Send us a textImagine growing up in a trailer, part of a right-wing religious cult, experiencing ongoing sexual abuse from age 6 to 17. This was Veronica's reality. But her story doesn't end there. After escaping her abusive home, Veronica embarked on a remarkable journey of transformation. She turned to sex work not out of desperation, but as a conscious choice to reclaim her sexuality and heal her trauma. Her journey led her to discover Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful tool that allowed her to understand and integrate the different parts of herself shaped by her experiences.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSThe magic of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy: Meet your inner managers, firefighters, and exilesSex work: From stigma to empowermentBreaking those pesky generational cyclesVeronica's victorious journey from abuse to advocacyWhy sex work can be a surprising path to healing (yes, really!)Communication game-changers: "Perfect timeout" and "Show Me Your Movie"The secret to forgiving the unforgivableEPISODE LINKS *some links below may also be affiliate links Veronica | Free GiftVeronica | Website Book | You're the One You've Been Waiting For by Richard SchwartzTHE VAGINAL ORGASM MASTERCLASS.

In part 2 of this interview, ZofiaRennea Morales and Veronica Monet continue their conversation about healing from spiritual abuse and addiction. They explore the importance of reclaiming your power, setting boundaries, and learning to trust yourself again. They also discuss the role of spirituality in recovery and how you can use it to find a path to peace and healing.

In part 1 of this 2 part interview, ZofiaRennea Morales talks with Veronica Monet, a spiritual teacher and healer who experienced a childhood of spiritual abuse and the addictions she used to cover up her trauma for years. They discuss the challenges of healing from these traumas, the importance of finding a safe and supportive community, and the tools and resources that can help on the journey to recovery.

In order to heal our minds and spirits, we must contact - and welcome home - all the exiled parts of ourselves. Veronica Monet shares how IFS can help.

Veronica Monet grew up in a repressive and abusive cult, developed and recovered from severe addiction, toiled in the corporate world, and worked as a high-end escort for 15 years. She now helps people overcome trauma and heal from shame and advocates for sexual liberation and the rights of sex workers.

I welcome Veronica Monet to Ready for Love radio. We will talk about her background, how she got into coaching and much more. Our discussion focuses on the needs of both partners, what the male and female within the relationship need and want and how to go about communicating and attaining those things within the relationship. We will also share a “sensate focus” lovework (homework) project at the end that originated with Masters & Johnson. (The sex researchers that you may have heard about… ) Check below for more information about our interview.

The Women Waken podcast has consisted so far of interview style episodes (65 to be exact!) in an effort to bring to light the remarkable work that so many brilliant healers and lightworkers are doing. This time, I'm mixing it up a little and having a guest return to go deeper into a particular topic related to their work. The first of many more to come in this and other engaging styles, and of course there will still be plenty more interview episodes! Thank you for checking it out, I hope you'll continue to join me on this podcasting journey!The purpose of branching off into these new formats is that I believe there is great importance in speaking about the things that are impacting society and the lives of many of its citizens. To have conversations around controversial topics to allow truthful and honest explorations of what is being observed, how it's affecting others, and what might be done to address the concern. To kick off these exploratory episodes I have the legendary, Veronica Monet, to discuss Narcissism. Narcissism is a sensitive topic right now as it has become a term that is frequently thrown around and launched at others in an accusatory fashion. However, it can be an appropriate concern for those in romantic or work relationships or friendships that seem to have become unhealthy, controlling, and potentially dangerous. It is also a topic of discussion in psychology and mental health circles as professionals in the field discuss whether personality disorders, such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder, should remain as a formal diagnosis in the DSM. So what is Narcissism? When is it seen as a personality disorder versus a character trait? Is it something developed over time? Are some people born with it? Many questions and conversations revolve around the topic so Veronica and I decided to reunite on the show and have an episode dedicated to Narcissistic Abuse.We start our discussion with Veronica sharing about her recent certification as an Internal Family Systems Informed (IFS) Relationship Coach and how IFS helps to shed light on the trait of narcissism and how it can be addressed in a healthy and compassionate way. We then move into an expansive conversation around narcism; how to identify the different types, what narcissistic abuse looks like, and how to heal from that abuse whether it happened in childhood or as an adult.* CHECK OUT Veronica's first interview on the podcast here! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sacred-sex-work-with-veronica-monet/id1580972247?i=1000539139237*Veronica Monet is on a mission to empower and elevate others in their most intimate relationships, including their connection to self.

