We all have a shadow side, that part of us that we tend to disown, but what if we embrace it instead? In this episode, our guest, Court Vox discusses how we can play with our shadow via BDSM, psychedelics and somatic work. Carl Jung originated the concept of the shadow, and states, “Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.” This quote drives home the importance of discovering what blocks us from consciously being aware of our shadow along with why learning how to dance with it once we do is so crucial. In this episode, we discuss the relationship shame and fear has with the shadow, why people might avoid making darkness conscious, and how to find one’s own shadow, so one can not only go next level with emotional growth, but also partake in naughty joy. Please join us on the shadow side of life, as we once again, dare to Open Deeply.Court Vox's Bio: Court Vox is a Certified Sex & Intimacy Coach, based in Los Angeles CA . He isFounder of The Bodyvox.

During a time in which social justice efforts for adult professionals are silenced, we welcome the iconic Jessica Stoya to discuss the globalization of the adult film industry and its impact on adult industry professionals. Along with discussing historical events that have led to changes in the adult industry, we discuss some of the hurdles that adult performers experience in their personal life that put their basic needs for food and shelter in jeopardy. These hurdles exist due to right wing, sex negative influences in our culture and can result in, for example, the performer being “unbanked” meaning that the performer may have trouble finding and keeping a bank that will allow them to have an account and other banking fundamentals, or they may be refused housing when looking to rent or buy property which can lead to a very real fear of homelessness. This all sounds heavy, but Stoya’s impromptu Les Mis musical parody makes it all worth the emotional labor. Trust me. Then, we go on to discuss Stoya’s bold career transition from mostly being an adult performer to focusing on writing and being an intimacy coach for Pam Shaffer’s clinic Best Self Psych. This is a fascinating and important episode, especially if you care about adult performers’ rights. We hope you join us as once again as we dare to Open Deeply.
Stoya's Bio:
Jessica Stoya has been working with sexuality since 2006. Her writing on the subject has appeared in The New York Times, VICE, Playboy, and many other publications. She, along with Rich Juzwiak, pens Slate’s How To Do It sex advice column. Her first book, Philosophy, Pussycats, & Porn, has been published in English, and Spanish, Russian and Serbian translations. She completed her Ante Up! Professional Development certification in 2021, and has begun an undergraduate degree studying philosophy. Jessica Stoya recently joined Best Self Psych as a certified sexuality coach.

Please join us for episode fifty-five of Open Deeply as our guest, sex ed icon, Barbara Carrellas joins us to proclaim that ecstasy is everywhere, it has profound gifts to give you, and it’s necessary. The episode is filled with her personal journey with ecstasy along with how and why it became her personal calling, a passion that has spanned decades and has brought ecstatic gifts to all who have attended her trainings or read her books. Sadly, most people don’t even understand what ecstasy is or their view is incredibly limited. The reality is that ecstasy is expansive and accessible to you. Furthermore, ecstasy is found in unexpected places, such as on the other side of great suffering or soul wrenching emotion. We explore this phenomenon and why it occurs. By the end of this episode, you will have a better understanding of how to access ecstasy in your life along with the plethora of ways that it might manifest.

Please join us as Sunny describes what her new life is like an expat in Portugal. In 2023, her family got rid of most of their belongings from a lifetime in the U.S. and moved to the Azores, an archipelago in the mid-Atlantic that is part of Portugal. The islands are characterized by gorgeous, dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, green pastures, and hedgerows of blue hydrangeas. It’s even more breathtaking than it sounds. The islands can be found right between New York and Portugal, about three hours either way. So, in this episode, Sunny tells us about her journey and what it’s like being an ex-pat on a beautiful little island. Is it the little slice of heaven that it seems? And what is it like being far away, as we, here in the U.S., cascade towards our election day with the hopes of maintaining our democracy. We will find out all this and more in this episode.
Sunny's bio related to kink:
Sunny began teaching about BDSM in 2010. Her area of expertise is the soft skills--which center around things like ethics, cultivating self-awareness, and strategies for effective communication. She received a FROST Certificate of Gratitude in 2020 honoring her service to the kink community, was voted XBIZ sexpert of the year in 2021, and Kinkly’s sex blogging superhero in 2017. Her alternative sexuality focused podcast American Sex was awarded the AASECT podcast award in 2020. Sunny also creates curriculum about BDSM for sexuality professionals.

