Podcast appearances and mentions of cindy luquin

In this episode, I welcome Cindy Luquin (she/they), who is a Certified Bilingual Sexual Health Expert and Founder of Howl at the Womb, here to school people with the language and tools to have healthy conversations about sex(uality), pleasure and gender.  Main Topics Discussed:  *The most common misconceptions around bisexuality  *How bisexuality relates to gender  *The difference between “bisexuality” and “pansexuality”  *How to best support the bisexual people in your life  Tell me about what led to your coming out.  Cindy: I came out publicly at the end of last year. I came out to my husband early 2021. I came out to myself a year prior, which made it much easier to come out to everyone else afterwards. It was emotional for me because I grew up in a religious home and was told that homosexuality is sinful. I was conditioned to suppress my feelings when I felt attracted to girls. I've finally come to a place where I feel comfortable in embracing that this is my identity. This is bigger than myself now, because I want to show more young queer people that it's okay to be who you are without shame. As for some of my relatives who aren't able to accept it, I can have empathy for them, but I just have to confine myself to what they believe gender identity and sexuality is.  There are a lot of misconceptions about bisexuality. Which have you personally had to deal with?  Cindy: Some think that I'm confused. Women would say, “You've never been with a woman, so how do you really know?” There's also this assumption that bisexual people are sexually promiscuous, that they have no ability to be faithful (aka stay in a monogamous relationship). There's also the belief that our bisexuality is only a transition stage to being gay or lesbian.   What has changed in your life since you came out?  Cindy: I feel so much happier, like a weight was lifted off of me. And I'm someone who was diagnosed with depression and PTSD as a result of growing up in a DV (domestic violence) household. Research shows that bisexual people tend to deal with more mental health issues. I had to unlearn a lot of the shame I grew up with. How did coming out impact your marriage? Cindy: There's this idea that it doesn't matter if I came out or not because I'm already married. But I'm an individual. Marriage requires honesty and vulnerability. Why wouldn't I share the real version of myself to someone who is supportive of me? I'm blessed that he was accepting and supportive, which is so rare.  What's your opinion on the word “queer”?  Cindy: It depends. Just because we've accepted that word to describe ourselves doesn't mean every bisexual person does. Assumptions are a lack of consent. Just as many young Mexicans who grew up in the United States love to call themselves chicano but older generations don't because the word was used as a derogatory slur in their time, the same is true with the word “queer”.   How have your friendships fared, both before and after you came out?  Cindy: I've always been a part of the queer community, and before, I had that fear that if I was too close with a lesbian friend, that they would think I liked them. And because of my internalized biphobia, anyone who expressed that toward me felt uncomfortable when they got too friendly. Now that I've come out and I'm a fully grown 36-year-old adult, I realized that it's all totally normal.  Learn more about Cindy:  Visit her website: https://www.howlatthewomb.com/  Follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/howlatthewomb/

Many clients tell us that intimacy issues come up because of their body image. If you've ever had the idea your body was not sexy or desirable because of your shape or size – you may wonder: how do you start to become more sex positive as part of your body image work? What do you do if you had a negative experience in the past where a partner made a negative comment about you or someone else's body? This stuff is hard to talk about, so Melissa and Dalina brought in Cindy Luquin, a bilingual certified sex educator from @howlatthewomb so we could discuss: What is purity culture? How does it impact our body ideals? How do you reclaim pleasure for yourself vs. positioning the you look as solely serving your partner? What do you suggest to help our listeners feel more at peace with parts of their body they've long felt shame about: bigger bellies, body hair, stretch marks, saggy boobs? We felt nervous to talk about as the kids on TikTok call it (we explain why that is, too!), but in the end found ourselves empowered by this conversation! How did you feel considering sex positivity in your body image work? DM us on instagram with your reaction, or, leave an honest review wherever you listened!

I had so much fun chismeando with Cindy Luquin, certified sex educator and founder of @howlatthewomb. We talked about the stigmas about body and sex health education specially amongst Latinx families. We also touched on the importance of educating ourselves about our own bodies. It sounds crazy because we think we know our bodies because school taught some cute reproductive class, but the reality is that our bodies are constantly changing so we need to get on our game to get to know it at every new chapter. This will not only help us become more aware of our needs but also help with boundaries with partners. Cindy Luquin (she/ella) is a Certified Sex Educator and Creator of Howl at the Womb. She dedicates her time to sexually empower folks through culturally responsive sex education courses, workshops and conferences.

