Yes, please...

In this week's episode Erika clarifies and dives in some sexual issues like desire and orgasm disorders, pain during sex or inability to become aroused. They are common, so if this is you, you are not alone and they can be worked on, pleasure is available to you! Maybe it will take a little work, so this episode might be the perfect place to start developing a sexual growth mindset and living your sexuality to its fullest.

There is a lot of secrecy and taboos around sex and that slowly conditions you to experience your sexuality as something shameful instead of something positive and pleasurable that is worth experimenting and even necessary. Sex and sexuality, as well as relationships are skills that need to be developed but due to societal and moral expectations, and the lack of reliable sex education, people and especially women, learn to be ashamed and even reject their sexual nature; with that, inhibitions, and sometimes even sexual issues, arise. 

A sexual growth mindset helps you slowly but steadily debunk al your false and limiting beliefs and change them for new and expansive thoughts and practices that can help you work on any blockage that prevents you from experience pleasure, orgasms and a satisfying sex life.

As the sexual beings that we are, we can choose to embrace our sexuality throughout our lifespan, treating it like a "work in progress" and keep seeking pleasure al-ways. There is a part of sexuality that is not talked about often, sexuality and cancer or any other long-term medical diagnosis, so this week's guest, Faith Laux, comes to share her experience with pleasure as an added healing modality, and shed some light on this very important topic.

Faith Laux is a Somatic Sex, Love and Relationships coach. Her transformational coaching helps her clients reconnect to the wisdom, intuition and enchantment of their body so that they are empowered to thrive sexually. She helps her clients prioritize their pleasure and delight in their sexual energy. In May of 2022 she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Since then, she has been adding pleasure as a healing modality alongside her treatments to help her thrive and enjoy life on an otherwise grueling journey. She has additional experience with shamanic healing and emotional empowerment which she weaves into her offerings. Mother, artist, wife, teacher and adventurer Faith seeks to normalize the conversation around sexuality, cancer and desire.

If you start thinking about healing as an integrative work, you can approach cancer and any other long-term diagnosis as a part of your life that can be welcomed, understood, nourished and even loved. Moving with it as opposed to rejecting it and desperately attempt to purge it, bringing in an opportunity to connect with a part of yourself that calls for your attention. This smooth dive into a different stage of life, allows you to integrate all your parts, including your sexuality, and pursue true wholeness. In many cases, an unresolved sexual issue can be, not only the source of emotional distress and a dimmed sexual life, but also of disease, and there lies the importance of integration.

Being honest, we know much of our lives revolve around sexuality! So this episode is an invitation to work on yourself, embrace your sexuality and never settle for the idea that the best sex of your life is behind you. And if you or a beloved one are going through cancer, Faith's story will be truly beneficial. Tune in!

If you have been thinking about working on yourself, and you question the place you are in life, if you have been curious abut what it's like working on your sexuality, but are also intimidated and a little bit scared by that work, this episode is for you. This week Sofia has come to the podcast to tell you how she went from having almost no pleasure in her life, to rekindling her sexuality, embracing her body and running around in a bikini, and realizing that sex can get better as you age.

Sofia is a Swedish/Austrian woman living in Stockholm, bi-curious and neurodivergent with a wanderlust soul, lover of cats, and obsessed with music and human behaviour. After a separation, Sofia realized she hadn't been seeking pleasure and she knew she had to do something about it. Despite being in therapy, there was a missing piece. When she found Erika on Instagram, she knew she had to give that a try because she sensed something good could come up from there. Eventually, she ended up in SHAMELESS, surrounded by women from allover the world seeking similar things, pleasure, goodness, joy and amazing orgasms. Her journey, so far, has been more about healing, so much so that she decided to let the process take place and just learn to listen to her body and surrender to a profound healing; and it is through that healing that everything in her life got better and more exciting.

In this episode: 

How the structure of SHAMELESS can help women advance in her personal development journey and embark in a deep healing journey. 

How deep, purposeful connection with other women can help you lift a veil and see what has been lying underneath your skin.

The importance of listening to your body

The difference between therapy and a container with a practical approach, and why both are important.

In this week's episode, Carolina, a mom of 4, shares how much her life has changed after participating in the last 2 rounds of SHAMELESS. Carolina has been working on her personal development for quite some time and eventually, she realized she had to work on her sexuality after identifying a pattern in which she focused on her partner's pleasure above her own joy and boundaries. This led her to SHAMELESS and to live a fulfilling and pleasurable life, not only in the bedroom, but in all areas of it.

