Do you ever wish you could ‘let go’ during sex and really enjoy yourself? Feel relaxed around sex? Do you want it to be fun, adventurous or more playful? Want more pleasure?

In today’s episode I want to share what it is that’s helped me on my journey to becoming a sexually empowered and liberated woman. 

I did not start my journey with sex feeling confident, empowered or sexually free. I was actually incredibly shy around sex.

I enjoyed sex, but I felt guilty about it for a long time. And I was too embarrassed to ask for what I wanted in bed.  I would hear my friends talk about how incredible sex was - or the things that they’d tried as I felt like I was missing out. I just felt like I was holding myself back.

In discovering my sexual freedom, I’ve learned to feel at home in my body. I’m more connected to my intuition. I feel more pleasure and flow in my entire life. My relationships are deeper, there’s an incredible intimacy in them now. Sex is more enjoyable than I imagined it could be. And I feel radiantly alive, sexy and confident -  on a daily basis. 

So, how do we get there? Well, having coached women for over 10 years, I can tell you it’s different for all of us, but we’ll start today with:

• Getting out of your head + in to your body
• Making your pleasure a priority - in life and in the bedroom
• Shining a light on your inner sexual beliefs + break free
• Getting real sex education + pleasure education
• Learn to say no - so you can also say “hell yes!”
• Explore and practice

Becoming a sexually liberated woman is a journey well worth taking. I encourage you to take the first step.

One of the most important relationships we have (besides the one we have with ourselves) is with our partner.  But life gets busy, we work so hard, we get stuck in a routine and, so often, we let our relationships fall into neglect. How do we get back in touch with ourselves - our wants, desires and our own sensuality - and reconnect with our partner?

Speaking with Intuitive Guide and Sacred Circle Holder, Mitle Southey on her Spirited Sisters Podcast, we take a deep dive into:

• self worth and connecting with your sensual female energy
• sexual and emotional intimacy
• what ‘sensually embodied’ and ‘erotically empowered’ mean
• connecting with your partner outside of the bedroom
• the role of a sexologist
• how a sexologist works with women and couples
• how to communicate your needs to your partner
• when to seek support and help; and
• I guide you through a short exercise to become present and connect with your body.

As a woman, know that you can learn to draw on your divine feminine energy, expand your potential for pleasure and create the life and relationships you want.

When my clients come to me experiencing painful sex, they often tell me they feel embarrassed and ashamed and like they can’t talk to anyone about it. I’m passionate about changing that.

Challenges with sex or our genitals shouldn’t be treated any different to a challenge with any other part of our body. It’s biology - it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. 

Incredibly, painful sex effects up to 20% of us women at some point in our lives and, just to put that in perspective, that means it’s more common than asthma, cancer and heart disease! 

It impacts our enjoyment of sex, can dramatically reduce our sexual desire and can place strain on our relationships - or lead women to avoid relationships completely.

If you are experiencing sexual pain at the moment you might be feeling: frustrated, guilty, confused, upset embarrassed or all of the above. 

It may be impacting your self confidence and even your daily functioning.

So, I want to assure you that you’re not alone. 

Painful sex doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. And it doesn’t have to mean the end of your relationship.

And, although what exactly is causing painful sex can often be difficult to diagnose, there is always a reason and usually treatments that can be found.  There are also caring, understanding and qualified professionals that can help you through the process.

In this podcast I’m talking about:

• The names that you might have heard painful sex called and what exactly they all mean
• The different types of pain that you may be experiencing
• What causes sex to be painful?

And of course

• How we can treat it -  my recommendations for your diagnosis and treatment journey

Over the past 10 years, I’ve helped many through the process of diagnosing and treating sexual pain, giving them emotional support, helping them ease the burden on their relationship and re-introduce sex when the time is right. 

While I hope you find this episode helpful, it doesn’t replace a detailed consultation with a medical professional or therapist. 

Head over to my blog page for more advice and resources on painful sex and please reach out and get support from a professional. You really don’t need to go through this alone.  

I’m sending you all my love, blessings and good luck to you in this journey. 

