What if your lack of desire has nothing to do with hormones… and everything to do with swallowed rage?

These tiny joys can add up and help calm your nervous system over time. Your body knows what it needs: Pay attention to how your body feels, and move towards things that feel good in a gentle way. Whether it's petting your dog or just swaying to music, small positive actions help restore a sense of safety.

Underneath the niceness society expects of women is a fiery independent nature that's buried deep says Lisa Marchiano. She's a licensed social worker, podcaster and author. She says traits like ruthlessness, shrewdness and even rage are banished by expectations for women and emerge as bitterness, resentment, anxiety and depression. She offers encouragement and insights from her clinical practice and her own life help women rediscover parts of themselves that may have been lost. Her new book is called The Vital Spark Reclaim Your Outlaw Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire.

In this week's Find Your Feminine Fire episode, Amanda discusses why it's crucial to create safe spaces for self-expression and how to bounce back from shame. She breaks down where shame comes from, how it affects us, and even shares Dr. Brené Brown's thoughts on shame and vulnerability.  Amanda also talks about how rituals can help set the stage for creativity and sexual expression. She mixes in personal stories and offers real tips on how to push back against shame, build self-trust, and celebrate the little victories to stay true to yourself. Don't miss next week's episode, where she'll talk more about building a supportive community. Key Takeaways from this Episode: Creating a Sacred Space: Whether for creativity or intimacy, setting up a dedicated, clutter-free space can really help you focus and be present. Lighting a candle, playing music, or simply clearing your area can signal to your brain that it's time to get in the zone. Shame Resilience: Shame can seriously hold us back, especially when it comes to sexual or creative expression. Recognizing where that shame comes from, questioning its validity, and sharing your feelings (even if it's just in a journal) can be super healing. Express Yourself: There's this idea of the "Expressionista"—the part of you that's all about expressing your true self. Nurturing this side of yourself, whether in art, in the bedroom, or just in daily life, helps you feel more alive and connected. Handling Self-Criticism: When those harsh, self-critical thoughts pop up, sometimes you've got to stand up to them. Just like you'd defend a friend, you need to protect yourself from that inner critic and remind yourself that you're doing the best you can. Good Enough is Great: Perfectionism can be a real buzzkill. Sometimes, getting something done and out there is better than holding back because it's not "perfect." Trust that what you're putting out is valuable, even if it's not flawless. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review if you enjoyed this episode.

 Deep in each of us, a Vital Spark fights to free us and set us back on the path.  Lisa, Joe, and Deb were joined by more than 300 audience members for their first-ever live podcast to celebrate the launch of Lisa's new book, The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire.  The "Vital Spark" is the core essence of our innermost fiery qualities—creative aggression, fiery sexuality, emboldened disagreeableness, sharp-witted trickery, burning desire, clearsighted shrewdness, empowering anger, and bold authority—that fuel creativity, assertiveness, desire, and personal power. It is the crucial energy and passion necessary for fueling one's true Self and facilitating personal growth. We achieve this by reclaiming and embracing these once-outlawed or neglected aspects of Self that transcend societal constraints. We are called to confront and integrate shadowy, fierce, and raw qualities. Through this transformative journey of acknowledgment and integration, the Vital Spark seeks to guide individuals toward a life marked by heightened consciousness, power, and agency, enriching their experiences with vibrancy and authenticity.  Prepare to discover: Who can embody the transformation from pleasing to authoritative, navigating generational conflicts and self-assertion. When it is crucial to confront and integrate shadow aspects of Self to reclaim power and agency in one's life. How to engage with and harness one's aggressive capacities for personal growth and authenticity.

For many women, intense caring and nurturing relationships cause their inner fire to dim, leaving them feeling they have lost themselves. Author and Jungian analyst Lisa Marchiano's new book is called The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire. Lisa wrote the book to help women “break free from the conditioning that has kept them confined to rigid roles and muffled the sound of their soul”. Andrew and Lisa discuss the eight qualities Lisa identifies in the book: shrewdness, disagreeableness, desire, trickiness, sexuality, anger, authority, and ruthlessness. They also cover the ways in which the ancient wisdom of fairy tales (such as The Frog Prince and Fitcher's Bird) can help women access these lost qualities and build a more complete, authentic self. Lisa Marchiano is an award-winning author, certified Jungian analyst, and the co-host of This Jungian Life podcast. Her highly-acclaimed books draw upon the healing wisdom of fairy tales to help women connect more deeply with themselves.