What happens when you constantly ignore YOUR desires and engage in sexual encounters to please the other person or because you feel it's what you ought to do even when you are not 100% down with the idea of having sex at that moment? Well, if it's a one-off thing, it might not be that big of a deal, but if it is a pattern, you will eventually find yourself losing interest in sex and probably with a deep feeling of disrespect or betrayal towards yourself. 

Fortunately, you can come to terms with the parts of you that lead you to trespassing your boundaries and the parts that you experience as "not perfect." You can learn to love them and appreciate them exactly the way they are, while seeking new perspectives and new patterns of behavior, changing your mindset and how you experience your own body and your sexuality.

You can choose pleasure, not only in the bedroom but as your new pattern and your new norm, and dive into the feminine energy and start enjoying life, just because you can!

You have an innate capacity to feel pleasure and be powerful and orgasmic beyond measure, you know that, right? Some women are yet to discover how to open those doors, and other women are somewhere halfway, but regardless of where you are in your pleasure journey, there is a fun and purposeful way to get right there, it is called SHAMELESS. In this episode Erika talks about her signature program, a 1-year-long mastermind that has changed the lives of several women around the planet. Even if you are not planning to enter a container right now, this episode will talk you through the benefits of group programs and the changes you can expect in your life when you take part in one. 

The magic of SHAMELESS.

Unlocking your capacity to feel unimagined pleasure comes not only from the vast knowledge and guidance that Erika brings to the table, but also the real juicy, sexy, sexual, deeply life-changing transformational work that combines talking and mental learning with doing, sharing, and connecting with others.

When you are part of a community and surrounded by other women who are walking their own paths but also have the same goals in mind -pleasure, orgasmic expansion, sexuality reclamation and liberation, and shamelessness,- the personal growth that you are able to achieve is more in depth and meaningful. 1:1 containers are strong, but the connection and community, the safety to express yourself unapologetically in front of several others, and being able to witness and be witnessed, is truly powerful and transformational. 

Add to the mix real, personal, and transformational hands-on work and you get a magnified growth potential.

Practices make the difference between a group program and a good group program. Although that is not the only marker, according to today's guest, Marcella Kollmann, Erika's practical approach and energy are the main reasons why she was drawn to SHAMELESS. According to Marcella, the results of taking part in this mastermind are personal, professional, and financial growth, a more satisfying sex life with expanded orgasmic capacity, heightened intuition, new friendships, and an open mind that allows her to welcome and embrace new ideas, new possibilities, more joy, and more pleasure. 

Marcella is a medical professional who, a few years ago started taking a more holistic approach to her practice. As a consequence of this and some personal experiences, her interest in women's sexuality grew and led her to seek mentoring from a sex coach and eventually, to SHAMELESS. 

Group work is so transformational. Not only do you get valuable guidance from a professional, but also the enriching experiences from other participants, witnessing their growth from a place of companionship. In this episode, you will hear how any woman of any age can heal trauma, overcome programmed ideas and experience the ripple effects of working on her sexuality. Working on yourself and your sexuality snowballs into ALL areas of your life. 

In this episode:

Why a program is a profitable investment

What growth can you expect from a group program

A hard dildo made of glass is an excellent tool for deepening your body connection and exploring a new kind of pleasure capacity in your vagina, as well as for internal vaginal healing and de-armoring. In this episode, Erika talks about all the things you can do, learn, heal, and enjoy with a glass dildo and why you absolutely want to get one.

A glass dildo is the king of dildos. A glass dildo can wake up pleasure in your vagina, create new experiences of pleasure, and sensitize your vagina. Its hardness and its weight increase and awaken the connection between your mind and your pussy; after years of not communicating with her, she might have gone numb and sleepy and as a result, you are missing out on pleasure and fascinating vaginal orgasms. 

Like any other muscle in your body, your vagina can store tension and even trauma. Massaging your vaginal canal with a glass dildo will release that tension and help you with vaginal pain if you experience any. It will also help you prevent prolapse and incontinence. 

Once you learn how to use your glass dildo, you will be asking yourself why you didn't get one earlier. Tune in to find out everything you need to know about them and where to get high-quality, body-safe pieces. 

In this episode:

Benefits of having a glass dildo in your sexual toolbox.

What results can you achieve with a glass dildo.

How to use a glass dildo to deepen your connection with your vagina, and release stored tension and pain.

"and I mean, the way that you respond to people and just deeply acknowledge and witness them for whatever it is that they are going through, and I always find that your advice and your coaching essentially, is very gentle, it gives people specific tools but a lot of space to sort of figure out what that might look like for them and a lot of times even on the call you would just take an extra moment and help that person integrate what they shared on a deeper level."
