 

                       

                      In this episode, Erika introduces the concept of orgasmic or ecstatic birthing, which involves using pleasure, relaxation, and surrender as tools to facilitate a calm and positive birthing experience. Women are hungry for positive birth experiences and can use these tools to reduce stress, fear, distractions, and blockages that prevent them from experiencing a calm and ecstatic birth experience. 

                       

                      It’s all about creating a different culture around birth that honors physiological birth, reduces the need for medical interventions, and ensures that women have a positive, empowering experience.

                       

                      In this episode:
