KJ is an Instructor in the Kazami style of Japanese rope bondage at the Toronto Kinbaku Salon since 2018.His interest in rope is long standing. First picking it up over 20 years ago, but tying infrequently, he was inspired to learn by watching the shibari performances at MBE (Morpheus Bondage Extravaganza).His style centers on the power exchange and intimacy of Kinbaku and is often a playful take on semenawa (The Beauty of Suffering) with a strong aesthetic sense and a love of predicaments.Today we discuss his journey into the world of rope and bondage. We find out what led him to become an instructor and where he developped his love of tying and rigging. We learn the proper terminoligy used in this unique world and find out that rope can equally be an art form or circus like act or be used for bondage kink.Join us as I ask them about their experiences with rope and the rope community.

Episode83: How To Be a Better Lover with Susan Bratton Explicit Today my special guest is Susan Bratton. Susan Bratton, "Intimacy Expert to Millions

Episode82: The Danger of Leaving One Box for Another Part 2 Explicit Today my special guest is Xavi Benjamin. Xavi Benjamin is an artist and digital creator with an insatiable curiosity. He's the host of The Xavi Benjamin Show, a podcast with commentary and analysis about technology, culture, and politics from the communist perspective.He is a former Jehovah's Witness and in Part 1 of this conversation, we talked about his journey out of the box of religion and the impact that has had on his life. We learn about his upbringing in the religious organization of The Kingdom Hall and what led to the unraveling of his faith and the devastation that caused.This week in Part 2, we get more into the ideas of conforming to one system then when you leave that system, we often feel compelled to enter another system to feel safe and fit in. However, this can be damaging when we don't make our own choices and simply fall into another box.Many have never had to reason themselves out of their very deep faith and religion. That takes bravery and causes someone to question everything they have ever known. It's scary and it can be dark some days. We are taught to fit into certain boxes to fit in, and taught to judge other boxes. But breaking free means that you get to question the boxes that you have been forced into your whole life and you get step out of the box. You don't have to fit in a box to live a good life. In fact, many people are stuck in boxes and don't even know who they are anymore.There are others who just leave one box for another and don't even really ever question the reason they were in the box to begin with. Many just try to fit in somewhere else instead of discovering who they truly are. They never find where they truly belong because they are too busy needing to fit in another prescribed box full of rules to once again try to fit in.We get to decide who we want to be and what kind of impact we want to have on the world and those around us. We get to decide what brings us joy and then we get to create the life we desire.Nobody gets to determine your sexuality or your style of loving. Only you know what lights you up and what brings you joy and pleasure. Let's not step into another box without evaluating the reasons we left the first box. This is where we get judgement and shame from. Let's get rid of judgment and shame and honour each other's choices. Let's be loving, honest, and ethical towards others so that the world will be a much better place, full of loving freedom.If you would like to get in contact with Xavi Benjamin, you can use the links below:Facebook PageInstagramTwitterLinkedInWebsiteYouTube/PodcastLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode79: Who Is the Real You Under the Story? Explicit Today my special guest is Michaela Gaffen Stone. Michaela Gaffen Stone is a lifelong traveler and student of life, diving into new places and experiences with enthusiasm. Her journey has had many twists and turns, all with valuable points of learning. Her passion for helping elevate others from a place of stuckness to freedom, began when she became a registered nurse, caring for people's health firsthand. Realizing that this was a band aid solution at best, she dove into the world of nutrition and behavior coaching, getting certified as a Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Coach and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Her journey didn't stop there—she became a Certified Wildfit Coach and recently earned her certification in Back to Spring coaching because she truly believes in its power to transform lives.She says, "What sets me apart is my deep understanding of why we eat the way we do, especially when emotions come into play. I'm not here to push you into another restrictive diet." Most of us don't realize we are living our lives out by a story we believe to be true. In fact it is a story that runs in our subconscious and controls most of our actions and reactions. We basically live our lives on autopilot and we aren't even aware of it. Only 5% of our decisions are made from the conscious part of our mind and 95% is controlled by the subconscious mind and the stories that we have about ourselves and the world around us.Our past experiences and traumas create this story and belief system. What if we decided to not let this unknown story dictate our lives? Who would we actually be if we didn't see ourselves through this story?Michaela and I discuss the things that often create our stories and keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. As a Behavioural Analyst, she brings a lot of insite into human behaviour and why we do the things that we do. We often have emotional attachments to our unhealthy habits. We act in accordance with the story that we believe. In fact, we will only rise to the level that we believe we deserve. It's important to uncover our stories in order to live our most authentic, empowered lives and be free to create a new chosen story!If you would like to get in contact with Michaela Gaffen Stone, you can use the links below:Facebook PageInstagramLinkedInWebsitePodcast - Navigating Complicated RelationshipsYouTubeLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode75: Breaking the Cycle of Sexual Avoidance w/ Katie Ziskind Explicit Today my special guest is Katie Ziskind. Katie specializes in coaching disconnected couples who want to stay together and want to work together after high conflict fights, anger issues, affairs, sexual avoidance, and sexual rejection to develop a foundation of emotional connection, trust, and love. She supports couples who struggle with infidelity and need an affair recovery specialist that takes them through specific steps to attune to each other. Intimacy is all about being emotionally vulnerable to build a closer relationship. We don't learn emotional expression skills growing up. She says, "I help couples grow together through life transitions and stressors like infertility, becoming