What if your desire isn't dangerous, but divine?In this deeply transformative episode, Emily sits down with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton, an intimacy coach, scholar, and founder of UNCOVER, to explore what it means to heal from purity culture and reclaim your body, your voice, and your power. Together, they unravel centuries of conditioning that taught women to equate goodness with obedience and holiness with self-denial, and invite listeners into a radical reframe: that pleasure is sacred, not selfish.Kimberly shares her personal story of deconstructing evangelical beliefs, walking away from a marriage that no longer fit, and rediscovering her aliveness through the practice of pleasure. Rooted in her academic background at Yale and her years of coaching women around the world, she blends intellect and embodiment in a way that feels both revolutionary and deeply human. From the theology of Mary Magdalene to the lived reality of womanhood today, she illuminates how pleasure becomes a path back to the divine, and how reclaiming it is one of the most powerful ways women can heal from religious trauma, shame, and repression.Emily and Kimberly dive into the hidden history of Mary Magdalene, a wealthy, powerful spiritual leader erased and rewritten as a sinner by the early Church, and what her true story reveals about the fear of feminine wisdom. They explore how purity culture and patriarchy sought to silence women's voices, sexual expression, and intuition, and why remembering the Magdalene lineage is an act of both spiritual and societal revolution.Whether you grew up in the church or simply absorbed the cultural messaging that your worth depends on being “good,” this conversation is an invitation to return to yourself. To soften the shame, to listen to your body, and to remember that your joy, your sensuality, and your truth are not something to hide, they're the very portals to your power, purpose, and divine connection.In this episode, we explore:How purity culture continues to shape women's bodies, relationships, and sense of worth, even outside organized religionWhy pleasure is sacred, not selfish, and how reconnecting with it helps women return to their powerThe connection between pleasure, spirituality, and embodiment, and why they were never meant to be separateThe hidden truth about Mary Magdalene, her role as a wealthy priestess, spiritual leader, and symbol of feminine wisdom erased by patriarchyWhat the Gospel of Mary reveals about women's direct access to the divine, and why her story was rewritten by the early ChurchHow patriarchy and purity culture weaponized holiness, shame, and obedience to control women's bodies and voicesPractical ways to begin reclaiming pleasure and power in everyday life, through beauty, embodiment, and self-trustThe ripple effect of women in their pleasure, how wholeness, joy, and desire create collective healing and transformationBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect & Work with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton:Harlots & Heretics — a three-part journey through the hidden, holy history of women labeled “dangerous,” guiding you to reclaim your own sacred power.
Therapy is meant to be a place of healing - but what happens when it causes harm instead?In this powerful episode, I'm joined by therapist, supervisor and trainer Erin Stevens, who specialises in working with people who have experienced harm in previous therapy. Together we explore how harm in therapy can happen - even when we have good intentions - and what we can do as therapists to reduce the risk, respond to rupture, and create safer therapeutic spaces.We talk about the role of power and boundaries, why cultural misattunement often goes unacknowledged, and how shame can block honest reflection in supervision. Erin also shares their own story of being harmed in therapy and what helped them come back to the profession with compassion and clarity.Whether you've ever worried you might be getting it wrong - or just want to understand this issue more deeply - this conversation is for you.Takeaways:What “harm in therapy” really means - and why it's so often missedHow boundary confusion and power imbalances can erode trustThe emotional labour of marginalised clientsWhy naming harm doesn't make you a bad therapistHow to use supervision as a place of growth, not shamePractical steps for making your practice safer and more accountableErin Stevens (she/they) is a therapist, supervisor, writer and trainer based in West Yorkshire.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Christina and guest Criss Moody continue exploring what it means to lead people, not just processes, through change.Picking up where Part 1 left off, this episode dives deeper into the human side of leadership: how emotions, empathy, and psychological safety influence whether change succeeds or falls apart.Criss shares insights from her research on the Bridges Transition Model and Kotter's Leading Change, emphasizing that transformation isn't just about strategy or structure, it's about connection. When leaders take time to earn trust, validate emotions, and communicate the “why” behind every shift, they cultivate lasting buy-in and resilience across their teams.We unpack what it looks like to navigate resistance, build environments where people feel safe to speak up, and use empathy as a leadership superpower, not a weakness.In this episode:Why psychological safety is the foundation for effective changeHow empathy strengthens communication and trustThe difference between addressing emotions and being ruled by themThe unique challenges military leaders face when leading changeHow to leverage emotional intelligence and structure together for lasting impactCriss also shares how women can embrace their natural strengths, empathy, collaboration, and emotional awareness, as superpowers that elevate modern leadership.Whether you're leading through policy shifts, organizational restructuring, or culture change, this episode will remind you that the most effective leadership begins with heart.RESOURCES:Kotter, J.

