The Pleasurehood Podcast - I Honor My Body Meditation

I Honor My Body Meditation

The Pleasurehood Podcast

03/16/22 • 18 min

In this week’s episode, I’ll be leading you through a meditation that literally transformed how I relate to my body.

The meditation I’m going to share with you is so powerful. When you practice honoring your body for everything it is, and everything it isn’t, you begin to build a real and authentic relationship with your body. You realize your body doesn’t have to be perfect in order for you to feel at home in your skin. You realize your body doesn’t have to be a certain weight in order for you to feel sexy. You realize that you get to feel yummy & luscious in your body right now, in this moment, the way that it is. I’m so excited to share this meditation with you. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest.

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Motherhood - An Invitation to Your Souls' Work
play

02/28/22 • 15 min

The motherhood journey looks different for everyone and is much more complex than what we give it. It is an initiation and a sacred portal into your wholeness.

What do I mean by that?

It means you are invited to be more of your authentic self, an embodied expression of who you truly are. It will ask you to touch parts of yourself that you haven’t seen in a while or have never seen at all. It requests you to go to the depths of your fear, the depths of your hurt, the depths of your longing, the depths of your desires, the depths of your heart, the depths of your ability to love, and the depths of your humanity.

In this episode, we'll explore what it means for motherhood to be an invitation to your soul's work, and how it can create a path to a deep awakening.

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Pleasure As Your Birthright, with Nikka Karli
play

03/29/22 • 60 min

This week’s episode is a very special interview with my dear friend Nikka Karli. Nikka is an Erotic Muse, Writer, Medicine Walker, Multidisciplinary Storyteller, Body Poet, Moon Stalker, Ceremonial Activist + Abolitionist, and Yoga Teacher. She has over 20 years of experience coaching in the fields of yoga, fitness, mindset, strength and conditioning, rehabilitation, wellness, creativity, and leadership, and has dedicated the last few years to the liberation work of dismantling and decolonizing the intersection of systemic sexualized and racialized trauma in the bodies of Creators of Color.

Nikka is devoted to helping raise the vibration of Universal consciousness and assisting in mending the hoop of the world’s many peoples through her writing, speaking, private mentoring, online programs and intensives, and retreats. She is the go-to mentor for multidimensional messengers, creators, activists, and healers who are ready to create epic fulfillment, impact, mastery, and freedom through the primordial ecstasy of their erotic soul. I mean, can you see why I wanted to have her on this podcast?

Nikka and I go deep in this conversation, we truly hold nothing back. During our conversation we talk about: The importance of rewilding oneself as a mother, and the wild nature of being a mother, carrying, birthing, and bonding with a baby, and raising the baby to be a sovereign being. The importance of rewilding oneself in the human experience. Practicing pleasure during a crisis. Pleasure as a birthright, you don’t have to do a damn thing to receive & experience pleasure. You get to experience pleasure whenever and however you choose. Decolonizing sex, decolonizing the sacred, and decolonizing pussy as a direct portal to our sexual expression and also our divine selves. Sacred initiation of birthing, whether it is a creative project, an actual child, a desire, a vision. And so much more! I can’t wait for you to listen to this beautiful and potent conversation!

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Motherhood: A Reclamation, with Mina Aidoo
play

09/26/22 • 59 min

In this episode, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with the amazing Mina Aidoo.

I titled this episode Motherhood, a Reclamation because motherhood gets to be an experience of our own making. We get to shape and mold motherhood in our own image, one that leaves us feeling deeply connected to ourselves, our bodies, and our families.

During our conversation Mina and I explore:

  • What happens when you don’t have the capacity for sex as a parent, and how to co-create a sexual relationship with your partner.
  • The importance of trauma resolution & nervous system healing, being able to co-regulate with your child, and having emotional awareness of what’s happening inside of the body when your child is acting out.
  • Why giving sensations & emotions in your body language can be transformative. How to practice putting yourself first, even when you feel dysregulated, numb, or burned out.
  • The grief of becoming a mother, and releasing expectations of what your motherhood was supposed to look like.

