  • Healing Sexuality After Trauma: A Body-Based Approach with Jayden Aubryn

    Healing Sexuality After Trauma: A Body-Based Approach with Jayden Aubryn
    Feb 18 2026

    This week we sit down with Jayden Aubryn- a trauma-informed therapist, holistic health coach, personal trainer, and movement specialist who works at the intersection of mental health, movement, sexuality, and spirituality. We explore how to reclaim pleasure, consent, and agency after trauma… and why BDSM might be a surprising tool for healing.

    In this conversation, we dive into:

    • Why learning to relax is essential for sexual wellness (and how to actually do it)
    • Reclaiming sexual agency and defining sexuality on your own terms
    • The connection between ancestral trauma and sexual liberation
    • Practical tools for reconnecting with sensation in everyday life


    This is about learning to listen to your body again and redefining sensuality and sexuality on your own terms.

  • When Love Meets Loss: Rachel Eliza Griffiths on Grief, Art, and Survival.

    When Love Meets Loss: Rachel Eliza Griffiths on Grief, Art, and Survival.
    Feb 4 2026

    What happens when your best day collides with your worst?

    In this conversation, we sit down with poet and author Rachel Eliza Griffiths to discuss her memoir The Flower Bearers.

    Rachel shares the story of her wedding day, which became both the best and worst day of her life when she learned of her closest friend Aisha's sudden passing.

    Together we explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the power of our chosen sisterhood, and what it looks like to survive multiple traumas within months.

    Rachel opens up about navigating anger, shame, and eventually healing, while honoring the love that sustains us through unimaginable loss. We talk about resilience and the courage it takes to choose joy even in the midst of profound grief.
