The Vital Goddess ·

2026/01/30

Under this luminous Full Moon in Leo on February 1st, we’re invited to return to a deeper, truer experience of self-love — not as something we earn or perform, but as something we emanate. This episode explores love as a living, embodied frequency rather than an act of self-sacrifice. With Venus traveling through Aquarius, a powerful reframe comes online: My love is liberation. Together, Leo and Aquarius remind us that joy is not the reward for giving — it is the source from which authentic l...

2026/01/23

What if breathwork wasn’t something you did but a journey you entered? In this episode, Dianne invites you into the ancient, feminine art of sensual breathwork — a gentle yet powerful way to shift states, soften the nervous system, and come home to the body. We explore conscious connected breathing (CCB), where the inhale flows seamlessly into the exhale like a wave, guiding you out of the thinking mind and into deeper, more intuitive states of awareness. Not through force or catharsis, but...

2026/01/16

What if legacy wasn’t about striving… but about how you love? In this episode of The Vital Goddess Podcast, I’m sharing a New Moon reflection inspired by the upcoming New Moon in Capricorn — a lunation that invites us to root into what we’re building long-term, not just in our work or goals, but in our bodies, our relationships, and the way we move through life. You don’t need to follow astrology for this episode to land. I share how tuning into the rhythm of the New Moon and Full...

This week on the pod I dive into a topic I’m super passionate about: The Taoist Jade Egg practice. In this episode, I share the heart of my approach to working with the Jade Egg through breath, flow, subtle movement, deep listening & self love. Rather than training the body to perform, this work is about restoring relationship with your inner landscape so safety, trust, sensation and vitality can return naturally. I introduce Jade Rebirth, my embodied approach to teaching the Taoist...

I’m sure you’ve played with manifestation. At least a bit. Or at the very least your've entertained the idea that there might be something to it. But I’m pretty sure you haven’t tasted the depth of what’s possible when you truly get real with your desires. Yet. This is the realm of your Dark Feminine. The Law of Attraction is real and it's the most powerful law in the Universe. I think Albert Einstein says it best: "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the fre...

What is erotic innocence? And how do you reclaim it for yourself? It's quite clear that society has an Eros problem. I don't have to tell you that. The layers of dysfunction and abuse that abounds worldwide is beyond disturbing. It can easily leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless. What's the antidote?

You are a powerful Creatrix my love. Part of you knows that. And I bet part of you has forgotten. One of the most beautiful things about awakening your feminine essence is that you begin to remember. You begin to shed much of the conditioning that's been scripting your life. And awaken an innate inner knowing of who you truly are and why you're really here. You come home to yourself.

Getting right with desire is a master key in reclaiming your feminine power. One of the golden keys to your Queendom. And yet, for many valid reasons, most women have a very dysfunctional relationship with desire. Twenty years ago I did as well. To be clear on what you want and to feel good about what you want can feel scary and daunting, I get it. We've had truckloads of conditioning on desire which can show up as massive resistance. What I've come to know is that desire is sacre...

I know most folks yearn for deep intimacy and lasting love in relationships. And deep inside we have a hunch that's it's possible. But how do we make that happen? Modern love is a challenge to say the least. The current state of intimacy in most long-term relationships is not what most couples dreamed it would be. It's so easy to feel like you've lost the plot on love. It's so easy to feel like you're the problem. But what if that's simply not the case? What if there was a new model of approa...

Are you ready to move beyond the Kegel? I was. About 20 years ago I had some serious issues going on with my pelvis and pelvic floor. One of those issues was sciatica. I'd have these bouts of crippling pain that would land me on my back for days. At the time I was a Pilates teacher and Yoga teacher and the tools I was teaching gave me no relief. The Kegel wasn't working either. What did help and eventually open up a whole new way of being in my body was sensual movement. In ...

Stored trauma, tension, limiting beliefs & emotional content can keep our cells in lockdown, armored up, protective.