new parents, having a child with special needs, loss and grief, dealing with chronic pain, alcoholism, becoming empty nesters, and do so while reducing criticism, hurt, and conflict. I help couples feel safe and excited emotionally and build a strong bond, and grow together. I help couples gain sex positive skills to understand foreplay, sexual pleasure, rebuild sexual desire, connect to their sexual, erotic playful side. I give you a safe place to talk about how your strict, conservative, religious upbringing has lead to feelings of shame, guilt, fear, avoidance, lack of satisfaction, and anxiety around sex and shift into reconnecting to sexual pleasure. I help couples get familiar and comfortable talking about emotions, needs, expectations emotionally and gain sex positive education. I have a podcast available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify called, “All Things Love and Intimacy.” I am Gottman level 2 trained, Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), and couples specialist."Today we discuss the difference between male and female arousal tendencies. Did you know that female bodies need 45 - 90 min of foreplay for full arousal while male bodies need only 4 - 8 minutes to reach full engorgement? Well, most people are not aware of this.This week we have a conversation about spontanious versus responsive arousal and sex drives. Sexual avoidance happens when there is a mismatch in sex drives and a lack of emotional intimacy. How to we end the cycle of Sexual Avoidance and to bring back Sexual Intimacy? Well, we need a balance between emoational intimacy and physical intimacy.It's so important to create safety in a relationship and today we give you some strategies that can help bring back that spark.If you would like to get in contact with Katie Ziskind, you can use the links below:WebsiteClient PortalPodcast: All Things Love and IntimacyListen on SpotifyListen on Apple PodcastsLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Isn't it important to belong and make sure that we are following the rules?Our society is built on certain rules to follow when it comes to relationships and sexuality. Many of us have been taught to follow these rules with no regard to our own intuition or discomfort. We are not taught to ask ourselves what we would like, what we enjoy, what our needs are, etc... We are taught to put our heads down, hustle, do what you are told and conform so that everybody can get along and so that society can be easier to manage. The thing is, many people are living out a program that does fit them or even meet their needs. We have an epidemic of mental health issues and dissatisfaction. Past generations were not taugh about the correlation between our physical and mental health with the joy in our lives.We are told that marriage to one person forever is the only way to live "Happily Ever After." However, this is false. Very few people actually have healthy marriages and relationships. There is so much infidelity and we are taught that sexuality is shameful and desiring it is even worse. Is it any wonder that we are suffering to be authentic in our world?There is a serious cost to conformity even if you don't realize it.If you would like to get in contact with Carrie Jeroslow, you can use the links below:LinkedInYouTubeInstagramWebsitePodcastLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode73: Loving the Life You Have with Nina Powell Explicit Today my special guest is Nina Powell. Purposed with infectious inspiration, Nina is the founder of the Wild, Divine, Orgasmic Leadership Movement. Nina is sharing her liberation with the world's most impeccable women through individual and group experiences and retreats. Her clients, the bravest of women; enjoy amazing connections to their body, feel exquisite levels of self-expression, and step into their power like nobody's business. These women access their true inner goddess, magnetize their desires, and hold a divine magnetism that brings them an impenetrable inner joy and peace."When my inner world transformed I realised much of my thinking of this or that not being right was my nervous system being bound up with the past. It was causing me to want to run. Fight, flight or freeze are the only solutions that our ancient brain structures have.Truth can only come once we've transformed our inner world and reclaimed our life force. Then we find that it's possible to both create an amazing life AND enjoy it!"Our conversation today went in many directions but at the heart of it, we discussed not just creating the life you want but actually loving the life you have as the catalyst for change. When we love being ourselves and love our life even when it isn't exactly how we want it, we start to create the very life we desire. When we learn to enjoy each moment and bring pleasure into our lives, we start to notice and experience things we never noticed before. When we get out of our heads and into our bodies we start to feel and experience life at a different level.Life becomes a new adventure that we can embark on with curiousity. We can experience joy in the little things that we would never have noticed before. Pleasure is a birthright but we have been taught that it is irresponsible or an extra in life, however, without pleasure, life becomes mundane and difficult. We are built to enjoy pleasure, sensation, and joy but our society and all of it's rules have shut us down from the experience of truly living!If you would like to get in contact with Nina Powell, you can use the link below:WebsiteLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode72: A Former JW's Journey to Self Love and ENM Explicit Today my special guest is Ariel. I will keep her anonymous as she was kind enough to share her vulnerable story with us and allow me to interview her.This beautiful girl has had quite a journey growing up as a Jehovah's Witness and eventually leaving the church. There is so much shame associated with leaving a religion that is deep rooted since childhood. When you are taught that you have the absolute truth, your mission on earth is to basically tell others they are wrong your whole life. It's exhausting and it is a challenge to truly love without expectation.You are taught that self love is selfish and that you must love only God/Jehovah, or your life is basically meaningless and you risk being shunned and ostricized by the only community you have know if you question anything.Ariel was able to leave and rebuild her worldview as well. She has learned to deeply treasure herself and has overcome the shame around sexuality and body image. Modesty is revered in these communities and anything else is sinful. It is so hard to shed that programming and become sex positive.Now, she is a beautiful example of self love and successful Ethical Non-Monogamy. She is able to embrace who she is to her core and make deep lasting connections with people in this beautiful world that are based on love and true authenticity.I want this for all of you!

