DARE TO FEEL (Alexandra Roxo)

On today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with her dear friend, author, and visionary, Ruby Warrington.

Ruby Warrington is creator of the term Sober Curious. Author of the 2018 book and million download podcast of the same title, her work has spearheaded a global movement to reevaluate our relationship to alcohol. Other works include Material Girl, Mystical World (2017), The Numinous Astro Deck (2019), and The Sober Curious Reset (2020).

She is also the founder of self-publishing incubator Numinous Books. Her new book, Women Without Kids, is out now.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Discussion around the privilege of choosing to have kids or not, and consideration around the difference between that choice being a fundamental right vs. a privilege.
• How Ruby’s personal experience of not wanting to have kids and feeling like an outsider because of it led her to start doing the research around this and writing this book.
• Ideas around a potential shift to letting people decide what’s best for themselves around procreation, and what that may look like for our future as a society and community.

On today’s podcast, Alexandra speaks with Eve Bradford, an incredible poet, witch, and deep spiritual practitioner.

Eve Bradford is an educator, artist and oracular practitioner working at the intersections of art, activism, medicine and magic to create work that is an uncompromising call into authentic aliveness and embodied belonging.

Eve has been producing events, curating content, facilitating community ceremony, creating ritual theater & film and generally contributing to the evolution of underground culture for the last 20 years. With Isis Indriya, she is the co-founder of Living Village Culture and The Compass at Lightning in a Bottle, as well as a collaborator and teacher with the Academy of Oracle Arts. She has toured by sailboat creating traveling feasts of story, song and food through the Gulf Islands with the Sea to Seed Tour, invoked the humanizing and healing power of story and food with the Feasting the Enemy dinner series, and been a part-time whore with the Poetry Brothel. She was a founding member of Reclaim the Streets NYC, dedicated to undermining the privatization of public space and community gardens through unpermitted celebrations in the streets and subways. She graduated from the Gallatin Division of NYU with an independently designed BA in Art Making and Cultural Process, and from California College of the Arts with an MFA in Creative Writing.

After a series of profound life-changing events in 2017, Eve began training intensively and is now a senior teacher and staff member within the Mogadao practice tradition of mythosomatic qigong, depth sexuality, and Post-Daoist philosophy. She is also a core player in SACRA Immanence Theater, a troupe dedicated to theater as the apotheosis of sacred embodiment, radical creativity and queer ontology.

Eve currently stewards a small acequia-fed homestead and heritage orchard on the lands of the Tiwa and Pueblo People in what is now often referred to as Northern New Mexico. She offers drop-in classes, retreat immersions and private sessions that call upon the full capacity of our integrated personal ecology in service of full-spectrum health, liberated embodiment, radical expression and deeply rooted ecstasy.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Eve’s definition of depth, and how depth or surface is neither good or bad, but that they simply hold opposite ends of the spectrum of our reality.
• Ideas and discussion on the soul and how the soul is not separate from our erotic essence, but rather at the core of it.
• How the villainazation of sexual energy is crucial to capitalism and the patriarchy thriving, and how reclaiming our power is key to not continuing to unconsciously feed the systems we currently exist in.
• The distinction between desire and craving - and how desire is the voice of the soul and craving is wanting something that is not necessarily good for us and could be coming from a trauma response or other sources, rather than the soul.
• The difference between circumstantial and constitutional emotion, and how practice can help us change our constitutional emotional patterns.
• And more!

In this episode, Alexandra speaks with Vicki Noble!

Vicki Noble is a feminist healer and wisdom teacher, co-creator of Motherpeace and author of eight books, including Motherpeace: A Way to the Goddess; Shakti Woman: Feeling Our Fire, Healing Our World (a handbook for women healers); and The Double Goddess: Women Sharing Power (a survey of the long lineage of Amazons and Yoginis practicing female shamanism since time immemorial). After a series of psychic and spontaneous healing events in the late 1970s, Noble co-created, with Karen Vogel, the round feminist Motherpeace tarot cards revising both divination and world history to include women and people of color. In 2017, the fashion company Christian Dior licensed the Motherpeace images for a special clothing line, sending their matriarchal values out to all the urban centers of the world.

In the late 1980s, Vicki Noble founded and directed the Motherpeace Institute in California, and published an award-winning quarterly journal, SnakePower: A Journal of Ancient and Contemporary Female Shamanism. For decades she has traveled and taught internationally, and leading pilgrimage groups to sacred Goddess sites around the world; her books are translated and published in numerous languages. Her intensive teaching in Italy for more than a decade has led to a dedicated group of Italian feminist women practicing and passing on her teachings.

