Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to the libido lounge where we focus on all things love, lust, and libido.
- 0:05We believe that fabulous sex is important to health as exercise and good food.
- 0:11Alright, everybody.
- 0:13Welcome back to another episode of the libido lounge.
- 0:16I'm your host, doctor Diane, and I am so excited for this conversation today.
- 0:20This is a very dear friend and couple's relationship and physiology expert.
- 0:27We're gonna talk about what that means today.
- 0:29So Sierra Sullivan has such a rich background.
- 0:33We're gonna get into that.
- 0:34But first of all, welcome.
- 0:36So happy to be here with you, Sierra.
- 0:38Oh, thank you for having me.
- 0:39I'm super excited for our call or our connect today,
- 0:42our chat, or whatever we're gonna do.
- 0:45Yeah.
- 0:45Yeah.
- 0:45Well, let's dive right in.
- 0:47So I already said this word, this word pussy, that I know some people are still a lot of
- 0:53people actually are still having a lot of negative reaction around this word.
- 0:58So when we talk about the science of physiology, and we're gonna get into what this
- 1:03means and how it's connected to healing from genital shame and helping us love our body and
- 1:09helping us have fuller expression as women in this world.
- 1:13But let's break that down.
- 1:16I think it start with some of the shame behind this word.
- 1:20And I just wanted to open this up before we get into, like, the depths of what this is and why
- 1:24it's so helpful for healing from shame and genital image.
- 1:28So can you kinda break down the word pussy and how you started a different relationship with
- 1:34that word?
- 1:35That's a great question.
- 1:36And, yes, that word still absolutely hits people in a spot that can be super
- 1:42uncomfortable, especially if you're not in circles where it's being used a lot.
- 1:47Like, I have had the pleasure and the and the yeah.
- 1:50It's been it it hit me weird the first time too several however many years ago, and I feel it's
- 1:56because it's been used as a slang.
- 1:58It's been used as a slur.
- 2:01It's been used in porn.
- 2:03So until we re reclaimed it fully, and I have to give credit where credit's due in many ways.
- 2:10There is a book by the name of Pussy, a reclamation written by Legit.
- 2:15Right?
- 2:16Regina Thomas Schauer.
- 2:17She put pussy, that word back on the map.
- 2:20It happened to coincide at the same time that the pussy hat the pussy hat women's march was
- 2:27marching on Washington.
- 2:28The same time a former president who was running at the time got in sort of trouble for
- 2:34using the word pussy.
- 2:36So it all coalesced.
- 2:37So it felt like to me that word had a heyday in media in a way that we've never seen before,
- 2:45and that allowed people to have righteousness around it, have reclamation around it, and
- 2:50really have a shift around that word.
- 2:52And it started to get through spam filters and be used more because it was news.
- 2:57It was newsworthy between the book and then that news segment and everything else.
- 3:01So whether you like the word or not, being able to feel and notice what's going on in your body
- 3:09when that word is said gives a litmus task for where you might have some work to do or some
- 3:17opening to do around how you might feel even about your own pussy.
- 3:23That's so helpful.
- 3:24I think you're giving me chills.
- 3:25I did not realize the the timing of all of those things coming together was like, that
- 3:31feels just so divine, right, of this this reclamation, really, as the book title says.
- 3:37Yep.
- 3:38So is that like, can you tell us then about how this work, this work around the art of
- 3:42pysiology?
- 3:43Like, how was that born?
- 3:44Can you let our listeners know?
- 3:46I think, like, let's start with what is it.
- 3:48And then just for everybody that is listening, as we talk through some of this, you know, make
- 3:52sure you hang on because we're going somewhere here.
- 3:54We're gonna talk about how this amazing art form that at Sierra does and offers to the
- 4:00world is something that can actually help really help heal from things like shame.
- 4:05And it's amazing how much shame I find that we have lodged in our system, hijacking our
- 4:12amygdala, keeping us out of our pleasure centers, and this is one amazing way into
- 4:18healing from that shame.
- 4:19So just stay with me as we're getting to kind of the background here.
- 4:21And can you can you walk us through some of the background of of the sciences, art, and how it
- 4:26was born?
- 4:28Yeah.
- 4:28It has more of a mystical than a scientific, but it was born out of, me okay.
- 4:36So I'll I'll do my best to do the cliff notes because it is quite a story.
- 4:40And Okay.
- 4:41A story worth telling, but for the time we have today, I'm gonna do my best to guide the the
- 4:47significant points.
- 4:49In 02/2016, I had been up in three years or so three or four years leading up to 02/2016, been
- 4:57running a massive event called fun, fabulous, and feminine for women to reconnect with our
- 5:03pleasure and our power and our femininity and our magic and really leaning into that side of
- 5:08our essence to create from, especially in our businesses versus the masculine side that is so
- 5:15good at structures and getting things done.
- 5:18So that was my body of work for many, many years.
- 5:22But what I found was that the very thing that I was teaching, there was a maybe 20%
- 5:28incongruence for me in the model I was using to get that message out and get those teachings
- 5:35out.
- 5:36And it was you know, when the universe sends you signs and sends you signs, and if you don't
- 5:41listen, you know, you we hear off now.
- 5:42You get hit in the head with a two by four.
- 5:44Right?
- 5:44It's like I wasn't really listening.
- 5:47I was so char I was in this, like, I'm gonna charge ahead and make this thing work.
- 5:52Well, the universe sent me multiple signs, like, really, like, a lot of signs.
- 5:57And I was so in my masculine at the time that I I I could see the signs.
- 6:01I was acknowledging the signs, but I was not listening or taking action on the signs.
- 6:05So long and the short of it is in February 2016, I had a big I had my big event, and it
- 6:12was a big flop because all of these things converge to show me that I was off my path
- 6:19truly.
- 6:20So I blew up my business.
- 6:21I blew up that brand.
- 6:22I said I'm not going to do that.
- 6:23And then I decided to become a nobody and a nothing for a while.
- 6:29Like, not try to be build a personality brand, not try to be somebody in the world, not try to
- 6:34be in the spotlight, but to actually listen to my inner knowing.
- 6:39While that inner knowing is really what I like to refer to is our you know, it's like our
- 6:44pussy knowing.
- 6:44It's our feminine knowing.
- 6:46It's the the guiding force when you're really tapped into feminine intuition.
- 6:52You can't leave pussy out, but we'll come back to that.
- 6:55So I didn't realize that I was following my pussy truly at the time, but I took, like, four
- 7:01months to just become nobody and see what would happen.
- 7:06Like, if I was like, could I do an experiment and be be me more without trying to be me as a
- 7:12thing in the world?
- 7:14And could I then let that be something that could serve and and support me?
- 7:18It was definitely a grand experiment.
- 7:22But I got quiet enough and and I was still enough and listening enough because I took away
- 7:28all that static and all that noise of trying to build and grow and and market and all the
- 7:32things so that pussy could really show me.
- 7:35And the long and the short of the story is, many magical things started to show up for me
- 7:41that started pointing me towards what is now physiology, what I would now consider
- 7:46physiology.
- 7:47Took me a while to figure out what was being shown to me ultimately.
- 7:50But one night in October no.
- 7:53September of twenty sixteen, so four months later, for how many months that is, I was shown
- 7:59very clearly this, ritual that is become the physiology ritual.
- 8:07And I was given literally a download from spirit from an amalgamation of things that if I
- 8:14if a woman's not feeling great about her pussy, I would take her through this ritual.
- 8:18I would sit her down.
- 8:19I would sit in front of her pussy.
- 8:20I would share what I saw, and then and that's what happened.
- 8:24This one night, I had this guidance, and I did this with this woman, and it became very clear
- 8:29that what was happening was transforming her shame.
- 8:32She had physical scar tissue that I'd never seen before.
- 8:36I'd not even seen a lot of pussies up until then up close and personal.
- 8:39It was just one of the I mean, I'd taken a couple of Regina's courses, and I was on the
- 8:44path.
- 8:45But that ritual, that magic that kinda showed up and led me to do that with that woman really
- 8:53helped me see that if you simply give that part of a woman's anatomy attention with love and
- 8:59adoration and no need to touch anything, give pleasure, take pleasure, nothing.
- 9:05Like, just complete neutral, loving, holding space much like we give to each other when
- 9:10we're in women's circles.
- 9:11Right?
- 9:11There's something magic about what happens when you're in a women's circle just by getting
- 9:15witness and held and supported.
- 9:17Right?
- 9:17Not trying to fix or do anything.
- 9:19Same thing.
- 9:19Pussy is very much the same.
- 9:21And I was shown very clearly there is a story that your pussy has to offer.
- 9:27So that was the beginning of that journey.
- 9:29And then I was like, that the way that that transformed that woman so much in a heartbeat.
- 9:34Like, it was like instantaneous self love that she felt for herself.
- 9:39And she'd been working on her self love and her body image for a long time, long time.
- 9:43So I was like, okay.
- 9:44I'm on to something here.
- 9:45What but what is that something?
- 9:47And and how what do I call it?
- 9:49And how does this help people?
- 9:51And I felt very protective and very, reverent of what had just been shown to me.
- 9:58But without going into too much detail for the sake of, you know, this this space today, what
- 10:04I found ultimately was that by looking at pussy with loving eyes, there is a divine design,
- 10:14unique divine design that each of us has between our legs that absolutely gives
- 10:20messages, codes, symbols, archetypes, and a storyline if you sit and look long enough.
- 10:26It's kind of in a way like tea leaf reading where you can decipher things and pull on
- 10:34intuition and see images that or looking at clouds almost.
- 10:38Right?
- 10:39But what's unique is that these images and messages and archetypes and codes and things
- 10:44that come through always relate back to that woman's story.
- 10:49There's things that there's symbols that have been meaningful to her her whole life that all
- 10:54of a sudden, I'll say, your pussy's showing me this.
- 10:57And she'll be like, oh my gosh.
- 10:59That's been a thing for me my entire life.
- 11:01Or your pussy shows me and I'm like, are you a Taurus by chance?
- 11:05Because I'm getting, you know, kind of like a Taurus bull.
- 11:08Oh, yeah.
- 11:09I'm a Taurus.
- 11:10Right?
- 11:10It doesn't always line up that perfectly, but pussy has been in the dark literally.
- 11:17Vulva flowers.
- 11:17We like to call sacred portal.
- 11:19I like to call it sacred portal, but there's a lot of words.
- 11:21But she, it, they, whatever, has been in the dark.
- 11:26We haven't looked.
- 11:28We're not looking a whole lot as women.
- 11:30For whatever reason, we're shameful.
- 11:32We're squeamish.
- 11:33We it's hard to do without a mirror or a, you know, now a phone.
- 11:38These are very helpful.
- 11:40And can you imagine, you know, it's the it's the OG Stargate.
- 11:46All human life has come through this portal by design, and we're not giving this part of our
- 11:52body a voice, whether it be listening to her, listening to what she has to say, or me because
- 11:58I'm visual, looking to see what she has to say.
- 12:02Yeah.
- 12:03So yeah.
- 12:04I'll pause there.
- 12:04I can feel thank you so much.
- 12:06I can feel I'm getting, like, waves of of chills, and I imagine other people are too
- 12:11because as you describe it, it's so easy for me to, like, connect around this area of the
- 12:17female body that is, like you said, like, for many people never even been looked at or maybe
- 12:21looked at once and for almost everybody only seeing their own unless they're typically with
- 12:27other women.
- 12:28Yeah.
- 12:29And in that scenario, to all of a sudden actually be blessed with, hey.
- 12:35This area actually is connected to this code of who you are and then see it as, wow.
- 12:40That's a that's a message, and that message is beautiful.
- 12:42So that must mean, oh, my pussy is beautiful.
- 12:46Right?
- 12:46And it is really sad.
- 12:47Like, I don't know if I told you a story of this.
- 12:50Like, every once in a while when I'm, like, going back and reviewing female anatomy just
- 12:54for my own work, I get, like, so turned on just by even looking at, like, anatomy pictures
- 13:00online.
- 13:00Like, not even real women, like, anatomy pictures.
- 13:03And I've had times where I get so turned on that I have to go masturbate, like, right then
- 13:07and there.
- 13:08And so I can imagine, right, the the the change that happens for the individual when they can
- 13:13be bestowed this beautiful message.
- 13:16And all of a sudden, there there is this body shame.
- 13:20See see that that shift.
- 13:22I mean, I could see how that could happen instantaneously.
- 13:25So Mhmm.
- 13:26Who is this really like, in people that are listening and, like, wow.
- 13:29This is interesting.
- 13:30Right?
- 13:30Like like, I think there's a lot of people that are probably, like, listening and think this is
- 13:34interesting.
- 13:34Who would you say, like, this art form is for?
- 13:39What I would say is it's for either I mean, it's for anyone really who wants to get to know
- 13:44and have a deeper relationship with that part of themselves, period, or shift the storyline.
- 13:51But it's great for women who are super curious, and it's also really great for women that are
- 13:58pussy positive already on the path because they can take their, their knowledge and their
- 14:04strength around this, and they can add the skill set into their repertoire to then, you
- 14:10know, go deeper or bring it to their you know, if they have a retreat or teachings or circles
- 14:16or whatnot.
- 14:18So it's kind of, you know, I think for every I've got something for everyone.
- 14:23What my our main mission is to eradicate shame, hone, you know, hone our intuition, and empower
- 14:31women around the world to change the conversation that we have from a negative
- 14:35perception to not just a positive one, but one where we can see the magnificence of ultimately
- 14:42mother and mother codes and mother energy and divine feminine and value her because she is so
- 14:50mysterious and magical.
- 14:53So Perfect.
- 14:54Yeah.
- 14:54And I I wanna circle back around too to something else you said about sisterhood and
- 14:58about that witnessing.
- 14:59Right?
- 14:59Because it's something I've noticed in dance classes and central dance classes or pool
- 15:04dancing classes I've taken where you just get witnessed in, like, this rawness of emotional
- 15:11or sensual expression, and there's no right or wrong, and you just get witnessed by other
- 15:16women.
- 15:16And it's crazy how profound that witnessing can be.
- 15:20And and so can you talk a little bit about, like, that and what you know like, noticed in
- 15:25your work?
- 15:25Like, where does the circle of sisterhood come in?
- 15:28How does that play in?
- 15:29What have you noticed as far as healing from a standpoint of shame, of creating more of this
- 15:35this body love and this internal love and safety and all those things?
- 15:40Where does the circle of sisterhood play a role in your work?
- 15:43That is such a great question.
- 15:45And I have found that I mean, I've been a big promo proponent and guide in the realms of
- 15:50women's circles.
- 15:51So in and of itself, it's just a magical tool as I mentioned and you just spoke to as well.
- 15:58The one thing that's really healing is having sisters that are able to look upon you with
- 16:05loving eyes and witness this very private part of your body and have them reflect back what
- 16:15they see.
- 16:16And then if you have a group and each woman gets a reading, for example, or a little mini
- 16:21reading, because there's only, you know, a full reading can you could it could be hours of time
- 16:26because there's so much pussy wants to share with us when we give her the space.
- 16:30And she needs the space.
- 16:31She wants the space.
- 16:32She requires the space.
- 16:34Right?
- 16:34The more you look, the more you learn, the more she reveals, the more right?
- 16:37There's there's a lot to do with spaciousness.
- 16:41But the one thing I've noticed when I've done groups where there's a couple of women in a row
- 16:45that will get a reading, either online or in person, women are besides them beside
- 16:52themselves in the best way when they realize every woman's pussy design is unique, as unique
- 16:59as their face, as unique as their fingerprint.
- 17:02No two pussies are alike.
- 17:04Those they might look a little similar, have a little vibe kinda like, oh, you remind me of my
- 17:08cousin.
- 17:08You remind me of my best friend.
- 17:09Right?
- 17:10But they're unique.
- 17:11They're as unique as your fingerprint, and each one is so beautiful and has its profound
- 17:19stories that it wants to share.
- 17:21So when you have a few of them that happen to be, you know, shown in a row, everybody's lit
- 17:28up.
- 17:29Women are, like, up, up in each other.
- 17:31They're, like, they're feeling so connected, so excited.
- 17:36They're breaking through their barriers, their beliefs, their body shame.
- 17:39I mean, it's it's, like, it's magic.
- 17:42It is truly, like, the fastest thing I've ever seen.
- 17:46And I've like I said, I've been leading women's circles for almost nearly twenty years in some
- 17:50form.
- 17:51And when you're sitting together with women talking about or even talking about, but
- 17:57looking at our portals, it bonds them like no other.
- 18:01Right?
- 18:01There's just no more hierarchy.
- 18:03There's everything is just like, oh, what else?
- 18:05Who else?
