Unapologetic Mom's Club: Recent Episodes
Jannine
Hello and welcome to the Unapologetic Mom’s Club! I’m your host Jannine MacKinnon from UnapologeticMotherhood.com. I’m a mom of two, community leader, multiple small business owner, and your personal mama bear cheerleader.
We’re here to dig into the deep shit to help you feel empowered and give you the tools to break free from patriarchal standards and create a life you not only survive, but thrive in.
We’ll chat self care, women’s health, sex, relationships, plant medicine, personal development, and so much more so you can rock it in your unique mom life and beyond.
Most women don’t realize how often they unintentionally emasculate the men they love — through tone, criticism, or constantly “doing it all” themselves.
In this real-talk episode, Jannine breaks down what emasculation actually looks like, why it happens, and how to shift from control and resentment into appreciation, partnership, and polarity.
You’ll hear how the “boss babe” mindset — the one that tells women they have to hold it all together — quietly kills intimacy and attraction, and how one simple energetic shift can bring safety, harmony, and desire back into your relationship.
Inside, Jannine shares:
🌹 Real-life examples of how emasculation shows up (even with the best intentions)
🌹 The energetic roots behind control, criticism, and resentment
🌹 How appreciation opens the nervous system to safety, polarity, and pleasure
🌹 What happens when you’re both in your masculine — and how to bring balance back
🌹 The practical steps to flip the script and rebuild trust, intimacy, and connection
Whether you’ve been together for two years or twenty, this episode will help you see your man differently, lead with softness instead of shame, and create the kind of dynamic where both of you rise.

What if midlife isn’t a slow fade—but a sacred initiation into your deepest truth, cellular power, and unapologetic pleasure? In this soulful, grounded conversation, Carla Wainwright—holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and “midlife alchemist”—joins Jannine to bridge science and the sacred. We unpack how hormone shifts, stress, and blood sugar changes can make pleasure feel far away—and why that’s exactly when pleasure (hello, oxytocin) becomes the antidote that rewires your nervous system and stabilizes your hormones. Expect liberating reframes (hot flashes as sacred burn-off, anyone?), practical micro-rituals, and a reminder that the wisest, sexiest chapters can unfold in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The “sacred metabolism” of midlife: a simple science-meets-sacred lens for feeling vital again
- Why oxytocin sits “on the throne” (and how to stack 5 daily oxytocin moments without adding more to your plate)
- A kinder narrative for perimenopause + menopause that honors your body’s design (not a “decline to fix”)
-
How to transmute stress, people-pleasing, and identity shifts into clarity, boundaries, and desire
-
- Real-life practices for wetter, juicier intimacy at any age (yes to lube, language, and voice)
- The “second spring” reframe: channeling creative/sexual energy back into your heart and life purpose

When you hear the words sacred sex, what comes to mind? For many women, it’s three-hour rituals, intimidating workshops, or needing a partner who’s just as into tantra as you are. But here’s the truth: approachable sacred sex isn’t about long, perfect rituals—it’s about feeling fully alive in your body, right here, in your real life.
In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, Jannine MacKinnon redefines what sacred sexuality really is (and isn’t), why it matters for women in long-term love, and how to begin weaving it into your life—even if you’re busy, tired, or juggling kids. You’ll learn:
✨ The four pillars of approachable sacred sex—body connection, presence, energy awareness, and holistic sex tools
✨ Why this practice transforms sex from performance into empowerment (and how that ripples into confidence, intimacy, and radiance in every area of life)
✨ Three simple, practical ways to begin sacred sexuality—even if you only have 10 minutes this week

Sacred sex isn’t out of reach—it’s approachable, it’s real, and it’s waiting for you.
This is Part 2 of my series on the nervous system and pleasure. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there first!
In this episode, we dive into the subconscious patterns—like performance, people-pleasing, or shutting down—that quietly block your capacity for pleasure. You’ll learn why they show up, how they’re rooted in shame and old beliefs, and two powerful ways to rewire them so your body can feel safe, open, and orgasmically alive.

Better sex isn’t about new positions, toys, or tricks—it’s about your nervous system. When your body feels stressed, arousal shuts down. When it feels safe, pleasure flows.
In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, Jannine MacKinnon shows why your nervous system—not technique—is the foundation for desire. She shares a behind-the-scenes story of losing her libido during bathroom renovations (and how she shifted back into pleasure), along with client examples that reveal how nervous system regulation transforms intimacy.
You’ll also learn three simple ways to shift your state—so you can move from stressed and shut down into relaxed, open, and ready for pleasure.
✨ This is part 1 of a 2-part series. Next week, we’ll explore the hidden nervous system responses that get triggered during sex and how to rewire them for deeper openness and connection.

