Welcome to meet your sacred slut, she’s been WAITING for you.  Ashamed of your past and consciously or subconsciously living a life where you keep things secret, hidden or denied? Hate the question ‘what’s your body count’? And don’t know how to handle the answer. Harboring any type of shame, regret, or guilt? In this sensitive and vulnerable episode, join Christina Zayas as she courageously opens up about her journey of overcoming childhood sexual trauma and transitioning through adult sex working and escorting to reclaim her love, truth and every part of herself and her sacred sensuality that she once denied. Together, Louise & Christina explore: How society teaches us to suppress our truth, sexuality, and shadows, leading to a cycle of avoidance and denial. How denying ourselves mirrors the partners we attract, leading to recurring patterns in our lives. The transformative power of shadow work (and sobriety) in confronting and integrating our darkest aspects, paving the way for stepping into the light. Rediscovering autonomy over one's sexuality and rights to pleasure; As well as taking charge of self-care, self-love, and self-worship and how a sacred pleasure practice plays a huge part in this. Christina candidly shares her own personal experience of reclaiming power, control and compassionate agency in her sexuality and offers actionable steps to initiate a practice of self-care and self-love and even self-worship. This episode invites you to look back at your past with love and gratitude, rather than with shame, regret or anger.  Trigger Warning: this episode discusses sexual abuse and substance abuse.

Are you ready to explore the tangled web of daddy issues, toxic masculinity, sexualization, and fantasy bonding?Together, Louise and Stephanie explore all of this and more.  They discuss the reasons that a Father Wound may drive us to date people who are emotionally unavailable or who breadcrumb us, as well as the allure of being the other woman or the "saviour" in a relationship. Louise & Stephanie also examine the alpha male, the wounded masculine and the toxic masculinity and how this can manifest in our relationships negatively (and why we're attracted to it!).The conversation also delves into sexualization, hyper-sexualization, and performance in the bedroom. The hosts discuss the controversial topic of "dick slapping", why we do things we don't want to do, as well as the connection of sex to dopamine, ADHD, and neurodivergency. Other recommended listening episodes to supplement exploring the Father Wound:OPENHOUSE Episode 77 - DADDY ISSUES - Pt. 1 - the 'Emotionally Unavailable' FatherOPENHOUSE Episode 82 - DADDY ISSUES - Pt. 2 - Hyper-independence & overachievingStream the full OPENHOUSE catalogue here on Spotify and here on Apple Podcasts.–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ⠀  Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball⠀  Follow Louise (The Therapy Girl) on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__⠀  Connect with OPENHOUSE: @openhouselife⠀  Connect with Stephanie on Instagram: @stephanietherapy⠀  Connect with Stephanie on TikTok: @loveandtherapy––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Music Sources⠀ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud⠀ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXsY
