How To Be Alone with Heather Pennell
Tuesday Mar 31, 2020
Tuesday Mar 31, 2020
Now more than ever, we're being asked to be alone. We're being asked to spend time indoors and away from our loved ones. We've never been in this position before. Which is why it's more important than ever to take this opportunity to care for ourselves like never before.
Heather Pennell is a guide, facilitator, and healer. And she knows a thing or two about being alone. We go deep on how to lean into love, how to be peaceful and happy in our solitude, and how to set ourselves up for that eventual relationship.
This episode isn't just for the single folks. It's for everyone who wants to develop a better relationship with themselves. This work will pay dividends for the rest of your life, and in all your relationships.
What you'll learn (or why you should care):
• How being of service can get you out of your head and into your heart
• How to be in right relationship with your emotions
• The importance of getting your needs met outside of your primary romantic relationship.

Take a Break, Dude
Tuesday Mar 03, 2020
Tuesday Mar 03, 2020
Everyone needs a break, even you. Rest is crucial to growth. If you're working overtime trying to fix, solve, or improve a situation in your life, sometimes a break is what's needed.
Take a step back, put the sword down, and relax. Let time do what it needs to do and relax into the present moment.
And while you do that, I'll join you. The Love Drive is taking March off from publishing podcasts. I'll continue to write and publish micro-blogs on Instagram and on my newsletter. Consider joining me there until April.
And don't worry, I have some incredible conversations that I'm excited to release in April. Happy March, lovebird.

Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
Welcome to the most intimate episode of the podcast, yet. Sophie Josephina is a conscious sex and intimacy coach and we go deep on the paradox of masculine and feminine energies and their roles in modern relationships.

What you'll learn (or why you should care):
• How to hold space for difficult emotions (including men crying)
• How to be in service while staying in your masculine power
• How women can learn to relax into their feminine while staying safe

Focus on Pleasure Rather Than Orgasm
Tuesday Feb 18, 2020
Tuesday Feb 18, 2020
Let's create an environment for an orgasm to come and go as it pleases, rather than being hyper-focused on the orgasm itself. Pleasure and connection is the main goal of lovemaking, not orgasm. Orgasm is a by-product of desire, arousal, safety, intimacy, and pleasure.

How to Talk about Sexual Health
Tuesday Feb 04, 2020
Tuesday Feb 04, 2020
You are 100% responsible for your sexual health. And when you care for your own, you care for your partner's sexual health as well.
If you can't talk about sexual health, you shouldn't be having sex. But don't worry. Talking about it doesn't have to be so scary, especially when you have the exact script to use.
Oh, and let's not forget that being confident talking about sex is a huge turn on.