Are you living with joy in your body? Do you pay attention to how your erogenous body or "pussy" feels on a daily basis?This episode is truly magical and "pussylicious." When was the last time you really connected with your body enough to listen. Sacred pleasure gives us permission to get into our sensual bodies and recognize that this part of our body deserves so much more attention that what society leads us to believe. Our society knows that if we all were successful at getting rid of shame and guilt about our bodies and our sexuality, we would be so empowered and literally unstoppable. This is our lifeforce and you can't control a society that is so tuned into and aware of their bodies. I would like to imagine that woman listening to their pussys could completely change this mental health crisis we are in. Men tapping in to their sensual selves would start to really "know" themselves and show up in relationships with empowered vulnerability and care. It's amazing what happens when we give ourselves permission to get out of our heads and really start living and feeling.It's time to really shed this shame and guilt about our turn ons, bodies, needs and desires and start LIVING our PUSSYLICIOUS LIFE!Kim has a Free Gift for my listeners to get you started on this journey of activating your turn on and you can find the link below.If you would like to get in contact with Kim Coffin, you can use the links below:Facebook PageFacebook GroupInstagramWebsiteLinkedInFree Gift - 8 Tools to Activate Your Turn-On + Practice + Free Month to my Sacred Pleasure MembershipLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode68: Part 2: Is Polygamy Allowed in the Bible? Explicit Well here is Part 2 where we talk about Designing your relationships in a way that is ethical and conscious for you. My special guest is former Pastor Raymond Harris again and we get into Part 2 of his deconstruction. The deconstruction of his faith and his beloved scriptures. Raymond went to Bible School to learn how to study the Bible and teach it effectively. He calls himself a “logician” using logic and hermeneutics to interpret the “Word of God” What do you do when someone in your congregation asks you if Polygamy was allowed in the New Testament? Well, listen to this two part series about questioning what you've always known.If you grew up in the church, this conversation will be refreshing and eye opening. Questioning my faith and my programming was one of the most difficult things I have ever gone through in my life. It was scary and frustrating. It felt lonely and isolated from everything I had ever known. It's hard to comprehend how challenging it is to have your whole world, everything you've ever known, come crashing down around you. Unless you have been a part of a fundamentalist religion, you have no idea how much bravery this kind of investigation requires.I wanted to have a two part series really delving into the deconstruction process and what that looks like. I know that these kinds of conversations helped me so much when I was going through this difficult journey 15 years into my “perfect” Christian marriage.Raymond still loves to study the Bible and quotes several verses during this enlightening conversation. He says, “I have navigated away from the professional business arena. I observe life, reflect, meditate, and participate in day-to-day life, primarily interacting face-to-face with individuals, providing personal, relational, and spiritual insights and general life guidance.”Grab a warm mug of something yummy and get cozy. This is a long one but is so interesting. I hope you enjoy it and if you resonate with any of this, please reach out. It's not easy to go through this alone. It's why I do what I do. I am so passionate about Breaking Free Authentically. I thought it was a great way to end 2023.We will take a couple weeks off for the Holidays. We will be back the 2nd week of January with the episode I know you've all been waiting for, EPISODE 69!!!!This would not be a sex positive podcast if we did not do something special for episode 69.

