Vagina Talks

Beloved listeners, as we bring this season of Vagina Talks to a close, we begin to look forward to the next shape this show will take. The winds of change are blowing and it can often be very soothing to take refuge from those winds in our temples. Perhaps your temple is an elaborate garden, or perhaps it is a grand marble building on a hill, maybe it is a warm and rustic kitchen by the ocean. The temple is a place you can go to any time you want, and can be very grounding during times of change. So as we discover together what the next season of Vagina Talks will look like, we hope to see you in the temple!

Beloved listeners, we have a very sweet episode for you this week. Sophia talks about the deceptively simple tool of listening to your body's signals and cues when they are quiet instead of waiting for the all hands on deck emergency alarms. Some easy examples are cooking food before you're the kind of hungry where you think you might faint, or getting ready for bed before you feel like melting down and crying like a toddler. This concept can spread out to so many more aspects of your life than just your basic bodily needs. Maybe you're getting subtle cues about a relationship dynamic, or your work. Maybe about how you travel or find moments of joy and gratitude. Sophia has some lovely thoughts that are here to help us all noodle out what to do next. Your body already knows.You can now order the I Love My Life Manual & Guide For Calling Medicine, join Sophia’s email list, and Book Your 1:1 Guidance Session.All this and so much more can be found at SophiaWiseOne.com“I am Sophia Wise One: Daughter of t

The anterior of the pelvic bowl gave Sophia the teaching of, "You are made of space and matter. You take up space and you matter." In this episode you are being validated, and summoned to honor your temporary and holy form. Together we are unraveling the stories we tell ourselves about needing to be different. Sweet, sacred listener, you are a miracle. You contain stardust and whole universes of space. You have a deliciously solid and soft and vibrant body. It is an honor to be able to remind you that you matter. You and your needs are inherently important and good and you are amiracle!This short episode is a packed transmission, summoning and validating the value of your life. Listen once, listen on repeat, listen every day for a moon cycle—whatever it takes to work these words as deeply into your veins as you want them to go.

Sweet, sacred listeners, this week Sophia is here to give you some basic, introductory practices for you to follow in order to touch your own root and begin clearing your pelvic bowl. This is womb-centered work but to be entirely clear, you do not need to have a physical womb or vulva or female identity to do this work. All genders and all bodies can do and benefit from this work!In this episode, you will learn how to hear messages from your body, get your own consent, and you will get an introductory practice to do. If you want to pause and follow along with Sophia, then you may want to listen to this episode in a private space where you feel comfortable touching your root and you can prep by washing your hands and perhaps finding some coconut oil or other lubricant if you think that will be supportive to you. Just listening to this episode will start the clearing process for you, so if you don't feel ready to touch yourself, you can still benefit from this.If you need support to do this work you can book a

Hello beloveds! We're kicking off the season with an episode about relationship dynamics! Yay! It's time to talk about how to use our consent tools for more than just sex. In this episode, Sophia talks about what to do when you feel this cosmic spark that feels like divine fate, but the person you are so smitten with doesn't feel it, or doesn't want to act on it. She talks about how it is so tempting to try and woo and charm and convince until this sweetheart comes around and sees the beautiful potential that you do but that is not an ethical thing to do. And beloved, beautiful, charming, exquisite listener, you deserve a love that needs no convincing. Sophia talks about the wounds that lead us to believe that the only love we'll ever get is the love we hunt and scrape and beg for. Those wounds are precious and they get to be healed. No one is in trouble here, we've all done these things and we aren't monsters for it. There is nothing wrong with wanting. Nothing. Perhaps brew yourself some tea or snuggle with

Beloved listeners, we are back yet again! This time we have a whole season ready for you, so for the next few months you can count on a new episode of Vagina Talks every other week alternating with our sister podcast, Medicine Caller. This new batch of episodes are going to be short and sweet solo episodes with Sophia Wise One, each focusing on a single topic.This autumn and winter were incredibly difficult for us here at Vagina Talks. We lost several incredibly precious people in this season of darkness and grief. In this time of doing her own grieving, Sophia also worked diligently with every tool she has to support her fellow mourners and learned some incredibly potent lessons. She has distilled those lessons into a season of teachings just for you as they feel incredibly ripe and relevant right now. Grief seasons, much like the planetary seasons, will always come and go. So, much like having a hearth to sit by and a well fitting coat in the winter, these tools will help you as you navigate the joys and so

Beloved listeners, we are back at it! This week we are joined by the brilliant performer and author Sonia Jackson. This conversation is like a sweet catching up between friends that follows several paths and we are so delighted to invite you into the circle. What have you been up to? How are you feeling as we exist in this transition from pandemic to endemic? What old "normal" things fell away in the pandemic that you don't ever want back? We'd love to hear from you or perhaps you can catch up with a friend in your life and talk about these things. Blessings to you and yours, we are so glad you made it through to see this beautiful day in your beautiful, wise body and we hope you see many more.