She is retired from teaching as a graduate professor in the Women’s Spirituality Masters Programs at CIIS, New College in San Francisco, and finally at Sofia University in Palo Alto (formerly called ITP). She has been a professional astrologer and healer, and for two decades has adapted Tibetan Buddhist Dakini practices for her Goddess students. Currently she holds private intensives and Motherpeace Certifications in Santa Cruz, where she lives near her family and close to the Pacific Ocean, gardening, walking, and watching whales.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Reflections on the overarching respect of celebrity and youth culture in the U.S. and subsequent lack of valuing our elders in our culture, and how that differs from indigenous cultures throughout history and today.  Plus, ideas on how that greatly impacts women, and especially older women, going through menopause and beyond.
• The origins of Vicki’s work and co-creations of the Motherpeace tarot deck and her book Shakti Woman, how the tarot community reacted to the deck at the time of its creation, and how the work holds up and is still relevant today.
• Reflections on our move into patriarchy as a society, and how that took us away from living as sacred, living collectively, living sustainably, and experiencing life from a female-centered, peaceful way of living.
• Ideas around separating the patriarchy from masculinity, and the complexities and process of this journey as women living within the patriarchy interested in healing with the masculine in our own lives.
• Reclaiming women’s spirituality in our culture, and how it is also a call for structured practices and commitment.
• And so much more…

This week, Alexandra is back answering your questions!  And today’s topic is all around ritualizing your love and sex practices to help call in what you desire.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear:

• Examples of how you can ritualize every aspect of your life, especially when you feel that some parts of your life may have become routine, or are feeling dull or numb.
• Ideas on creating rituals for yourself around areas you may desire to reconnect to love or sex, and how to integrate that into your life.
• How to do an inventory on how you are presenting yourself and/or your space to invite love or sex in and see which areas could perhaps use a little inspirational or erotic update.
• And more!

In today’s episode, Alexandra shares with us her latest favorite rebel mystics, artists, and writers on the spiritual path, and what each of those rebel mystics represent and the lessons they bring to the spiritual conversation.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How we can get to know our true soul by extending our vulnerability out every day and taking the risk of getting real and unmasked often.
• Ideas on the nuance of what spiritual growth actually is and how to check in for yourself on where you are overly comfortable and where you are actually stretching open and expanding.
• How the “how” and “why” of what we do may be more important than the “what” of what we do in this life, and what that means for our daily mindset.
• The difference between your personality and your deep soul depths, and the path to discovering your depths in life.
• And more!

This week, Alexandra speaks with Gabriela Herstik!

Gabriela Herstik is a witch, author, and fashion alchemist residing in the city of Angels whose work lives at the intersection of the esoteric and erotic. She is the author of "Inner Witch: A Modern Guide to the Ancient Craft", "Bewitching the Elements: A Guide to Empowering Yourself through Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit" and "Embody Your Magick: A Guided Journal for the Modern Witch." Her writing has been published in Vogue International, Glamour, Allure, Refinery29, and other outlets around the web and she's had columns on witchcraft, Goddesses, and weed with NYLON, Chakrubs, and High Times. Gabriela recently co-founded Kink Coven, a monthly Full Moon circle and virtual play party that casts a spell of protection on sex workers around the world, and she is currently working on two books, one on Goddesses and one on Sacred Sex. Gabriela is a devotee of the Goddess of Love and believes magick is for everyone.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Gabriela’s definition of what it means to “work with a Goddess” and ideas on how you can integrate that into your rituals or daily practices.
• How working with a Goddess is different from the mainstream manifestation practices often taught today, and how worshipping and working with a Goddess is actually a reciprocal relationship to be nurtured.
• Gabriela’s experience of attending Alexandra’s Shibari retreat years ago and how trying the practice of Japanese rope bondage opened up integrating sensual kink practices into her work with the Goddess, and how it helps to counter the more heady, masculine practices and devotional studies in her life.
• Ideas on what kink really is, and how it can help you to fully own your erotic self and what you desire.
• And much much more!

On today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with Erin Claire Jones!

Erin Claire Jones uses Human Design to help thousands of individuals and companies step into their work and their lives as their truest selves and to their highest potential. Her work as a guide, coach, and speaker has attracted a growing community of over 150,000 people who turn to her teachings for practical tools, digestible tips, and deeper self-knowledge they can access to live with greater ease and authenticity every single day. 