- “Us vs. the problem”: shifting conflict into collaboration

So many women freeze up when it comes to using their voice in the bedroom. You want to say something… but the words feel clunky, the mood feels fragile, and the moment passes.
In this week’s episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I’m joined by Luna Agneya, Relationship Coach and Tantrika, to explore the art of erotic talk — and how it’s different from the performative “dirty talk” you might see in porn.
You’ll learn:
- Why erotic talk is more about embodiment than performance
- How structure can actually make things sexier and safer
- Simple tools to amplify connection and pleasure right away
- Why bringing your erotic voice into sex builds confidence in every area of life
This is a real, grounded conversation for women who want more than quick fixes or clichés — it’s about reclaiming your authentic voice, deepening intimacy, and turning communication into one of the hottest tools for long-term love.

Most women use their sexual energy only for release—but what if it could be your most powerful self-care tool? In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, you’ll discover how to stop unconsciously leaking energy and instead circulate it through your body so it nourishes you—bringing radiance, nervous system balance, and everyday aliveness.

What if you could communicate with the men in your life in a way that inspires them to open up, feel valued, and show up as their best selves—without falling into criticism or disconnection?
In this heartfelt and perspective-shifting episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I’m joined by Relationship & Intimacy Coach Carla Crivaro for a deep dive into how we can truly love, respect, and uplift the men we share our lives with.
Together, we unpack:
- Why men’s emotional shutdown often isn’t about you—and how to respond in a way that builds trust instead of walls.
- The surprising ways patriarchy impacts men too (and why this matters for intimacy and connection).
- How to recognize and receive the unique ways men give love—so you stop missing the gestures that are already there.
- Why setting your partner up to win is one of the most powerful shifts you can make in your relationship.
- How to navigate those “stuck” phases, from career challenges to grief, with compassion, space, and clear communication.
We also draw powerful parallels to The Queen’s Code by Alison Armstrong (one of my most popular podcast topics ever) and explore practical ways to bring these concepts into your real life.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by miscommunication, longed for more harmony in your relationship, or wanted to better understand the masculine perspective, this conversation is your invitation to see men through a whole new lens—one that celebrates your differences, strengthens your bond, and brings more love into the everyday.

Love, libido & longevity—can they all exist together?In this soulful conversation with Dr. Diane Mueller (aka my libido doc), we’re busting the myth that long-term relationships kill passion. From healing performance pressure to navigating shame-free communication, we explore what it really takes to reignite desire in committed love.
We also unpack the growing trend of open relationships—and whether they’re truly a solution for fading intimacy. Plus: how novelty, nervous system safety, and small shifts in how we touch and talk can create big waves of pleasure.
If you’re craving more spark, depth, and orgasmic connection with your partner—but want it to feel real, not performative—this episode is your permission slip.
🎧 Tune in to learn:– Why libido often fades in long-term love (and what to do about it)– How to bring novelty and curiosity back to your sex life– The truth about open relationships as a fix– How pleasure evolves—and why that’s not a bad thing– What actually helps you feel safe enough to surrender
Dr. Diane Mueller, ND, DAOM, is a board certified sexologist with dual doctorates in Naturopathic as well as Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is the founder of the sex education center: MyLibidoDoc.com and hosts 'The Libido Lounge' podcast, where she helps monogamous couples create more passion, desire, hotter sex and better communication.

Is your libido low? Do you have desire discrepancy with your partner? Is sex and intimacy mostly something of the past? Do you feel bored or unmotivated to be intimate with your partner? So many people seek hormone replacement therapy as the answer for these problems. While balancing hormones is essential, many times this does not fix libido and people are left with their intimacy life falling apart. Want that new relationship energy back? Want the stability of monogamy but the excitement of novelty? This book gives hope, insight, and actionable steps to how to keep your love and romance alive in your long-term relationships.
YesNoMaybe Checklist: MySexDoc.com
The Yes, No, Maybe Checklist is a fun, engaging way to discover what lights you and your partner up. Each partner independently marks “Yes” for activities they’re eager to try (e.g., scheduling a sensual date night), “No” for those they’re not comfortable with (e.g., specific positions that feel off-limits), and “Maybe” for possibilities to explore together (e.g., introducing novelty like role-play). With over 100 carefully curated items—spanning sensual touch, creative positions, communication techniques, and passion-boosting ideas like those in Dr. Diane’s Hot Monogamy Club—this checklist helps couples navigate desire mismatches, reignite excitement, and build trust. It encourages notes on preferences (e.g., giving vs. receiving) and physical or emotional limits, ensuring every step feels safe and consensual.
Ever looked around at your life and thought, “I should be happy… so why do I feel so empty?”
If you’ve been the good wife, the perfect mom, the woman who does it all — but something still feels missing — this conversation is for you.
In this powerful and intimate episode, I sit down with Tantra teacher and relationship coach Kimberly Coffin to explore what it really means to choose yourself unapologetically—and how that choice changes everything.
You’ll hear:
— Kimberly’s raw story of reclaiming her body, voice, and truth after trauma
— How to recognize when a relationship is holding you back (even if it “looks perfect”)
— The inner work that paves the way for sacred, soul-level partnership
— How to stop performing and start receiving in love, sex, and life
Whether you’re in the messy middle of healing or just starting to explore your desires, this episode will remind you: your power lies in choosing you.
🎧 Press play and feel what’s possible when you stop settling and start rising.

