Hello beloveds! Sophia is back to Vagina Talks and is joined this week by the brilliant body worker, teacher, and parenting coach Katie Sutherland. These two have a relaxing and effervescent conversation about wombs, teaching consent to children, relaxing into our bodies, and so much more. Sophia gives us a big lesson on helping someone of any age come back home into their bodies when crying has turned hysterical or big feelings have led to total shutdown. Katie starts the episode off by setting us all at great ease and the two share a lot of excellent tips and tricks for settling into the parasympathetic nervous system. This episode is absolutely bursting with tools so get ready to take the ones that sound good to you and leave behind the ones that don't.

Beloveds! We are joined this week again by the incredible Brittany Policastro. Brittany calls in the beauty and potent healing that can be found in ordinary moments. She and Sophia can often be found performing elaborate rituals and those will always have their vital role in healing this world, but there is just as much rich energy in washing dishes when that is the aligned move. These two talk about polyamory and the freedoms it provides as well as the mental reframing that many of us need to do when entering into such spacious agreements. This episode has the ease of two old friends catching up, because that's what it is. But when those two old friends are such incredible healing powerhouses, we all benefit from listening in. This conversation is raw and ripe with personal sharing. Do you know that "breakup" "heartache" Sophia keeps making reference to without talking about? She finds space and support to share the dish on it in this episode. Get cozy, or pumped, or anything in between, maybe you'll find the exquisite ordinary in your own life as you listen to this sweet episode! We explore the various definitions of pleasure and how it can help people to release themselves from the conditioning, discomfort, and trauma holding them trapped in ineffective habits that are negatively affecting their relationships, orgasms, pleasure experience, and ability to succeed. We review various ways to heal and learn more about their body and their orgasmic ability. FULL TRANSCRIPT PROVIDED BELOW Here’s a little glimpse/ time stamp synopsis: 3:40 - Brittany Policastro was welcomed to the show and Sophia explained how and where they met over 10 years ago. 12:00 - Talked about being silent is a bigger breakthrough. 15:30 - Giving up the paradigm of hierarchy is being "Spiritual" and validity of different paths of healing. 19:30 - Sophia and Brittany discussed cleaning vs straightening in the material world and spiritual world. 25:52 - Exploring the concept of pleasure as a medicine. 29:47 - Understanding and expanding pleasure consciousness. 34:36 - How does trauma significantly impact our nervous system? 43:56 - Sophia opened up her personal story of "breakup" trauma 1:21:00 - Sophia thanked Brittany for joining the show and lets listeners know where they can reach out to her.

Eden Edge shares her of menarche journey and how it led her to establishing business to provide education and convenient resources for menstruating women. “And so for five years, I stopped my menstrual flow for five years, I suffocated myself, my reproductive system, my vagina, all of that. And so after those five years were up, I, which would put me in 2012 I have suffered my body, as far as trying to get my body back on track, it's really taken that long.” She mentions how she discovers disturbing information about sanitary napkins and the chemicals that were put in the napkins. “They're companies that are allowed to use a chemical that elongates the cycle. Over time, the more you use these products, it's going to make that cycle longer.”  In this episode, Eden Edge informs the Vagina Talk listeners about her mission to support and educate others who have had similar experiences.

Samantha Rise I'm Samantha Rise, and welcome to vagina talks, where we speak about to from vaginas. This is a show of alchemy, where we turn poison into medicine, disconnection into wisdom and isolated wounds into communal peacemaking. Here's your host, Sophia Wise One. Sophia Wise One You already know everything they could teach you you already know everything they could say. We are here to remind you what you already already already know. I just want to take a minute to acknowledge that Vagina Talks understands that gender is fluid and dynamic and goes way beyond the binary of either woman or man, she or him. And that, in fact, it's a living and evolving thing that's actually personal person to person. And that our bodies, even our understanding, or the ways that we experience them can vary. It's important for me that that's something that has space here on vagina talks. And at the same time, I also am carrying this understanding that womanhood and the experience of the feminine and all of the female, in the splitting of that binary, has been injured has been hurt has been dismantled. And so I'm looking to have a space where the feminine and the female and the female body is reclaimed and respected and lifted and inspected and known, as well as a space that goes beyond the binary. And that acknowledges that these are limited constructs, mostly put upon us, and that we're in the process of evolving into something more whole and more true. Just wanted to say that some of my guests will use incredibly binary language for whatever reason from the places that they come from. And I just wanted to let you know that Vagina Talks has a much wider understanding, and it's a living one. So feel free to chime in as we go along. Without further ado, today's episode. Hi, everybody, and welcome back to Vagina Talks. I am your host today. Many things aren't we all think we're so many things identity, the role that I'm playing at the moment is host of a podcast called Vagina Talks. They call me Sophia, Wise One and I'm happy to be with you today. Oh, my...

