The Dark Mirror within Sacred Sexuality

A Story of Transition, Truth & Transformation with Kora Delta

Kora Delta is a fiery and courageous 24 year old transgender woman in the military. Kora shares her raw, powerful experience of transition- the struggles, the resilience , and her unwavering pursuit of authenticity. This conversation isn't about easy answers; its about truth, complexity, and the courage it takes to become who we truly are. This episode was so far the most challenging yet deeply important conversation i've had. With my own lingering uncertainties around this topic, stepping into Koras story required openness, vulnerability, and a willingness to sit with discomfort. Koras fierce intensity, deep compassion, and sharp insight are not for the faint of heart. I hope you enjoy this conversation and leave with a deeper sense of compassion for each of our unique journeys of self-discovery. * For anyone interested Kora has a Google doc with an expansive list of resources she is happy to share.

The Dark Mirror within Sacred Sexuality

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Mendez, a Holistic Sexual Health & Intimacy Coach, for a raw and transformative conversation about breaking taboos around intimacy and sacred sexuality. Amanda vulnerably shares her journey through awkward sexual experiences in her youth, an open marriage, and the lessons that led her to empower others in discovering true intimacy—first within themselves and then in sacred connection with others. This conversation is a powerful invitation to heal, grow, and reclaim your authentic self. Tune in for wisdom, inspiration, and a deeply healing energetic experience.

The Dark Mirror as Suppression of Truth

In this episode, the lovely and grounded Frankie Socash—a Wild Embodiment Mentor and Somatic Facilitator—courageously shares her shadow journey, rooted in old childhood programming. She dives into a shadow that permeates not just personal experience but also collective spaces: the suppression of our truth. Frankie opens up about the recurring dreams she’s had since childhood, dreams that urged her to confront her fears and embark on the hard but transformative work of self-discovery. Through this process, she uncovered deep insights into her inner world and began healing the suppression and habitual patterns that once held her back. As a result, she reached a more profound understanding of herself, her needs, and how to meet them—ultimately reclaiming her power and honoring the wisdom of her body and spirit.