Episode64: Unveiling the Role of Shame in Our Lives with Elle Bright Explicit Today my special guest is Elle Bright. Like most of us, I've been trapped in the claws of shame and the fear of rejection, constantly molding myself to fit into society's expectations. With the help of Elle Bright, an expert hypnotherapist and boudoir photographer, I've begun to understand the power of authenticity and boundaries. In our intimate conversation, Elle guides us through a transformative journey of self-discovery, revealing startling truths about shame and how it hampers our ability to live authentically. Our candid talk promises to enlighten you on the significance of attending to our own needs and the role of creating safety within ourselves.Have you ever felt like your relationships are a constant battle, riddled with power struggles? As Elle Bright suggests, this could be due to the fear of rejection that leads to a disconnect from our own needs and desires, ultimately affecting our self-worth. In our discussion, we dissect these fears and patterns of behavior that lead to emotional exhaustion, and Elle provides practical suggestions to navigate relationship challenges. We also delve into the concept of conflict deconstruction - a process of gaining self-knowledge and making different choices that has the potential to free us from these emotional shackles.Acceptance is a powerful tool in our journey of self-awareness and growth. As we venture further into our conversation with Elle, we discuss the power of acceptance in understanding and releasing shame. Elle also shares her insights on personal growth and the strength of acceptance in comprehending and releasing shame. We discuss the healing power of connection and how coaching can guide us in identifying and addressing our own shame and guilt.

