This week, we’re talking about the birds and the bees with storyteller, lover of life, and best-selling author Shasta Townsend. Shasta is the author of Happy, Sexy, Shameless: What Our Mothers Didn’t Know About the Birds and the Bees and the creator of Balanced Life Yoga.

There is a ton of misleading information out there about sex, sexuality, and intimacy. So, how are we supposed to figure out how to navigate through the b.s. and find the truth about what a happy, sexy, shameless life looks like? It would’ve been nice to hear, at a young age (before puberty punched us all in our guts), but the truth is that many mothers had the same misinformation and shame that many of us felt/feel around sex.

Shasta walks us through how we can change the stories of who we think we are and what we believe that we deserve so that we can all step into a truly intimate, fulfilling sex life. With intention, we can heal the wounds on our sexuality and learn to release the shame that secrecy fuels.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation.

084 – What Are You Really Craving? An Interview with Alex Jamieson

On today’s episode of Vagina Chronicles Podcast, we are excited to welcome best-selling author, functional nutrition and life coach, chef, host of The Crave Cast podcast, and “cravings whisperer,” Alexandra Jamieson, CHHC, CAPP.

Alex shares the four root causes of cravings and the importance of honoring those cravings as communication from our bodies, rather than labeling them as “good” or “bad” as many of us often do.

She also talks about how gently and lovingly detoxing from the Toxic 6 (gluten, corn, soy, dairy, sugar, and caffeine) can free us from the haze and mind-numbing stupor that eating too many foods that don’t support health can cause, so that we can really begin to hear those messages our body is sending us.

Please join us today as we discuss the right for all women to have delicious, fulfilling, playful, and sexual lives on our own terms.

We encourage all of you to purchase, or check out from the library, Alex’s book, Women, Food, and Desire. It is, in our opinion, one of the most insightful depictions of women’s relationships with food, body, and passion.