Interview begins @ 4:08 In episode 106 of "The Sacred Speaks" podcast, John and guest Lisa Marchiano dive into the complex realms of anger, manipulation, rage, and their inherent values for the feminine in our conversation as we discuss her book, The Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Feminine Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire. Our conversation starts with a focus on the feminine wisdom tradition, contrasting the masculine and feminine as psychological principles. These principles are hard to define precisely, and it's essential to clarify our terms to truly understand them. Lisa brings her clinical experience into the discussion, highlighting the subtle yet significant differences she observes in men and women, despite their underlying similarities. This episode explores the notion that, regardless of gender, we all have access to a spectrum of psychological attributes. Lisa illustrates how it might be easier for individuals to access certain aspects of these masculine or feminine poles, though we all possess the capacity for both. Within her book Lisa uses Lilith, a figure from early Jewish mystical lore, as an emblem of empowered women who challenge cultural and hierarchical norms. This discussion segues into Lisa's book-writing process, which she describes as a journey of self-discovery, particularly in the realm of claiming personal authority. We discuss the concepts of archetypes, developmental theories from Freud to Jung, and the role of archetypes in shaping our psychological expressions, family systems, and early environments. The episode further examines the use of fairy tales in Lisa's book as a means to illustrate these archetypal patterns and universal psychological themes. An intriguing aspect of our dialogue is the concept of the 'worthy opponent' and how gender polarities seek this dynamic in various relationships, be it professional, romantic, or otherwise. These relationships challenge us to express the fullest version of ourselves. We discuss the differences between men and women in sexual dynamics, the operation of these polarities, and the importance of mutuality in sexual relationships. Lastly, we touch upon the shadow aspect of the feminine, with Lisa providing insightful context and interpretations. This episode is a deep dive into understanding our inner selves and the psychological principles that shape our experiences and interactions.

For many midlife women, it is a rocky relationship that feels separated, disconnected, and discouraging. Embodiment and owning our sexuality is an invitation to dive into the separation and finally to explore why you may have been living from the neck up most of your life, and carrying around a body that may feel like unfeeling armor. Traumas, wounds, and life transitions may also be causing you to feel like your body has a mind of its own and you have zero control. As life changes, so will your body. This is an intense period of loss; loss of the body you once had, but also loss of the relationship to your body that now must change. Perhaps you are having an internal uprising, perhaps a vague sense of restlessness, or even a loud eruptive desire to break away, and an internal voice that demands, “There must be more than this body and this life!” Many women feel stressed, burnt out more often than not, chronic exhaustion, weight gain, and an inner voice that is desperately telling you that you and your body are not enough. Perhaps you are finding yourself at war not only with your body but with yourself.  My next guest Amanda Testa, wants you to stop feeling like an imposter in your own body, and your life, and she wants you to find that fire and ignite the flames inside of you so you can feel alive, embodied, tuned in and turned on.  In this podcast you will learn: Ancient, yet realistic tools to invite pleasure into your life today How to honor your voice and your body as you age Tips to embody, using your chakras and exploring the lower chakras as a journey to healing and awakening How to ignite the flames inside of you so you can feel alive Secrets to loving the skin you are in and finally feel at home in your body Amanda Testa, is a Sex, Love, and Relationship Expert + Trauma Resolution Guide who works with busy professional women and couples to feel incredible in their skin, tap into abundant energy, take sex from a "to do" to something they look forward to, and enjoy better connection and fulfillment in their relationships.  She's also a mama to a gorgeous 8 yo girl, wife to her sexy hubs, and the host of the Find Your Feminine Fire podcast.   Her methods bridge ancient tools combined with the latest in neuroscience and somatic healing to facilitate rapid and lasting transformation.

Is this a nagging question in the back of your brain? What are some tips for reconnecting with my partner? I feel like we're just co-existing. We're pretty sure we've all had that thought about our partners at one point or another. When did the spark did? Where the heck did it go? Is it me? Is it him? Why do I feel so bitter? I'm so burned out, I can't even begin to focus on an intimate relationship right now. Why won't everybody stop touching me?? After our Going Down To Pound Town Episode 3 we thought we should bring back guest Amanda Testa to dig deeper into how we can reignite our feminine fire, stop feeling so bad about ourselves, and maybe even learn to ask for what we really want in the bedroom. It is possible to turn back on the intimacy meter, and it's definitely possible to overcome resentment and miscommunication - but it does take work. Spoiler Alert: she has some amazing tips on how to make that happen. Join us for a raw (Tracey starts crying) and honest look at what it takes to keep a partnership alive and enjoy some super practical "mom hacks" (if you will) on how to re-up your communication with your spouse.

After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born. The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour and continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.

