Ever wonder how "wellness culture" got so messed up? In this episode, we sat down with Herbalist and activist Miriam Latif (aka @___understory) to do a deep dive into how Wellness and Wellness Culture exists in our contemporary world, how it got to be so focused on consuming, and how to move back to a place of connectedness and true, authentic wellness both on the individual and communal level. Miriam shared with us about how she navigates being a practitioner in the wellness world while also holding her values and intentions in a place of connection to land, to community, to mythology, and to authenticity, with a super raw sense of groundedness and realism. We are SO excited for you to dive into this one, and to reflect on your relationship to wellness and what wellness means to you with us. As always, we'd super appreciate if you could drop us a comment, a like, a review, and a good old tap on the subscribe button to help us continue this beautiful, beloved Bloom journey.

We're back with another yap BloomSquad!We caught up after Taylor was sick and Emma found a new apartment to discuss what we can learn form using small mugs and staying present while drinking tea, the fallacies of "being chosen" in 2000's romcoms, and what we can learn about dating and relationships from Sex and The City. We love you! Thanks for being here!Tay & EmmaSong: Flower Wall by Cospe

Calling all men and people that love men, this episode is for you!We got the privilege of speaking to Male Sexuality Coach and Sex Educator Cam Fraser, about all things sensuality for men.

What's your relationship to being ugly?This yap, we got started by discussing our cycles (as always) and Taylor's recent move to a new apartment, which inspired a discussion of "clean girl aesthetic" and palatability, shrinking ourselves, and the fear of being seen as ugly or imperfect. "We have to learn to be okay wth being ugly in order to know that we are always beautiful.

The Coven is back Bloomies!We loved our group episode so much last season that we decided we simply had to bring it back this year, but this time we discussed all things anger and rage. Joining us are Holly, Sarah, Anjali, Carissa, and Dubinia, who all have unique relationships to anger, and each have a gorgeous, personal story to tell around how they alchemize their anger and learn to exist in relationship to it. Discussing ancestral anger, the somatic experience of anger, the wisdom of anger, and how we can work with our anger, not against it, this chat really went there with us, and we're so excited to hear how it resonates for you.

Welcome back to YapTime! Our full moon release where we just yap about everything & nothing.In this yap you can expect to hear about Emma elaborating on what came up for her during Spiralling, her current fixation on redefining "success", Taylor telling tales of being inner winter at a queer sex festival, and how sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves for decisions and just need to be a bit boring and not think about what advice we would give our daughter.

What does Sex Magic mean to you?We found the best human out there to help us explore this concept and get down to what it means to us - Nadia Lune. Nadia Lune is The Pleasure Witch, and she joined us for this very special conversation to offer us a glimpse into her world of ritual, ecstasy, pleasure, spirit, and self-liberation, to help us explore our own power and life force energy, with pleasure as the medium. We discussed how to build a consensual relationship to our own body, how to tune into, and speak to, our bodies, how to maintain consistent connection with spirit and really be intentional about prioritizing our practices, how to move beyond traditional expectations of what sex should look like, and how to build more capacity for the full spectrum of the human experience. There’s so much more in here, it really was a JUICY one. To connect with Nadia’s work, visit her website here or find her on Instagram. And if this episode was as powerful to you as it was to us, it would mean the world to us if you could either join our patreon OR subscribe to our channel, like this episode, leave us a review, or share this episode with a friend that you think would love it too. And, as always, find us at @fullbloom_pod on Instagram to stay updated.

Welcome back Bloomsquad, we're here again for another month of magical conversation and reminding you that you are a cosmic, sensual, beautiful being. This time the magic is super real, because we got to sit down with Andy (they/them) of Saint Alchemy, a cosmic wildcrafter based in Alberta, Canada who spends most of their time in deep connection with the Earth. We got to chat with Andi about how to honour the seasons through connection with the Earth, how their practice looks throughout the year, how to decolonize working with nature, how queer identity shows up in herbalism, and so so much more. Truly, this chat felt like stirring the cauldron, and we can't wait for you all to meet this gorgeous human. Find Andi on Instagram at @saint.alchemy.

We're back for the Virgo New Moon with another gorgeous episode all about the power of sex education, with very special guest Alysha Somerton. Alysha is a queer sex educator and youth care worker based in Vancouver, Canada, and we got to sit down with her to get curious about her experience teaching sex education in high schools, how it looks to teach youth sex ed from a pleasure-based, inclusive, queer lens, and how this differs from her work and experiences with adults. We also got to chat about useful sex ed resources, how to get curious and provide safety, and the importance of personal pleasure practices, gender identity, the fluidity of always becoming more of ourselves, and how to relax and sink into the beauty of our ever evolving selves. You'll want to grab a pen and paper for this one y'all, we were taking notes for sure! You can find Alysha at @sexeducatoralysha on Instagram, or through her website sexeducatoralysha.ca. As always, please leave us a review, like, rate, and subscribe to this podcast! It means the world to us and really helps us keep going.

We're back for our season four finale, and we wanted to explore what the heck it means when we say slow down. We discuss this idea of slowing down so often in this space and in our circles, but what does it actually look like in practice, and how can we work slowness into our existing lives, as they are filled with routines, responsibilities, commitments, and structured timing? How can we re-claim our time as our own, and what does it look to hold a consent and pleasure-based relationship to our time? We discussed personal practices, intentions, and learning edges for each of us in relationship to slowness and time, and we're so excited to take this time over the holidays to integrate some of the learning from this conversation. And we're extending a big, slow, soft invite for you all to do the same, Bloomers! Take some time to reflect on what slowness looks and feels like for you, and how more slowness can be integrated into your current life. We can't wait to hear from you in the new year, see you in 2025! Love always, Tay & Emma Song: Flower Wall by Cospe Tarot Deck: NeoTarot by Jerico Mandybur

It's just the two of us for this special Leo session episode, and we're talking about the death of the chill girl, the good girl, the cool girl, the nice girl - all of the masks we wear, all of the ways we have been taught to shrink ourselves, suppress our needs, and minimize our aliveness in order to be accepted, palatable, "easy" and digestible to the world around us. We're saying "F*CK THAT" to shrinking ourselves any longer, thanking our inner Chill Girl for her service, and laying her to rest. Who's with us?! It's Leo time, which means being our biggest, baddest, loudest and proudest selves, and the Chill Girl can take a back seat while we roar! Get into it, let us know what you think, leave a review, don't be chill! Tell us everything! Love always, Emma & Tay ~ Song: Flower Wall by Cospe Tarot: Neo Tarot by Jerico Mandybur