With work featured in Forbes, mindbodygreen, Well&Good, and Nylon; words shared on over 150 podcasts such as Almost30, That’s So Retrograde, Highest Self, and Chatty Broads; and conversations with crowds of hundreds around the world, Erin’s insights are highly sought-after because they make Human Design pragmatic, tangible, accessible — and immediately applicable to everyday life.

––

Human Design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science that sheds light on a person’s energetic makeup, as well as specific tools they can use to live at their happiest, healthiest, highest potential. It doesn’t change who they are; it teaches them who they are. It offers insight into what’s possible, and highlights the significance of understanding and living as the fullest expression of themselves. 

By putting this tool to work in her own life, Erin is showing the world a new way of work, a new path toward success, and a new perspective on living as you truly are.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Ideas on being at the phase of your work where you are working on becoming an expert in something, and how gaining critical feedback from people intaking your work is a critical part of the process.
• Ideas on the importance of being able to sustain and support yourself financially while you are building your own business, and how it’s important to be able to test out the viability of your budding business for awhile before going all in.
• Reflections on hustling while you’re building a business, and how your human design may impact your relationship to hustle and how it may be helpful to you or not on your own career or project path.
• The origin of human design and how Erin takes a very mystical tool down into a practical, empowering, and accessible tool for herself and her clients to apply to their own careers and lives.
• How understanding your own human design can help you release the notions that you must be good at everything, or every facet of your business and life, in order to be “successful”.
• And more!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Ideas and rituals on how to process loss in your life through intentionally creating a container to grieve, so that you are working with your emotions rather than letting your emotions work you.
• Allowing yourself the space to deeply honor the courage and strength it takes to be open and vulnerable in relationship, even amidst pain or the grieving process of a relationship ending.
• Examining and undoing the idea that a ‘successful relationship’ means it lasts forever, and how to instead, identify the qualities of a successful relationship based on growth, transformation, love, and healing.
• How honoring the cycles of life and death throughout our lives allows us to honor the cycles of relationship, and let go of the expectations that anything in life remains the same forever.
• And more!

He has held a daily spiritual practice for over 30 years and is the creator of The Pyramid Breath Method. A unique method of using sound, movement and optimum oxygenation techniques to dramatically shift our state towards positivity; freeing us from past trauma, allowing us to eliminate old beliefs systems, patterns and habits and connecting us with our sacred sexuality in a safe, responsible way. Johann has the unique gift of bringing his deep spiritual perspective to his coaching practices; in relationships, finding life purpose, creating healthy habits, conscious communication and experiencing fulfillment. 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Rachel and Johann’s journey into sacred and secure partnership and co-devotion together, and the journey of traversing adversity and challenges to get there.
• Their experience navigating being in a relationship before being fully expressed with each other, and how that led to becoming expressed with each other in love and partnership.
• How Rachel was able to create art out of a painful moment within their relationship, and how it coincided with a time where she was building her business.
• Rachel’s journey into becoming a teacher and how desiring to know herself sexually and erotically, and desire to empower herself and other women, became her mission.
• Johann’s journey and initiation to becoming a spiritual teacher, and how discovering spiritual teachings he felt were true was a turning point to feeling less depressed, less alone, less confused, and into making the experience of life full of meaning, magic, and feeling that being here is a true place to be.
• Discussion around the difference between belittling or minimizing a partner vs. being silly and using sacred theatre to play and come closer in together.
• Rachel and Johann’s “secret sauce” to playing and growing together in partnership and love.

• Rachel’s process of writing her book about the journey of becoming non-monogamous and having to discern what stories and people to include in the book and which needed to be left out.
• Ideas on how we can use social media consciously and an exercise to practice citing the work that has inspired the content you may be putting out on the internet, whether that’s through writing, social media, etc.
• Rachel’s reflections on the difference between writing in the style of Bustle as writing with a quick turnaround, compared to the slower process of writing a very honest memoir.

For this week’s episode, Alexandra speaks with EbonyJanice, an incredible woman who is a mega-manifestor and creative, she is the founder of Black Girl Mixtape, a writer, a dreamer, an advocate for joy, a mover and a shaker, a playwright, an activist… so many friggin’ things! OH!  

And she is also working with Alexandra in 1-1 mentorship and coaching for a year in the space of heart-opening feminine embodiment, which they get into in-depth in this episode!

And you may have seen her on Liz Gilbert’s IG page doing a live or two...

She is a soft and tender, yet POWERFUL soul.

EbonyJanice is a dynamic lecturer, transformational speaker, and passionate multi-faith preacher focused on Decolonizing Authority, Hip Hop Scholarship, Womanism as a Political and Spiritual/Religious tool for Liberation, Blackness as Religion, Dialogue as central to professional development and personal growth, and Women and Gender Studies focused on black girlhood. EbonyJanice has a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology and Political Science, and a Master of Arts in Social Change with a concentration in Spiritual Leadership, Womanist Theology, and Racial Justice. She is the founder of Black Girl Mixtape, a multi-platform safe think-space, centering the intellectual and creative authority of black women in the form of a lecture series, a podcast, and an online learning institute lead by black women scholars, and Dream Yourself Free, a Spiritual Mentoring project focused on black women's healing, dreaming, ease, play, and wholeness as their activism and resistance work.

• Ideas on how shifting the languaging for yourself from “I am healed” to “I am healing” can keep yourself open to the moment, the love, the possibilities of life on your journey.
• How de-armoring out of the ‘strong/self-sufficient woman’ and doing the work to live more in the heart is both a privilege and a constant practice.
• And more!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How ‘building the confidence’ to work with women in the transformational space was really around monetizing working with women, and how that took courage and introspection… and still does to this day!

• How to get to the root of your why behind anything you are doing and putting out into the world.

Madison Margolin is the co-founder and editorial director of DoubleBlind, a media company and education platform at the forefront of the rapidly growing psychedelic movement. As a working journalist based between New York and Los Angeles, Margolin has covered psychedelics, cannabis, drug policy, Jewish culture, and spirituality for a variety of publications including Playboy Magazine, Rolling Stone, Nylon, VICE, LA Weekly, Tablet, and was featured in High Times among other outlets. A graduate of Columbia Journalism School and UC Berkeley, Margolin has traveled everywhere from pot farms in the Emerald Triangle to the shores of the Ganges River, and all over Israel-Palestine, exploring the role of plant medicine in religion, mental health, and conflict resolution. She got her start in journalism with a column on cannabis at the Village Voice, after having lived in south Tel Aviv working with Eritrean refugees. With more than 6 years of experience covering cannabis and psychedelics, Madison has spoken on topics like social equity, cannabis feminism, drug journalism, and so forth at conferences like SXSW, Horizons: Perspectives in Psychedelics, Digital Hollywood, the Association of Alternative New Media, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Pepperdine's Cannabis Law Symposium, and more.

• Ideas on accessing states of being that are experienced during a psychedelic trip even when sober, or in our everyday.
• Ideas on what the regulation and capitalization of psychedelics may do to the experience, and some ideas on how to maintain the sacredness of the ritual even as the industry grows in the mainstream.
• Exploration of some of the stereotypes surrounding psychedelics and how Double Blind is steering the conversation and intention behind psychedelics in a direction to accurately show who is engaging with psychedelia.

On this week’s episode, we have an incredibly inspiring story for you today!  Alexandra speaks with Marlee Liss, a sensual reclamation coach, speaker, author and restorative justice advocate.  She is a queer, sparkle-loving feminist and trailblazer.  Marlee made history in the justice system when her sexual assault case became the 1st in North America to conclude with restorative justice.  Since then, she has coached hundreds of women internationally in reclaiming sensuality and embodied leadership.

Marlee has shared her voice via Forbes, Huff Post, Buzzfeed, Mel Robbins Show, and more. In addition, she is a powerful speaker and has presented/consulted for the US Military Sexual Assault Response Team, on an elite panel for the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, Fordham School of Law and more.  Currently, her story is being made into a documentary and scripted Hollywood series, as she works on her memoir. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What restorative justice is, its origins in the Indigenous, Jewish, and Mennonite cultures, and how it differs from the punitive justice system.
• Marlee’s story of sexual assault and going through the process after the assault of navigating the punitive justice system while doing very deep healing work.
• How going through the punitive justice system and the process of the lead up to a criminal trial inspired Marlee to seek out restorative justice measures instead.
• How the experience of the restorative justice therapy process brought a human element and a heart element to a justice system that otherwise can be very dehumanizing and devoid of any presence of either.
• The power of story-telling and how telling our stories provides a sense of validation to not only ourselves, but our communities as well.
• Ideas on what the vision of embodied leadership looks like and how it avoids burnout, honors our feelings, takes anger and recognizes it as passion and births creation from it, all while making huge, impactful changes in our communities.
• And more!

Please note, that we do go into the story of Marlee’s case and sexual trauma and what happened, so it’s a tender one.  Many of us have gone through these experiences, and it can bring stuff up, and it’s also really healing, so we encourage you to listen even if it feels a little edgy.  Please make sure you have some support around you and take good care.

For today’s episode, Alexandra sat down with one of her besties, Sah D’Simone, in her house in Colorado for an in-depth conversation where they discuss some things Sah has never discussed publicly before!