Episode 100 — let’s celebrate! 🎉
In this milestone episode of Unapologetic with Jannine MacKinnon, I’m reflecting on the wild, powerful journey of recording 100 episodes — from hiding my podcast while healing my witch wounds to speaking unapologetically about sacred sexuality, sensual embodiment, and orgasmic empowerment.
We dive deep into the 3 most common beliefs blocking your pleasure and sensual embodiment:
- You have to earn your pleasure
- You must stay in control at all times
- Your orgasm and pleasure are too much work
These patterns run deep in the nervous system — and in this episode, I share exactly how you can begin to rewire them using nervous-system-led embodiment, trust, and devotion.
🎁 Giveaway Alert:
To celebrate, I’m giving away a free coaching session + one year access to the Sensual Embodiment Collective (valued at $650!).

Your weekly pleasure ritual is not just another thing to check off your self-care list. It’s a sacred rhythm—a devotional practice that will anchor you in your sensuality, your power, and your joy. In this heart-led solo episode, I’m sharing how this simple but potent ritual completely transformed my life… and how you can create your own, even with a full schedule and limited space.
Whether you’re feeling the pull to reconnect with yourself, expand your pleasure capacity, or simply create a consistent rhythm that nourishes you from the inside out—this episode is your invitation to begin.
✨ I walk you through:
- Why devotion is different from self-care (and how it changes the game)
- What my personal weekly ritual looks like
- How to create your own ritual space, no matter where you live
- What to do when resistance or doubt creeps in
- And why this practice is so much more than rest—it’s a reclamation.

This week’s episode is raw, unfiltered, and straight from the heart.
I’m sharing what it looks like to choose yourself—especially when it’s uncomfortable, especially when it’s inconvenient.

And the deep nourishment that only comes when you honor your truth.
Inside, we explore:
- Why saying no is a sacred, body-led decision (not a failure)
- How radical rest is a form of devotion, not laziness
- Navigating intuitive health choices when the world expects compliance
- Honoring your depletion instead of pushing through it

Maybe you've felt the stirrings—that quiet nudge that there's more to your sxxuality than what you’ve been taught. A whisper of your own radiance, waiting to be remembered. This episode is for the woman who knows there's more... but isn't sure where to begin.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to finish your to-do list, take care of everyone else, or “deserve” rest before you can enjoy pleasure—this episode is for you.

Ever feel like no matter how “good” you were—or how rebellious—you were still performing? In this powerful episode, Jannine MacKinnon shares her personal story of growing up as the good girl, spiraling into party girl rebellion, and finally reclaiming her radiance through sacred sexuality and embodiment.

✨ Learn how sacred sexuality and awakening your sacral center can help you stop performing, start receiving, and radiate from the inside out.

When it comes to sex and pleasure, there’s a common misconception that women should be able to orgasm quickly and easily—just like we often see in movies or adult content. But if you’ve ever felt like you’re “taking too long” to reach climax, let’s set the record straight:You are not broken. The truth is, women’s bodies are biologically wired to take longer to become fully aroused and orgasm, and understanding why can transform your pleasure and intimacy.
Rather than seeing this as a problem, what if you embraced it as an opportunity? A slower, more intentional approach to arousal doesn’t just lead to more satisfying orgasms—it deepens connection, enhances pleasure, and makes sex more fulfilling for both partners. In this episode, we’ll explore the science behind female arousal, why emotional and physical factors play such a big role, and how you can work with your body (rather than against it) to maximize pleasure.
In This Episode
- Breaking the Myth of "Quickie" Sex
- The Science Behind Female Arousal
- Why Evolution Made It This Way
- The Pressure to Perform vs. The Path to Pleasure
- Unlocking Your Pleasure Potential
- Why Solo Pleasure is Often Faster Than Partnered Sex

Through this week's Tuesday Transmission episode I have decided to double down on all things sacred sexuality and conscious relationships as I move forward with the podcast and online content.
Today we're getting to just the tip as we discuss the ins and outs of foreplay, and it's not the kissing and touching immediately before the act, in fact, it begins with coffee in the morning.
If you're someone who may automatically reply to advances with "I'm not in the mood", or "I'm too tired", when you truly do want more intimate connection, just feel turned off in the moment, this one's for you. You'll gain a deeper understanding of what you need to have more openness to see where those sexual advances take you.
In this episode we dive into:
- Foreplay starts with coffee in the morning
- How typical foreplay is primarily for Sexual Erotic Blueprints
- How to incorporate more emotional and non-sexual physical touch as an act of foreplay
- Deepening your connection, and expanding your openness to intimate connection

