In this episode, Hilary and I continue the journey through what intimacy means, from safe body, attunement with self, then attunement with others and now into the bedroom where most people place the idea of where intimacy exists.  We talk all about those foundations we’ve built upon in the previous episodes and when they are applied in intimacy through sex, that connection reaches new depths and new heights.We talk through the 4 sex narratives that permeate our culture. Where do you land within those narratives, then get curious, ask questions about why you’re there; have you ever challenged that narrative; is it a narrative you do agree with?We chat about triggering topics y’all.  AS with all the episodes, Hilary and I encourage you to approach the information in this episode with compassion and curiosity.  IF you find yourself in discussion alongside us where you’re defending a position, or in high energy disagreement, ask…-Where are my limiting beliefs?-Where are my judgements, my projections? -Where are my insecurities?Basically, where is my conditioning showing up.  Vs.  how might this be a doorway to something that leads me into a deeper experience with intimacy than I could have ever imagined? It’s totally okay to disagree, it’s super healthy, and I encourage you to be where you are at.  There is no perfect place to be. AND, there is no ‘right’ place to be.  We simply want you to challenge where you are.  And if you land in the same place, super good.  You have consciously chosen your position.  That I absolutely can get behind! Within the exploration and questioning of this subject, Hilary and I know there is abuse, it is so real, we do validate that, know its legitimacy. There is so much nuance to relationships, we would have to dissect so much from the individual story before we even approach challenging our narratives within the relationship with ‘who you want to be intimate with.’ I considered this for a while, the place I was brought back to is the start of this series…safe body and attunement.  I really feel when these foundations are present, we can approach the experiences of  ‘disharmony, or un met needs/expectations’ and how our personal narratives/conditionsings contribute to that within a relationship in a much more grounded and clear way. ✨ If you’re looking for support in reconnecting to your body, you can reach out to Hilary or myself, we both have different styles, but share core foundations of personal intimacy and attunement.

This episode builds on themes from Part 1 of our intimacy series, exploring how our early experiences shape what intimacy, safety, and sexual empowerment feel like in our adult lives.Hillary and I dive into our personal stories of body and sexual conditioning, and how shame often tags along. We’re not sex ed experts, but we’ve done the deep inner work—and what we’ve found is that true empowerment starts in childhood.We talk about the root chakra, the power of safe touch, and how attuned parenting can change everything. By modeling a shameless relationship to our own bodies, we help children grow into adults who deeply know the language of their own bodies and boundaries.This is about healing intimacy—for ourselves, our relationships, and our future generations._____________________________________________If you or someone you know has a story of Reclamation they would love to share, I would love to know!Email your submission to:[email protected] Hi, it's Malia showing up here in the show notes to (wink, wink,) drop a reminder to ya'll to leave a 5 star review if you haven't already!

My guest on the pod today is Nikko Miyatake. He is the owner of Nikoko Cacao and Maya Superfoods. His deep immersion in the world of cacao includes six months of intensive training with a shaman in Guatemala, amplifying his understanding of cacao's spiritual and healing properties. IN this episode, you’ll hear How Nikko got into cacao, what it means to work with the plant, One hour 22 min he talks about his cacao. As an embodiment coach, cacao has been an excellent ally for me.  It is important for me to have high quality, well sourced products, especially if I’m using them in personally transformative ways. Nikko’s definitely makes the cut.But, this episode isn’t all about cacao. Nikko shares his reclamation story, taking this podcast back to its roots. We chat about his experience within a cult, how he got out and how that experience led him to discover a sense of worth within himself rather than deriving it externally. Nikko's message is centered on healthy skepticism, responsibility for self, and the importance of fundamentals. __________________________________________________If you or someone you know has a story of Reclamation they would love to share, I would love to know!Email your submission to:[email protected] ________________________________________Hi, it's Malia showing up here in the show notes to (wink, wink,) drop a reminder to ya'll to leave a 5 star review if you haven't already!

We live in a society that has become disconnected from its roots—disconnected from the wisdom of the body, from intimacy that feels safe, and from the power of fully embodied presence. For so many of us, it's been safer to live from the neck up—thinking, analyzing, performing—while the rest of us, the parts that feel, move, and desire, have been conditioned into silence.This series is an invitation to reawaken the whole body. To unlearn the fear, shame, and disconnection that keep us from trusting ourselves and experiencing intimacy in its fullest, most life-giving form. Through the lens of somatic experiencing and tantric embodiment, we’ll explore what it means to truly feel at home in ourselves, to reclaim our pleasure and power, and to build relationships that honor our deepest truths.This is not just about sex. This is about presence, aliveness, and reclaiming the sacred connection to our bodies.____________________________________________Topics from Episode 1 :-Safety in our body, why it's important-The signals our body sends that it feels open, allowed, loved-Atunement, a deep listening-Being comfortable in our Trauma ResponseTools from Episode 1:-Become present by slowing down and getting curious-Take inventory of your trauma responses-Take inventory of who you feel safe around, what does that mean for you, what are your criteria?

This weeks guest Joy Curtis brings to the conversation an insightful perspective on culture, what it means to be human and how we are all alike, yet at the same time, we are different and shouldn’t seek to change those differences or even to have the need to be where we don’t need to be.  An alternate view on unity, where there exists within unity the allowance of being different, allowing the other to remain other. The conversations jumping off point stems from Joy’s art, specifically her series of Native American sketches she did for Native American Heritage Month back in Nov.  You can find those pieces linked in the show notes.   In this series, Joy sought to capture  how we are all human in the same ways.  She shares the wisdom she has gleaned from her experience with this series and through her lived life with the Dine…also more commonly know as the Navajo Nation.  _________________________________________If you or someone you know has a story of Reclamation they would love to share, I would love to know!Email your submission to:[email protected] ________________________________________Hi, it's Malia showing up here in the show notes to (wink, wink,) drop a reminder to ya'll to leave a 5 star review if you haven't already!

Hey everyone! In this episode, I dive deeper into the concepts discussed in episode 44, with Kimber Dutton. In this episode I talk about the need to control- How the need to control comes from a place of fear. How we can notice it's rising by signals our body sends. What to do about it. I give some step by step examples of how to talk yourself off the cliff in times of 'reaction', so you can step into a more aligned response. ________________________________________________ If you have questions you want to submit for our Sexual Reclamation Series, please email them to [email protected] If you or someone you know has a story of Reclamation they would love to share, I would love to know!