If you don’t yet know our guest, Sah D’Simone is a spiritual guide, meditation teacher, international transformational speaker, best-selling author, and creator of The Sah Method, who has dedicated his life to helping others to live in alignment and achieve their highest potential. He is pioneering a Spiritually Sassy, heart-based healing movement rooted in science-backed, tried-and-true techniques, in which joy and authenticity illuminate the path to enlightenment. 

His infectious enthusiasm for healing is grounded in a masterful and revolutionary synthesis of ancient Tantric Buddhism, modern contemplative psychotherapy, meditation, breathwork, and integrative nutrition... all delivered in his own radiant, approachable, and playful style. His teachings have helped enrich the lives of millions of people, and inspire a new generation of change-makers. Deepak Chopra called Sah a "radical spiritual guide, igniting connections among his generation." 

Sah has worked with Google, MoMa, Havas, Unicef, and American Express among others, and is a TEDx speaker. He has been featured on BuzzFeed, Vice, USA Today, and Refinery29, to name a few. His first book, 5-Minute Daily Meditations, was called “a yearlong personal retreat of daily meditations” by Sharon Salzberg; and his second book, Spiritually Sassy: 8 Radical Steps to Activate Your Innate Superpowers is out now. Check out his top-rated podcast, The Spiritually Sassy Show. Find Sah on Instagram and TikTok: @SahDSimone

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Sah’s journey and transformation from “serious spiritual teacher” to allowing himself to explore and share his teachings through a more artful, joyful, and authentic expression.
• Some of Sah and Alexandra’s experiences of being rejected in spiritual spaces, and how Sah was able to transform through his anger in those moments and alchemize anger into forgiveness.
• Ideas on our society’s cancel culture around social media, and how it really may be around our inability to accept that humans change and grow throughout their lifetime.
• The process of working with trauma and some ideas on ‘trauma worship’ and how we can sometimes get stuck in certain parts of the healing process.
• Sah’s current curriculum of moving away from workaholism and how that process requires grieving the old ways of contributing to the world, and also opening up the space for new contributions and art in the world.
• And more!

This week, Alexandra shares with us her first solo episode!

If you’re not too familiar with Alexandra yet, she is an artist, bestselling author, speaker and teacher. She leads workshops and has been featured as a guest speaker on podcasts and TV including on ViceTV’s Slutever, Epix’s Sex / Life show and at numerous festivals and events worldwide.

Her book “F*CK LIKE A GODDESS” debuted in July 2020 with Sounds True to be #1 new release and bestseller in 3 categories on amazon for 3 weeks in a row. It was also featured in many publications as a radical guidebook for modern spirituality outside the mainstream and a practical guide to healing that includes body, mind, and spirit.  

With a career traversing genres, but with a through line of exploration of the female body and the intersection of sexuality and spirituality, Alexandra has been making art, writing, and sharing her heart publicly for nearly two decades about modern spirituality, the feminine faces of the divine, embodiment as healing and practice, and the path of the expression of the soul through art and writing as liberation.

During this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to use discernment about what teachings, art, wisdom, and influences to allow into your life in this modern, digital age.
• How spiritual sacred space is relative to each person’s unique life experience and is not a cookie-cutter formula that fits everyone.
• How the mystical life is vast, and includes both the sacred and the profane.
• How to be a more nuanced spiritual practitioner and experience life more robustly, rather than just “good” vs. “bad”.
• How we are spiritual, emotional, physical, and psychological beings and not just one element of being.
• Why it’s important to bring all sorts of people, stories, and paths of living to the “spiritual” conversation.
• And more!

In today’s solo episode, Alexandra reads a poem she wrote, and discusses crossing thresholds in life.  This episode includes reflections around the times we are transforming through different phases of life, persona, and existence, and how to allow yourself to cross these thresholds.

• Discussion on listening to your inner voice, even when it’s telling you to completely alter the course of your life, and ideas on how to navigate that for yourself.

• And more!

This week, Alexandra speaks with Ingrid Coronado, who is a native Mexican, a television host, radio host, writer, and lecturer!

She is a Mexican content creator and digital leader with a 25-year media career, and a leader of female empowerment and icon of integral well-being.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The common narrative around femininity across many cultures as consisting of self-sacrifice and being taught to feel shame around enjoying pleasure and sex as a woman, and how we can begin to unravel that for ourselves in our adult experiences and relationships.
• The process of undoing the belief that the archetype of the strong woman is “unattractive” or considered to be undesirable to the masculine being.
• Ideas on what parts of the masculine stereotypes are ready to be retired in terms of dating and relationships, and how we can begin to take steps ourselves towards lasting change.
• Ideas on how changing the larger paradigm of cultural norms starts first with change within ourselves, our beliefs, and our choices.
• And more!

Today’s episode of Holy F*ck is a special solo episode with Alexandra where she answers your questions on love, work, spiritual growth, and more!

This one gets personal as Alexandra shares her own stories of healing in many different aspects and areas of life, and discusses how doing such deep healing work has opened the door to receiving great love in sacred partnership.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear:

• The healing process of opening yourself back up to love after heartbreak or loss.
• The energetic connection and similarities between love and money, and how working on your ability to receive may be the key to healing your relationship to each.
• Ideas on how to navigate being in a romantic partnership when each partner may be on different transformational journeys.
• Tips for navigating through fears around online dating, and how to take the pressure off of a first date when you’re just getting to know someone.
• Alexandra’s personal journey of letting go of a lot of ego thoughts and beliefs around love, and how that opened up the door to sacred partnership.
• Ways to call in like-minded friendships and community, especially if you’re on a transformational growth journey and are beginning to grow beyond previous spaces and relationships.
• Ideas and steps to take for responding to the inner call to transition careers, especially if you don’t quite feel like you know exactly where to go or what to do next.
• And much, much more!

On today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with Emily Miller, a contestant on the Netflix show, Too Hot To Handle!

What Alexandra loved about working with Emily on the show was how unashamed Emily was about her sexuality.  She didn’t seem to be afraid to speak about her sexuality in a very blunt and honest way, and that was very inspiring to witness and see presented on tv.

This episode may be a great conversation starter for you all around expressing your sexuality, your desires, and staying open-hearted and vulnerable in relationship.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The difference between reaction in relationship - such as defensiveness or accusation - vs. staying open-hearted and vulnerable and sharing your emotions from that place.
• How staying open-hearted and vulnerable in relationship can often feel very painful, but ultimately leads to greater intimacy between partners, friends, loved ones, etc.
• Ideas on how laying down the foundation for high reward in life often comes by making high risk moves and actions to get there.
• Removing shame from how we, as a society, communicate about our sexuality and sexual desires, and how we can begin to reclaim that for ourselves.
• Ideas on what some of the fundamental differences between the masculine and feminine are in relationship, and how to reconcile that with expectations and desires you may hold for a partner.
• The challenge of sustaining change and transformation within yourself and the work and practice that goes into embodying the change within yourself and your life.
• And more!

On today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with one of her dear dear friends, Moun D’Simone!  

Moun is a Spiritual Godmother, supporting womxn to find strength and courage in their story. She works with clients and students doing deep transformational and empowerment work, through one-on-one mentorship and group programs. She also speaks and leads retreats for clients such as Maha Rose, Kripalu, Three Jewels, and more, on topics like making peace with your past, unconditional compassion, the power of practice and community, and more.

This episode is really a peek into Alexandra and Moun’s love and friendship, and how they continue to inspire each other through life’s challenges.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The process of undoing tying our worth to our productivity and our accomplishments vs. living in the present and loving ourselves unconditionally.
• Ideas on why traveling to somewhere like India or Nepal is such a life-changing experience for so many people and how experiencing a place that is immersed in ritual can alter our perspective of everyday life and how we experience it.
• How we avoid looking at and holding a relationship with death in much of western culture and how that can often keep us in a place of fear of the unknown.
• Ideas on how we can begin to become more comfortable with death and suffering, and how that process can actually help us accept the full range of our own emotions and the reality of life and death.
• How Moun’s ability to step up and act as the main caretaker for her mother after her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis came from being able to hold the duality of the experience of life as being both full of so much beauty and so much challenge.
• Ways to move yourself through fearful moments, and how to engage with the full spectrum range of our emotions as human beings, and integrate them and bring them into acceptance within us.
• And so much more on healing and staying open to all that life has to offer us!

Welcome to season four of Holy F*ck Podcast!  In this season’s kickoff episode, Alexandra shares with us a little of what she’s been up to this year, the transformations she’s experienced, plus what is coming up in her NEW Masterclass Creative Woman Set Free!

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The different phases of creativity, and how the first few phases begin with dropping into sourcing from deep within, before jumping into the later phases of doing, and getting stuff done.
• Ideas on how to open your sacred expressive channels, and how to explore your creativity and uniqueness from places other than your head or personality.
• How nuance and paradox is such a huge part of the spiritual journey, and how to come to a place of being open to holding and expressing the idea of paradox, rather than holding and expressing a black and white, very opinionated expression.
• Ideas on dropping into your own magnetism, and how that is what will attract your desires to you.
• And more!