If you found this episode helpful, I’d love for you would head over to iTunes and leave me a rating for this podcast. It will help me reach other women who might need support or encouragement around sex, love and intimacy too.

Thanks so much for listening beautiful. 

I recently had a wonderful conversation with the lovely Sarah McGahan on The Truth Podcast.   

I believe giving ourselves permission to feel pleasure is so important. Take a listen as Sarah and I chat openly about Pleasure, Intimacy + Desire as we touch on:

• the dichotomy that exists between the ‘good woman’ and women who are seen as overly sexual
• the connection between shame and sexual desire and how to manage it so we feel sexually empowered
• Getting out of your head and coming back into your body to experience increased pleasure
• making intimacy a priority
• the importance of foreplay
• how to recreate a spark between a couple who are experiencing a decline in their sexual desire for one another
• my advice to women who struggle with pleasure or reaching orgasm 
• why stress is both bad and good for our sex life
• allowing and embracing sexual energy as life-force
• learning to listen to the subtle nuances, reactions and emotions in our body to distinguish between intuition and fear.

We also talk about what it takes to show up every day in your truth and be vulnerable.

I hope you embrace the practical tools we share to enhance your experience of powerful intimacy, loving sex, more pleasure ad meaningful connections.

I’d love to hear what resonates most with you so please feel free or leave me a comment or connect with me on Insta.

I believe in showing up honesty and authenticity. I believe in having REAL, OPEN conversations about sex, love and intimacy.  So, I want to share some of my reflections and how I’m dealing with my own relationship break up.

Here’s the thing that I notice most - when our relationship ends - for whatever reason -  there’s a sense of shame and a sense of failure.

I hear the mean girl in my head saying things like ‘why couldn’t I make it work’. I’ve ‘FAILED’. And - the big one for me, ‘who would want to see me as a Couples Therapist when my own relationship has just ended?’

I feel some FEAR too – fear that I’ve ‘wasted my time’, it’s too late for me, I’ll NEVER find someone I’m compatible with again.

I’ve blamed myself and I’ve blamed my previous partners.  But I'm not doing that this time. And I don’t think anyone else should either. 

In this episode I share some raw and real reflections (and sorry, you'll hear me get a little teary about 20 minutes in - but don't worry I'm okay):

• Should relationships try and stay together not matter what?
• How do you know what's the right decision for you?
• What to do with those feelings of shame, fear and blame
• Is there a way to walk away a better, stronger person? 

If you’re going through or have been through a break up lately, you’re definitely not alone. Take a listen as I share my Survival Guide (of sorts) - the top 10 things that I turn to for support after a break up and that are supporting my clients too.  

What I can promise you is that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Things will get better - and you can find happiness again.  I’m sending all my love and thoughts to any of you going through the transition.  

Wherever you’re at right now:

- Whether it be in a relationship and you’re contemplating leaving, 

- right in the middle of a break up 

- or you’ve just come through one

I'm here to support you.  Reach out, book in a 20 minute "Get in Touch" session and let's talk.

Today we’re busting myths and exploring the facts of Female Ejaculation, also known as ‘Squirting’.

My gorgeous friend Stacey, from Mind Interiors, reached out to chat to me about one of the Chakras - in particular, the Sacral Chakra.

Despite the fact that I teach Tantra, I often don’t share on the Chakras, because I know they can seem esoteric - and I like to be really grounded in my approach. But one of the things I really love about Tantra is that it’s not only spiritual, but incredibly practical.

So although we’re talking about Chakras today, you’ll find our conversation practical, insightful and powerful.

Before we dive in, I want to share just a little on what Chakras are for those of you that might be unfamiliar with them.

Chakras in Eastern mythology and philosophy are spinning wheels of energy and light. We can’t see them or actually find them in the body.

There are 7 Chakras aligning with our physical body. Each Chakra has it’s own energy that corresponds to areas of our lives - and we work a lot with these in Tantra.