TW: Sexual Assault & R*pe Our guest today has an incredible and remarkable story. From home school to college, from psychology and business degrees to marketing and office management, from drug and alcohol addictions to sobriety and work as a high end escort, and now as a therapist, relationship coach and certified sexologist, her life experience has taught her one thing above all…there is no need for a life filled with shame.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality Deadly ammosexual shootings—from both police and civilians—continue to shatter America, but it's almost Masturbation Month, so just shoot the gun between your legs! Seriously, You DO You. So much safer and more fun for all! Need inspiration? Hop aboard another bonoboësque joy ride on the Love Train as we celebrate “guilty” verdicts for that sadistic murderer with a *jealous cuck* knee. Unfortunately, Chauvin's unchecked sadism isn't rare in America's racist, ruthless policing system, where a police academy instructor can tell cadets that a “perk” of being a cop is that after killing a “bad guy,” you're likely to have “the best sex” ever. As a #sexologist, I'm all for folks using quirky things as aphrodisiacs—but not killing someone! We also talk about Montana Governor Greg Gianforte's pro-Kill bill; U.S. out of Afghanistan (Masturbation Not Occupation!); Armenian Genocide survivor and fellow Bohemian Yalie, Col. Jirayr Zorthian, and the Dance of Zorbacchus; NYC DA Cyrus Vance, Jr. (another Eli) will no longer prosecute sex workers… sort of (thanks for the tip, Veronica Monet); Caitlin Jenner's Cali Governor candidacy explodes like a “gender reveal” party bomb; more fun details in the ongoing story of the LAPD's unwarranted "raid" on the Speakeasy (in 2001) for which we won a settlement; the "Orgasmic Meditation" (OM) situation at "One Taste"; The Supremes to hear arguments about the “F” word (F*ck Censorship!); and more! And we get ready for the Merry Masturbation Month of May 2021 with our sensational sapiosexual post-show throwback, “Collegiate Masturbation Month 2017,” featuring UCLA Satyr Magazine Editor-in-Chief Sarah Crosthwaite, Satyr writers Rachael Frank and George Gutten, “Most Bonobo” Suzy Award-winning porn star Riley Reyes—who gives a special M Month Hitachi Magic Wand demo—plus Riley's GF Amelia Jones—who also happens to be a sophomore at UCLA (Go Bruins!), Suzy Award-winning “Most Bonobo Couple” Danièle Watts & Rawkstar Chef Be*Live, trump surrogate Cali Cuck (whom we spank for having the worst First 100 Days ever), Aaliyah Corsets, Ikkor the Wolf and my beautiful assistant Gypsy Bonobo.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality It's our 13th ride on the F.D.R. Love Train, now roaring through a Tunnel of Darkness as we react, mourn, explore and analyze the horrific mass murder of eight people in the “Spa Shootings” that started in the little village of Acworth, Georgia and spread through Atlanta. Was it a “Hate Crime” against sex workers as well as Asian-American women? What is “sex addiction,” and why did the self-confessed mass murderer, Robert Aaron Long, use that long-debunked term to explain what Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office so infuriatingly called a “really bad day for him”? Who are the victims who actually HAD a “really bad day,” and how can we honor their loss with love? Xiaojie Tan, Hyun Jung Grant, Daoyou Feng, Soon Chung Park, Suncha Kim, Yong Ae Yue, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Paul Andre Michels are the names of the dead. Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz was critically injured. The Georgia Massage Parlor Massacre appears to have been a terrible *perfect storm* of three converging toxic factors: 1) Religious sexual abuse; in this case, a devoutly Evangelical, erotophobic cult of “purity” fostered by the killer's family, church (Crabapple First Baptist) and treatment centers (HopeQuest and Maverick) operating almost like a terrorist “cell,” 2) The Sex Addictionology racket; “sex addiction” being a bogus diagnosis (not accepted in the DSM-5), yet an extremely popular accusation AND excuse for unconventional or just bad behavior, as well as the Religious Right's current term of shame for old-time “sin”; and 3) Guns; easy availability (no waiting period) and, while most erotic activities and even sexual thoughts are denigrated, a “fetish” for firearms is elevated, thereby creating a lethal “ammosexual” desire to fire phallic weaponry, instead of just “shooting” the “gun” between your legs safely and consensually. We also discuss the Armie Hammer “cannibalism” story's development into a full-on LAPD rape investigation; Biden's threatening war of “killer” claims with Putin; how proud we are that America is finally #1 in the world regarding something good (vaccinations!), but that we still need to mask up (and make it sexy!). We also talk with Elvis tribute artist Smokey Binion, Jr. (calling in from a small Texas panhandle town that's almost as Christian-conservative a community as Acworth) who longs to “shake a leg” (which leg?) in Bonoboville, and we enjoy a few eargasms and jokes (laughter is a mental orgasm). But our focus is primarily on the tragic and appalling Massage Parlor Massacre, and the best antidote to the mounting madness is following the Bonobo Way of sex-positivity, female empowerment, male well-being and peace through pleasure. That's not artificial consumerist pleasure, but real organic healing pleasure. Post-show, we play a very relevant 2012 throwback, “From ‘The Myth of Sex Addiction' to a Sex Addict Orgy,” featuring The Myth of Sex Addiction author Dr. David Ley. We also thank some of our comrades, including Goddess Soma Snakeoil, Veronica Monet and the wonderful folks at DomCon and Sanctuary, for their uplifting activism in sex work and the sex-positive community during these troubled times. Let's decriminalize and destigmatize consenting adult sex work now!

