What leads to the spark dying down? How can you stoke the fire and bring back the flame - in a fun and playful way?

In this episode, I share a sample story of a couple who’s passion and romance faded over time… and the specific ways James & I helped them revive the spark.

One of the main ways we help couples is by bringing the play back into intimacy, predominantly through games. Intimacy games help couples feel on the same team, be open minded to discover each other, and communicate what they like.

Here I share 3 of my favorite games for couples who want to reignite and rediscover each other intimately. Each game takes 10 min or less - but can radically shift your erotic life.

Let me know how the games go afterwards via email (megandlambert@gmail.com) or via Instagram (@megandlambert). Wishing you a fun and playful exploration with your partner!

What actually happens at a couples retreat?! Who goes to a retreat? What do people learn?

In this episode, my husband James Mattingley and I share about our most recent couples’ retreat in Bali. This was the third couples retreat we’ve hosted together, and like each one so far, it was full of lessons for ourselves and for the couples.

We talk about the type of people who attend couples’ retreats, what these couples were looking for, and some of the surprising twists and turns this retreat took.

We shared our favorite topics and a-ha moments from the retreat, from the myth of low libido to a body-based approach to navigating conflict in relationships, as well as one of the key skills we teach - how to spark the passion in long-term love.

I hope you find this episode useful! If you’d like to join us on a future retreat, our next one is Dec 1-4th, 2023 in Bali. You can find more info on it here: www.integratedintimacy.co/retreat.

We’re backkk! The first episode with Londin Angel Winters was so powerful (listen to it here), that we immediately recorded a follow-up episode - this time centered on motherhood.

If you don’t yet know Londin, she is an expert on the path of sacred devotional intimacy, having taught about sexuality, masculine / feminine dynamics, and the art of surrender for over 12 years. She is a true role model in this field and my former relationship mentor.

In this episode, she shares about the pain of multiple miscarriages and how she (unexpectedly!) conceived at 47 years old, and had a successful home birth at 48 years old.

We explore the profoundly spiritual aspects of giving birth, and what pregnancy and birth taught us about surrender, the power of the female body, and trusting the divine. We explore the intricate connections between birth, death, and sexuality.

She shares about breaking the chains of old ways of parenting, and letting your child be your greatest spiritual teacher.

We dive into intimacy and sex after baby - why so many moms lose interest in sex - and how postpartum actually represents a profound initiation into sacred sexuality and intimate depth, if both people are willing to uplevel together.

Lastly, we end by talking about the purpose of motherhood - to give love in a way you never received - and how anchoring into that purpose can provide meaning, even in challenging motherhood moments.

Meet Michelle Etchison - queen of naughty content, self-expression guide, breathwork facilitator and overall badass entrepreneur. She became a friend of mine through a mastermind, where I learned about her journey of healing her autoimmune disease through pleasure and self-expression.

At only 23 years old, she found herself struggling with an autoimmune disease that left her frail and weak. Through reconnecting with her inner voice, expressing herself boldly, and exploring her pleasure, she has completely healed. These days, you’ll find her doing sensual dance, EFT, or breathwork, posting about her happy hoe life on Instagram, and being vibrantly, radiantly healthy.

In this episode, we explore the wisdom of our bodies - how autoimmune disease is a wake-up call for parts of our souls to come alive. We look at pleasure, and the ways pleasure helps our body become a safe place to be. Lastly, we explore Michelle’s roots as a child of immigrants, and how her cultural heritage informs her work today.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Ever wonder if there is a more empowering and holistic way to view health challenges? Ever feel like modern medicine is missing a big piece of the puzzle, especially for women?

In this episode with integrative health practitioner, Bindi Stables, we look at the root cause of chronic illness, disease, and body dysfunction, particularly when it comes to women’s bodies.

Bindi shares her inspiring story of healing from daily seizures to thriving health, and how she found medical answers in unexpected places (ex: emotions, intuition, and ayuveda).

We look at the most common health problem she helps women with - their menstrual cycles - and how this seemingly simple aspect of being a woman reveals much deeper patterns in our lives, as well as an invitation to an entirely new way of living.

We also look at how our relationship to our menstrual cycle reflects our relationship to the feminine, and nature as a whole. Powerful stuff! I got chills many times during this episode because I believe this is such an important conversation. I hope you enjoy it!

Do you struggle to receive? Do you wish your partner did more thoughtful things for you?

In this joint episode with my husband, James Mattingley, I share about the biggest gift I’ve ever received - and what it’s taught me about the art of giving & receiving in romantic relationships.

James recently spent several months renovating my office! And in that process, I learned so much about the voices in my head that block my receiving  (“Do I deserve this? I don’t need anything so beautiful…”), as well as the magic I saw in my relationship when I opened to receive this gift graciously.

By sharing this story of learning to receive more fully, I hope you get a golden nugget for yourself around what it means to receive, what stands in the way, and how to open more fully to the love that is, always, all around.

Grab a cup of tea and settle in for this is an intimate solo episode together, where I share my personal updates, and a shift I’ve noticed in my work lately towards more softness and just being - rather than pushing and doing.

I open up about identity challenges this change has brought up for me - as well as how I knew it was time to let go of online coaching for now. I share about listening to my body for deeper wisdom, and trusting those messages even when they don’t “make sense”.

Sacrifice is a big theme in the episode too - consciously deciding what I do NOT do is as important as what I will do.

Lastly I share a tangible practice you can take with you to identify your own values and priorities - and align your life behind them. I hope you find this episode useful for your own journey!

