The Secret to Gourmet Sex

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/09/27

There's a commonly held belief that women are not as interested in sex as men are. It's time to bust that myth.I think what we often confuse as "not interested" is really "not interested in what's on the menu".It all boils down to the initiation we never got.Most of us have never been initiated into the sacred power of our bodies, our sensuality and sexuality and how it's all connected.To everything.Most of us have never learned to play our own divine instrument.And how key that is to not onl...

2024/09/20

I love a juicy tale of a woman diving deep and reclaiming herself.Don't you?When I witness another woman, sharing her story of feminine reclamation there's magic in the air. ✨✨✨It enlivens, inspires and ignites me in a way that's hard to express in words.I guess that makes sense.Words can only capture a part of what's going on here.It's a vibe.It's felt.A resonance. A transmission.And that's what I want to share with you in today's episode.I'm in conversation with womb healer and trailblazer ...

Real Talk: How I Got Started on the Jade/Yoni Egg

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/08/30

I have a vulnerable share.Are you ready?My very first Jade Egg sat in the drawer for months. Not days. Not weeks. We’re talkin’ months.Like so many women, when I first heard about the Taoist Jade Egg practice, I was intrigued.I’m a pretty holistic gal, so the promise of healing my pelvic floor issues (which were pretty bad) naturally, really appealed to me. I’m also kinda witchy, to be honest.I’ve always been drawn to ancient mystical practices of all kinds. Venus in Scorpio conjunc...

Hey amazing woman! I know you’re rocking it in so many areas of your life but, (yes, I'm daring to ask), how’s your love life?Are you yearning for more?I think most women are.When it comes to intimacy do you find yourself confused or frustrated? Maybe you often find yourself hovering at chronic low (or high) grade disappointment and resentment? Maybe you’re done with the whole confusing mess and decided to focus on all of the other things in life that give you joy?I hear you!An...

2024/08/09

Desire. The very word has some charge to it doesn’t it?Desire has gotten a bad wrap in many spiritual circles and in society in general but in the realm of all things Venus, our desire is gold.But most of us weren’t taught that. Quite the opposite.What I’ve come to understand and live more fully into is that desire is sacred life force calling us forward to our next adventure and our next growth edge.Desire unleashed can be our greatest teacher; a fail-proof path to our authenticity and ...

When it comes to astrology, most people know their Sun sign.Many know their Moon and Rising signs too.But so few are acquainted with their personal Venus.To be honest not many astrologers give Her much attention.Or the wrong, “bad news”, disempowering kind of attention.Like “with your Venus in this sign, or with this aspect on your Venus, your love life is doomed.” kind of thing.That’s dangerous advice.Venus is the part of your natal chart that brings it all alive.The part that gets you clear...

Why Venus? Why Now?

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/07/12

Venus, Goddess of Love.Why should we care?When we think of the things Venus/Aphrodite represents; beauty, sensuality, pleasure, sex, passion, love and intimacy it’s clear to see that these are themes most humans struggle with. But it doesn’t have to be that way.This face of the Goddess has been dissed, dismissed, trivialized, commercialized and commoditized more than any other. I find that very intriguing.What was once sacred, and central to thriving ancient civilizations has ...

There was a time in human history where beauty, pleasure, sexuality and all things Venus were held sacred.And life was good.When the Goddess of Love reigned supreme, systems of true partnership flourished and the power and virility of the Sacred Masculine was equally honored and celebrated. These civilizations were rich in sensuality, sport, ceremony, art and trade.Essential oils were used as medicine and in spiritual ritual.A highly effective form of herbal birth control was...

A time for reflection and celebration.A time to release and re-align.This Solstice was super special for me as I had the privilege of guiding a group of amazing women in my community through a sensual breathwork journey.It was such a beautiful reminder of just how potent sisterhood can be.Maybe it feels so extra sweet to me because I didn't always feel safe in community with other women.I've heard from so many women who ha...

We all know how important sleep is.And there are times when it's just not happening.I've been hearing from many women in my world that sleep issues are on the rise. With all that's going on astrologically and in the world at large, that makes sense.We're all going through massive shifts on many levels, so it's not surprising that we find ourselves up in the middle of the night more often these days.

Awakening Your Multi-Orgasmic Powers

The Vital Goddess ·

2024/05/24

What does it mean to be multi-orgasmic?From my perspective this is a wellness conversation.Multi-orgasmic is a term that stems from the Taoist Sexual Yoga practices where the healthy flow of sexual energy is considered to be the foundation of mental and physical wellbeing. And while sex, solo or partnered, can be a wonderful part of that, there's so much more.Being multi-orgasmic is not an event or a goal to achieve but the ability to tap into an innate essence of vitality that comes from a l...
