Beskrivelse

In this episode of the Oh My Goodness podcast, I open up about the “messy middle” of our goals and growth. I share honestly about running a sold-out coaching practice, joining a mastermind, and realizing I’m at capacity—and how that’s reshaping my goals. I invite you to reflect on your own halfway point: noticing nervous system capacity, to celebrate subtle but profound progress, and release shame-heavy “shoulds.” You’ll hear how my clients and I practice self-trust, aligned goal-setting, and joyful, sustainable growth. This episode offers gentle challenge, nervous-system-aware support, and lots of encouragement to honor how far you’ve truly come.Want to dive in more? Join Embodied in Joy my Free Facebook group!

Ep. 49 Breath, Desire, and Deconstructing Shame with Eva Blake

In this episode of Oh My Goodness, I sit down with the phenomenal Eva Blake, a somatic sex educator and liberator of desire. Together we talk about sex, shame, purity culture, perimenopause, and what it actually means to want more from your life and your body. Eva brings so much grounded wisdom on breath, nervous system safety, and how to untangle your true desires from the stories you were handed. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it okay to want this?” or “Am I broken?”, this conversation is a big, loving permission slip just for you. Eva’s Bio:  Eva Blake is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Sex Educator, and transformational coach with nearly two decades at the intersection of erotic intelligence, nervous system attunement, and liberation. She has been a pro domme, a sex worker, and a community priestess. She has worked across the full map of erotic and relational life: BDSM and kink, polyamory, orgasm and women's sexual power, rebuilding trust after rupture, visionary erotic leadership. If it lives in the body or between two people, she has been there. Her clients are high-performing women and couples who have built extraordinary lives — and whose beds have gone quiet, whose chemistry has flattened into routine, whose sex life has become the one place ambition doesn't reach. She works where most coaches won't: at the collision point between personal pattern and cultural architecture, between the nervous system and the systems that shaped it. Patriarchy colonizes desire. Eva's work liberates it. Her methodology, Desire, Body, Voice, is somatic, systemic, and unsparing. Clients come when fine is no longer enough. They stay because the work works.  Find her at: www.liberatingdesire.com, facebook.com/liberatingdesire IG: @DesireEvaBlake My 1:1 containers are currently sold out, but you can be on the waitlist for when spots open in August, just send me an email at TheJoyWeaver@gmail.com  Let's connect: Facebook: ⁠The Joy Weaver⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/TheJoyWeaver/] Facebook Group: ⁠Embodied In Joy⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/embodiedinjoy] Instagram: ⁠TheJoyWeaver⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/thejoyweaver] TikTok: ⁠The.Joy.Weaver⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@the.joy.weaver] Youtube: ⁠The Joy Weaver [https://www.youtube.com/thejoyweaver]

Ep. 48 Imposter Syndrome and How I Move Through it

In this episode, I’m getting real about imposter syndrome—the “who do I think I am?” spiral—and how I keep showing up anyway. I share stories from teaching henna and tarot, what I’ve learned about honoring cultural roots, and why natural henna and intentional adornment matter. You’ll hear how I use Tarot as a tool for intuition, not fortune-telling, and why joy, consent, and integrity are non-negotiable in my work. You’ll walk away with practical questions to ask yourself, a reminder to gather evidence of your brilliance, and permission to trust the quiet knowing in your own body.  My 1:1 containers are currently sold out, but you can be on the waitlist for when spots open in August.

Ep.47 What to do when Resistance Crashes the Joy Party

On this podcast episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to live a joyful, absurd, embodied life while still being a human with resistance, doubt, and a messy brain. I share stories from my own burnout, healing, travel, ADHD, spiritual practices, and daily rituals—plus the tools I use with clients to navigate shame, “it’s too late,” perfectionism, and people-pleasing. We explore joy as an experiment, how to listen to your body, lower the bar, and find access points that feel doable. Think practical magic: real feelings, real tools, lots of glitter, and zero pretending everything’s fine.

Ep. 46 Travel Habits, Routines, and Feeling like me on the Road

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what actually happens to my habits when I travel. Spoiler: I do not keep my strict Mississippi routine of 4:30 a.m. gym, 12-step, journaling, and early bedtime—and that’s okay. I walk you through my “Aj minimum requirements” instead: breakfast, meds, a little quiet brain-boot-up time, some kind of soul care, and feeling like myself in my body and my clothes. This is your gentle permission slip to loosen your grip, stay flexible, and ask, “What do I need today to show up fully as me while I’m traveling?” Come join us in Absurdist Delight: A Summer of Reckless Joy we have 4 spots left!!

Ep. 45 When You’re Not in the Mood for Joy: Sliding the scale and 5% effort

In this episode of Oh My Goodness, I’m inviting you into the messy middle of “I’m not in the mood for joy.” I walk you through my very real, very rainy Pride day—how I almost stayed home, what actually got me out the door, and why “doing the least” can still count as big joy. We’ll talk about joy resistance, all-or-nothing thinking, stretchy affirmations, and treating yourself like a tender little toddler instead of a drill sergeant. If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or feeling “meh,” this one’s your cozy permission slip to try just 5% more joy.  Come join us in Absurdist Delight: A Summer of Reckless Joy we have 4 spots left!!
