- The Parent Trap: Are you a “Default Parent”?If you've been hearing a lot of talk about "default parents" recently, it's not just in your head. The controversial buzz word is yet again trending on social media, with more moms opening up about the burnout they're experiencing being the first-in-line person for all things kid-related. The ‘default parent’ topic is, however, not a new phenomenon. Since women started returning to the workforce after having children, there has been an undeniable pressure on women to do it all. In order to start dismantling the ‘hustle mindset’ that has been instilled in women over the years, it’s going to require a frank, honest, and ongoing conversation with your partner about how ‘default parent syndrome’ might be showing up in your family and the feelings it provokes. In this episode, Brianna and Mark discuss: Different ways to implement support for the ‘default parent’ How to avoid burnout and resentment of your partner The impact of different parenting styles on ‘default parent syndrome’ How moving away from multi-generational living has affected this phenomenon Tips that have helped Brianna and Mark balance responsibilities and navigate conversations around dividing roles References Find out more about Shelby Sacco’s podcast ‘ Sad to Savage ’ We are super excited to announce that we have just started our new Facebook community, where we will be talking about all things love, sex, relationships, parenting & more!

- Harmonizing Masculine and Feminine Energy with Astrid EdenAt a recent retreat, I was lucky enough to meet Astrid Eden. Astrid is a psychedelic sex witch, who supports clients with healing and transformation using holistic sex coaching and microdose consulting, as well as magic. Her energy was nothing short of magnetizing, and what fascinated me the most was how she tapped into her inner feminine. But it hasn’t always been this way for Astrid. After rejecting herself in her first marriage, suppressing her truth and how she wanted to live and express herself, Astrid suffered the painful experience of divorce and punished herself for what she deemed a failure. In this episode, I got to chat with Astrid about her journey to cultivating a healthy, beautiful relationship with her inner feminine. She also reminds us of the importance of having compassion and empathy for ourselves, especially if we are in a place of rejection, separation, or divorce.

- "The Talk": How & When to talk with your kids about sex & body safetySociety has painted this picture of parents having just one ‘sit down talk’ about the birds and the bees when their kids hit puberty. But is that all there is to it? Is one awkward conversation over the kitchen counter really going to empower our kids with the tools and resources they need to make proper choices? While the internet acts as an enormous wealth of knowledge for our tech-savvy children, it can also be a vast assortment of misinformation. This makes it even more important to educate parents about how to navigate these conversations in the most positive way for their kids. The topic of when and how to have ‘the talk’ is a very present issue for hosts Brianna and Mark, which is why they want to create safety for children through educating parents around this topic. They want to reduce the stigma of talking about sex and encourage parents to feel comfortable talking to their kids about it. In this episode, you will learn: The link between using proper terminology and sexual abuse When to approach boundaries and body safety with your kids Age appropriate ways to answer common questions When and how to do the ‘sex talk’ How to conduct conversations around self-pleasure with teens If you’ve avoided these conversations until now or want to feel more prepared about how to tackle them, don’t miss this episode!

- Releasing Old IdentitiesThis week Bri brings the emotional & Mark keeps it logical as they discuss the meaning behind releasing old identities. We're often taught that when we are transitioning to a different phase in our life like marriage or having a baby--often a happy time--that we only need to focus on the happy and we're not told that we may experience some grief during that time as well. Which can make it quite confusing when these feelings do come up, then it turns into an internal battle. Brianna reflects on when she first learned about "ego deaths" or releasing an old identity when her and Mark had scheduled his vasectomy & she was grieving that she would no longer be pregnant or have a new born to care for. This is a pivotal moment in life & while yes they made a decision that was best for their family, it doesn't take away the pain or feeling of loss and the need to grieve. This doesn't just apply to having kids; Mark reflects on his transitional period from being a collegiate athlete, to his last wrestling match and how he processed releasing this identity. - Ready to create deeper connections, invite more play into your relationship & enjoy more fulfilling intimacy?