Hey there, beautiful soul! Today, I'm beyond excited to dive into a topic that's so much fun to play with: sexual energy transmutation. Let's explore the transformative potenial of using your pleasure as power through the magical practice of sexual energy transmutation.
Before we delve into the nitty-gritty, let's make sure we're on the same page. Sexual energy transmutation is all about harnessing the incredible power within us—the energy that arises from our pleasure and desires—and directing it towards personal growth and empowerment. It's like taking the vibrant waves of ecstasy and guiding them back to nourish our very core. The best part? It's not some ancient secret or mystical ritual, well maybe it is 😉 but nonetheless, it's something we can all embrace to unlock our inner radiance, and it's totally up to us how mystical and ritualistic we want to make it.
In This Episode
- Explaining sexual energy as life force energy and creative energy
- Sexual shame and disempowerment
- Two umbrellas of sexual energy transmutation
- Sexual celibacy
- Sexual expression
- History of sexual energy transmutation
- 5 practices and techniques for sexual energy transmutation
- Mindfulness and self love
- Sexual energy transmutation for creative expression
- Genital breathing
- Using pleasure as nourishment
- Sex magick using your sexual energy for manifestation

Unfortunately society isn't geared towards celebrating sexually empowered women. In fact it's quite the opposite. Our sexuality is stomped in the mud as we're told how dirty and wrong it is, then tucked behind closed doors to serve our husbands. Or, our power is taken away as we see how desirable a sexually empowered woman is, only to hear how she's a slut and see how she's shamed and ridiculed.
We know that sex sells, and that everyone wants sex. Only, we shouldn't be outright about it, and keep things tucked away hidden in the shadows. It's confusing and disempowering af. When the truth is our sexual empowerment is a source of our inner power. It's our vital life force energy that brings passion, presence, and playfulness into our lives. It's how we can move through the greatest transformation by facing the taboo and learning to embrace our shadows. It's how we build confidence and connection within ourselves and with our partners. It's a part of our health, vitality, humanness and so much more.
Today's episode shares 9 things no one tells you about female sexuality, that you should know. Because when you know these 9 things you become empowered to take your sexuality into your own hands (pun intended 😉)and use it as a pathway to embrace your inner power and your queen energy, creating a ripple effect that flows through how you show up in your life.
In This Episode:
- Your sexuality is for you. It's not to serve your husband or to get what you want.
- Your sexual energy is your vital life force energy that fuels your passion, creativity, and emotional flow.
- You don't automatically know everything. Being good at it requires learning and practice just like everything else.
- Being a sexually empowered woman doesn't mean you're a slut.
- Your libido is a sign of your overall wellbeing and ebbs and flows in alignment with your cycle.
- Foreplay starts with coffee in the morning.
- Most women require to be warmed up from their outside edges inwards.
- Our sexuality looks different from what we've seen in the media. Learning to tap into your erotic blueprints opens up so many doors for understanding your pleasure pathways.
- Although common, it's not normal to lose your libido as you age, in actuality it can be quite the opposite.

Becoming an embodied woman, what does that mean exactly? In this conversation we open up about our journey's do doing just that. How we both started out paralyzed in using our voice and in our self expression, and how it takes deep inner child healing and shadow work to overcome that. By willing to face the emotions and memories you've been avoiding and stuffing down, you are able to not only heal, but expand your capacity to feel and become more grounded in your body and as a woman.
It takes immense energy to hold it all together all the time. Trying to control the outcome while you keep the ship afloat and live up to outside expectations for fear of judgement and failing. But as you learn to heal those inner parts of yourself you're able to rekindle your spark. To feel more aliveness and open up your capacity to feel and connect while you step into the embodiment of a woman.

This meditation is like no other that you have tried before. At least that's how I felt when I first practiced it, and wow, is it impactful for connecting with your sensual radiance! As women in modern society we are so disconnected from our bodies. Constantly over riding our signal for rest, or setting boundaries, or just saying no, to instead keep the wheels turning and live up to expectations, and all of that is furthering the disconnect we have with ourselves.
The path to our inner power is by going within and one of the ways we can do that is through this free Honey Pot Meditation that connects us with our sensual radiance. In this episode I walk you through exactly how to do just that, and share more on why we have such a disconnect with ourselves, and how we can reclaim our power 🔥

If you have a womb, you need to hear the latest episode on the Unapologetic with Jannine MacKinnon Podcast, where Wellness and Womb Coach, Samantha Chandler shares her take on all things womb wellness. Whether you have a bleed, or deal with infertility, PCOS, Endimetriosis, low iron, or calcium buildup, there's a ton of gold nuggets for you.
Unfortunately our medical system is trained a very specific way that leaves women to deal with their issues for a life time, or have their uteruses removed. Thankfully there's another way, and things like nutrition and energy work, can completely change your life around leaving you feeling energized, vibrant, and in flow with your womanly cycle. We dive into all of this and more in this week's episode.
In This Episode We Talk About
- How iron, copper, and retinol work in our system
- How what we've been told keeps us feeling like crap
- Optimal health
- Infertility
- PCOS
- Endimetriosis
- Nutrition
- Working with emotions and energy

