Episode 66: Sex, Intimacy & Orgasms: Why it's challenging & what to do about it! with Irene Fehr Jun 15, 2023

Sexual dynamics between men and women are complicated! It can seem like one big cosmic joke when we try to figure out how to have a healthy, thriving, mutually satisfying sex life.

If you're in a heterosexual relationship, or you would like to be, this episode is going to change your life!

I talk with Irene Fehr about why so many women believe they are 'broken' and need to 'fix themselves' when it comes to sex, and what is really going on in the bedroom that leads to a breakdown in intimacy.

We get into all the juicy details, including:

why so many women believe they are 'the problem'
what to do when you have no time or energy for sex
what the key nutrients are for cultivating intimacy
why being selfish leads to satisfying sex!

Irene Fehr, MA, CPCC, SEP, is a Sex & Intimacy Coach who helps couples make love and sex work in a long-term relationship and bring sex and passion into a sexless one. Irene's views on women's libido and intimacy have been featured in HuffPost, Cosmopolitan, Shape, Refinery29, ScaryMommy, Elite Daily and Bustle. She is no stranger to her client's issues, having recovered from the all-too-common story of 'happy marriage turned sexless' when she lost her libido - all before turning 30.

Episode 65: Transforming Failure into Fuel for your Success Jun 04, 2023

I'm taking you through my own experience of 'failing' in real time, and sharing my strategies for using failure as fuel to live an intuitive, passionate life.

I'm also giving you my one, simple strategy to use when you fail, that will shift the energy around it and allow your subconscious mind to release the fear and resistance, so you can continue to take the action you know you need to be doing!

Episode 49: Why you need to be delusional: Change the way you think to create what you want Nov 06, 2022

You can't create an incredible life if you don't feel incredible now.

Waiting to 'feel' it? You'll be waiting forever.

You have to download the belief first. The feelings will come second.

In this episode I'm showing you the delusion you're already experiencing, and why you need to become delusional in a completely different way in order to experience lasting change and growth.

Episode 48: From lone wolves to soul sisters: Why we need safe communities with Leslie Saglio Oct 31, 2022

We're all working on our healing and growth, and it sure can be lonely at times. But it doesn't have to be!

Leslie Saglio and I discuss why women have been programmed to be 'lone wolves' and believe that we have to do everything by ourselves and why it's so hard to ask for help.

She tells her own story of the turning point that catapulted her into healing and made her realize the power of community.

We talk about the 'Mother Wound' that all women must heal in order to be able to join together in safe spaces with other women.

If you've ever felt lonely, isolated, and like 'you're the only one', this conversation will heal, soothe, and nurture your soul and remind you that we are all walking each other home.

With expertise spanning nearly two decades, from Hollywood executive to startup co-founder, Leslie is a global expert in women's empowerment and embodied feminine leadership.

Leslie is a Tedx speaker, certified trauma-informed master coach, creator of the Feminine Power & Purpose Collective, and founder of the On Purpose Collective.

Episode 47: Apple pie, rage rooms, and the humour in our humanness with Jen Rafferty Oct 16, 2022

A special kind of magic happened when Jen and I sat together for this talk.

The kind of magic that occurs when women connect on so many levels and share their stories and truths.

I don't want to give too much away but here are some teasers!

- we discuss our collective trauma from the pandemic and what we must do in order to heal and move forwards

- we share our experiences of leaving marriages and moving out in the middle of the lockdown

- how to forgive ourselves, so we can become whole

- we develop our Apple Pie Theory on healing!

Settle in and share in the magic.

Presenter and author Jen Rafferty started her teaching career as a middle school teacher in Central New York for 15 years. She founded Empowered Educator in 2020 as a response to teacher burnout during the pandemic.

Since it's inception, Empowered Educator has reached teachers and school leaders all over the world. Jen has been featured in Authority Magazine, Thrive Global, and will be featured on the Tedx stage in October 2022. She is the author of the Amazon bestseller, A Place in the Staff: Finding Your Way as a Music Teacher.

Because that hunger is what's going to drive you to make all your dreams come true.

Episode 44: There's no such thing as an overnight success: my BTS story and why it's good to be gooey Sep 19, 2022

Let's chat about 'success', shall we?