In this episode, the amazing death doula, Jane Whitlock, joins us. In the U.S., there is so much avoidance of understanding death and preparing for death, but if we lean in to learning and feeling, we can learn so much from dying and the death process including how to live, the mysteries and spiritual aspects of death, and how to die under the best circumstances possible for both us and our loved ones. Jane once said, “In circumstances in which death is not sudden, if we treated death as we treat birth, then death would not be a time of fear and anxiety but love, connection and a time to access our deepest emotions.” It can be such a better experience if we learn to manage our fear and grief. We also get into how to frame death for our own spiritual evolution, for instance Jane has stated, and I’m paraphrasing, “The soul should be in the driver’s seat with death is riding shot gun. The ego should be in the back seat” as a way to look at death through a Buddhist lens. We hope you join us for this fascinating episode of Open Deeply in which we face what is for many, a biggest fear.
Jane's Bio: Jane Whitlock is an end of life doula, a passionate end of life educator and an arm chair astrologer. She believes that by holding the truth that we will die close, we will not only have a more meaningful life but a more meaningful death. She did a Ted talk in 2018 entitled, "What Death Taught Me About Life" which launched her into the field of death education. She is the co founder of the MN Death Collaborative an end of life resource for all facing death. In 2021 she co founded Full Circle Care, an end of life program at a skilled nursing facility. As a Gemini rising she is a talker so prepare yourselves!

Please join us for episode fifty-one, with Ian Ferguson, expert trainer in the Erotic Blueprint Methodology and co-founder, along with his partner, Jaiya, of the Blueprint Breakthrough, Inc., a company educating clients to use Jaiya’s revolutionary Erotic Blueprint framework. In this episode, Ian tells the story of how the Erotic Blueprints were manifested as a byproduct of some of his and Jaiya’s endeavors to overcome relationship difficulties. He defines the five erotic blueprint types: sexual, kinky, sensual, shapeshifter and energetic. And then he gives examples about how two people who seemingly have non-compatible blueprint types can find ways to come together.
Finally, we switch gears and discuss Ian’s recent diagnosis of prostate cancer which happened concurrently with Jaiya’s other platonic long-term partner, John, also having a life-threatening experience with cancer which of course has rocked the foundations of their family. However, you would be hard pressed to find a stronger, more loving family than theirs and perhaps that’s part of the reason they have already experienced some miracles. We hope you decide to check out this episode that often reveals that anything is possible.

Please join us for episode fifty in which Open Deeply’s co-host, who is a psychotherapist and a two-time cancer survivor, discloses the intertwined psychedelic journey and cancer journey that she experienced throughout 2023. The story begins with a psychedelic journey at a retreat center deep in jungles of Costa Rica that changes the trajectory of her life for close to a year. During her last psychedelic experience at the retreat center, her lung area felt like a concrete block. She tried to use all her somatic psychotherapy skills to move it through to no avail. She describes how she finally resolved her suffering and what happened once she returned home. She had learned from listening to countless stories of psychedelic journeys, that it’s not wise to ignore the medicine if it focuses on a body part. So, upon returning to L.A., she decided to get her lungs checked. Months later, the biopsy results revealed that she had a small tumor in her lung. The doctors kept asking, “How did you know to come in?” Strange but true. Now, most people describe cancer as a monster. We often here, “F*ck cancer!” But what if, in some cases, cancer has something to teach us. In Kate’s experience, she states that although having cancer both times was brutal, the lessons it has taught her keep coming. She describes it as more of a spiritual journey that has provided tremendous growth. And she has lived to tell us about it in this episode. So, join us, for another episode of Open Deeply, in which we will find out why so many cancer survivors ask the question, “Why did it take cancer to teach me how to live?”