Today is a very special guest episode with Kyla Gagnon. Kyla is a somatic breathwork facilitator, women's embodiment and empowerment leader and podcast host. And I have invited her. On to the podcast to share about her journey in really stepping into her unapologetic truth, in reclaiming herself, in aligning with her authenticity and learning to really use her voice and tune into her body and tune into what is in alignment.
We dive into all of this and more as Kyla and I each share vulnerable pieces of our journey never shared publicly before. My hopes is that in listening to this conversation, you're able to see yourself in it and see the different ways that you have moved throughout your journey.
And if you are someone that is more in the beginning stages or perhaps just curious about all of these different things that we're talking about, that this conversation serves as a source of inspiration for you to really see what is possible. As Kyla and I, as we share, have both been in different positions where we literally had no voice, where we were being asked to speak, to say something, and we literally could not speak. And both of us have been able to go from that strong disconnection and that strong disempowerment to, on the flip side, really finding ourselves, reclaiming ourselves and being unapologetic in our authenticity.
This also is in partnership with her podcast, Reclaimed. I did an interview on her show, one week ago. So we will link that episode as well. I have quite enjoyed her podcast and have picked up pieces of her stories from that. I definitely recommend checking that out. All of the links are in the show notes for you to connect with Kyla on Instagram to check out her podcast. And we just so appreciate your support and listening. And without further ado, let's dig into it.
- Kyla's story, from independent and disconnected to empowered using her voice
- Working with our shadow selves
- Connecting with the body
- Finding breathwork
- Investing in yourself and taking leaps of faith
- Intuition and building a relationship with yourself
Kyla Gagnon
Kyla is a somatic Breathwork facilitator, women’s embodiment and empowerment leader and podcast host. After over 15 years in the Fitness industry as a competitor, fitness model, and personal trainer and after quite a lot of reluctance, found Herself in a conscious Breathwork session and everything changed. She now mentors women on reclaiming their power, finding their voice, clearing, trapped, emotion, and Releasing limiting beliefs so that they can achieve their next level, whether in business or in their life.
She is the founder of the Breathwork membership and the business mastermind. You can also find her leading retreats in Mexico & Vancouver Island and on the RECLAIMED podcast.

Have you ever felt guilty about missing out on work or spending too much with work? Do you feel like you are caught between different worlds, constantly struggling to find balance, that you feel like you need to do all of these things when it comes to work and family life and health and this, that, and the other thing, but there's no way you can actually keep it all balanced?
If this is resonating with you, you'll want to listed to this week's episode where I am shifting your perspective from looking for achieving that balance, and instead, moving more towards harmony, and how that can feel a lot better on the nervous system and relieve some of that undo pressure you put on yourself.
Why Finding Balance Is Unattainable
- Balance
- Perfectionism
- Harmony
- Looking at a wider picture
- Being in alignment
- Doing enough of the good stuff

Along with connection and support, communication is the foundation of our relationships, and it impacts alot more than our love life. In this episode we discuss the impact of effective communication and conscious relationships, while providing 7 simple tips to communicate effectively with your partner.
I first started using these tips a few years ago, and they completely turned my marriage around. I went from resentful and distant, and having conversations blow up, to being able to communicate like the team we are today, asking for support, and speaking about things before they fester. If you're interested in how to communicate in a better way in your relationship, then you'll want to give this episode a listen.

Saying yes and figuring it out later has been a motto of my life for quite some time. It's what lead me to exactly where I am today, living a life I love with my family, building a business in something I'm truly passionate about, making an impact with women all around the world. And it took doing the scary thing over, and over and over again. It took breaking up with boys I love, quiting jobs, putting myself through school, getting our home, and leaving my previous business behind. And it was all worth it.
I see too many women hold themselves back believing the little gremlin on their shoulder, ultimately distrusting themselves and their ability to do the thing. But this isn't going to be you anymore! We're hear to say yes and figure it out later, and if you need some extra motivation to get shit done and make things happen, then tune into this episode, and get ready to get fired up.Show Notes

Easing into the yin side of sexuality is one of the most common challenges I see women face when it comes to their sexual relationships. It makes sense, life is so geared towards women taking on their masculine energy to get through the day. That can serve a purpose, and it also get's in the way of relaxing into your feminine yin energy so you can surrender and receive.
We're digging into all of this in this week's episode, The Yin Side of Sexuality - How to Surrender and Receive. As always, I leave you a few tips so you can begin to do some of this work on your own, and if you would like more support I would love to help either through 1:1 coaching, or with my Unapologetic Practice Collection.

I keep getting asked about how to bring playfulness and spiciness back into a relationship, but the truth is, connection comes before playfulness in your relationship. In this podcast episode we crack this open to discuss why connection is the foundation for your family unit, including tips for how to connect with your spouse. My intention is to shift your perspective for what should be a priority while you strengthen your relationship while coming into your authentic self. When we rush into playfulness and spicing up the bedroom before creating that connection, it's not sustainable and quickly reverts back to the status quo. When you can build the foundation of connection, you can truly blossom in your relationship together weaving in playfulness and spiciness while you thrive.