Lux ATL is an author, former university professor, and lifelong dancer turned headmaster of the Stripcoven.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Lux’s very real reflections on her experience of giving birth, and her reflections and boundaries around being a mother and balancing building a business on social media empowering other women through stripping, and how to keep that private and protected as her children grow up.
• Ideas around being a woman who’s embodied, empowered, and comfortable with their sexuality, and how that can sometimes activate others around us.
• How sensuality, stripping, and dancing is related to spirituality, our embodiment, our way of dropping out of the mainstream over-culture ways of thinking, and getting back into our truth.
• Lux’s reflections around what she sees women desiring and wanting, and why women are attracted to sensual dance, stripping, and other forms of embodied sensual expression.
• Ideas around what the current ‘edge’ is in our culture, and how it may be surprising in the next few years to reflect on what’s shifted and perhaps come full circle in the current landscape of our culture.
• And so much more!

In today’s episode, Alexandra comes to us solo-style with a discussion around feeling like an outsider and how to find your own community and special sauce.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Discussion around the origins of the term “black sheep” and how it often feels when you grow up feeling like you never quite belong in the groups around you.
• Reflections on feeling like an outsider because of your spirituality and sexuality, and the moment when the thing that made you feel like an outsider becomes popular, or part of the mainstream.
• Healing with the process of being accepted into a group of people, and how that also takes a stretch, letting go, and building trust, especially when you’ve always felt like an outsider.
• And more!

On this week’s podcast, Alexandra speaks with Eryn Wise!

Eryn Wise is a co-director at Seeding Sovereignty, an Indigenous-led grassroots organization working on land, body and food sovereignty issues. They are also a co-founding director of the Indigenous Impact Community Care Initiative, a mutual aid program within Seeding Sovereignty, and are a co-founding mentor to the International Indigenous Youth Council. 

Ensuring a future for generations to come is a duty and responsibility to them, and they center the traditional teachings of their predecessors in the work they do with youth and organizers they strive to build community with.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Ideas on defining the concept of ‘home’ in today’s digital world for yourself, and how we can begin to explore what that feels like within our being and begin to build that within our communities.
• How getting real and being honest with ourselves about our wounds and traumas and how they may be influencing how we are currently relating to the world, can be helpful and freeing in order to not get stuck in one place of our healing evolution.
• How the pandemic and the internet influenced the ways in which people’s entitlement and privileges have come to the surface in this past year, and also shielded people from having to see the consequences of those beliefs and actions.
• Some examples and ideas of ways in which certain communities, including the wellness industry, can contribute in meaningful and impactful ways to those who have been impacted the most through this pandemic.
• And much, much more…

Welcome back to DARE TO FEEL a podcast that fearlessly explores themes of intimacy, relationships, spirituality, and healing.

I am so glad that I got to chat with holistic psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera. One thing about Dr. Nicole LePera, she feels so down-to-earth and approachable, even though she's a person who is impacting millions of people right now. And to me, that is just a sign of a real, deep, true practitioner, somebody who's in their heart, available, clear, honest, and really generous with her own story, with her own experience and healing journey. So, it was such a pleasure to chat with her about her upcoming book, How To Be The Love You Seek: Break Cycles, Find Peace, and Heal Your Relationships. It has so much in common with the themes I'm exploring in DARE TO FEEL. I really hope you enjoy this conversation.

In this Episode:

• Dr. Nicole shared about one of her most trying times in changing patterns in her family, and it brought tears to my eyes.
• We dove into whether there is truly safety in feeling, and how to create safety in the nervous system so we can dare to feel without fear.
• We went deep into Dr. Nicole’s personal struggles, hard lessons, and the work she continues to deepen into.

On today’s episode, Alexandra speaks with author and women’s health expert Alisa Vitti!

Alisa is a trusted integrative nutritionist, "hormone whisperer", and best-selling author of WomanCode and In The Flo (Harper Collins). As a pioneer in the women’s biohacking space, Alisa has figured out why over 40% of women are struggling with hormone issues and experiencing burnout. Women are being left out of fitness, nutrition, and medical research, leading them to use popularized trends to try to help themselves, but because those solutions aren't designed for them, they are getting sick. Alisa teaches women about their second biological rhythm - the Infradian Rhythm - that governs the brain, metabolism, immune, stress, and reproductive systems - and is just as important, if not more so, than the circadian rhythm (the process that manages sleep). To support the Infradian Rhythm, Alisa coined the term and created the concept of “cycle syncing,” a practice that involves incorporating specific micronutrient-rich foods at various points of the menstrual cycle to support the body’s natural production of hormones and its ability to purge any excess. She says estrogen dominance is the biggest culprit when it comes to PMS, so naturally eliminating the extra amount is key to healing. Along with the inclusion of specific foods at the right times, Alisa also recommends particular workouts, stress management techniques, and even business strategies, depending on the current phase of your cycle (intense cardio might be beneficial at one time of the month, but not at another, for example).

