The 5 Secrets to staying completely present in the bedroom
As women, our brains are incredibly active. I mean, we’ve got tons of responsibilities. We have lots of worries and concerns. That’s not something we should be aiming for, but it’s true. We’re always looking for areas of improvement in our lives and we’re trying to do good things. There’s nothing wrong with that, but not being able to manage those thoughts that come in and out on a consistent, constant basis can be really challenging. This is why yoga, and meditation, and mindfulness training are so important these days and so prevalent. Because we’re kind of all a little bit overstrung and a little stressed out. It doesn’t help us when we want to stay present in the bedroom with our spouses. So in this blog, I want to talk about the five simple secrets to staying completely present with your husband in the bedroom.

Episode 20: Sex After Babies with Jenna Dalton
In this episode I chat with my friend and “Certified Postpartum Athleticism Coach”, Jenna Dalton!
This conversation was so.much.fun to have especially since I had NO CLUE how open Jenna was about talking about sex, orgasms and all that jazz.
We talked about pelvic floor issues, the awkwardness (and importance) of seeing a pelvic floor physiotherapist, the definition of “good” sex, the challenges of motherhood, how to describe what an orgasm really feels like and so much more.
Whether you’ve just given birth or it’s been over 10 years (like myself), this is a really informative and hilarious conversation that I don’t think you want to miss.

Episode 18: The Sweetest Love Through the Toughest Time
In this episode, I interview one of my favourite people in the whole world. I met Norene while we were both training to be Marriage Coaches (she’s also been a Marriage Therapist for years and years) and I instantly felt drawn to her.

We talk about just about everything in this episode and while we are dealing with a heavy topic- this conversation is anything but.