Please join us for episode 49 of Open Deeply with the legendary, Janet Hardy. Janet is most known for the Ethical Slut, but she is a prolific writer of over a dozen groundbreaking books. In this episode, she reads from her soon to be published book, Notes of an Aging Pervert. This novel is SO kind, vulnerable and honest regarding the uncomfortable subjects of aging and facing mortality. We’re all going to die, but we remain avoidant of the subject. Janet holds our hand and makes thinking about this topic way easier. Here is one excerpt from the book, ““I’ve come to think of my lifetime as a relatively brief vacation, and my body as resortwear — perhaps a nice sundress, or a pair of comfy shorts. Like all vacations, this one will feel like it’s over much too soon.” She also discusses family, love, relationships, and of course, k1nk including several kinky memories. One of the most captivating parts of the book is when she tells the story of being present for her father’s “good death” which is mystical, awe inspiring and beautiful. In addition, the paperback is filled with Janet’s original raw and lovable artwork of herself and loved ones. In this interview Janet discusses the vulnerability of including nude drawings of herself and why she decided to include them. The book has a certain comfy and comforting quality to it, despite the scary topics, that makes one want to grab a blanket and some hot cocoa and curl up while reading it. It’s a love gift. It’s a book that helped me sit in reverence for this iconic human that has blazed a trail for so many, including me, so that in turn, our own path might not be so hard. We hope you join us for this captivating episode as we discuss this amazing book.
Janet's bio: Janet W. Hardy is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen groundbreaking books about relationships and sexuality, including The Ethical Slut, which has sold more than 300,000 copies to date.
She spent the first three decades of her life believing that she was the only person in the world who got turned on by thinking about spanking. She wrote her first book, The Sexually Dominant Woman, to help create a world in which nobody else would ever be that clueless.
Janet has traveled the world as a speaker and teacher on topics ranging from ethical multipartner relationships to erotic spanking and beyond. She has appeared in documentary films, television shows, and more podcasts and radio shows than she can count. She has narrated audio versions of many of her books, and looks forward to doing more.
Janet spent a quarter century as editor-in-chief of Greenery Press, the firm she founded in 1992, which went on to publish dozens of books about alternative sexuality and relationships. While she has retired from being a publisher, she goes on writing, drawing, editing and educating about sexuality.
Janet lives the life of a kinky poly queer genderbent geezer in Eugene, Oregon, with her spouse and a whole lot of pets.

We start off the interview discussing her Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive called Forte Femme in which her teachings go to the core of BDSM and even takes a step beyond kink to include profound truths about human sexuality and power that impact our daily lives. Then Midori goes on to stress the importance of finding out the tells our partner has within a BDSM scene that reveal whether or not they are happy. Our tells in the sub role are often easy to determine, but what about the Domme role? That’s way harder to define! Midori also goes over some of her pet peeves within BDSM and what ideas within BDSM that she might feel are bullshit or toxic. Finally, Midori tells us a out her performance art that is a delicious combination of her Japanese roots, BDSM, social commentary, and generally mind fuckery. This is an incredibly fun and thought-provoking episode, so we hope you join us as we once again, dare to Open Deeply.

In my personal life, my many of my dear friends are sex positive thought leaders. This is a group of incredibly sexy, powerful, sexually embodied humans who identify as women. Despite all of our strength and knowledge, many of us were completely blind-sided by menopause. Here are just a few symptoms: decrease clitoral sensitivity (oh, fuck no), brain fog (not okay), painful sex (not on my watch), rapid weight gain (some gained thirty pounds in a year), decreased libido, and a variety of weird and painful health issues that came on in rapid succession. But you can’t make a group of vibrant vagina and vulva owners go quietly into the shadows. F*ck that shit. So we went searching. And one of my finds was the wonderful, Dr Kelly Casperson. Dr. Kelly Casperson is a board-certified urologist with a specialty in menopause. In this episode, we break down myths about estrogen, discuss the long list of benefits that come from being on systemic estrogen, along with how to maintain sexual vitality after age fifty. Please join us as we break down the culture lie that woman past fifty should slowly fade into the wood work, while concurrently exposing that the truth, that we are wise, powerful, sexy and ready to open deeply into the gorgeous flowers that we are.
Dr. Casperson's bio:
Dr. Casperson is a board-certified practicing urologist interested in the power of the mind and science to change our views of sexuality. Her podcast called You Are Not Broken which consistently ranks in the top 10 in the Apple “sexuality” category in multiple countries. It has been nominated for an AASECT award for three years running.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-are-not-broken/id1495710329
From that she has created online courses teaching women the fundamentals of their anatomy and physiology, discussing their limiting beliefs, and normalizing their normal female sexual function, to empower them to live their best love lives. Through the pursuit of a certification with the Life Coach School and the North American Menopause Society, she now combines her medical knowledge with mind-work to help women
with surgical precision. An engaging and humorous storyteller, she is a nationally known speaker and is known for being approachable (like your big sister who is a doctor), making people comfortable with these
often uncomfortable topics, and changing lives in the bedroom and out with her practical useful tips.

and Audible.

