Body Love Series: You Are The Ritual
What is your self love language? I believe it begins with making choices that are in alignment with who you are and building trust with yourself. We must be full in ourselves in order to find the love we desire, and by getting to know our inner selves deeply we can begin this process of cultivating self-love.
Body Love Series: Cultivating Safety in Your Body
Society often intellectualizes safety, while neglecting the importance of feeling safe first in the body. Feeling safe in the body involves physical, emotional, and energetic experiences of safety. And you get to define what that means to you.
Body Love Series: How to Feel More Deeply in Your Body
The reality is health encompasses more than just physical well-being – it also extends to the emotional, spiritual, and energetic. In this episode, I offer techniques for understanding what causes energy drain and stress in our lives, and how to address those issues through pleasure and embodiment practices.
Body Love Series: How Body Love Leads to Better Sex!
Having a strong relationship with one's body has a direct impact on sexual experiences, intimacy, and connection. As we expand our understanding of pleasure through the body, we discover the key to experiencing and embracing pleasure in other facets of life.
Healing Burnout and Cultivating Pleasure as a Mother
The societal pressure placed on mothers to be perfect, do it all, and prioritize everyone else's needs above their own is enormous. That's why it's essential to recognize and normalize talking about burnout, as many mothers often dismiss their exhaustion and disconnection as a part of the journey they have to manage alone.
Grief as a Ritual: Reclaiming Your Motherhood Story
Becoming a mother can be an initiation into an unfamiliar world; feelings like a loss of self and grief for one's former life may go unrecognized. Change is inevitable, but this change doesn’t have to break you, it can be a path to a new identity, a new way of being, and a journey deep into the truth of who you are.
The Power to Change: A Practice of Breath, Movement, and Grounding
While breathing, moving, and grounding are often the last thing we think of doing in moments of uncertainty – creating a ritual or self-practice of breathing, moving, and grounding can help solidify an affirmation of safety for ourselves. When we feel safe, we’re able to act from a place of power, and not reactivity, and this can make a world of difference.
Deeply Connecting to Pleasure and Power
Pleasure is the gateway to your power, and when you allow yourself to fully take it in and explore what feels good for you, that’s when you can tap into your deepest source of power. In this episode of the Pleasurehood Podcast we’ll explore what it means to be deeply connected to your pleasure & power, and how these two energies can not only transform your outer life, but your inner one as well.
Sensual Sovereignty and Pleasure, with Dr. Sonali Deepika
Sensual sovereignty is more than just an expression, it is a way of being. It's a way of physically moving through the world, and a powerful way to connect with it. How we choose to practice our personal sovereignty is coming into question. Now more than ever it is time for us to define sovereignty and how we live and express that sovereignty on our own terms.
How to Live the Full Spectrum of Life, with Tamsin Crimmens
Being able to expand our capacity to be with our pain, grief, and shame makes way for us to luxuriate in the full capacity of our pleasure. Pleasure can shape and heal our relationship with our bodies, allowing us to come home to ourselves, and feel safe in our body again. We get to define motherhood & parenthood for ourselves and begin to create and shape that reality one step at a time.
Healing the Mother Wound, with Vangile Makwakwa
Women have been conditioned to think of themselves as “less-than” and not deserving or worthy. This feeling of “less-than” has been internalized and passed down through countless generations of women. The Mother Wound is a powerful theory that addresses the pain and suffering that patriarchy has caused in most women when it pertains to motherhood.
Motherhood: A Reclamation, with Mina Aidoo
Mina Aidoo and I discuss how motherhood gets to be an experience of our own making. We get to shape and mold motherhood in our own image, one that leaves us feeling deeply connected to ourselves, our bodies, and our families.
My Burnout to Radiant Story Part 2
My burnout to radiant story required me to have deep love and acceptance for myself. It was a practice of compassion and patience with the process. In this episode, I offer my insights on how to forgive yourself for the past so you can focus your energy on co-creating the future.
My Burnout to Radiant Story Part 1
The journey of burnout to radiant for me means coming into the highest truth of who I am. Stepping into my full self-expression. Touching my inner divinity. Coming home to myself. Being your true authentic expression, living in the truth of who you are is what you were put on this world to do.

The motherhood journey looks different for everyone and is much more complex than what we give it. It is an initiation and a sacred portal into your wholeness.
Welcome to Pleasurehood
I coined the word Pleasurehood when I knew there was more to this mothering thing than burnout and self-sacrifice.
