Marriage is a Kink

As you know, this past weekend, I had the opportunity to speak and attend the Toronto Taboo Show. In short, the event was a blast, and I met so many fabulous kinky people spreading sexual awareness in their own kinky way!
However, the conversation that stood out to me the most was with a man who was explaining the differences between BDSM and Kink in a Play setting versus living a BDSM and Kink lifestyle 24/7.
And as he was explaining it, all I could think of was… “Wow, this sounds a lot like marriage.”
Seriously! When it comes to marriage, BDSM and Kink, and Power-Exchange Relationships, there seems to be a lot of overlap.
Listen now to hear why I think so.

How to Move from Self-Hate to Self-Love + Dr. Fanny Leboulanger

Are you someone who is unable to take a compliment? Does looking in the mirror make you feel angry or disgusted?
This could be a sign of self-hate, which can show itself in mild, medium, and extreme ways.  
This is why today we will be joined by Dr. Fanny Leboulanger, who will explain practical steps on how pleasure and sexual wellness can be the fastest way to stop self-hate in its tracks, as well as the importance of "emotional orgasms."
Dr. Fanny Leboulanger can be described as a "Lifegasm Fairy Godmother" because, after years of working as a doctor helping women, she decided to follow what was obviously missing: assisting women to reconnect to their pleasure and their Orgasmic Power.
Using a combination of ancient wisdom, modern science, a talent to teach and a French sense of humour, Dr. Fanny's mission is to help you reclaim the thriving and fulfilling life you deserve. Dr. Fanny is also the host of the "Your Sexyfied Life" podcast, which you can access using the links below.

Battle Your Loneliness

Battle your loneliness.
Why?
Because in May 2023, Dr. Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, released an 85-page document declaring that loneliness is the new public health epidemic that we all need to worry about.
The document clearly states that “Loneliness is far more than just a bad feeling—it harms both individual and societal health. It is associated with a greater risk of…
Cardiovascular Disease
Dementia
Stroke
Depression
Anxiety
and Premature Death
The mortality impact of being socially disconnected is similar to that caused by smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and even greater than that associated with obesity and physical inactivity.”
Listen now for other shocking facts you need to care about, different ways loneliness reveals itself, and ways to help mitigate the feeling of loneliness.

Banned Foods Affecting Your Health

After struggling with my own food issues, I finally decided to eat cleaner and more organic, which sent me down a rabbit hole of shocking facts and made me face the reality that just because something is on the grocery shelf doesn’t make it safe to eat.
This is why in today’s episode, I will focus on specific ingredients that other countries have banned or at least labeled with warning signs, as they do with cigarettes and alcohol.
Because when it comes to our health, what we eat makes all the difference! And just like Dr. Andrezj says, everything gets better once you get your nutrition in check, including your sex life.
In this episode, I will be touching on
Food Colouring Dyes
Potassium Bromate
Sucralose/Splenda
Butylated Hydroxytoluene
Brominated Vegetable Oil
Phthalates
Listen now to know more about what these chemicals are, how common they are, and the harms that they do.