And how there's no such thing as 'an overnight success'.

Whatever your version of success looks like, in any area of your life, it requires you to be willing to dismantle the old you, strip away all the stuff that's been holding you back, and simmer in the goo of transformation.

I felt inspired to share a bit of my story with you because I believe we all need to remember the reality of what's required to get what we want.

No notes. No preparation.

Our stories are powerful. They inspire, uplift, give hope and remind us we're not alone.

Episode 42: The Art of Reinventing Yourself! Sep 06, 2022

How I reinvented myself...and how you can too.

Reinvent yourself at any age and any stage!

That woman who's living her best life, free to live authentically and walking in integrity - she's done some deep work to make it possible.

Because life has a way of stuffing women into boxes, ones that don't fit and you were never meant to be inside of.

And then one day you wake up and realize you've been trying to contort yourself into boxes that other people, society, or the patriarchy gave you and you're tired of living life for everyone else!

That's when a reinvention is required!

Are you ready to reinvent yourself? Don't miss this first episode of Season Two because I'm sharing stories of my own reinvention and introducing what I've created for you so that you can reinvent yourself too!

I dive into:

What it means to reinvent yourself & why it's so powerful

How to know if you're ready for a reinvention

2 questions to ask yourself around what you need to let go of so you can rise

Selfish Summer Strategies #7: Are You Having Fun Yet? Aug 11, 2022

Have you forgotten how to have fun? Do you feel like you've lost the 'fun you'?

It's easy for life to become all about the 'to-do list', responsibilities, and stress. Fun drops to the bottom of the laundry pile. You don't have time for fun! Gotta get shit done!

Problem is, without fun, life gets way too serious, you become mired down in 'adulting', and you lose the zestiness that makes each day feel special, magical, and connecting.

Fun is found in the small moments, when you're fully present. Not focused on the past or the future. And it requires intention.

I'm bringing you my strategies to create more fun in every day, and especially this summer!!

Consider this your permission slip to have fun!

Selfish Summer Strategies #3: How to have an inspiring summer! Jul 14, 2022

If you've been feeling a little less than inspired these days, or you want to amp up your inspo this summer, I've got you covered!

Feeling inspired is essential to designing your life. Without it, your goals and desires will come from what you think you 'should' be doing, instead of what lights you up. And your cute little brain will try to figure it all out and keep you confused, or talk you out of it because it's too big and scary!

Summer is the best time to be inspired! It's the season of romance, heat, sexiness, fun, pleasure and dreams! (or at least, that's what we want it to be...am I right??)

I'm giving you some simple strategies that will get you inspired right now, and keep the momentum going all summer long, so that by the end of this season, you're going to be ready to go into the rest of the year with fresh, excited energy!

In this episode, I'm talking about the stories you tell yourself (and everyone else) about what's going on in your life, and how it's not serving your growth.

Karen is a retired nurse who struggled for 30 years with food and weight, trying diet after diet and failing every time. At 42, she was burned out, physically and mentally unwell, and had thoughts of ending her life. When she finally got the help she needed, she realized that if she couldn't change her circumstances, she had to change her thoughts and emotions and take back control of her life. She found the confidence and self-worth to leave her unhealthy marriage, lose 100 pounds, and change her life. Karen's passion is helping others find this same freedom.

Ep 4: New Year, Same Fabulous YOU!!! Jan 06, 2022

I'm calling bullshit on 'New Year New You'! You don't need to become a new you because who you are right now is perfect, you're not broken!!!

Instead, let's embrace 'New Year, Same You'

- why YOU are not broken & don't need fixing

- what is really holding you back from reaching your goals (hint: it's not because you're lazy or lack discipline!)

- how to bring forth the real YOU this year!

Want to create a powerful, magical year?? Ready to clear what's holding you back, connect to your power and blow the doors off 2022? Here's how to work with me!

My private coaching practice is the container for unleashing your magic. It's a 6 month one-on-one experience where we work together to bring clarity to what's been holding you back, clear it out, create a deeper connection to your self, and build practices that sustain lasting growth. My clients say it's "life changing" and "transformational", and have said that I am a "modern day Shaman". If you are interested, I would love to chat with you on a complimentary consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together. You can book your free call right here!