She spent years in the corporate world, and when it became clear that no amount of "success" was worth the stress she was putting herself through, she knew she had to go.

Hello beloveds! Sophia is back to Vagina Talks and is joined this week by the brilliant body worker, teacher, and parenting coach Katie Sutherland. These two have a relaxing and effervescent conversation about wombs, teaching consent to children, relaxing into our bodies, and so much more. Sophia gives us a big lesson on helping someone of any age come back home into their bodies when crying has turned hysterical or big feelings have led to total shutdown. Katie starts the episode off by setting us all at great ease and the two share a lot of excellent tips and tricks for settling into the parasympathetic nervous system. This episode is absolutely bursting with tools so get ready to take the ones that sound good to you and leave behind the ones that don't. Maybe you already do all of these things, maybe your whole world is about to change, or perhaps you land somewhere in the middle. These two brilliant women each bring a unique perspective to some classic grounding tools that make this episode a worthwhile l

Beloveds! We are joined this week again by the incredible Brittany Policastro. Brittany calls in the beauty and potent healing that can be found in ordinary moments. She and Sophia can often be found performing elaborate rituals and those will always have their vital role in healing this world, but there is just as much rich energy in washing dishes when that is the aligned move. These two talk about polyamory and the freedoms it provides as well as the mental reframing that many of us need to do when entering into such spacious agreements. This episode has the ease of two old friends catching up, because that's what it is. But when those two old friends are such incredible healing powerhouses, we all benefit from listening in. This conversation is raw and ripe with personal sharing. Do you know that "breakup" "heartache" Sophia keeps making reference to without talking about? She finds space and support to share the dish on it in this episode. Get cozy, or pumped, or anything in between, maybe you'll find t

Beloved listeners, the early days of summer are here in the northern hemisphere and while Sophia and her brilliant guest, Luna Dietrich, never explicitly talk about summer, you can feel the light bursting through every crack in this conversation. Summer brings us light and fresh food and warmth but in doing so, everything speeds up to a sometimes excruciating degree. Luna brings us a lot of helpful perspectives to consider when inside a huge seasonal shift like this one. They talk about shame, kink, polyamory, kind communication, and so much more!

Darling Dears! Sophia comes out of the new baby haze to record this raw and informative show. Brittany expresses how she is actively doing her part to restore autonomy in the laboring process. She mentions the education and resources she provides to expecting families. She utilizes her knowledge of pelvic biomechanics and labor movement. In this episode, Brittany mentions, “And you know, one of the things I tell people all the time is that no matter what position it is, it's not going to be good. If you're in it for three hours, movement frequently is really, really important.” Sophia and Brittany discuss the goal of decreasing unnecessary intervention, restoring autonomy to the person giving birth in medicated and unmedicated births, and also helping to provide comfort in labor and better oxygenate the baby as well.  Full Transcript below Here’s a little glimpse: The importance of self-governing in the labor process The benefits of opening the pelvis and movement The value of good communication with hea

Eden Edge shares her of menarche journey and how it led her to establishing business to provide education and convenient resources for menstruating women. “And so for five years, I stopped my menstrual flow for five years, I suffocated myself, my reproductive system, my vagina, all of that. And so after those five years were up, I, which would put me in 2012 I have suffered my body, as far as trying to get my body back on track, it's really taken that long.” She mentions how she discovers disturbing information about sanitary napkins and the chemicals that were put in the napkins. “They're companies that are allowed to use a chemical that elongates the cycle. Over time, the more you use these products, it's going to make that cycle longer.”  In this episode, Eden Edge informs the Vagina Talk listeners about her mission to support and educate others who have had similar experiences. She exchanges her view on how to create a place that provides healthier product options and information to women on how to c

Hi darlings! This episode was recorded a few months ago, and yet feels right on time as we release it today. So much of what Sophia and her brilliant guest, Jen McFarland talk about rings ever more true in this time. The tides are turning in America and they are turning in the world. Direct change is coming from our diligence, practice, and care. As we look to the future and the immense amount of work ahead of us, Jen is here to teach us ways of working smarter instead of harder so we can truly get to where we are going. Some things discussed in this episode: The corporate, capitalist, world is not designed for intuitive empathetic people which can feel very isolating. Being intuitive and empathetic is absolutely a benefit and not a problem even in those spaces. We promise. When making a work schedule for yourself, it really goes best when you just do whatever activities are in alignment for that day. Maybe you spend the day on email, maybe you flit from task to task every 10 minutes, maybe it's a rest day.