Stacey and I are talking about the Sacral Chakra, sexuality + creativity and explore:

• Are personal power, sexual power + creative power the same energy? and how do they affect our self worth?
• How to recognize when we’re squashing down our energies
• The interconnectedness of the chakras
• Activating the life force of your sacral chakra and how that manifests/is expressed
• How we can reconnect and give ourselves permission to be our true selves
• How to communicate our needs, wants and desires (to ourself + our partner)
• Preparing the perfect physical space to engage all the senses ahead of intimacy
• Giving and receiving with gratitude
• Sensuality and sexuality

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into Chakras, creativity and sexuality…

Today I’m sharing just how and where you can start when you haven’t been intimate in a really long time.

One of the most common reasons couples see me as a therapist is because they’re not having sex anymore - or at least not being intimate as often as they’d like.

Becoming intimate again can make such a huge difference to our relationship and overall happiness.

We tend to think everyone else has a great relationship and sex life. We can think that there’s something wrong with us because we’re the only ones not having sex – or arguing about it. But couples who are struggling in this area are not alone. It’s far more common than we might think. 

What’s really important to know is it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. 

If it’s been a while since you were intimate you might be able to relate to this:

• Perhaps you’ve been wishing this will just ‘fix’ itself, or wished that you could just get on with your relationship without sex.
• Maybe you build yourself up, telling yourself ‘I know I need to do something about this – tonight’s the night.’ But then you forget or feel too nervous or just don’t feel in the mood anymore.
• The longer you go without it, the more awkward and uncomfortable it can feel.
• You wish you could just want to ‘want to’ again. But you don’t know how or where to start. And it seems like all the sex advice in the world can’t get you over that first hurdle.

For this episode we’re going to talk specifically about how to take small, practical steps towards regaining intimacy when it’s been a long time, including:

• Asking yourself how important it is to you
• Understanding desire
• Sharing appreciation with your partner
• Spending quality time together
• The small steps back to intimacy using non-sexual physical touch

Starting again when your sex life has been in decline isn’t easy, but it is possible.

Often, taking the first step is the hardest. By listening to this podcast, you’ve already begun the journey.

And I want you to know you don’t need to do it alone. I'm here to help. You can reach out via my website and book a short 20 minute call to see if we’re a good fit for working together.

You can also find more free resources on my website on building connection and reigniting intimacy. And for more on Desire – check out my recent podcast, Desire – everything you need to know.

In this episode, I’m back talking with Julia Hasche on The Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast and this time it's all about ORGASMS.

We discuss:

• if orgasms are possible for everyone
• if it is normal to struggle to reach an orgasm
• what kind of factors can get in the way of reaching an orgasm
• what you can do to find your orgasm

and lots more!

And I answer questions from listeners such as:

• Is it common for mothers over 40 to lose their sex drive completely?
• How do you get your orgasm back after having a child?
• When it comes to sex, is it a case of “use it or lose it”?

It’s an interesting one! I hope you enjoy. And if you have any girlfriends out there who should take a listen, be sure to share.

You know those conversations that you wish you could have with your girlfriends?

Today’s episode is one of those conversations. I’m talking to my friend Sal from Mojoco about anal sex.

We’re having an open (and very candid) conversation about our own experiences and some of the things you might need to consider if you or your partner are interested in exploring anal play.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why I love it and why Sal still isn’t interested in trying it
• Where to start with anal sex
• My first experience with anal sex and why it was terrible
• The hygiene issues you need to consider
• We also get honest about any ‘messiness’ that might arise

Take a listen in ... 

And you can find out more about Mojoco and their products here.

Tantra is the incredible practice that really began my journey with sexuality, sensuality and intimacy - and still provides the foundation of so much of the work I do.

I hear all kinds of things when I tell people I practice and teach Tantra.

I’ve heard "Oh Tantra, that’s about group sex right?" or

"Oh, I know all about Tantra. Sting does Tantra and he can have sex for 9 hours."

In this episode, I’m:

• sharing what Tantra is
• busting myths on what it isn’t
• sharing what my own personal Tantra practice involves; and
• sharing how you can try Tantra yourself - tonight if you want to!

If you feel disconnected from your partner OR struggle with recurring arguments. If you find yourself replaying the same patterns in relationships OR if you wish you could feel more confident with sex and your body … then this episode is for YOU.

