    How to Enjoy Better Sex

    How to Enjoy Better Sex

    Channeling your inner sex goddess is the key to achieving more orgasms.
    50% of women have never experienced an orgasm while 95% of men have. Not only is that unfair, it doesn’t have to be that way and we have the solution. 
    When's the last time you tapped into you to unlock your full orgasmic potential? The goddess in you is always there, watching, waiting, and rooting you on. So many of us are so used to faking, we have no idea what it means to actually experience pleasure. Enter the chat, Samia Burton, entrepreneur, Hands on Sexual Educator and the host of "Not Just Another Podcast", whose mission is to guide us back to our "yoni" to unleash its power so we can live in our divine feminine. Samia doesn't shy away from those uncomfortable conversations that are absolutely necessary to move the needle forward in our intimate relationships. She reveals just how long it takes for the body to warm up and be ready for intercourse and tells us about erogenous zones you would never guess. If you're looking for ways to rekindle the fire in your relationship, marriage, or even yourself - listen to this episode STAT. Samia provides a perspective so fresh and so tantalizing you'll be eager to try out some of her suggestions to spice things up a bit. This episode is for grown folk only. Trigger warning as we do discuss sexual assault. If you've felt disconnected from your body and ultimately your sexuality due to unfortunate circumstances, Samia opens up in a way we hope you find both affirming and healing. We're bringing sexy back so that we have more love, more sex and more Big Os.
     
    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
    “Pleasure is your birthright.”
    It’s not weird to schedule sex, it may be necessary. 
    Men deserve more foreplay and sensuality on a regular basis.
    You teach people how to treat you by the way you treat yourself.
    Learn how to have tough conversations about sex with your partner to improve intimacy.
    Have an open mind and be willing to try new things in the bedroom to increase overall pleasure.

    Why Being Selfish is Actually a Good Idea

    Why Being Selfish is Actually a Good Idea

    Being selfish might be just the thing you need to tap into your joy.
    It’s time to reframe what it means to be intentionally selfish in order to live the life you want.
    When’s the last time you were selfish? Better yet, when’s the last time you were selfish without feeling guilty about it?  It’s high time we rebrand what it means to be selfish and what it looks like to choose yourself more often. The days of endless self sacrificing and carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders are over. We are now entering our “Soft Life Era”. On this week’s episode we are joined by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Trauma Specialist, and #1 Balance (and) Relationship Advisor in the World, Naketa Ren Thigpen, to help us all understand just how important it is to prioritize self care on a daily basis. From the mathematical formula to achieving balance to why selfish lovers are the best lovers. You’ve been selfless long enough. This is your official permission slip to be selfish.

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
    Learn to create the space for your joy, healing and forgiveness.
    Start by coming into your body. Your body will tell you the truth.
    It’s ok to not explain yourself. “No” is a full sentence.
    Admit the truth of what you really want.
    Creating boundaries around your truth will help you achieve your reality.
    When you are intentional about being selfish, your life becomes more juicy.

    The Real Reason You Think Dating Is Trash

    The Real Reason You Think Dating Is Trash

    It’s time to learn how to recognize, accept and align yourself with the partner you desire.
     
    Are you confused and frustrated out here in these dating streets?  With the rise of social media and its impact on who, where and how we date, it’s easy to get caught up in how love should look rather than what it actually is. As much as we all want love, are we really willing to do what it takes to obtain it, cultivate it and then sustain it for years to come? On this week’s episode we are joined by psychotherapist, media personality, award-winning speaker and 5 time best-selling author, the “King of Breakthroughs”, Jack A. Daniels, to help give us a compass and much needed direction on the journey to finding true love and keeping it. Oftentimes, women make the mistake of asking other women for advice about men. You know we like experts! From the three types of men women should NEVER date to the places where single women should NEVER live and what’s keeping you loveless, we are getting the goods straight from the “horse’s mouth.” Tap into this week’s episode if you are tired of coming up short in love and want this Valentine’s Day to be the last one you spend alone. Don’t say we never gave y’all nothing!

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
    "We are all connected and what we do to others, we do to ourselves." "Your 'list' could be what’s keeping you loveless." "Women who are seeking men should go out in pairs instead of packs." Three types of men you shouldn't be dating: the Peacock, the Project and the Penis. "Bad questions get bad answers...ask the hard questions." Focus on values instead of valuables. The more options you have, the less decisions you tend to make. Social media is killing the mystery of women for men. Most people cheat because they want something easy. Love is connecting and reconnecting on a regular basis.

    How to Manifest the Life You Want

    How to Manifest the Life You Want

    Cracking the manifestation code is not nearly as difficult as you think!
     