Sayra Player
My life’s focus is to create community and healing through fine art.” Sayra founded and teaches at The Playground, where she leads movement, psychedelic breath work and empowered parts work through scene study. She studied breathwork with David Elliot & Frequency Breathwork. her natural power of presence and awareness of her sensorial body gained her a seat at The Actors Studio, where she has grown alongside acting legends. The sensory approach practiced there is much like that of somatic therapy, going into the tension (perhaps past trauma), unlocking the trapped energy through imagination, through being deeply curious.
She spent months in Poland and Italy searching for the potential of aliveness, through ancient song and exercise with the iconic Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski. Her Jungian mentor Elizabeth Kemp taught her how to harness the power of my subconscious mind, to go deeper than making intentional choices but to work with the material of the soul to know the self deeply. As a creator. Sayra has written, produced, cast, starred in, directed film and theatre for her whole adult life. As an Artistic Director of The Collective NY (founding member Amy Schumer), she nurtured over 60 artists, produced 10 plays, a benefit, a fundraiser, developed television and film. She also created Guided by Glow the #1 sexual meditation audio app for female and nonbinary embodiment practices. As a mom, she produces a beautiful and safe container for her 10 year old to blossom.

In this week's episode we dig into the power of slow pleasure in preventing burnout cycles and exhaustion. This is a ver real topic I'm dealing with now as I navigate the undercurrents of a head cold and have a sore back, and a great opportunity to highlight everything we discuss today. It's so common for us to push ourselves to the point of exhaustion and burnout by overriding our body's cues. Whey you learn to listen to your body's signals throutgh a strong relationship with yourself through slow pleasure, you're able to see how you can prevent these exhaustion cycles and nourish yourself from the inside out.
The Power of Slow Pleasure in Preventing Burnout Cycles
- Listen to your body's signals and cues to prevent burnout and exhaustion.
- Slow pleasure helps build a strong relationship with yourself and nourishes the body.
- Recognize the societal pressure to override your body's needs and prioritize self-care.
- Embody the woman you're meant to be by balancing feminine and masculine energies and seeking support.

Today is a fun topic as we dive into the 5 surprising side effects of embracing your sexuality. Many women, particularly those focussed on establishing themselves in their careers or family life, tend to push their sexuality to the side. They think it's friviolous, or even selfish, and just not worth their time, but they couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, embracing our sexuality is so much more than sexual experiences and orgasms. It's using the taboo as a portal of transformation to level up in so many different areas of our life including a booming confidence, strong boundaries, expanded presence, increased playfulness, and flourishing creativity.
In this episode we dive into all of it, as well as providing you with three key takeaways you can enact today to create a foundation for an empowered sexuality that positively impacts all areas of your life. Without further adeau, pop in those headphones, or turn on that speaker, and let's get into it!

I work with alot of productive women, amazing go getters that have achieved the career, built the business, cultivated the family life, stabilized finances, and they're left with an imbalance in their masculine and feminine energies that's causing them to feel exhausted, critical, stressed out, and disconnected from themselves and their sexuality. The masculine primary energies served it's purposed for quite some time, supporting them in achieving everything they've achieved, and it get's to a point where it's no longer serving them and they're left with some unfulfillment, craving more passion, presence, and pleasure in their life.
If this sounds like you, I invite you to plug in those headphones, and do what you love doing while listening to your favourite podcast episodes, because this is going to be a great one! You'll gain more clarity with why you're feeling stuck in this way, while shifting your perspective to what's truly possible. I'm not here for the exhausted mom narrative, and neither are you. Let's create a ripple effect of change showing more women how they can be a present mom, have the career or business, have a passionate and playful relationship, and experience some of the best sex of their life!

Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain triggers and reactions persist despite years of dedicated self-improvement work? It's a common experience, one that often leaves us feeling frustrated and perplexed. Despite our best efforts to address these triggers logically, they continue to surface, seemingly unaffected by our progress. Whether it's a lingering reaction in our relationships or a persistent response in intimate moments, the cycle can feel relentless.Show Notes

Self-Love is such a big topic, one that I find is interpreted as more of the excited, honey moon, fan girling kind of love. When in my opinion, true self-love is deeper, founded in understanding and acceptance, it's more of an unconditional flavour of love. It's an important distinction to have, one that I think makes it more realistic and attainable, while also understanding just what is needed to get there. I discuss all of this and more in today's podcast, Embracing Your Shadows: A Deep Dive into Self-Love.

Welcome, beautiful souls! Today, let's delve into one of my favourite embodiment and manifestation practices, the devotional act of getting ready every morning. Amongst perfect morning routines, the piece of actually getting dressed is so often overlooked, yet it's pivotal in aligning how you feel throughout the day with your higher self. It's through this act of self love, we're able to put on an armour of confidence through our clothes, and begin to think like her, act like her, and make decision as her. Aligning us more and more with our manifestations.

It was such an honour to connect with her again and we had so much fun talking about all things pleasure practices. I open up about my experience and share about my favourite pleasure practice, sex magick.