Recently I was interviewed by Naturopath Jules Galloway as part of her podcast, Shiny Healthy You, in what has jokingly been labelled her Vag series!  We stepped away from discussing lady bits to delve more into relationships.

Whether you’re single, or in a relationship, there will be plenty of “aha” moments!

We talk about what to do

• if your partner wants more sex… and you’re too exhausted to say yes
• If you’re feeling up for it… but you’re not getting the kind of attention and desire that you want from your partner
• to reignite the spark and reconnect with your loved one
• to “get back on the horse” if you haven’t had sex for a reaaaaaally long time. (It can be super awkward and weird, but it doesn’t have to be!)

“It’s actually really normal for there to be different desire levels for sex in a relationship.”

Learn/discover:

• the step by step formula to rebuilding your sex life (and your relationship…yay!)
• how to check in with your own needs and desires, so that you can communicate better with your partner. Because sometimes our needs change over time, and we don’t even realise at first.

And if you’re single, find out tips for attracting a partner that will be the right person for us, and how to stop repeating old patterns when it comes to the lovers we’re drawn to.

“A partner’s desire for sex is actually a desire for connection and intimacy.”

We also chat about body image, and what it means to feel happy in your body (and sexy!) as you age and as your body changes.

“Once you’re naked, your partner’s just really grateful.”

Hahaha! Yes, it may really be that simple! Listen in to find out why.

How do you initiate sex? 

Does it ‘just happen’? Do you make the first move? Do you usually leave it up to a partner? 

This is a topic that comes up a lot with couples that I’m working with in therapy and the articles I share on this topic are always popular.  

Initiating sex can be incredibly anxiety provoking. We’re all sensitive to feeling unloved. 

If we make a move, and our partner doesn’t reciprocate, we can feel like they’re rejecting us - and no one wants to feel that way. 

Many women I speak to, tell me that they psyche themselves up all day to make a move on their partner when they get home, but then, they feel too nervous and back out. Or  they just feel like they don’t even know how to… 

Or that they try - and their partner doesn’t seem to be interested. 

In this episode I share some of the common challenges of initiating sex and then ways you can initiate that are intimate, fun and sexy.

I hope you enjoy!

So many women express a longing to be more in touch with their sexual selves.

To be able to ask for what they want, give themselves permission to feel pleasure, to be sexy… 

And yet, so many of us feel stuck and unsure where to start.

My journey started with Tantra and in this episode of the podcast, I’m talking with Ly from Zensual Woman about my journey and how YOU can connect with your sensual soul too.

In our intimate conversation, you’ll hear:

• The importance of giving ourselves permission for pleasure and exploration
• How pleasure in our bedroom is directly related to pleasure in our lives
• How we begin to call in a life partner
• What to do when we find we’re attracting the same wrong people over and over
• Practical steps you can take to begin connecting to your sensuality

I hope you love what we have to share.

I love giving oral sex to my lover.

There's something deeply intimate and incredibly arousing about oral sex to me.

Giving oral sex is an almost guaranteed way for me to turn myself on... But more important than that, it also opens my heart. It feels like a gift I'm giving my partner. It requires trust and surrender, especially if I'm in the mood to take my lover deep. I need to trust that he'll pay attention to me and not push too far. I need to feel like he's connected to me and appreciating me. 

I know that not everyone shares my enthusiasm for it... It's one of those contentious issues that shows up with couples I work with in therapy sometimes.  

Believe me, I get it.

I understand how it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

In today’s podcast I’m talking to Roger from curious creatures about oral sex. We share:

• Our likes and dislikes
• How to talk about oral
• How you can learn to feel more comfortable giving oral sex (if you want to) 

More about Roger: 

Roger Butler is the driving force behind Curious Creatures.  Roger was brought up white, middle-class, mostly heterosexual, and male. In addition to that lineage, they now identifies as kinky, tantric, polyamorous, queer, and very, very curious. Their training is in Process Oriented Psychology and the facilitation of groups, coupled with an extensive education in sexuality.

Curious Creatures believes that sex is about delicious, hedonistic experience as well as being a path of self development and a contribution to a less violent world. They run workshops in a whole range of related topics in cities across Australia.