Episode62: Why We Need to Design Our Spaces AND Our Relationships Explicit Today my special guest is Nalasa Cutler. Intuitive Designer, Home Therapist and Advocate for Inner Harmony."My purpose is simple yet profound: to awaken the inherent beauty and tranquility that are your birthright. I accomplish this by revolutionizing the way you connect, interact, and dwell within your living spaces.For me, this endeavor is nothing short of pure magic—a fusion of energy work, strategic design planning, and the profound act of truly seeing what lies within the spaces we inhabit.In my view, our connection to our physical environment is a gateway to connecting with our deepest selves."Nalasa is all about authenticity. She wants us to connect to the authentic version of ourselves in order to discover what lights us up and gives us pure joy energy. Our homes should be a reflection of us. It's a place where we can express ourselves and create an environment that we feel good in.This is also what is important for our relationships. We seem to think that once we are in a relationship, nothing can change anymore. The truth is, we should revisit our agreements and our design. Our relationships should be safe place to reflect our true selves without shame. We are told that once we commit to something we can't change our minds and revisit things. Why not? People grow and change and our desires grow and change as well. Why wouldn't we be allowed to renegotiate new terms or a new design? Instead, we just break up? That makes no sense. We don't just move house if we don't like something. Often it's as simple as a redesign.If you would like to get in contact with Nalasa Cutler, you can use the links below:Facebook PageFacebook GroupInstagramWebsiteLinkedInLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode60: Overcoming Fear, Shame, and Guilt in Authentic Communication Explicit Today I'm talking about fear, shame, and guilt and how it affects our ability to communicate. I'm doing a solo podcast today because I've had a lot on my mind lately both personally and as a coach. So many people struggle with authentic communication and I wanted to bring attention to it.In this episode we talk about:1. Understanding the Impact of Fear and Shame2. The Drama of Burying Feelings3. The Burden of Responsibility for Others' Feelings4. The Role of Guilt in Communication5. Embracing Authentic ExpressionWe need to be mindful of minimizing our emotions just to protect others from feeling pain. But that can be so difficult when we feel responsible for other's emotions and reactions. Our trauma responses often cause us to be hyper vigilant towards other people's reactions to us and our reality. We are so afraid of becoming a burden that we keep our truth to ourselve so that we protect our outer peace. The problem with that is it ends up disrupting our inner peace and then we struggle even more.Love, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

It can make the difference between having a sex and true pleasure and intimacy. Imagine understanding what your body needs in order to be turned on and experience mind blowing O's?She says that PLEASURE and PLAY is your portal for being pregnant with your life!!We talk about Emotions being "energy in motion" and how Disease or dis-ease is your body being out of ease and trying to talk to you.

Episode54: The Pussy Has a Voice Too Explicit Today my special guest is Siera Jane Grace. She is a Sacred Sex Coach who guides women in reconnecting with their sexual energy and feminine bodies. She is a Cosmic Sexuality certified instructor, a body neutrality published author and an all around embodied sex goddess. Her goal is to lovingly provide a safe space for women to become comfortable with learning about and returning to their bodies and talking openly about their pleasure. While imparting ancient wisdom and practices to aid women in healing womb and Yoni trauma.There is so much that our bodies are trying to tell us but we are too busy or ashamed to listen. For some reason, as women, we don't see the importance of listening when our pussy/yoni speaks. We should always be asking ourselves why we are doing the things we do and how we would like to feel. This gives us insight into what our bodies need and want. Siera says that many of us have been in a Yoni Coma.We talk about the different Archetypes of a woman as well. There are four different ones. The Maiden, the Mother, the Enchantress, and the Crone. These often show up in some form during our cycle and it's so important to be aware of which archetype might be prominent at the time. Each archetype has its own energy. She says to tap into how you feel and what you desire whenever you walk into a room. Especially the bedroom!There was so much juicy stuff in this episode.

Episode53: A Tragically Hip Wedding Explicit Today is a little different. I sat down with our little Hummingbird and asked her all about her first experience at a mostly Lifestyle camping weekend with our people. Listen to the podcast to find out who our little Hummingbird is to us and let me know what you think.It was a lovely wedding that we've been waiting for since Covid hit and it finally happened. Normally these camping events are Lifestyle/Swinger events but this was a swirl event (vanilla and Lifestyle). On the day of the wedding, there was a mix of family and friends that were vanilla and we all were together to celebrate our friends. We had to "behave" but since we are such a respectful bunch, we did just fine. We kept things a little spicy but we did not cross any boundaries. The bride and groom stated their comfort level and we respected that as a community/family. I say family because we are a chosen family and as you will hear, we love our family. There is such comfort in getting to be yourself with your people.Grab a drink or a cleaning cloth and join us for this glimpse into my lovely world from a newbies perspective.