This might be one of my favorite episodes yet. It’s a profound interview with my mentor, Londin Angel Winters, where we explore, “How do you create a passionate partnership after decades together? What’s required to continue growing and deepening with your lover through having a child, starting a business, and navigating uncertainty?”

Londin is one of the wisest - yet playful! - women I know, and this episode is packed full of a-ha moments around intimacy, love, and relationship. In the episode, I bring her 3 typical challenges from my clients, and she responds with deep, life-changing advice for these situations. You may even get something for yourself!

We talk about what surrender *really* is, ways we unconsciously kill polarity and attraction, how to inspire masculine leadership, and how to offer yourself as a gift to your relationship. Londin asks, “How are you going to use your body and your time on earth to awaken conscious love?”

What were you taught about food and your appetite? How is your relationship with your hunger? How do you feel about your body right now?

This is such a hot topic for my female clients right now, so I wanted to dive into it here with you.

In this intimate solo episode, I share with you my personal journey around food, body image, and feminine hunger. I touch on the healthiest aspects of my journey - as well as my dysfunctional habits - and the specific tools I’ve used to “rewild” my relationship with food and my body.

When I watch my 16 month old baby naturally eat what she wants, when she wants, and intuitively follow her own hunger cues… I know that this is our natural state.

Yet so many of us have a far-from-natural relationship with food and our bodies. We may diet, overexercise, binge & purge, obsessively count calories, or restrict ourselves. All of this comes from a “top-down” control of our bodies, rather than a deep trust of our body’s wisdom.

This episode is an invitation back to your natural state, a chance to “rewild” your body, and rediscover what you intuitively know about eating and feminine hunger.

Hey feminine being - do you realize how powerful you are?!

For years, I overworked, overgave, and over-hustled… because I had no idea how naturally and inherently magnetic I was. I didn’t trust the power of my feminine to attract what I wanted - in love, in friendship, in work.

In this potent solo episode, I share about my personal feminine awakening 10 years ago, and my journey into deeper trust with my body, with my longings, and ultimately, with the universe.

I’ll also share the 9 qualities of being magnetic, and invite you into deeper self-reflection with me on your current superpowers - as well as areas you may be curious to explore further.

May this episode activate a deep remembering inside you of just how badass and magnetic you truly are.

Join me and my husband, James, this week as we share about keeping intimacy alive while caring for a newborn. No easy feat! But we have learned so much about how to balance both and this journey has deepened our love for each other.

In this episode, we’ll share our perspectives on what it’s like trying to care for one another and a baby when you’re running on empty, how to still fill up each other’s cups while avoiding resentment (as much as possible), and the excitement around rediscovering your intimacy as a couple in a new phase of life.

At the end of this episode, we leave you with two powerful questions that can transform your intimacy - for life.

Say hello to Rebecca Ives, my current coach and online love. She says she is a “spiritual teacher masquerading as a marketing coach”. She has built her multi-six-figure brand on unapologetic self-expression, saying the rawest and realest thing, and having her own back in a big way.

In this conversation, we’ll talk about how Rebecca began her online career and built her internet persona and community over the past decade, and how that has allowed her to work only with people she considers “soulmate clients”.

In this conversation, Chelsea and I talk about how she literally grew up in the coaching industry, her struggles and triumphs with OCD, opening up about trauma to an her audience, setting boundaries, and becoming the unfiltered version of ourselves.

Given the popularity of the new Netflix documentary Orgasm Inc., I decided it was time to share about my 4 years deeply involved in the organization, OneTaste.

The documentary paints a dark picture of the company, and OneTaste has spoken out sharing a light side of the company. My motive in this episode is to share my experience - the light & the dark, the gold & the grit.

Today, I’m welcoming back one of my first-ever business coaches and friends, Cait Scudder, to share about her experience running a multi-seven-figure business from home while raising two kids under two.

We talk about lifestyle changes after becoming mamas, the intense portals we went through as we discovered the mother inside us, the feminine power that we found giving birth, and the unconventional future we see for ourselves and our families.

This week, I’m chatting with Elaina, a good friend of mine who has built her multi-million dollar coaching business in only a few years. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how business and love are closely connected, imposter syndrome, becoming our own energetic bouncer, and figuring out the women we’re becoming and how we want to present our future selves to the world.

Men and women are often polar opposites when it comes to sexual needs, desires, and what turns us on. It’s this polarity that can be the key to either bringing us together or pushing us farther apart.

This week, I’m talking with Sarita, a radiant woman in her 60s who has been teaching Tantra for 30 years. Her whole life she has been following the question - “What is the essence of life?” In Tantra, she found an answer.

This episode will touch on many of the challenges the two have faced in their coaching careers advocating for change and challenging cultural taboos, particularly in the Middle East. We discuss how they each approach criticism from the public, their peers and families, and even within themselves. We’ll also discuss the taboos of challenging deep-seated cultural norms, reframe how other cultures view one another critically, and how to design your own reality to become truly liberated.

In this episode, we get real about Emily’s deepest emotions, desires, and shadows that she had been avoiding bringing into the light before working with me. We talk about opening up about sexual fantasies, grieving the lost relationship with her mother and the rage surrounding it, cutting ties with people who no longer served a purpose in her life, and what’s in store for her future.

We discuss the realness and rawness of true self-love vs. the diluted version you often see in mainstream media, how self-love is an internal truth, how to navigate through difficult emotions that can arise in our journey, and we even share our own moments where we’ve struggled to love ourselves through hardship and loss.
