Shownotes The story behind the quasi-cheating incident that ended the relationship Why Ryan and Layla’s first kiss went horribly wrong How to take full responsibility for your actions and impact on others Why Ryan showed up at the Stanford campus in a full-on chicken costume How radical love is different than self-sacrificing What Ryan and Layla learned from opening their relationship Bio Ryan Cheney is a therapist, seeker, and guide devoted to the process of inner transformation. Based in Austin, TX, he works with individuals and couples to uncover what stands in the way of lasting change – and how to meet those blocks with presence, compassion, and courage. His work is deeply rooted in Internal Family Systems and a profound curiosity about how people evolve. Before turning his focus inward, Ryan was the founder of Raaka Chocolate, a Brooklyn-based bean-to-bar company built on transparency and ethical sourcing. But his truest calling lies in the inner landscapes: the quiet, tender spaces where real healing happens. His path has been shaped by deep inquiry, spiritual practice, and a love for the moments when people reconnect with the truth of who they are. Ryan believes transformation doesn’t have to be a battle – it can be a remembering. He’s most alive when exploring the alchemy of change, the courage it requires, and the unexpected grace that can come when we stop striving and start listening.

Shownotes Why pure play is so important in healing The importance of trusting the pace of your body A simple practice to make emotions conscious Why relational wounding is healed in relationship How to access your partner’s deepest magic What you can do to become more magnetic Bio Starielle Hope is a relationship and intimacy coach who specializes in working with people who have found success in their careers, but struggle to find the same success in relationships. She grew up in a constant state of loneliness that she thought was normal because it was all she had ever known. After feeling terribly isolated because connecting with others didn’t come naturally to her, she experienced a wakeup call in her early 20s when I learned that, not only was this not normal, but she could actually learn how to connect more deeply with others just as she could learn any other skill. So she set out to reverse engineer connection and intimacy for herself. Along the way, she discovered that she has a unique talent for taking abstract emotional concepts and breaking them down into tangible, step-by-step processes that those who are more comfortable in their logical/rational minds (like Starielle) can understand and adopt. Learning how to connect more deeply with others has improved her happiness and well-being more than anything else she’s ever done, and she absolutely loves sharing what she’s learned along the way. Starielle has been doing this work for over a decade now and loves every minute of it. She currently shares the knowledge she’s gathered through one-on-one coaching and online courses and will be publishing her first book later this year.

All the different lies we’ve been told about sex How Melanie is redefining the conversation about sex over 60 5 Easy keys to make your own sex room Bio Melanie Rose's career in show business began at the young age of 13, when she starred in the original musical "Annie" as Tessie and went on to have a successful career in the West End musical scene, performing in productions such as "Annie Get Your Gun," "Dames At Sea," and "42nd Street," alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones. She has also worked on television projects with the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4. In 2000, Melanie moved to Hollywood, California, and started her interior design company, Melanie Rose Designs. She specialized in high-profile, discreet renovations for a mainly entertainment industry-based clientele, then began focusing on creating sacred spaces, also known as sacred rooms, for an eclectic group of clients. More recently, Melanie has started writing a series of erotic novels based on her real-life experiences as a designer. While she insists that the protagonist of the series, Lily Langtry, is not based on her, it is clear that they share many similarities. Melanie’s novels are represented by Kaitlyn Dougherty at Paradigm and the television rights to her "Indecent" series of novels have already been acquired. A television script based on the first book led to the creation of the non-fiction Netflix series, "How to Build a Sex Room," which Melanie not only created but also hosts.

Mama Gena believes women are the most powerful untapped natural resource on the planet, and that as people of all genders reclaim the magnificence of the feminine, the patriarchy will fall away, liberating us all. She’s dedicated her work to women, specifically, because Regena knows Woman. And while Woman is an expansive concept (there are so many ways to be a woman), those of us who identify as women are connected through a common global experience of oppression. We live in a culture that shames our bodies, rebukes our emotionality, fears our sexuality, violates our safety, and makes us wrong for having feminine aspects, for being women at all. In her classroom and through her books, Mama Gena shares our foremothers’ knowledge and embodied wisdom from pre-patriarchal times, the thousands and thousands of years when goddess culture (and pleasure) reigned. She shifts the way women hold their sexuality and identities, both individually and culturally.