In this episode I'm laying it all out on the table while I open up about my pleasure practice awakening. It feels super vulnerable to put out there, but also important for those that are interested. We all have our own path when it comes to our sexuality and our healing journey. Even though I was quite permiscuous as a teenager and young woman, I found myself as a 30 year old who had never masturbated. Up until then sex and pleasure had always involved someone else, it had never fully been my own.
Self pleasure completely changed that, and through a dedicated self pleasure practice my self confidence skyrocketed, my relationship bloomed and I was able to slow down and become the present and patient mom I knew I was meant to be. It's funny to say, but a little pink clit sucker changed my whole life, and here I am teaching women like you because I know just how powerful this work is. The biggest transformation comes through exploring the taboo because it stops all the avoiding and stuffing down feelings so we can come face to face to love, accept, and embrace our whole selves, shadows and all. That by healing through pleasure we come back home to ourselves and our bodies and and are able to show up in the world the way we've always wanted.

Did you know your sexual energy can be a powerful tool for self-nourishment? In this podcast episode, Jannine MacKinnon delves deep into the concept of using pleasure practices to intentionally nourish your entire body, one of her all time favourite ways to nourish your body through sexual energy! While many self-care practices remain surface-level, Jannine explores how diving into intentional pleasure can ignite your sexual energy in profound ways, revitalizing your inner self.
Often, traditional self-care can feel like a temporary fix—something enjoyable momentarily, but it fails to offer lasting nourishment. Janine acknowledges the value of these practices while highlighting the need to go deeper, beyond the surface. She introduces the idea of regular pleasure practices as a means to harness sexual energy for inner nourishment.
Join Janine as she discusses the link between sexual energy and life force, emphasizing its potential to revitalize and rejuvenate. Through pleasure practices, the body releases happy hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, promoting overall well-being.

Today I'm defying aging myths about women's sexuality to shift your perspective and show you what's possible! All too often I hear of women losing their libido as they get older and brushing it off as a normal part of aging. Although that's super common, it doesn't mean it's "normal". In fact, especially in long term conscious relationships, the opposite can be your normal. You can experience a luscious sex drive with ever expanding sexual experiences, not only in your 40's and 50's, but also in your 60's, 70's and beyond! I've seen it first hand through the peers in my VITA Coaching Certification and know how possible this truly is!
So I invite you to tune in while we discuss the importance of self acceptance, sexual exploration, and the connection that comes with long term partnerships, and get turned on while I encourage you to incorporate pleasure practices as a way to connect with yourself, boost your libido, and increase your overall well-being.
If you want to learn more, I invite you to my upcoming free event, Revitalized Mom: Nourishing Through Pleasure, where you'll learn how to connect with yourself, your body, and your feminine flow through tools like inner child healing, breathwork, and pleasure practices. Don't forget to share your thoughts or leave a review to help the podcast reach more women on their Unapologetic Momma journey. And remember, trust your inner wisdom and create some magic!
Embracing Your Inner Power: Defying Aging Myths About Women's Sexuality
- Addressing the misconception of declining sex drive
- Embracing inner power and connecting with the wisdom of the body
- The possibility of a better sex life with age
- Acceptance and exploration of sexuality
- The importance of long-term partnerships and communication
- Incorporating pleasure practices into daily life
- Boosting libido and overall well-being through pleasure practices

I'm shaking things up in this week's episode as I reflect on where the podcast has been up until this point, and announce the new direction we will be taking things to come more in alignment with our core mission of supporting women to return to the wisdom of their bodies and nature, and embrace their inner power. Hint, you're going to be hearing alot more from me personally 😉
After that little introducation we move into the meat of the episode, challenging the narrative of the exhausted mom who dismisses sex, and encouraging you to view your sexual energy as life force energy. I'll also introduce you to the concept of Yoni breathing as a practice to connect with your body, increase sensitivity, and cultivate a stronger relationship with your feminine and sexual energy.
I also invite you to my upcoming free challenge, Revitalized Mom: Nourishing Through Pleasure for moms who feel disconnected from their body and their sexuality. Over the course of 5 days we use tools like inner child healing, breathwork, and pleasure practices to connect with our bodies and use our sexuality as nourishment.
This is true, powerful self care. There’s no fru fru surface level stuff going on here. We’re taking a holistic tantric approach, to go deep, and leave you feeling sexy, radiant, and energized.
If this sounds intriguing to you, I invite you to click this link to sign up. We begin mid January, and the recording will be made available to everyone who is interested in kickstarting their connection to their sexuality and using it as nourishment so you can show up as the fun, connected, revitalized mom you know you’re meant to be.

Erotic Blueprints are an incredible tool for uncovering your gateways and blocks to pleasure. So much of society is geared towards sexual Erotic Blueprints, with going straight to the goods for a turn on and climax, but in actuality that's only 1 of 5 different pathways to pleasure.
After uncovering my Erotic Blueprint I found so much validation in me being the way I am and knowing that it's totally normal not to get turned on by certain "usual" things. Turns out I'm one of many people that going straight for the goods causes a total shut down, and am way more likely to be turned on by having my back or neck touched first After learning about all of this I was able to communicate so much better in my relationship, and we had this base of understanding that eased so much tension and frustration, paving the way for much more pleasure
In today's episode with Angela Thurston, Program Director and Lead Trainer for The Blueprint Breakthrough, we dig into all of this and more as we cover the strengths and shadows of each of the five erotic blueprints, energetic, sexual, sensual, kinky, and shapeshifter. Tune in to learn how you can find out your unique Erotic Blueprint and apply this information to not only your relationship, but your self pleasure practice too!

