Love, Sex & Freedom Podcast

What does it mean to live as a Priestess in today’s world? Not in theory. Not in performance. But in breath. In choice. In the way you meet yourself. In this episode, Sascha Martineau, a Certified Tantra Practitioner of the Embodied Awakening Academy and Vocal Alchemist, joins Sydelle Boscarello for a deep and real conversation on feminine embodiment, emotional truth, and the lived path of devotion. This is not a how-to.  It’s an invitation.  To slow down.  To feel more.  To remember who you are beneath the masks. In this episode they discuss: * How the Priestess awakens through pain, presence, and pleasure * Learning to listen to your womb, your breath, and your body * Reclaiming sensuality without making it a performance * What to do when people-pleasing pulls you out of your power * The shadow side of the Priestess: superiority, avoidance, isolation * How to return to your truth when the world feels loud * Why embodiment is about feeling fully, not doing perfectly This episode is for the woman who knows there’s something deeper calling her, even if she doesn’t have the words for it yet. For the one who has been carrying the weight of other people’s expectations, shrinking her truth, or performing what she thinks sacredness should look like. If you’ve felt numb in your body, disconnected from your sensuality, or unsure how to trust yourself again, this is your sign to pause and tune in.  Let this conversation be a mirror, a remembering, a return. Press play and come home to what’s already inside you. Quotes from the episode: > “The Priestess is not outside of you. She lives in your breath. In how you touch the world.” > > “Your power isn’t in how much you do. It’s in how deeply you feel.” > > “Sensuality isn’t performance. It’s presence.” If you're feeling called to walk this path, here are some resources for you: Join the Waitlist to our Guided Tantra Practitioner Training: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/tantra-practitioner-training/ [https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/tantra-practitioner-training/] Or enroll in the Self Paced Tantra Practitioner Training: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/ [https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/] ----- Explore our in-person events and online courses:  www.embodiedawakeningacademy.com [https://www.embodiedawakeningacademy.com] Connect with Sascha: Instagram: @saschamartineau Website: https://www.saschamartineau.com [https://www.saschamartineau.com] Connect with Sydelle: Instagram: @sydelle.leora [https://www.instagram.com/sydelle.leora?igsh=djRsaGdzeDBwb2Rh&utm_source=qr]

If you're pouring your heart into your work but still feel blocked when it comes to money...  If part of you believes you have to struggle to be of service...  If you're waiting for a bigger following, a better offer, or the perfect moment to finally receive what you're worth... This episode is here to shift that. In this conversation, Tara and Chantelle speak on the real stories and beliefs that keep coaches, practitioners, and space-holders stuck in lack. What comes up is not just mindset. It's nervous system patterning. It's ancestral. It's spiritual programming. And it’s ready to be seen. This is for you if: - You’ve been holding back from charging what you know your work is worth - You feel shame or stress every time you spend money - You have inconsistent clients or income, even though you're doing everything "right" - You want to grow your business in a way that feels rooted, not performative - You’re ready to feel safe receiving love, money and support in your body Excerpts from this episode: > “The more I spent on what nourished me, the more money came in. Not because I forced it. Because I felt safe to receive.” > > “Your beliefs don’t live in your mind. They live in your body. You shift them by feeling them, not thinking about them.” > > “Fifty followers is still fifty people. The numbers are not the problem. Hiding is.” Resources: 👉 Self-Paced Practitioner Training: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/ [https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/] 🌀 Guided Practitioner Training Waitlist  – Join Here: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/pt-2026-waitlist-page/ [https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/pt-2026-waitlist-page/]

Tantra isn’t just a practice—it’s a profound invitation to reclaim your aliveness. In this excerpt from "Tantra Unveiled - Masterclass", Tara and Raven explore the ancient wisdom of Tantra, a path that dissolves the barriers between mind, body, and spirit. Often misunderstood as being solely about sexuality, Tantra is a sacred tradition that invites you to embrace every part of your human experience—joy, pain, desire, and grief—without judgment. It’s not about fixing yourself or striving for perfection; it’s about rediscovering the innate wholeness and vitality that already exists within you. Through breath, movement, and connection, Tantra teaches us how to fully inhabit our bodies and emotions. It invites us to let go of societal conditioning that numbs us and suppresses our natural instincts. Imagine a life where pleasure and pain coexist harmoniously, where your sexuality becomes a source of healing rather than shame, and where every moment is an opportunity to feel deeply alive. Tantra asks one radical question: Can you fully be yourself? This episode explores: * Why Tantra is the key to unlocking deep healing and emotional freedom * How embracing your emotions leads to profound transformation * The power of slowing down and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom * Why sexuality is not separate from spirituality but a potent tool for awakening If you’re ready to break free from numbness, shame, or disconnection—and step into a life of vitality and authenticity—this is your invitation. Join us at the next Tantra retreat or dive deeper into this sacred practice. It’s time to ignite your inner fire and live fully alive. Are you ready?  Quotes from this episode: "Tantra isn’t about trying to be anything—it’s about riding the waves of aliveness. The end of all trying is the beginning of true freedom." "Trauma doesn’t live in the mind; it lives in the body. When we allow our emotions to move freely, we release what isn’t love and invite pleasure into our lives."