This is a show of alchemy, where we turn poison into medicine, disconnection into wisdom and isolated wounds into communal peacemaking. here's your host, Sophia Wise One. Vagina Talks Theme Song by Sophia Wise One 00:20 You already know everything I can teach you already know everything I can say we are here to remind you what you already know, you already know Intro From Sophia Wise One 00:37 I just want to take a minute to acknowledge that vagina talks understands that gender is fluid and dynamic and goes way beyond the binary of either woman or man, she or him. And that, in fact, it's a living an evolving thing that's actually personal person to person. And that our bodies, even our understanding, or the ways that we experience them can vary. It's important for me that that's something that has space here on Vagina Talks. And at the same time, I also am carrying this understanding that womanhood and the experience of the feminine and all of the female, in the splitting of that binary, has been injured has been hurt has been dismantled. And so, I'm looking to have a space where the feminine and the female and the female body is reclaimed and...

Hi darlings! This episode was recorded a few months ago, and yet feels right on time as we release it today. So much of what Sophia and her brilliant guest, Jen McFarland talk about rings ever more true in this time. The tides are turning in America and they are turning in the world. Direct change is coming from our diligence, practice, and care. As we look to the future and the immense amount of work ahead of us, Jen is here to teach us ways of working smarter instead of harder so we can truly get to where we are going. Some things discussed in this episode: The corporate, capitalist, world is not designed for intuitive empathetic people which can feel very isolating. Being intuitive and empathetic is absolutely a benefit and not a problem even in those spaces. We promise. When making a work schedule for yourself, it really goes best when you just do whatever activities are in alignment for that day. Maybe you spend the day on email, maybe you flit from task to task every 10 minutes, maybe it's a rest day. No matter what it looks like from the outside, doing aligned work each day will prove to be more productive than any other practice. It is so important to get help when you need it and we are all trained to not even think we need help let alone ask for it. It truly serves everyone when you get help with anything and everything that is hard for you. People you consider competition are often the best collaborators, so reach out!

This special episode was originally recorded live on YouTube in April of 2020, just a few weeks into the global quarantine. The kindness and wisdom shared in it only grow in relevance as we continue on this journey into a new paradigm. There is a reason this week's guest is known as the Intuition Queen as her gems of insight only ring more true 6 months after she shared them. This soft, comforting episode has a few really actionable pieces of insight to help prepare for a quarantine winter and holiday season: Sophia reminds us that personal growth is much like a sine wave on an overall upward trend and our current worst is still better than our old worst. They also remind us that when faced with unprecedented fear and anxiety coming in from the outside like many of us are encountering, going back to your oldest and simplest tools can really help. What was the first thing that ever helped pull you out of darkness? Mara reminds us that giving your hands a task- gardening, baking, learning a new instrument, practicing with an old instrument, etc.- can pull your brain out of an anxiety spiral or any other overthinking episode.

Hello darlings, it's so good to be with you again! This week on Vagina Talks, Sophia is joined by the brilliant soul alchemist, kundalini practitioner and all-around sweetheart, Ali Fitzpatrick. This warm conversation has so many nuggets of wisdom, you might want to take notes. Some major topics in this episode were: The practice of kundalini yoga, or "energy" yoga, is a powerful tool of alchemy. It can help us process the explosion of energy many of us are experiencing as we awaken in this major time. When we look for rigid separation in the gender binary, even in the divine gender archetypes, we can't find it. The harder we push on those ideas, the more they just collapse, and we find a fluid spectrum of sameness. As we each navigate our mother wounds, it can be a huge comfort to separate our idea of mother from the person who birthed us. Each of us can pray for and receive a divine, perfect mother when we look to the Great Mother, and into ourselves.

