Wholehearted: Love, Life + Intimacy

I've been watching Corona's journey for a while and love what she shares. But one of her posts* on Instagram a little while ago really caught my attention and prompted me to reach out. She spoke about divorce being the catalyst for an extraordinary life.  "Growth happens when we can lean in and embrace the discomfort and the unknown. No transformation occurs in the known." CORONA BRADY She was wonderful enough to accept my invitation to talk about that - and I'm especially grateful - because I think we're all experiencing huge and unexpected changes in our lives right now.  Whether it's divorce, a relationship breakdown, a lost job, business failure or unexpected life shift - I also believe that these things that we often think of as devastating at the time - can really propel our lives to somewhere different and much more amazing than we had planned.  Listen in as I talk with Corona, and she shares her journey through change. Making the decision to divorce What gets you through those early stages  Grieving for the hopes and dreams that we had for the future and how to cope with that How to work through feeling like you've lost your identity The importance of having a spiritual practice been while transitioning   I also ask Corona about her Kundalini yoga and the launch of her online school - which is such perfect timing for everyone who can't get to their regular yoga session right now.    *CORONA'S POST: At 37 I thought my life was over when I chose to make a scary but very brave decision that would change the whole course and direction of my life.  But today at 39 I realise my life is only beginning and I'm excited for this new chapter. Our bravery and courage will always be rewarded for!  It's been an incredibly tough 2+ years (I'm not going to sugar coat it, I've literally walked through the fires of transformation) but I'm now out the other side and I've so much to share with you on topics such as conscious relationships, polarity in romantic relationships, when you know it's time to leave a relationship, divorce/separation, the real inner work that's required after the collapse of a marriage, grief, losing everything and beginning again, dealing with lies and deceit in relationship, opening yourself up to love again, living as an awakened empowered conscious woman, collapse of and rebuilding your foundations, working through sexual repression plus so much more! Growth happens when we can lean in and embrace the discomfort and the unknown. No transformation occurs in the known.   Corona is a Holistic Life Coach & Mentor for Women, Mind Detox Therapist, Kundalini Level 2 Teacher, and Speaker!

Every now and then some alone time is great but social interactions are a massive part of our lives.  Humans are wired for connection. What happens when we don't get it?    Well, my loves, that's what many of us are now discovering.  About 2.6 billion people on the planet are now in lock-down - that's about one third of the world's population.   The reality is that for many of us, that means literally being alone, without in person interactions, or physical touch 24 hours a day. With the possibility of lockdown continuing for weeks still to come, I want to share some advice for surviving on your own.    Footnote: I think we've all seen with the spread of coronavirus that our lives can change faster than we ever could have imagined. While much of that change has been difficult and painful - know that our lives can also change quickly in the opposite direction.    Know that there is light at the end of this tunnel. Maybe you're even feeling it now?    This won't last forever - and we still have so much to be grateful for. Do your best to take care of yourself right now. I truly believe this is an opportunity for us like no other.   To follow my journey and see more of how I'm getting through lockdown, come on over and follow me on Insta as isiahmckimmie.sexologist. I love hearing from my podcast listers over there!   Stay safe and take excellent care of you! 

How many times have you thought 'he's driving me crazy' or 'she's driving me crazy' this week? Living with your partner isn't easy at the best of times. Silly arguments often stem from minor things like leaving washing up in the sink or forgetting to put the toilet seat down. But usually, these aren't the end of the world. However, when you're stuck inside all day with your partner, having more interactions than usual, even the smallest thing can send you over the edge. That, on top of financial pressure, uncertainty, disruption of routine, trying to homeschool kids and a change in roles can make everything feel like one giant shit show at the moment.  If you are struggling with your partner right now, I want you to know you're not alone - many of my clients are experiencing heightened tensions - and I'm getting a LOT of people reach out to me to ask for help. This is going to be make or break time for many relationships. I want this to be a "make it" time for you. A time that brings you even closer and shows you just how much you mean to each other. Today I'm sharing with you some practical tips to help you navigate this rollercoaster of a time, like: Set boundaries on your time and attention Do your best to manage the kids together Try to keep structure and routine Be mindful of your own emotions + how you communicate Aim for empathy + understanding Continue to have 'couple time' together Reach out for other support Understand that your sex life might be affected Stay safe and take excellent care of yourselves and each other! We are all going to come out of this stronger than we ever thought possible.

Orgasms are great for everyone involved! They reduce stress, keep your skin healthy, improve circulation... oh and they feel amazing! Some orgasms are explosive, others a light tingling sensation. But there's one orgasm that's got everyone talking: The G-spot orgasm. It's likely at some point you would have heard about the G-spot, mainly because of all the speculation about whether it actually exists but one thing is for sure, once you'll find it, you'll never look back!  In this episode, I'll be sharing: What exactly the G-spot is - and whether or not everyone has one How you find the G-spot  My personal tips on experiencing G-spot pleasure, and How to experience the magic of a G-spot orgasm!  Whether you're the owner of a G-spot or you love someone who is - this episode is going to change your life, my love!  Resources Click HERE and HERE for details of the two vibrators I mention (available from www.Blissfor Women.com).