Episode52: Sip, Strip, or Smooch and Canadian Elephants Explicit Today my special guest is Topher Lynn. Topher has been in the Lifestyle for over 15 years with his lovely wife and is the creator of the fun swinger game Sip, Strip, or Smooch. He also wrote the guide, "Compersion Conversations" available on Amazon. He and his wife started the Vanilla Friends Suck group which led to the Canadian Elephants group over covid as a way to connect with other Swingers/Lifestylers.He became a Certified Sexual Health Coach in order to better help newbies coming into this world with common questions about sexuality and navigating some of the difficulties that come up in the Lifestyle. He and his wife plan and host events for the Canadian Elephants group that range from outdoor hikes to winery takeovers and even destination vacations."We are a lifestyle couple that has been exploring and learning for over 15 years together. We have been hosting parties and events for the last 7 years, all starting when we couldn't find something that was more social based and focused on making connections rather than just a sex party. Recently, after having played many sex related board games, we decided to create our own game, "Sip, Strip or Smooch" based on some of the games we'd make up at our own get togethers. It soon turned into a dirtier version of Cards Against Humanity with all the fun dares and actions included that we have done for years at our parties. The final result has been a riot."This was a fun conversation about the ins and outs of the lifestyle and how we got into this world. We talk about some of the difficulties of getting started and how this game came about. We just have a fun and educational time with a few tangents here and there.

Episode51: Empowering Our Kids by Unapologetically Living Our Truth Explicit Today my special guest is Cathy Domoney. Cathy has over 20 years of experience transforming the lives of countless families in her private practice. A steadfast advocate for the child, her core philosophy is based on the delicate balance between being our children's voice while also holding them to a supremely high standard. Mother to five, she is paving the way for the next generation of parents who are raising resilient, inspirational, intelligent and paradigm-shifting humans – the greatest future leaders of our time.This episode was meant to be about how to talk about sex with your children but we quickly realized that without the foundation of instilling confidence in who we are at our core, there will never be an empowering conversation about sexuality. It starts with being able to confidently show up as ourselves and not being ashamed of who we are. Consent starts with owning your truth in other areas of life. Learning to say no is a skill we must learn. No is empowering! Learning to say it confidently is a gift. Being ourselves without shame is priceless. Sex positivity is, at its core, about not needing to fit into a specific box and not expecting others to conform to our truth. We all get to be ourselves and honour every part of who we are. This is the gift of empowerment we give to our kids!If you would like to get in contact with Cathy Domoney, you can use the links below:Facebook PageFacebook GroupInstagramLinkedInYouTubeWebsiteLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

Episode49: The Key to Happiness and Getting Unstuck with Happiness Hussy Christy Holt Explicit Today my special guest is Christy Holt. Christy Holt is a self-proclaimed happiness hussy, coach, podcast host (Create Your Happy, inspiration for conscious women, available wherever you listen to podcasts) and international best-selling author ("Unstuck For Women," available on Amazon) who loves to show people how to get out of survival mode so that they can consciously create the happy life, relationships, and impact they desire.

Christy's mentorship helps her clients to connect with their soul aligned desires and become unf*ckwithable so that nothing stops them from making the massive impact they are meant to create!In today's episode we discuss the key to happiness and getting unstuck so that you can be unf*ckwithable. The power lies in you. It's time to stop outsourcing your happiness and look at the stories you are telling yourself. You are the only one you can control. Nobody else. How someone responds to you is part of their story and their experiences. We often resort to people pleasing because we think that being accepted and liked and making other comfortable will make us worthy but that is false. It's just a big trap. We need to take radical responsibility when it comes to our lives. Responsibility for our actions, thoughts, stories, and emotions. We don't need to let others control how we feel about ourselves. That is irrelevant. It's time to own our shit and get real with ourselves. Why are we waiting for life, others, and circumstances to make us happy. Freedom lies within. It's time to get unstuck.If you would like to get in contact with Christy Holt, you can use the links below:Facebook PageFacebook GroupInstagramWebsitePodcast: Create Your HappyBook: Unstuck fo WomenLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

She helps them move through the challenges like jealousy, fear, anxiety, and insecurities in a way that strengthens their relationships, deepens trust and communication, and leaves them feeling confident. As the host of the podcast Nope! We're Not Monogamous, Ellecia believes in courageously challenging the status quo and empowering people to create relationships that work for the real people in those relationships. Throughout the past 9 years living in an ethically non-monogamous relationship while working as a sex, love, and relationship coach, Ellecia has acquired valuable insight and a unique ability to share this information with her clients and audience in a way that hits home while leaving them feeling validated and whole. This was such a satisfying conversation with Ellecia. We really covered so many topics in this episode but one thing really rings true. Do not just go from the box of monogamy to another box of non-monogamy. The journey is all about being authentic and being the truest version of yourself without shame and guilt.