    It’s time to learn how to raise your vibration to manifest your dream life.
    Grab your scuba gear and put on your wetsuit for this episode because the ladies are going deep into the realm of frequencies. If you’ve been on this healing journey with us for some time, then you’ll quickly recognize that this is THE episode if you're ready for the next level of your evolution. We have all heard talk of energy, vibration and frequencies but do we really understand how they actually function and affect us? On this week’s episode we are joined by transformational speaker and “catalyst for rising consciousness,” Karen Cheong, to unpack the ways in which we can raise our vibration to access higher frequencies so we can manifest the lives we want. Karen speaks about what she calls “distortion patterns” and how they prevent us from accessing frequencies that allow us to feel more connected to source, a higher power, God, whatever you call “the Divine.” Distortion patterns keep us feeling stuck and helpless. Tap into this episode if you have been craving to go deeper but didn’t want to go alone. We’ve got you covered! By the end of this episode you’ll be asking yourself, “How can I become even more aware of my connection only to Source?”

    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
    You will not be ok doing things that do not fulfill you.
    We are all light vibrating at different rates.
    Your rate of vibration is what dictates what things appear as. 
    Everything happens at the frequency level first, and then the slower, denser vibration, mirrors the higher vibrational level. 
    The beginning point of awakening is to recognize, to realize, to feel that you are greater than your physical self; that you are infinite, indestructible consciousness having an embodied experience.
    Lower level stuff can not exist at higher vibrational frequencies..

    How to Manage ADHD

    How to Manage ADHD

    Navigating ADHD to learn how to work with your ADHD brain and not against it
     
    It's estimated that ADHD affects more than 8 million adults (or up to 5% of Americans) and 6.1% of children. Unfortunately, many people don't even know they have it. For decades, people with ADHD have been ignored, dismissed and even derided. As one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, it's easy for ADHD to be treated like a joke or a superpower, even though it's neither. On this week's episode we are joined by the NYT best selling author of "How to ADHD", Jessica McCabe. We dive into everything from how the brain of a person with ADHD works to how their loved ones can better understand and support them. Jessica opens up about what it was like to be the one with “potential” who could never quite bring it to fruition. After years of reaching out to experts, devouring articles, and sharing her discoveries on YouTube, Jessica has been able to bring a new perspective to the masses (her TED Talk has been viewed 19 million times) about what it means to live with ADHD. Tap into this week’s episode if you have ADHD or love someone with it for some great tips on how to navigate it successfully. 
     
    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
    ADHD is not a joke or a superpower.
    Make space for hyperfocus but install guardrails in your mind to stay on track.
    Studies have shown that ADHD may be polygenetic. 
    Pills don’t teach skills. Simply medicating your child is not enough. 
    Instead of telling someone to “calm down”, try telling them to “slow down.” 
    Try to work with your unique brain rather than fight against it.

    Navigating Identity and Race as a Biracial Woman in a Changing World

    Navigating Identity and Race as a Biracial Woman in a Changing World

    How to own the power in your differences
    What does it mean to grow up as ‘other’? Whether it’s due to being biracial or mixed race and never feeling like you fit in or it’s because you don’t share the same interests as other members in your culture, it’s totally normal to feel like you don’t belong. Triggered AF is joined by the CEO and Founder of The Curvy, Curly, Conscious Movement, wellness influencer and meditation enthusiast, Shelah Marie. Growing up as the only black woman in her household presented a set of challenges that helped Shelah develop a sense of curiosity and wonder, ultimately leading to a yearning for more … more play, more answers, more freedom. Shelah shares everything from advice on the one thing white parents should NEVER say to their black children to why she decided to create a safe space for black women. It’s not enough to just be weird or different, you should amplify your quirks and the things that make you ‘other’ — it’s your superpower. Tap into this week’s episode to learn how you can attract your tribe and create a family that accepts and loves you exactly the way you are. Why blend in when you were born to stand out, baby?!

    Quote of the Week 
    “It’s really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength.” - Carson Kressley



    Dating Well AF Tip
    Always remember the three R's of new relationships: respect one another, revel in the wonder, and reach out with kindness every chance you get.




    KEY POINTS & QUOTES:
    Ego and selfishness in moderation can be a good thing.
    Don’t ever say “I don’t see race” to your biracial children as a non-black parent.
    It’s  better to be a part of “salad” than it is to be in a “melting pot”.
    Amplify everything that makes you not fit in. It will become your superpower.
    Being your true self will allow you to attract your tribe and create your chosen family.
    When navigating being biracial,  it’s important to make peace with and embrace both sides of yourself to reduce confusion and anger.

La Grice ,

Sooo caught up… like Usher

Idk how your podcast always ended up getting pushed down amongst the gazillion others that I follow but it finally stood out with this episode. And I was doing yoga while listening. But the way that it brought a light to my session and put an extra pep in my step for the day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pattern that I used to find myself stuck in and lost in a daze it was all laid out for me. I’m not even sure that I finished my yoga session that morning after that huge “A-ha” moment.
No longer am I painted the color of confusion. Thank you ladies for this one.

Relatable Content!

These ladies talk about real, relatable content. Specifically the Villainous Victims episode. And it’s true…we are all villains in someone else’s story, which can be tough to admit. But necessary to understand.