It's no secret that I believe in the power of Tantra to help us change our lives and have incredible intimacy. Tantra has been my personal spiritual practice for over 10 years and I've used it to help transform the lives of thousands of people I've worked with. One of the most powerful teachings of Tantra for me, has been the incredible feelings of love it's helped me open to - and the intimacy I see it create between couples. First and foremost though, Tantra helps us connect more deeply to ourselves - so that we can connect more deeply with a partner. In this episode I'm diving deep into how Tantra can help us deepen intimacy and facilitate our own growth and self-awareness. Joining me is fellow Sexologist and Tantra Teacher, Waratah Kerlue. Waratah works with men, women and couples to inspire greater fulfilment within intimacy, sex, love and life. She's a Sexologist, Intimacy Consultant and Couples Therapist, highly skilled in helping you to achieve contentment, fulfilment and empowerment within sexuality and intimacy. Waratah takes a holistic approach to her work which is grounded in 20 years of mindfulness training, science-based advice and powerful practical tools. She's funny, wise and incredibly compassionate in her approach. Listen in as Waratah and I discuss: The importance of starting with connection to ourselves The questions you need to ask on a first date to discover if someone is right for you Practical steps to discovering what you enjoy sexually The power of giving ourselves permission to ask for what we want in bed - and why that can actually be incredibly sexy How to talk to your partner about improving your relationship and sex life I also open up about a recent experiment I did on another podcast and  Waratah and I share our favourite Tantra practices that you can try with a partner tonight.

One of the most common questions that I get asked as a Tantra teacher and sexologist is: "How can I increase my sexual desire"? It might be that you've felt a steady decrease in desire, your partner has a higher sexual drive than you - or that your partner initiates sex at a time when you're not really in the mood. You might concentrating on something important, in the middle of cooking dinner or just at a point in your cycle where you're not really feeling it. I get it. I've been there too. But there's something powerful - and empowering about being able to connect to our sexual energy and cultivate it at will. Sexual energy is life force energy. When we're connected to it, we feel more energised and alive. We can engage more intimately with a partner and enjoy ourselves more sexually. Today I want to share 5 of my favourite Tantra tools for igniting desire - even when you think you're not in the mood or when you're caught off guard!

Hands up who ACTUALLY does their KEGELS? I think that pelvic floor exercises like kegels are one of those things that as women, we all know we 'should' be doing… But we might not be.  Or, like a lot of women who get in touch with me, you might be doing them, but be unsure if you're doing it right.  I have my own perspectives on pelvic floor exercises, as thankfully, they've always been part of my Tantra practice. In Tantra, we use pelvic floor exercises to help us BALANCE our lower chakras, CONNECT to and cultivate sexual energy and increase our PLEASURE during sex.   But, I wanted to get the low-down from someone who's studied from a western perspective in this area too.  In this episode of Wholehearted, I'm talking to women's Pelvic Floor physiotherapist, Anna Scammell, from The Whole Mother. In this episode, you'll hear: Exactly how we should be doing our kegel exercises according to an expert How we can tell if we're doing them right or not The different ways we should take care of our pelvic floor before, during and after pregnancy - and why this matters even if we're not planning on having kids.  And you'll also get Anna's perspective on Vaginal eggs AND being able to weight lift coconuts!    LISTEN to the full episode THEN pass it onto your girlfriends, 'cause they need to hear this too!

The very first time I walked into a Tantra workshop, I don't think I was nervous. I don't think I knew enough about Tantra to be nervous! I really didn't know what Tantra was. I knew that it was spiritual - and that it had something to do with sex… but that was about it!  I would later learn that Tantra is a spiritual practice and a form of yoga and meditation.  Tantra totally changed my life and, in my journey to learn more about it, I ended up teaching.  Tantra is still part of what I do. Sometimes I share Tantra, but don't necessarily call it Tantra. I use it with my clients at times to help couples stop arguments or to reconnect in the bedroom again. It can help women learn to orgasm for the first time, help stop sex being painful or help women feel more confident in their sexuality. When I mention Tantra to people - I get a whole lot of mixed responses.  Some people are excited and want to know more.  Some say 'Oh Tantra - right, I've heard that Sting does Tantra and he has sex for 9 hours'.  I even once had a client say - 'Omg, Tantra? Isn't that group sex?'  So, if you've heard me mention Tantra and aren't sure what it is - don't worry. In this episode I'm going to share: What exactly Tantra is (and clear up some of the myths and misconceptions around it) 6 ways Tantra can help you have mind-blowing sex How Tantra can help you have a more loving, connected, harmonious relationship And how you can use Tantra in your own life, right away. I look forward to sharing this with you. If you'd like to learn even more about Tantra, why not sign up for my next online Tantra workshop?

Our culture gives us a lot of screwed up messages around gender, intimacy and sex. I often focus on how these messages and our lack of education impact women and their relationship to their bodies and sex, but these messages affect men too - just in different ways.  I was super excited to explore this from a man's perspective by interviewing Cam Fraser for this episode of Wholehearted.  Cam Fraser, or THE Cam Fraser as he's known on Instagram is a Certified Professional Sex Coach, Certified Sexologist, Registered Counsellor, and Registered Tantric Yoga Teacher. His work integrates scientifically validated, medically accurate information about sexual health, with sacred sexuality teachings from the mystery traditions.  As a coach, he helps men go beyond surface-level sex and into full-bodied, self-expressed, pleasure-oriented sexual experiences free of anxiety or shame.  In this episode Cam and I discuss: What Cam wishes women really understood about men and sex Why men need to engage with our cultural conditioning around masculinity for deeper sexual pleasure and fulfilling relationships How you can get a man to open up more emotionally How to start a conversation with your partner about learning Tantra and improving your sex life or letting him know if you want more foreplay. I absolutely loved this conversation with Cam and I know you will too.  LISTEN in then pass it on to the MEN you love - they deserve to hear this too!

Have you ever found that you can't stop THINKING during sex? Many women struggle to 'switch off' and enjoy themselves when they're making love. They think about their performance, wonder if they're doing the 'right thing', worry about their body - or even think about all the things they have to DO. It stops you enjoying yourself and gets in the way of intimacy. Today you'll hear 5 practical tools that you can use TODAY to get out of your head and into your body in bed.