- 18:05You know?
- 18:06Show me yours.
- 18:07Show me mine.
- 18:08Show me yours.
- 18:08It just becomes this really powerful connector.
- 18:12Yeah.
- 18:12Oh, I feel it too.
- 18:13I feel it too.
- 18:14And I think I think you said it, like, so well.
- 18:17Right?
- 18:17When we see that each one of us is so unique in these ways, instead of comparing, it's like it
- 18:23helps with that celebrating.
- 18:25Right?
- 18:25It's like, oh, we stopped that comparing.
- 18:26We realized we get to celebrate all of our own uniquenesses and and beauty.
- 18:32So I just love it so much.
- 18:33And so if people are, like, hearing us because I I know sometimes hearing the word pussy
- 18:39alone, like we started this episode with, can already be, like, you know, sometimes for
- 18:43people to hear, now we're talking about the messages in the pussy and looking at each
- 18:47other's or, you know, getting pussy readings from you.
- 18:50And so from that standpoint, if somebody wants to take that initial, like, first step around
- 18:56like, wow.
- 18:56This sounds really interesting, but I'm a little scared and I'm a little timid.
- 19:00What is a way into your your portals?
- 19:04What is a way into your work that is kind of that toe dip to just get people just started
- 19:09and acquainted before, you know, going a little bit further?
- 19:13Mhmm.
- 19:14That's great.
- 19:14And we've created this just for that very woman who feels exactly as you describe.
- 19:21We have a free mini course, which is self guided, and it's called the Love Your Yoni mini
- 19:27course.
- 19:28And that allows you to, take three different modules of education and, exercises that we
- 19:35invite you to participate in.
- 19:37The first one is getting to watch this incredible movie called this eight minute film
- 19:42called the secrets of the universe where that film alone is an alchemical transmission.
- 19:49So if you're anyone that feels squeamish particularly about the or feels judgment about
- 19:55how pussy looks, if you've been conditioned in that way or have had experiences that have had
- 20:01you feel that way, that film alone will have you literally see the divine design of pussy in
- 20:07a completely different way.
- 20:08Like, I don't even have to say anything.
- 20:10That film transmutes things.
- 20:12So you'll get a chance to watch that, and then you'll be guided, along the next two modules
- 20:17to, go out and do some nature yoni safaris, which will make sense when you see the the film
- 20:23and do some journaling and, get connected with your own pussy.
- 20:28I don't wanna give too much away, but it's a perfect place because you don't have to show up
- 20:32you with other women.
- 20:33It just gets delivered to your inbox, and you can take it at your own pace.
- 20:37And then there is a, a Facebook group that you could come and be a part of if you wanna share
- 20:43what you're learning and discover and meet some of the other women along the way.
- 20:47Amazing.
- 20:48And so you guys will have the all of that in the show notes from today.
- 20:52Definitely make sure you read over Sierra's bio too because there's so many things she offers.
- 20:56Like, in addition to the physiology and various types of of women's empowerment work in
- 21:02circles, she She also is a cofounder of Eden World, which is a is work with couples and
- 21:09helping couples have more loving and deeper relationships.
- 21:13I've done some work with her in that program, and it's just absolutely amazing.
- 21:17You get, like, 5,000, you know, bazillion stars and reviews from me.
- 21:20So Oh, okay.
- 21:21Definitely go check that out, you guys too.
- 21:23That is in there as well.
- 21:24And before we wrap up today, do you have any, like, final words of wisdom you wanna leave
- 21:31with us?
- 21:34You know, we live in a time where while women have come so far in so many ways, we still
- 21:43haven't really fully realized our fullest expression.
- 21:47And I believe that that is because that part of our bodies is still not getting its due
- 21:55attention or its due listening.
- 21:57And I and I see where we, the way we treat our planet as a whole, the way we treat our mothers
- 22:05as a whole, the way we devalue, you know, stay at home moms because of the get out there and
- 22:10make money ladies and all of that for better or for worse, for good or for whatever.
- 22:14However, I truly believe that when we develop a right relationship to our bodies for sure as a
- 22:21whole, but inclusive of and very particularly our pussies, and the more women that claim and
- 22:29understand the divinity that is between our legs, the more we will see an outward shift in
- 22:35how the whole of humanity gets treated and treats our planet.
