This conversation (and others like it) are the reason we do what we do. It's juicy, and twisty, and we cover a lot of unexpected territories.  What we're sharing this week: How we consciously build fires on the "hearth" of our relationships when they're in their "winter" season. The cultural glamorization of toxic "love", and how it has impacted our connection with romantic partners (past and present). The sneaky ways our trauma adaptations show up in partnership. Creating space for Eroticism in long-term partnerships.  Whatever else popped into our brains. If this conversation gifts you an "ah-ha!", we would LOVE to hear about it. Shoot us a DM on Instagram or leave a comment/review on the podcast. We crave dialogue with our people (YOU!).    XO, Christin & Jo

Heating Up a Relationship that's "Wintering"+The Glamorization of Toxic Love

YA'LL. IT'S OUR 50TH EPISODE, BABEEEEE! And today's guest is truly ICONIC...   As CEO of Dame Products, Alexandra Fine translates the nuances of our sexualities into human-friendly toys for sex. A lifelong student of sexual health, Fine earned her Masters in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in sex therapy from Columbia University. Realizing that her skills would be best put to use making concrete improvements to people’s lives, Fine began developing her own vibrators at home and asking friends to give her their feedback. She was gaining startup experience with an organic shampoo company and decided the time was right to put her passions and her business acumen to use in the world of sex toys. Over the past six years, Alexandra has led Dame’s team to sell over 150K products in retailers all over the world. Perhaps more importantly, she’s translated her role as CEO into one of a dedicated activist for women’s health, gender equity, and prioritizing pleasure, leading efforts to uncover sexism in the industry at every turn.   We talked to Alex for 2 hours straight - it was one of those conversations that just flowed and dipped and flipped with ease. We talk about her personal experience as a human who identifies as a Non-binary woman, motherhood, running a multi-million dollar sex toy empire, relationship fluidity, what we're all looking for in our dream #momsquad, and so much more. We split this convo up into 2 parts for easier digestion. Be sure you listen to both and don't miss our podcast post-mortem at the end of part 2.   XO, Christin & Jo    Links: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/afinehuman  Shop Dame Products!

What We Want in a #momsquad+Being "Monogamish" with Dame Co-Founder & CEO, Alex Fine

Today we're taking a deep dive into the rich and powerful topic of astrology. We're getting our charts read LIVE and learning how understanding the stars can shape our path, purpose, and relationships.    Our guest of honor, Hannah Siddiqui, is a 22-year-old writer, educator, and spiritual coach from the sunny San Francisco Bay Area. Her purpose in life is to help people uncover their own spiritual power through utilizing the tools of manifestation, positive affirmations, and astrology. On her social media platforms she coins affirmations, horoscopes, and "real life" talks daily, inspiring thousands of people to turn inwards and begin to recognize their own power. As one fan notes, Hannah has cultivated a "welcoming and inclusive community," and has "helped people everywhere find their voice and confidence within themselves." Her career began at the tender age of 16 with the founding of The Road to Hannah, a lifestyle blog that quickly gained traction due to her "punk rock nature" and "no-filter attitude". After participating in national ad campaigns, collaborating with some of the world's most notable brands, and even giving a TEDx talk in 2017, she began to set her sights on photography (which she retired from in 2020) and has worked alongside the likes of Adidas, Facebook, Toyota, and more. As of 2019 she is also a certified meditation and breathwork instructor and teaches both online and in-person at Anchor Meditation in San Francisco, California. Hannah is also a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, having studied Sociology and English Literature (Go Bears).   Links:   www.instagram.com/theroadtohannah  www.tiktok.com/@theroadtohannah_  www.theroadtohannah.com

Sovereign Threesomes & Pioneering a New Kind of Womanhood with Morgan Day Cecil

Welcome to Nothing Confidential the podcast! I’m Christin Henke, your hostess with the mostess, guide from the side, and mistress of ceremonies. Together, we’re about to explore and deconstruct the shame and stigma surrounding our sexuality. You heard that right. We’re going deep on the topics of sex, relationships, spirituality, health, and everything else that impacts our ability to live, love, and orgasm freely. My hope is to shine the light on our shared experiences by normalizing taboo topics and empowering each of you to reclaim autonomy of your pleasure, your bodies, and your lives. You are now entering a judgment-free zone where I ask all the uncomfortable and embarrassing questions for you! Our unofficial mantra is: Be curious, not judgmental. So leave your inner prude at the door or strap her in tight because this. Is. Happening.
