In this episode we dive into the topic of "lesbian bed death". We had no idea how, who or why it even exist but after researching the topic we understood how it could come about. We also provide tips on Sacral chakra healing in hopes to help folks become more open with themselves. Thanks for tapping in!!!

We deep dive into survival mode, imposter syndrome and how relationships tend to expose the ways you may have a blocked, under active or under active root chakra. Remember to use "I AM" when creating mantras around root chakra healing.

We've found that one of the secrets to how we've lasted so long is we are intentional with sex. It's deeper than an orgasm (or 2 or 3), it's magick!

Times are uncertain but our energy does not have to be. As we are navigating through, we have to remember all the ways we have maintained good mental health and reconnect. That may require us to unplug. Whether it's your diet or the energy you take in from social media, be mindful of your oneness and find your center. Peace Ash and Cort

We all have a role to play in dismantling these systems and they all coexist. No one person is bigger than the collective. There is no wrong way to go about it. As lesbian women, we do not identity as black first. Every one of our identities intersect. People's true agendas are being exposed. We can take notes but we must not let this stop the progress. RIP to Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the countless others who have lost their lives as a result of police brutality.