My guest Amanda Testa is an expert in sex and love. She is the founder of Find Your Feminine Fire, which is a program that combines concepts from neuroscience and tantra. Utilizing her coaching experience and knowledge in the field, she aims to empower women to be more confident and sexually expressive. As Amanda states during the episode, before she was a Sex, Love, and Embodiment coach, she worked in corporate sales. But after her daughter was born, Amanda decided it was best to stay home and take care of her. Despite the neverending busyness of motherhood, Amanda was given more time to pursue her passions in health and wellness. Eventually, she became a personal trainer and spearheaded Stroller Strides classes to help new mothers stay active and confident in their skin. This was the crucial beginning that would soon unlock the potential she saw in herself, and which she knew other women deserved to unlock as well. This whole process is beautifully outlined in this episode, and it is absolutely worth your time and attention. Sexuality As a Magical Key to Unlock Yourself After having been a mother eighteen months or so, Amanda started to resent herself and her own sexuality. A common occurrence for mother's, she was depressed, and was struggling with low self-esteem and that vicious cycle of negative perception. It was through sexuality that she found the empowering answers she was looking for: the magical key which unlocked that celebratory fire of femininity within her. Listen to hear her describe it in her own words! Defining Feminine Fire Amanda calls it a vibrancy, a radiance, energy that all women are born with. Sadly though, modern life always finds a way to distract women from tapping into that wellspring of femininity. Women are stifled, so busy with their everyday business, professional life, and intellectual growth, that for the most part, the fire is not stoked; it barely flickers. But Amanda wants to stress that this fire is not restricted to certain genders. This energy is within all human beings, but because she works mainly with women, her focus is largely on the feminine side of the fire. Interestingly though, Amanda discusses the sentiment of the Yin and Yang, and compares that to the feminine fire, stating that just like males have a percentage of the female Yang, so too do they have the feminine aspects of the “fire” within themselves. Much more is said about this during the episode. Really fascinating stuff! You won't want to miss it. Signs of Energy Imbalance || How to Fix Them Being burned out, overwhelmed, rage, aggression, not talking to your spouse, or a mixture of emotions that tend to dominate the disposition on a consistent basis are all signs that your fire is out of whack. There are ways to fix this imbalance though, as Amanda lays out in the episode. Reconnecting to your desires is one of the biggest steps towards rekindling your fire. Amanda suggests just sitting down and writing your desires out. It does not matter if your only desire in the entire world is to have a cup of coffee, as long as you are writing it down and conditioning your mind to start reconnecting with your desires, that is all that matters. She suggests that you force yourself to spend 10 minutes with this exercise on a consistent basis. You will be surprised at how tangibly your desires are fleshed out before you. Another step is to reconnect with your senses again. Amanda suggests being mindful and purposefully spending the time to pay attention and to be present. By engaging the senses, you can deepen the connection between you and your fire. She says to try it for yourself: the next time you are eating, pay attention to the taste, the sensations, and derive as much enjoyment as possible from the act. This can, of course, be applied to the bedroom as well. She goes into more detail in the episode. It is really great stuff that you won't want to miss! Fear Can Sit in the Backseat, But it Can't Drive the Car Amanda very importantly highlights the importance of acknowledging fears. It is so crucial to analyze a fear, let it have its say, but to not let it drive the car, so to speak. Being mindful of fear, just like reconnecting with senses through mindfulness, is a very powerful exercise. If we stifle fears, they drive our actions unconsciously. We want to be aware of them, but not let them win out. Giving Yourself Permission to Feel This is the fifth and final step in Amanda's process for finding your inner fire. Through it, Amanda wants to reinforce the concept that no feeling is off limits. Be open to any feeling, any reaction, any thought. You can't connect with your inner energy if you don't allow yourself to feel the whole spectrum of sensations and emotions that arise. She reminds us that our culture often only tells us that we are able to feel good emotions. And that is a terribly lopsided approach to experience life and develop as a person. We need both the good and the bad, so don't be afraid to feel them. Most Important Takeaway of the Episode Amanda reassures listeners that it is no wonder we struggle with unlocking our inner fire; we have never been taught. So that fact relieves a lot of our burden. We shouldn't feel guilty or behind in development. The good news is that these skills are learnable skills, and with enough practice are extremely doable. You just need to start small and transform your life from the inside out. As always, there is much more said during the episode, especially about how these concepts relate to sexuality on a deeper level. Please check it out to absorb all of Amanda's message.

Listen in as the Mindset Mentor Delora Guignion and I jam on - why does sexual energy matter for success? - how can our childhood messages cause us to self sabotage and what to do about it. - how can you practically use mindsex to help you move forward? - a fabulous exercise to go from "to do" to "to Done" - the power of the sensual selfie - and lots more! Not to be missed! Delora Guignion is a Mindsex Mentor who works with men and women, combining mindset and sexual energy work to create sizzle between the sheets, passion in their life AND profit in their business.  An increased business bottom line, open communication and declared desires are just a few of the "side effects" that happen when you understand, step into and channel your full sexual energy. Delora works closely with clients to have the sex life, business and life they truly desire. Once you've tapped into the power of your sexual energy, there are no areas off limits, no desires too big and no goals that can't be conquered. Three years ago, slowly dying in my 6 figure, cushy corporate, role, I realised that I had a passion that could transform lives.