Veronica Monet – The Surprising Truth About “Sex Trafficking”How Our “Myth-Perceptions” May Be Leading Us Down the Wrong TrackAired Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with Sexologist, Coach and Author Veronica Monet“You people who insist on shaming people because of their sexual practices – you should be ashamed of yourselves!” — Swami BeyondanandaSex trafficking – everyone agrees it’s bad, right?Well, that depends on what you imagine “sex trafficking” to mean. If the term conjures up innocent women and children being sold into a life of sexual exploitation and slavery, then we all should be against it. But what if “sex trafficking” actually applies to ANY sex for money, with mutual consent?Our guest on Wiki Politiki, Veronica Monet, is a one-time sex worker who is now a “sexual empowerment change agent” whose website, “The Shame Free Zone” offers “a safe place to explore feelings of shame without being judged.” As someone who sees her own career as a highly paid escort as an expression of self-empowerment, she has a unique and enlightening perspective on how what we imagine “sex trafficking” to be has created more repression, confusion and shame – and doesn’t really address where sexual abuse (and pedophilia) originate: inside the family structure.Having grown up in a right-wing Christian cult, herself an incest and rape survivor, Veronica brings a rich history and perspective to the highly-politicized and highly-charged issues that involve all aspects of sexuality. Veronica Monet has appeared on CNN, FOX, Politically Incorrect, and presented at Yale, Stanford and UC Berkeley. She is the author of Sex Secrets of Escorts and the soon to be published Love, Lust and Romance in the Wake of #MeToo, and she is creator of the Exquisite Partnership Formula, a program designed to turn conflict into connection and sex that gets better with each passing year.Regarding her own choice to become a sex worker, Veronica writes:I didn’t enter into becoming a high-end escort lightly. As a college graduate who spent seven years working in corporate settings, and as someone who had been clean and sober for a number of years, I questioned whether this was in integrity with my spiritual path. Rather than refer to conventional thinking on the matter, I turned to my innermost knowing and quite frankly prayed my ass off. As well, a great deal of research and training went into my decision and because of this deliberate planning I enjoyed a very successful fourteen years in the profession.If you’re curious about how an intelligent and spiritually-aware woman chose to become a sex worker, and are ready to explore how the public is being manipulated and misled by both religious and secular institutions, please join us this Tuesday, March 10th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/To find out more about Veronica Monet please go here: https://theshamefreezone.com/about-veronica/Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In the “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