In this episode, Alex Belser, PhD joins us to discuss how psychedelics can help LGBTQIA+ people heal from bigotry and embracing their identity. After seeing him speak on stage at the Denver Psychedelic Science Convention on the topic of Queering Psychedelics, I knew we needed to have him on Open Deeply along with his co-presenter, Justin Natoli, who was our guest on episode 44. So much was discussed in this episode including how psychedelics can potentially help with the coming out process. And we didn’t shy away from the dark history of psychedelics. For instance, did you know that psychedelics have been used unethically in tandem with conversion therapy in attempt to rewire sexual orientation? Horrible, but true. And finally, we discussed what the kink and psychedelic communities can learn from one another. All this and more as once again we dare to Open Deeply.
Bio: Alex Belser, PhD is a clinical scientist, author, and licensed psychologist with a focus on psychedelic research. At Yale University, he's a Co-Investigator for a study investigating psilocybin treatment for people with OCD. He has explored the potential of novel therapies using psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, and DMT to help alleviate human suffering and treat specific indications, including depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. His most recent book: EMBARK Psychedelic Therapy for Depression: A New Approach for the Whole Person, co-authored with Dr. Bill Brennan, will be published later this year by Oxford University Press. Dr. Belser has co-founded a number of leading psychedelic organizations, including the NYU Psychedelic Research Group in 2006; Nautilus Sanctuary, the first non-profit on the East Coast dedicated to psychedelic medicine; and Adelia Therapeutics, where he served as Chief Clinical Officer (CCO). He also served as CCO at Cybin, where he chaired the Scientific Advisory Board. His other main area of interest is mental health for LGBTQIA+ people—his last book is Queering Psychedelics: From Oppression to Liberation in Psychedelic Medicine. His work has been featured in the media, with coverage in the New York Times, the Atlantic, the New Yorker, The Guardian, Forbes, Rolling Stone Magazine, and in Michael Pollan's book, "How to Change Your Mind." Dr. Belser is a hatha and kundalini yoga teacher. He studied at Georgetown, Cambridge, Columbia, NYU, and Yale University.

In this episode, we explore a mind expanding alternate to the traditional binary of choosing either a monogamous or non-monogamous relationship. Non-monogamy was created in reaction to the confines on monogamy. However, isn't it time to break free from this binary? If either one of these choices works for you, then great! But for many relationships or people a fluid relationship that may shift from monogamy to non-monogamy depending on what suits all partners involved and their changing life circumstances may work better. A fluid relationship is not trapped within the confines of non-monogamy. Instead, a fluid relationship inherently has the full range of freedom to shift across the continuum, from extreme monogamy on one end to extreme non-monogamy on the other end, as life changes. Its arguable that such relationships have the greatest ability to adapt to emotions and needs, and thus the highest ability to survive over time. In this episode, we unpack the advantages and challenges of fluid relationships, when they are healthy or unhealthy, why couple privilege may be the biggest hurdle, and how fluid relationships differ from relationship anarchy. Please join us as we once again dare to open deeply.

In this eye-opening episode, Jason Natoli, JD, LMFT, and founder of the Queer Medicine Community, tells us about his amazing chapter within the book, Queering Psychedelics entitled, “How Psychedelics Can Guide the Transformative Journey of Polyamory”. He discusses how psychedelics can help with three primary struggles within polyamory: shame, past trauma, and difficulty transcending labels. Then, he explains that, based on his research, people who seek out monogamy or non-monogamy, do so to either 1) avoid discomfort and satisfy desires or 2) pursue a transformative journey. And according to Justin, “For those of us who walk the transformative path of polyamory, the Universe itself is our soul mate.” In this episode, he unpacks what he means by that along with reading to us his Queer Creation story that is so magical that it’s a wonder that we have gone this long without it. And so, we hope you join us for this delightful episode, as once again, we dare to open deeply.