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Ideas on the birth control pill as ‘old tech’ vs. the ‘new tech’ options that are out there today to help women control and regulate their options for preventing pregnancy.
• The difference between the circadian and infradian rhythm and how disrupting either rhythm can lead to disease and disruptions within the body.
• How to prepare your body for pregnancy by staying rich with micronutrients and honoring your infradian rhythm, and examples on how you can do so, even starting a decade or so before trying to get pregnant.
• Ideas and examples on discussing body types, weight, size, cycles, and hormones with your friends, children, and daughters.
• And more!

• Examples of spiritual bypassing in the mainstream wellness and new age industry’s teachings, and how creating a declaration and acknowledgement of our interconnectedness in the universe can help us heal this level of bypassing.
• Ideas on how the antidote to the mainstream’s spiritualization of selfishness lies within reintegrating death rituals and safe spaces for ourselves and our communities to confront our mortality and shadow selves, in order to bring our neurosis (behavior, beliefs) back into the light.
• How we can sometimes invent challenges or hardships to solve, in order to continue to advance as a human being throughout our lifetime, and how that can really form us in becoming who we are and how we interact and relate to life.
• And so much more.

This week on Holy F*ck, Alexandra speaks with Carly Lawrence from the Netflix show, Too Hot To Handle!

Carly is one of the contestants on season two of the show that Alexandra had the pleasure of leading in a few workshops and rituals throughout the season, and was very real and honest throughout their work together.  

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Ideas on what a healthy romantic relationship is and what healthy communication between partners looks and feels like.
• How going through the experience of being on the show helped Carly heal through trust issues, people pleasing, speaking up and using her voice to state her desires, needs, and more.
• Identifying our love languages in relationship, and how we can often discover what’s important for us to receive from a partner, through being triggered or experiencing conflict in relationship.
• The power of hearing other women share about their vulnerabilities, insecurities, and healing journeys, and how that can empower us to also be honest about our own journeys and transformational work. 
• How we can find a sense of safety in others when we may be experiencing anxiety or stress, and how another human’s nervous system can help regulate ours in those moments.
• How breathing into the heart and body can help ground us down and slow down our thoughts, especially for those of us who are fast-thinkers and may experience higher levels of anxiety or stress in everyday life.
• And more!

For our first episode, Alexandra welcomes Rachel Rabbit White to the show! Rachel Rabbit White is a writer, ritualist, goddess worshiper, poet, and former sex worker. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair and a host of other incredible platforms. What Alexandra loves about Rachel is she is so radically herself—she seems like a fully self-expressed woman, and that can be hard to find in our society. She advocates for sexworker rights, for queer rights, for loving freely, and for engaging in healthy sexual relationships. Stay tuned until the end when Rachel reads a poem from her incredible book, Porn Carnival: The Paradise Edition.

During this episode, you'll learn:

• How social norms and narratives hold us back from living our most authentic and fully-expressed lives. 
• Why relationships between women and between friends can be treasured and elevated in the same way that a romantic relationship with an established partner can.
• How psychedelics can free you from the societal constructs that you normally live your life by, and empower you to nurture your truth without fear.
• How sexual fluidity and personal growth has helped her discover more about her own sexual self.
• Much, much more. 

In this episode, Alexandra speaks with Jules Blaine Davis, author of The Kitchen Healer: The Journey To Becoming You.

Jules Blaine Davis is a kitchen healer, a TED speaker and one of Goop’s leading experts on women’s healing. She is on a fierce journey to spread permission, freedom, beauty and LOVE like wildfire all over our phenomenal lives, in and out of the kitchen.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Jules’ current inquiry around feeling and experiencing joy, and how it is deep lineage work to receive and hold sustained joy.
• Questions to reflect on to see where we may be out of alignment with our values, and inquiries around how we can begin to re-write our stories around aligning with our values.
• Jules’ rituals for her own kitchen, and how we can imbue intention and love and ritual into even the most mundane of tasks and moments in our every day.
• Advice for moms around gathering a team around you - whether that’s your kids, other parents, friends, community, a hired team - and how helpful and essential that can be.