Episode46: Embracing Curiosity Without Shame Explicit Today my special guest is Choiwee Moon, the host of a podcast called "Sex With My Ex" where Kitty and Johnson talk about it all and are definitely not afraid to get curious. She is a Trauma-informed Holistic Wellness Coach, Karuna Reiki Master and Pleasure & Intimacy Educator based in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. She is passionate about guiding people back to regulation and peace within themselves and educating her clients on sexual wellness.We discuss the sad reality that we have been conditioned to not be curious. We were curious as children and somewhere along the way, we were taught that curiosity is dangerous or shameful. We should just be content and do as we are told. Don't ask questions.We are living in a society that is normalizing codependency. We get into relationships to be loved, when in reality, a relationship is actually a container to learn about ourselves and grow. We bring the love with us. Curiosity keeps the novelty alive in a relationship but it also is how you discover your pleasure and what lights you up. Give yourself permission to be curious about what you desire, what you need, what you love, and what lights you up. Also, let's not forget to be curious in your sex life. It can change everything.

Episode45: How to Know if Divorce is the Right Choice! Explicit Today my special guest is Lindsay Christianson. Lindsay Christianson has been a licensed mental health counselor for more than a decade, and she's helped her clients be their whole selves, and grow in their lives and relationships. She's been married, divorced, and everything in between. Her website is www.momentumtherapyservices.com, and she offers therapy services as well as an online course for divorced women. Divorce can be such a stigmatized conversation. Lindsay and I try to shed light on this difficult decision and how to know if it is the right choice for you. Sometimes we fail to ask the important questions because we have been programmed to see divorce as a failure.Today we look at ways that divorce can be a positive thing and the best decision for everyone involved including the children.Esther Perel says, "The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life." It is so true and if we are in unhealthy or toxic relationships, that can lead to severe mental health issues and instability not only for you but also for your children if you have them. Staying together is not always the best decision or the most honourable.If you would like to get in contact with Lindsay, you can use the links below:InstagramWebsiteLinkedInLove, Karine Take the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and finally get that question answered!

She led what some might see as a charmed life with a successful career, husband, lake house and ski chalet along with all the trappings. But she wasn't happy and continued to battle anxiety and depression daily. Her life transformed when she realized that she had spent her whole life working towards a dream that wasn't even hers.

She now enjoys a spacious life that is in alignment with her values and spends her days fulfilling her Soul Purpose: Inspiring and guiding kindred souls to live a life untethered.Today we talk about solo poly and how Emma discovered this style of relating. We discuss how relieved she felt when she realized that there is a place for people who have a huge capacity to love. What a relief it was to realize that she was not strange or too much!

This conversation is all about joy and empowerment and hope. This is ultimately my desire for everyone. To choose their destiny and take the journey ethically and joyfully.

Her mission is to help people-pleasing millennials navigate non-monogamy so they can tame their jealousy and love with ease. Her own journey from feeling lonely, insecure, and jealous to feeling empowered and reassured through her Jealousy to Joy Journey is what fuels her passion to help other people-pleasers to conquer jealousy and embrace love.This conversation is so interesting. We talk about Attachment Styles and how they affect our ability to trust our partners connections with ourselves and with others.

We learn how to communicate difficult emotions to get us through the struggles we might encounter.We learn the difference between enmeshment and attachment and connection and how enmeshment can be destructive to a relationship.

We can focus on being abandoned or focus on connecting with our partners and creating a safe place place for each other.We learn to speak up for our needs and not shame our desires.
