Let’s bring kink to the mainstream. We all have desires and passions and when you learn your erotic blueprint - you develop a language so you can speak to yours.

Kayce Neill is a conscious kink expert, an Erotic Blueprint coach, and a trauma and somatic therapist.

Several months ago my husband and I went to a BDSM retreat. This was something totally new and totally out of our comfort zone - and we were so glad we went. Kayce was one of the facilitators alongside Kimi Inch and together they run Eros and Kink. 

I encourage you to listen to this conversation with an open mind and an open heart. I hope that it brings clarity to you as a person and to your relationship.

I had COVID-19. Here’s what happened...

In this episode, I’m joined by my husband, Austin, and we share our experiences with having COVID. Over a month ago we both tested positive and we talk about how we got it, what our symptoms were like, what the arc of illness was like for us. 

We’re also going to share what we did in terms of action and supplementation and the treatment plan that we followed. Lastly, we’ll talk about recovery and how we feel now, post-COVID.

It is important to note that this is just our story. We know there are very many different experiences in the realm of this disease. Nothing shared in this episode is medical advice, I always want you to check with your provider for what is right for you. 

As always, thank you for listening and enjoy!

With cancer rates rising it’s time to question what has been standard conventional treatment for years and look for a more holistic approach to beating the cancer epidemic. 

Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy is the Medical Director of two amazing clinics: The Cancer Center For Healing & Center For New Medicine. The combined (30,000 square feet) clinics are the largest Integrative Medical Clinic in North America and visited by patients from all over the world with 47,000 patients and growing. 

These clinics use the best of both worlds and combine functional holistic homeopathic, as well as conventional protocols for treatment. Dr. Connealy specializes in cancer prevention and treatment (and how unusual is it to hear the word prevention in regards to cancer). 

She joins me to talk mostly about cancer but also how everything is connected and chronic health and autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders all play a role in our overall health and our cancer risk.

Dr. Leigh has revolutionary ideas about what modern medicine should be and I want us all to consider the possibilities if we made these practices more mainstream. 

Highlights 

• 17:45 The causes of cancer 
• 21:46 Why cancer is not simply genetic or even random 
• 36:41 Conventional cancer care and it’s outcomes

For-profit practices have caused the eyeglass industry to act in their own best interests - not yours. What they’re not telling you is if you’re nearsighted (meaning you have Myopia) you might be able to improve your vision, for good, without glasses. 

Jake Steiner is the founder of endmyopia.org. When Jake was told he needed glasses he didn’t simply accept it as most of us do. After years of experiments and vision exercises of his own creation, he was able to restore his vision. 

He has now helped 10k+ people with Myopia heal their own vision, without using glasses. 

This is a classic example of doing it different - not succumbing to the status quo and finding a new approach with creativity, logic, and science. 

I hope this episode “opens your eyes” to new information and a new way of thinking and I hope it encourages you to ask questions like “why” in your life like it has for me.

Highlights 

• 12:55 What exactly myopia is 
• 15:32 The causes of myopia and why it’s on the rise 
• 23:10 Why eyeglasses might be making your vision worse in the long term 
• 31:00 How the average eye doctor treats myopia and why it’s a flawed system
• 39:29 Jakes methods on how you can improve your myopia

When we embody our power and rise together as women in global sisterhood, we transform the world. Women’s circles are an ancient tradition of healing and community. 

My friend, Lauren Walsh, is the founder of Global Sisterhood, an organization that teaches women how to facilitate the ancient tradition of healing and transformative circles guided by the moon cycle.

Women are the healers, mothers, and caretakers of this world, and the rise of patriarchy and oppression of femininity has caused us all great pain. In this episode, Lauren and I talk about how this shows up as sisterhood wounds, and how all women all have them. 

I am such a fan of Lauren's work and who she is, and I am so excited to offer you this conversation today.

Highlights 

• 9:02 How the Global Sisterhood movement spread internationally
• 23:10 How the patriarchy is harmful to us all - men and women
• 30:17 Sisterhood wounds and what they are