Send us a textThe wounds of emotional abuse aren't always visible. Survivors often carry scars that the outside world can't see—feelings of isolation, anxiety, self-doubt, and the deep loss of identity. These are the hidden costs of emotional abuse, and they are just as damaging as physical violence.In this final episode of the Domestic Violence Awareness Month series, Allison K. Dagney—survivor, author, and subconscious reprogramming expert—shines a light on the long-term impacts of abuse that often go unnoticed.You'll learn:How isolation keeps survivors trapped and silentWhy the silent treatment and stonewalling leave lasting emotional woundsHow projection and blame-shifting destroy self-trustThe toll abuse takes on your mental health and nervous systemSteps to begin reclaiming your sense of self and reconnecting with your worthThis conversation will help you understand the invisible aftermath of emotional abuse, validate what you've been through, and remind you: you are not broken—you were abused.
Send us a textThe outer world keeps changing—new cities, new housemates, even a pile of clutter beside your pillow—and yet peace remains available in every breath. In this Wisdom Dialogues episode, we step into a Sedona season of daily practice and non-dual exploration, where spiritual concepts are tested in real-life scenarios: sleeping next to a messy workspace, navigating old food beliefs, feeling heartbreak ripple through the nervous system, and living alongside a neighbor convinced he's fighting demons.The invitation is simple and radical: nothing outside you is the cause of anything. Thoughts that disturb peace are the only obstacles—and they dissolve through awareness, humor, and a willingness to feel.Over seven weeks of transformational bridging, we explore:Taking life less personallyWatching lack evaporate and abundance reveal itselfMoving from “dry and frugal” conditioning into a juicy embrace of presenceHealth as devotion to awareness—not rulesHigh-fat foods, fascia release, and compression as tools, not idolsReleasing the pride–shame loop in favor of gentleness and receptivityWe reframe agreements, calendars, and productivity as peripherals already handled when we listen to Spirit. Even heartbreak and demon narratives get rewritten. Fear is projection. Love is the ground.Food becomes a playful practice—not moral, not controlled—just guided by peace in the moment. Coffee headaches, fried snacks, and anti-aging lasers reveal how the mind gives power to belief. Withdraw the belief, return causality to mind, and joy returns to the simplest bite.We also explore key ACIM principles, including:“You need do nothing” as an active state of trustThe integrity of Spirit guiding relationshipsHow joining in love shifts the entire perceptual fieldCome for Sedona stories.

In today's episode, we unpack the loaded topic of “trigger foods” and how to navigate permission-based eating without shame or guilt.

Curious about the hidden dangers of relying too heavily on AI in your law firm?Brian Glass, author of Renegade Lawyer Marketing, discusses the risks of overreliance on AI in law firms and why human relationships continue to be the primary driver of profit.Brian believes a law firm should be more than a place that handles claims. It should be a business where people thrive. For his team, that means setting ambitious one-year and ten-year goals, receiving coaching to achieve them, and living exciting, fulfilling lives outside the office. For clients, it means best-in-class service, meticulous attention to detail, and over 260 five-star Google reviews to prove it.This approach yields two powerful results: increased referrals from former clients, lawyers, and medical providers, and a firm culture driven by individuals pursuing ambitious goals. As Brian puts it, when your team thrives, your clients win, and so do you.What You'll Learn:Why AI lead gen ads are destroying client trustThe one non-digital ad that brought in massive ROIHow lawyers are misusing ChatGPT (and getting sanctioned for it)Why your best clients are "lurkers" who consume 10+ hours of contentWhat Brian did to get 25 new clients from 15 lunches and mailersFollow Brian & Great Legal Marketing:Website - https://www.greatlegalmarketing.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fairfaxpersonalinjury/Get GLM Journal here - https://www.greatlegalmarketing.com/glm-journal-special-offerResources:Connect with IanDownload a Tackle Box!Supercharge your marketing and grow your business with video case stories today!Book a Discovery Call Today with Our ExpertsSubscribe to the YouTube Channel Hosted on Acast.