Stop the burnout hamster wheel by prioritizing your self care, holistic health, and everyday pleasure 🔥 with our FREE Life Changing Self Care Checklist For Busy Moms https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/n2g5u8
Regardless of who you are and how great, or not so great, your childhood was, everyone could do with some inner child healing. Today we’re here with Baheya Sirry from Light-Hearted Parent to give you the low down about what this trendy phrase is all about, and how doing this kind of work helps us become better parents.
Our children have a way of bringing out our triggers. The loud noise, the way they talk back to us, the way they behave, etc. Often we come from reactive places during these situations, and that reactive place is often coming from our inner child. Self care is a piece of it too, and that's a conversation for another episode, but the inner child aspect is what's lying underneath. It's why we may find ourselves shouting at our kids to be quiet and behave a certain way, because that's how we were reacted to as children. Through healing our inner child wounds we become more whole ourselves, and we're able to show up more present and aligned in our interactions with our kids, partners, and other relationships.
Some of the things Baheya shares with us in the episode are:
- Learning how to stay calm during triggering situations
- Learning to respond rather than react
- Learning to heal our own shit in its different shapes and sizes
This episode was such a great learning experience filled with a ton of aha moments, and I can’t wait for you to check it out!

But I’m here to tell you that becoming accepting and confident in your sexuality is key for true self-love and acceptance.

As moms we tend to know a lot about our menstrual cycle - it is what got us pregnant after all! But there’s still a lot we don’t know simply because we weren’t taught. This week we’re talking to Period Coach Sarah Starrs about everything to do with our menstrual cycle and period! Sarah is not only a period coach but a period coach for parents, so stay tuned for some great tips about how we can make our menstrual cyle work for our lives.
You’re probably thinking about the different stages of the menstrual cycle and what that all means (which we will be getting into) - but what we’re also looking at is using our menstrual cycles to help in our parenting, and also knowing what stages of our cycle are best for different activities. Tracking our cycles, while maybe sounding a little tedious or difficult, can help us to learn the inner workings of our body and plan our daily lives accordingly.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about how the menstrual cycle affects us (both physically and mentally), how the cycle actually works within our bodies, and how we can start having a conversation with our kids about this. Sex ed was really lacking in school and a lot of us missed out on the importance of knowing all about menstruation - which is why we’re here with this episode!(originally released June 2022)Guest Expert

Tantric energy is something that we’ve maybe heard of but don’t necessarily know a lot about. Maybe you know what chakras are or maybe you’re sitting here going “wait, how do I say that word?” Tantra at its base form is our energy, and the seven chakras are the seven different main energy points in our bodies, and today we’re talking with Tantric coach Dominique D’Vita to learn more about tantric energy!
Whether we notice it or not, energy affects our behaviour and emotions, and sometimes even our physical beings. Most of us have had an experience where someone just feels off, and it’s normally to do with their energy. Practicing Tantra can help us to manage our own energy and well-being – in and out of the bedroom.
In this episode we’re talking about what practicing tantra looks like, how our different chakras can affect different aspects of our lives, and how tantric breathing and practices can help us prolong our pleasure! Dominique has so much knowledge and amazing advice to share, and we can’t wait for you to listen!

We can all agree that education around women’s bodies is lacking; for a lot of us, we aren’t taught anything past penis and vaginas. Today we’re talking to Jo Corrall about all things vulva – including anatomy, vaginal discharge, female pleasure, and more! This was a super informative episode and I think we’re really going to learn a lot together!
In this episode we talked about the vulva – what it’s made up of, how it often gets mistaken for the vagina, and even the strange names we often call it! Learning our anatomy can seem intimidating, but it actually helps us to empower ourselves. When we go to the doctor (a task that can already seem hard, hello anxiety!), we need to be able to be as accurate as possible about what’s going on with us, and learning the inner workings of vulvas is going to help us get there. We also talked about something that we don’t really like to talk about: discharge. This topic is one that can be a little uncomfortable, but it's something that is totally normal, and really alleviating to actually learn about. Jo truly knows so much about helping us to feel empowered in our bodies, and to learn all about our vulvas.

As moms, we can forget that we’re also women, who have our own needs wants, and desires - and that includes embracing our sexuality. Today we’re talking to Katie Roberts from the Pleasure Postive Podcast about sexual desire, and how to figure out what we want and communicate that to our partners. Not only is desire something we don’t really talk about, we can suppress it under all of the stress and mental load of motherhood, which can make it hard to identify and embrace.
Through chatting with Katie, we’re going to learn how to tap into desires, figure out what our desires really are, and be motivated to embrace them! Figuring out our desires goes beyond just the sexual aspect - it’s how we realize what our needs are, and what we want in every aspect of our life. Learning what we want and need is going to help make our lives more fulfilling, and I’m so happy that we’re going to explore this together!