We've all heard about or taken the pill at some point in our lives. We've been told it's going to help regulate our periods, keep us from getting pregnant, give us more certainty and control. But what happens when things aren't exactly as they've been explained? I sat down with Cindy Luquin, a Certified Fertility Doula, Fertility Awareness Educator, and the founder of Howl at the Womb to talk about the ugly truth about The Pill. During our conversation we covered so many topics including: Non-hormonal alternatives to birth control What's really happening to your body when you're on the pill and when you get off The marketing ploy that has faked us out and affected our bodies How to know if the pills not right What you can do to prepare your body when you're ready to start a family after the pill Resources Dr. Bright's Book: https://amzn.to/2OXjmqi     Links: Instagram Website Bri Braggs:

*This can be a Triggering Episode* Please listen with caution. Episode was recording with the full intention of providing a loving and empathetic conversation around topics that are Taboo in Latinx Culture.  What is the Divine Feminine? She's an energy we all embody. An energy you can easily tap into when shifting into your phases of intuition, creativity, empathy, and universal consciousness. As Latinx and WOC (Women of Color), we have suppressed our connection to our Femininity and even neglected our connection to source energy as a result. When we heal generational trauma of our female lineages we free ourselves up energetically to ascend adn remove the rust that lingers onthe links from our ancestors surrounding womb abuse and trauma: abortion, rape, stillbirths, miscarriages + more.  Cindy Luquin is a Certified Fertility Doula, Fertility Awareness Educator, Scholar, DV Survivor, Salv-Guatemalan Angeleno and Found of Howl at the Womb. She joins me in this episode to share her depth and knowledge surrounding the topics of connecting with our femininity as Latinx women in order to excel past the stereotypes and statics we're being pigeonhold within.  learn more at www.howlatthewomb.com  Connect with her at www.instagram.com/cindy_luquin  Book a Tarot or Numerology Reading with me: https://forms.gle/BBTpAittPWMqZ5gq8 Join the tribe: www.patreon.com/esotericesa  Follow my Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuTZstdCNQiYBZSKf1jLCrQ

In this episode, I interviewed Cindy Luquin. She is a holistic menstrual coach. She teaches women the power of the menstrual cycle. For a very long time, the menstrual cycle has either been viewed as a curse or a burden. Cindy has studied for the past 5 years about the meaning behind periods, how to navigate your daily life, and the importance of it. View more info on her website at https://cindyluquin.com

Birth control has long been seen as a rite of passage or a way to take control of your health. While it can be helpful, we often aren’t told enough (or anything) about what it can really do to our bodies and the side effects of it. Going off of it seems scary, too, after all of the fear around getting pregnant when we’re not ready. My guest Cindy Luquin talks about what the pill does, how we can find a hormone-suppressant free way to know our cycles and reconnect with our bodies. About Cindy Luquin Cindy Luqin is a Latina, wife, scholar, holistic menstrual coach/ educator, reproductive justice activist and fertility awareness educator. After having ovarian removal surgery from an ovarian cyst, Cindy took charge of her own health and is now dedicated to helping other people learn about their bodies, fertility and cycles.    Small Steps in the Show:  Explore your curiosity around getting off the pill Find books that can give you more knowledge (so many in the section below!)

Today, we're discussing birth control. The discussion of female reproductive health is highly politicized and while we’re still fighting to have autonomy over access to healthcare for a myriad of reproductive needs… there’s another wellness issue at hand: ...miseducation or a total lack of education about the best options for our bodies. I’m specifically referring to birth control, how it works, and the tons of options that we can use naturally or through medication. Because while women’s bodies are constantly the topic of conversation, many women are sharing how they received very little education about the inner workings of their bodies outside of the “Don’t get pregnant” message pushed by parents, schools, and abstinence programs. This lack of education leads many women to not know how to advocate for their needs or have awareness of different options. And when you don’t know your body and you don’t know your options, you can’t make informed decisions about the right doctors or medications. So today, we’ll be joined by an amazing educator who will help us understand our options and why we need to do our homework. DISCLAIMER: While we’re discussing women’s reproductive health, we are not acting as your doctors. Always seek the advice and support of your physician or other qualified health provided for your particular situation. Now without further ado, I’m glad to share that I’m being joined by Cindy Luquin, a reproductive justice activist and fertility coach.
