Sex and Laughter with Debbie Scheer

In this week’s podcast, I’m talking with my friend the hilarious Debbie Scheer, humorist, emcee, auctioneer and professional speaker, on the power of humor to discuss taboo topics.

By using humor to educate listeners, Debbie finds lightness without making light of sensitive topics like parenting, transracial adoption, mental wellness, sexuality, GLBTQ, and more so people can feel both vulnerable and safe, allowing them to relax and have a much deeper, inspiring, and thought-shifting experience.
“Many people move through the world believing there are topics that you shouldn’t talk about at work or anywhere else for that matter. 
✅Race
✅Religion
✅Politics
✅Sexuality & identity
…the list goes on and on.

I get it AND here is the reality.

 

We ARE already talking about these topics and we are doing it everywhere. And sadly the way we are choosing to engage in these conversations is not healthy or healing. Like at all!

 

So why wouldn’t we want to learn HOW to have these conversations in the most productive ways possible?
Will it be easy?
HECK NO!
Will it be worth it?
HECK YES! Like 100% YES!

This is the work I do and I do it because I believe in it with every fiber of my being. I work with people who want to learn how to engage in conversations that will move them forward because that is what the world needs in order to start to heal our collective wounds.

 

Talking about these oftentimes polarizing topics can be challenging and that’s ok. I believe that we can talk about ANYTHING if we infuse the conversation with more heart and humor.

 

Conversations that cause you discomfort can lead to amazing growth, and that growth can lead to strong connections, and those connections do in fact lead to healthier communities. And if we aren’t here trying to create healthier communities, than what in the heck are we even doing with our limited time on this planet?” – Debbie Scheer
In this episode we laugh, we talk about sex education, dating in your 40, shame around sexuality, some of the questions she gets asked at her SEXCOM show, mental wellness, white privilege, body image and much more.

Healing Patriarchy Stress Disorder™ with Dr. Valerie Rein

This week I’m talking with Dr. Valerie Rein about the hidden triggers that can hold us back as high achieving women.

She is the founder of Her Genius, Inc. She’s discovered the missing link to liberation for high-achieving women. She calls it Patriarchy Stress Disorder™ (PSD) — ancestral, collective, and personal trauma of oppression. Her discovery is based on the cutting-edge scientific evidence of genetic transmission of trauma and over 20,000 hours of experience as a therapist — helping powerful women who did not realize they had trauma history resolve sleep and weight issues, addictions, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems using mind-body-spirit tools for healing trauma. 

This episode is jam-packed with exquisite value, don’t miss it!

Dr. Valerie reveals how Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) shows up in our lives, even if we are unaware.. and it’s not our fault.  PSD is the result of intergenerational trauma, that gest stuck in our bodies.  Let’s face it, oppression is traumatic, and our bodies hold on to that to keep us safe, this is how it is passed on generationally.
It has never been safe to be a woman in this world.  Particularly a powerful woman.  Power of our presence, our desires, being authentically, fully who we are has been dangerous. 

Dr. Valerie defines trauma as an event or circumstance that makes you feel unsafe in the fullest expression of who you are and prevents you from going there again.

 

This shows up emotionally, physically, sexually, the conditioning and messaging we received as we grew up, and because of this most women don’t feel safe fully expressing themselves, feeling fully comfortable in their bodies.
She calls this the invisible inner prison, protected by our inner prison guards.

 

Tune in to discover the 5 steps to move from being in the prison to being a  “Jailbreaker”, and how you can become your own healer.  Learn how to fully stand in your authentic self in all areas of your life, physically, emotionally, financially, sexually, and more.

 

Step 1: Waking Up in Prison

 

Step 2: Meeting the Prison Guards

 

Step 3: Turning the Prison Guards into BodyGuards

 

Step 4: Digging the Tunnel to Freedom

 

Step 5: Savoring Freedom

 

She also reveals how to manage the “Pleasure Police” and live the life of “How Good Can It Get?”

What is dearmoring, and how can it help resolve pain and increase pleasure?

 

What are some simple tools to integrate this work into everyday life?

 

Why sexuality is the final frontier of self empowerment and self improvement.

 

Getting down to our essence, to discover that our gifts have been there all along.

 

And, Understanding that this education is our birthright, it is essential and the final frontier of personal development we are yet to explore…our inner space.

 

“When most people think of fear, we think of pain and fighting, but what I find never ceases to surprise people is that it is along the path of bliss where we encounter what truly scares us most. 

 

This fear is that of meeting our true desires, receiving pleasure, surrendering to it. As opposed to being “too little,” we worry that we may be “too much.” -Aaron Michael

Dr. Keesha helps women discover what is keeping them from feeling amazing so they can live free of stress, fatigue, and pain.  Every woman deserves to be fabulous, fit and free.

She believes strongly that the body should be allowed to heal itself and is conservative in prescribing Western medical drugs.

 

Dr. Keesha has been in the medical field for over 30 years. After conducting the HURT Study in 2013 (Healing Un-Resolved Trauma), she developed the HURT Model for understanding how past childhood trauma impacts adult health.