In this episode, relationship coach and co-host of the Multiamory podcast, Dedeker Winston joins us to discuss her new book, “Multiamory: Essential Tools for Modern Relationships” that she wrote along with co-authors Jase Lindgren and Emily Sotelo Matlack. Dedeker unpacks some fascinating key concepts in her book, like RADAR check ins and the Triforce of Communication, that will be game changers for your relationships. We also get into vulnerabilities as she explains that writing has been emotionally harder for her than nude modeling and why. Then, we shift gears as she elucidates how the combination of being a digital nomad and being non-monogamous has been especially epic for her. Side note: I have to say, her goat story got me incredibly envious. She tells us how jealousy has been her teacher, why she loves relationship anarchy, and finally, why she now endeavors to live a “f*ckless life”. Please join us for this detailed look into the non-monogamous mind of Dedeker Winston as we once again dare to Open Deeply.

This episode is part two with Goddess Amina (Amina Peterson). In this episode, we talk about everything from the politics of sex to psychedelics. Regarding sexual politics, Amina feels the best was to buck our patriarchal system is by offering and teaching something that is way better than anything patriarchy can ever offer…next level pleasure. With a gleam in her eye, Amina states, “This is how we fight patriarchy, by offering something way juicier, way more whole, way healthier, and way more appealing. Amina questions the hypocrisy in our culture related to sex and points out that, “We can sell a waterfall, but we can’t sell our own p*ssy.” She discusses rights related to sex work and delineates survival sex work versus empowered sex work.
After this impassioned conversation, we switch gears and discuss Amina’s work with psychedelics. She offers San Pedro retreats outside of the United States. She likens San Pedro ceremonies to “getting a hug from the universe for ten hours.” She excitedly explains that she’s been learning from a shaman since 2021 and describes how her guests seem changed after these experiences.
Finally, we close the interview discussing the importance of access and inclusion of Black and Brown people in the psychedelic movement including the necessity of having Black and Brown run retreat centers and clinics. We discuss the importance of amplifying the public awareness of sexual abuse that has been enacted by some shamans, mentors or facilitators upon some guests, students or patients who are experiencing a psychedelic journey. All of this drives home the point that profits should never be more important than people. We hope you join us for incredibly thought-provoking episode of Open Deeply.
Amina Peterson's Bio: The Goddess Amina, otherwise known as Amina Peterson, is the founder of the Atlanta Institute of Tantra, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing access to pleasure and tantric embodiment in communities of color. She is also the host of the Fix Your Sex Podcast. Her path began as a Sex Surrogate working with Dr. Dean Dauw in 1997. In 2004, she began practicing massage after completing a 500-hour program at the New Chicago School of Bodywork and Massage. That training opened her eyes to a variety of erotic healing modalities, including neo tantra and esalen. She is a graduate of the University of IL (B.A. Sociology), a Reiki Master, and a yoga instructor (Core Power & Tantra). Her resume highlights accolades that include a combined 20+ years of work in non-profit management, and a bodywork background that includes work as a birth doula, personal trainer, and fitness coach. Her extensive background in fitness and health has made her work especially focused on helping lovers heal their wounds related to body image, sexual abuse, self-esteem and identity.

Rachel Krantz, the author of Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-monogamy joins us as we continue the discussion from the previous episode about grooming in the kink scene. However, in this episode, we broaden the conversation by including non-monogamy and we deepen it by exploring Rachel’s first- hand experience with it. In the past, all three of us, Rachel, Sunny and myself, have been in kink and/or non-monogamous relationships that we came to realize had some toxic patterns of manipulation, grooming, gas lighting, etc. in them. Often such relationships are mixed with amazing highs that keep one hooked and brutal lows that leave one crushed. It is our hope that listeners who are currently in such relationships or healing from one might benefit from the insights in this episode. We start in the thick of it…that time when Rachel was immersed in such a relationship, including the strong emotional tidal pulls that are make such a relationship addictive, sexy, intoxicating, but deeply torturous. And then we can move to the first few years after getting free, followed by where Rachel finds herself now and finally, who she wants to become. Perhaps in doing so, the three of us can provide a road map, some coping tools, or at least some hope for someone who feels lost in this pattern within kink and/or non-monogamy. We hope that you join us for this vulnerable, bold and honest episode as once again, we dare to open deeply.