We're diving right in this week with some of the pre-interview conversation. These dear friends have such a sweet and clear connection, it was impossible not to share. Our guest this week is Kandis Golden who is a filmmaker, animator, and tarot reader amongst many other things. Kandis and Sophia talk about many things in this episode, but it all seems to center around making art despite the global pandemic and political unrest that are defining our lives right now. In this episode, they talk about: The ways they have been preparing for these times and cultivating practices that support them inside of crisis Kandis talks about how you can't unbreak hearts, but you can mend and cleanse them until they are immaculate. Sophia talks about how fear is an incredibly important informant. It's not the boss of your life or decision maker, but it's a very helpful tool. You can find Kandis on instagram https://www.instagram.com/kandis.with.a.k/ (@kandis.with.a.k) or https://www.instagram.com/ediblethefilm/ (@ediblethefilm) or on her website http://kandiswithak.com/ (kandiswithak.com) you can also send her an email at kandis@kandiswithak.com If you'd like to support Kandis' work, you can help fund her film, Edible, on https://www.gofundme.com/f/edible-short-film (gofundme) You can join Sophia's https://www.patreon.com/sophiawiseone (Patreon)!

Join Sophia this week as she talks with Dr. Heather Clark about the many layers of chronic stress and burnout. This lively conversation has so much rich information in it, you’ll walk away feeling so much more informed and enriched. These brilliant people aren’t afraid to change their minds when presented with new information and show what learning and growing can look like in real time. They have unshakeable centers and share from those centers in truly generous ways. Enjoy! Some of the points of this fantastic discussion are these: Stress and burnout can come from being something you aren’t or putting your center outside of yourself. This can happen easily when your soul evolves and you keep living life in your old pathways instead of forging the new ones this new version of you requires. “Sipping beauty like a hot tea.” Sophia put into words a feeling you may recognize or at least empathize with. It’s when there is so much beauty and goodness in this world and when confronted by it, you shut down instead of basking in it because it’s just so intense a feeling. It can be quite painful to be confronted with beauty in the midst of grief, so it can help to sip on that beauty like it’s a hot tea and respect your own need for grief and insulation around your heart.  Do your own work, and only your own work. Let’s say it again, do your work and only your work! Be self-centered! Practice ruthless, constant, profound self care! Bubble baths and outdoor walks are excellent ways to tend to yourself, but don’t mistake them for the end-all and be-all of Self-Care. But on the other hand, don’t dismiss them as weak or useless just because of their popularity in the mainstream. If anything, their popularity speaks to their effectiveness.  When you center your life around yourself, you aren’t inherently sucking the life out of other people, you’re just centering your life around yourself. Where you are. Where you always are. Is there anywhere else your life is supposed to be? Didn’t think so.  When you denormalize and lay down the abusive/colonialist/patriarchal/etc. patterns in yourself; when you really stop harming your self, you suddenly start to see those things where you didn’t before. When a tv show or a person at your dinner table or a fellow student in your class says or does something harmful, you notice. Because it’s suddenly a statistical outlier to you in your experience. When even only a small number of us lay down those weapons of both self and community harm, we can pick up the tools to build a bridge to the world where everyone lays them down.  Here is a link to the shame episode Sophia mentions , https://www.sophiawiseone.com/podcast/055-reveal-to-heal/ (055 Reveal to Heal) You can find Heather's podcast, https://www.unshakablebeing.com/ (Unshakeable Being Podcast) on all your favorite platforms, you can find her on Facebook as https://www.facebook.com/vibrantagain/ (Vibrant Again) or go to her website VibrantAgain.com

I know that this time feels brain breaking, not new. For some people now, the clanging news feels and is new. New information, new astonishing heartbreaking information. Can it be true? Can it be so so so unjustly rigged? For others, the heartache and break are rooted in how old it is. How redundant and shapeshifting obvious continuous. The most heartbreaking part about it all, all of it, is how not new it is. And yet, I am an optimist in my fervor and commitment to continue until it is different. And I also believe it is different, in some ways the systemic white supremacy is different in it's shifting costumes of delivery method. In other ways, the difference is the actual response and true solidarity I am witnessing and the true listening to black leadership and direction by real allyship. Funds being shifted by mayors, charges being made, meetings with citizens where silence and being ignored was the standard. Change, because of the movement. Thank you #BlackLivesMatter.