Mina is currently teaching Women & Femmes how to access the hidden power of their bodies so that they can heal trauma, reconnect to their sexuality & sensuality, reclaim their wildest desires and fully step into their pleasure and purpose. She offers 1-1 Sessions, Groups and workshops.

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Body Love Series Episode 4: You Are The Ritual
play

07/04/23 • 33 min

What is your self love language?

I believe it begins with making choices that are in alignment with who you are and building trust with yourself.
We must be full in ourselves in order to find the love we desire, and by getting to know our inner selves deeply we can begin this process of cultivating self-love.

Easier said than done, right?

Realistically, living in self love can be as simple as embracing mundane moments and allowing yourself to become something new. It looks like loving yourself even when you feel stuck or messy. In truth, every small and simple action can be a ritual in itself.

In this episode, I invite you to explore your own self-love language, whether that be yoga, lighting candles, praying or meditating, or any other everyday activity that you allow yourself to relish in. Ultimately it is about letting your inner self know that you are listening to it.

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Body Love Series Episode 3: Cultivating Safety in the Body
play

06/20/23 • 31 min

Do you know how to create safety and cultivate it in the body?
Society often intellectualizes safety, while neglecting the importance of feeling safe first in the body. Feeling safe in the body involves physical, emotional, and energetic experiences of safety. And you get to define what that means to you.
In this episode of the Body Love Series, I share my personal experiences of feeling safe and practicing hypervigilance, particularly in new environments. We get to reflect on the importance of setting boundaries, knowing when and how to communicate boundaries, and prioritizing one's well-being even if it means disappointing others.

No is a complete sentence, being in the right relationship with yourself will allow your inner wisdom to lead the way.

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Deeply Connecting to Pleasure and Power
play

02/07/23 • 23 min

Pleasure is an expression of my power. Pleasure is the language that gets me back in touch with what I really want and need, so when I make time for pleasure it comes from a place of power within me. It's no coincidence that when we are feeling good, we feel powerful too!

In this episode of the Pleasurehood Podcast we’ll explore what it means to be deeply connected to your pleasure & power, and how these two energies can not only transform your outer life, but your inner one as well.

Pleasure is the gateway to your power, and when you allow yourself to fully take it in and explore what feels good for you, that’s when you can tap into your deepest source of power.

The Pleasurehood Podcast - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

01/23/23 • 21 min

The truth is that parenting in this day and age isn't easy. We're all feeling the pressure of the post-pandemic world, trying to figure out how to stay afloat while managing all the things life throws at us. It can be overwhelming and exhausting, but know you are not alone in this struggle.

But we can also use this opportunity to create something better for ourselves. A way of living that helps foster connection and community, one that allows us to take a step back and look at the bigger picture while still managing our everyday lives. We can do this by taking time to check in with ourselves and prioritize self-care, as well as engaging with our communities and actively looking for ways to support one another.

Let's use this time of transformation as an invitation to rebuild, create something new, and move into a better era of parenting with purpose.

This season of the Pleasurehood Podcast will have us diving deep into the hard and sometimes uncomfortable conversations that we may have been avoiding. We are going to be looking at it from our individual perspectives while also exploring how the collective experience can be different. I'm so excited to share these conversations with each other, learning and growing together as a unique community. It is my desire that this season will show us how much we all have to gain by having these honest discussions, leading us to greater understanding, healing and transformation in our lives.

I invite you to join the conversation, whether it’s in the comments below, via social media, newsletter, or email. I want to hear from you!

I coined the word Pleasurehood when I knew there was more to this mothering thing than burnout and self-sacrifice. When I decided that practicing pleasure was the only way I was going to survive all the fears that motherhood brought along with it. It was the belief that filling my own cup was going to enrich and enliven not only myself but also my husband and my son. This episode is the prelude. Setting the tone for what's to come. I look forward to walking this path with you and exploring what it means to create pleasurable motherhood that is for us, by us.