There is A LOT of great material about sex in this podcast, way too much to write down in this summery. I had to stop myself asking questions after 45 min, but I could have gone on for hours:)  Please listen to the whole episode for deep, insightful and provocative input about sexuality and intimacy.    A few of the topics you’ll get enlightened about:  When the doctors say there’s nothing wrong with you, but you still aren’t able to or don’t want to have sex The “Sexual Ghetto” we create around our own sexuality Why sex is natural and how even in the womb, we experience pleasure, masturbation, and orgasm. The shame we carry around about our own sexuality How our genitals don’t lie Why sex and intimacy end up at the bottom of our priority list. How couples can keep their sex alive and not settle for scraps When one partner in a couple wants sex every single day or else … Why sex is highly relevant for everyone, even if you don’t have a sexual partner Why we often talk ourselves out of sex How we rationalize settling for very little when it comes to sex and intimacy The relationship between sexual intimacy and emotional intimacy … which is more important? Porn: The use of porn, the effects of porn, “good porn and bad porn”, and how high-speed internet porn can can hurt men’s ability to have erections and orgasm. (Veronica is a fabulous coach around porn. She truly has no judgments about it. She herself was part of the sex industry for many years). How our “pornofied" culture has removed us from basic truths about sexuality in general, and female sexual responses in particular. The spiritual, divine side of sexuality. Why we see more sexually addictive behavior in men The 5 steps to say powerfully No (From Veronica’s new book, How To Say Your No: Five Simple Steps to Heal the Heart and Soul of Your Relationship) How we try to perform sex instead of having sexual intimacy MeToo and a new standard for consent MORE ABOUT VERONICA MONET: Veronica Monet, ACS is an internationally acclaimed sexual and spiritual empowerment change agent.

Aired Tuesday, 10 April 2018, 5:00 PM ESTGuns and the Right to Bear Arms – Beyond Victims and VillainsA Conversation with Progressive Gun-Owner Veronica Monet“Every child should learn the appropriate use of arms — for hugging.” — Swami BeyondanandaThe problem with “hot button” issues like gun control / 2nd Amendment rights is that they are “hot” — lots of heat, not nearly enough light. From the meta-view, they keep the culture wars alive, and this war prevents “we the people” from uniting around the larger issues of governance, what my friend and associate Joseph McCormick calls “who’s in charge of who’s in charge”.So it may be that the Parkland students’ movement, while seeking to address the problem at a higher level, could easily be diverted into positionality that avoids the real problem. This week’s guest, self-described progressive and gun-owner Veronica Monet takes us deeper into the conversation: Why IS the school-shooting problem so indigenous to the USA? How do we protect the rights of individual citizens, and minimize harm to everyone else? Which weapons should be legal and which should not? How do we prevent these tragedies, and how much of that has to do with gun control legislation?You may remember Veronica from our previous interview a few months ago on the #METOO movement, citing her own experience as a rape survivor, sex therapist and counselor. In this interview, she contrasts her revulsion at her father’s obsession with guns with her own experience — having them as handy protectors as she lived in the woods alone for eight years.If you’re ready for common sense and uncommon wisdom on a complex and divisive issue, tune in this Tuesday, April 10th at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.How you can support Wiki PolitikiJoin the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/ Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

Aired Tuesday, 12 December 2017, 5:00 PM ESTEXPLOITATION AND SEXPLOITATION: Beyond Shame and Blame, Victims and VillainsA Conversation With Relationship Specialist, Sexologist and Empathy Expert Veronica MonetWhy is it that so many self-righteous males who claim to be following the Big Guy Upstairs are really following the little guy downstairs? — Swami BeyondanandaIt started with Harvey Weinstein… and has now turned Al Franken into Frankenstein.Over the past month, more and more men in high places have been accused of inappropriately touching women in private places. This obviously has been going on for centuries, so why is it coming to the surface now? Is this backlash against the groper-in-chief currently in the White House? Is this the new Inquisition against abusive male power? Will it lead to more retribution, or will there be a breakthrough?This week on Wiki Politiki we interview Veronica Monet, a one-time sex worker who now offers perspective and wisdom through her platform, The Shame-Free Zone. A wise woman who has earned her wisdom through experience, Veronica will take us beyond the shame (psychiatrist James Gilligan says that shame “is the primary or ultimate cause of all violence, whether toward others or toward the self”) to a deeper awareness of how we got to this point, and ways we can heal.So many awakened people I’ve spoken with have been having mixed feelings about the shame-fest / blame-fest that has been fueled by the #METOO movement. On one hand, obviously those who’ve used the privilege of power to exploit and hurt women (or other men) need to be called out, and this behavior must stop. On the other hand, there has been an orgy of blame and retribution that like so many media-fueled campaigns create more heat than light. Ironically, progressive icons like Al Franken and Garrison Keillor have been toppled, while Emperor Copious Gropius and his sidekick Roy Moore remain unmoved.So, how DO we turn the heat down and the light up? What are the lessons learned, and what is the new field we establish? How do we relate male exploitation of the feminine to the “rape” and violation of Mother Earth? How do we transform shame into something more generative?Tune in this Tuesday to discover how we shift the “scared” masculine and feminine into sacred dance partners.