On their podcast Curious Conversations about Sex, Rog speaks on topics as broad as complex relationship dynamics, body image, gender issues, sex in long-term relationships, kinky sex, abuse and trauma, modern tantra, and sex work.

I believe that all women deserve to feel confident, empowered and deeply pleasured around sex.

And yet, there’s so much about it that we’re not taught.

Knowledge is power beauty - so today I’m talking about orgasms.

It’s stuff that I believe we all should have been taught, but probably weren’t.

If we believe movies, TV and porn, we’re told that women orgasm easily, loudly and frequently, with hardly any effort and certainly no foreplay at all. 

Unfortunately these myths just don’t hold up in the real world. 

At least not for most of us. 

So, let’s look at the numbers on orgasm.

30% of women struggle to reach orgasm on a regular basis.

and 10% of sexual active women have never had an orgasm at all. That’s 1 in 10 of us.

Men are twice as likely to orgasm than women during heterosexual intercourse. (Lesbians have a higher rate of orgasm that women having sex with with men.)

Sex can be amazing, fulfilling and fun without having an orgasm, and we certainly don’t need to have an orgasms every time we have sex.

But it can also be frustrating when we want to have an orgasm and can’t.

I want you to have all the info you need to make them as awesome as they can be, so let’s dive in to today’s episode.

It’s normal to feel shy and worried about raising the topic of sex with your partner.

In this episode, recorded as part of the Women’s Sexuality Conference, I talk to Maya Melamed about the most common issues that couples seek help with in therapy - and how to talk about them together.

You’ll discover:

• how to talk about sex from an empowered place,
• how to ask for what you want in the bedroom and
• tips to discover what you enjoy to begin with

Tantra is a topic close to my heart and something I know so many of you are interested in too.

I was recently told by someone who came to my workshop years ago that the lessons Tantra shares on cultivating more feminine energy actually changed her life - she credits it with attracting the gorgeous man she’s now married to!

This is why I’m thrilled to be talking about all things Tantra and the Divine Feminine with the gorgeous Elise Carr from Stella Muse today.

Here’s just some of what we talk about: 

• Elise’s journey from model to foreign correspondent to Tantra teacher
• What exactly Tantra is
• Why we believe that so much of what is shared about Tantra is misleading
• What feminine energy looks and feels like
• How to embody more feminine energy in your life

It's a topic that I'm asked about more than any other in my work.

Women's sexual desire can seem like a mystery - there is often so much about it that we're not taught and don't understand.

Lack of desire can be frustrating - and we can wonder if there's something wrong with us for having not enough of it or for having too much desire.

In today's podcast I discuss:

- The science behind desire we all need to know

- Common myths around desire

- Why we would even want to be connected to our desire

- How we can cultivate desire

- 10 practical tips for increasing your sexual desire

Welcome to the  first episode of the Wholehearted: Love, Sex + Intimacy Podcast.

After a looooong break from podcasting, I’m pretty damn excited to be back on the airwaves for you.

I’m looking forward to sharing honest conversations, real sex education + powerful advice to help you revel in deep intimacy, loving sex and wholehearted relationships!

In this first episode, I’ll be sharing my own journey to sexual freedom and how I ended up becoming a sexologist including details I don’t share very often.

Tantra is a spiritual and sexual practice that completely changed my life.

In 2009, after I had been studying Tantra for several years, I went to a workshop that I thought would be like others I had been to before.

I had heard that one of the teachers had a wonderful reputation, but when he walked through the door, I was disappointed.

He looked so… normal.

He looked the least like a Tantra teacher of anyone I had ever seen.

But within the space of a week, this rather normal-looking man would deepen my knowledge of Tantra, relationships, spirituality and myself beyond anything I had known before.

This week on the Soulful Bedroom Goddess podcast, I’m interviewing my Tantra Teacher, Kip Moore. Kip also shares deep wisdom on intimacy, the dance between the masculine and feminine and the powerful, sacred nature of sex.

Hear are some of the highlights of this intimate and insightful conversation:

• How sex can be a transcendent experience deepening connection to each other and all that is
• How a man can respond when a woman is sexually afraid or anxious
