Oh wow. We're back for round 2 of the Em & Em podcast adventures. We're back with one of my best friends, Emily Cossin, for another episode on sex, love, relationships, and everything in between. We opened up a Q&A box on Instagram for you all to ask whatever you want, and guess what: 99.9% of all questions were pertaining to sex and relationships. So, we're talking about sex and relationships. Here's what's on the menu: -period sex (really starting off strong here) -how to (should you?) hit on men at the gym, at the bar, etc. -making sex more spiritual between you and your partner  -does botox in your jaw interfere with botox (or having a small mouth)  -Emily C's jaw warmup exercises -negative and positive deal breakers in relationships  -advice for going YEARS without sex because casual hookups aren't for you  -rock bottom with relationships, men, and craving attention vs connection -going from hating/avoiding being alone and single to thriving being alone and single -the “scary” parts of letting someone new into your life romantically -the “death” of singleness -needing vs wanting someone -why codependency sucks -mismatched sex drives in a relationship -the importance of feeling safe and supported in sex and relationships -why we’re pretty and single -navigating long distance relationships, particularly in the early stages of dating -setting boundaries within long distance relationships -butt stuff -frequency of self-pleasure -the clit sucker and the tongue (self-pleasure toys for the gals) -the best lube in the world (and it’s all natural) and refresher wipes -the most Taurus experience of my life (it involves said lube and silk pajamas)   -morning vs night sex -“surprise midnight penis” -GET US A LUBE SPONSOR -how Emily C cut her cl*t on accident -are we into porn? -how our childhoods shaped and influenced our relationships/thoughts on relationships and intimacy as adults -best/worst sex -having sex with the same person (not at the same time lmao) -sexual etiquette in the bedroom -did I shit on a dick? -advice for finding yourself after moving to a new city -rebuilding confidence after you’ve lost it -GO TO THERAPY -developing emotional intelligence and intuition surrounding your own emotions and needs -making friends and getting out of your comfort zone as an introvert ...what a journey.

Today we're bringing a repeat guest back on the show for a very different episode than our first interview. Alyssa Olenick, aka the Honey Badger Mountain Goat, is one of my favorite internet humans. A brilliant PhD student, an incredible content creator, and just a really cool human, today's conversation with Lyss gets... really real. We talk all about experiencing large growth on social media in one of the toughest years to be a human at all, aka 2020. We talk growth, we talk the realities of "influencing," high levels of stress, and as the title would imply, losing our sleep, hair, and minds.  FOLLOW LYSS ON INSTAGRAM LISTEN TO OUR FIRST PODCAST EPISODE HERE ---- Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

You all are in for a TREAT today... First thing's first: today's conversation is definitely more adult in nature, so not the best for listening around little ones, at work, etc. Probably best with headphones OR listening with your gal pals if we're being honest. Today, I chatted with one of my best friends, Emily Cossin. What we covered:  -how we met by dating the same guy (it's a good story) -letting Emily roast me and my dating life -learning to deal with rejection and how it's not always "there must be something wrong with me if they aren't into me" -why rejection is a blessing -physical vs emotional rejection  -questions and red/green flags for first dates -developing sexual confidence -self pleasure/masturbation -getting to know yourself sexually  -demanding what you want/need from sex and how to speak up to your partner -NO ONE LOOKS CUTE WHEN THEY ORGASM  -every vagina is beautiful in it's own way, okay?  EMILY'S INSTAGRAM  ---- Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

Today’s episode is going to be all about productivity. 2020 was a year where more of us transitioned to a work from home structure, and that transition was one of the things I was asked about the most. I’ve worked from home from my computer as an online fitness coach since December 2015, and I also did a good chunk of my degree online when I moved out of state. So, needless to say I’ve gotten pretty decent at being productive from home and from a computer. Whether you’re a work-from-home-er or you’re simply trying to find ways to maximize your time, this episode should give you some solid takeaways that you can incorporate into your day.  Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

It's a new year, which often means new year's fitness resolutions. I wanted to take some time in today's episode to talk about why continuing to under eat chronically may be making it harder, or actually impossible, for you to reach your fat loss goals. From the physiological to psychological, chronic under-feeding can thwart your fat loss efforts and start to have negative effects on your health. Episode 101 is here to distill the nerdy stuff into an easy to digest episode so that you can be a more empowered and educated eater for your short and long term health and fitness goals.  Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

Now more than ever with lockdowns happening worldwide, many people are spending more time alone than they normally do. For some people, this is really uncomfortable and scary. I wanted to record today's episode to talk through some of my own pivotal periods of solitude within my life that ultimately led to me becoming the woman I am today, who loves herself, who is herself, and who ENJOYS time with herself. I'm hoping this show today can help you lean into your alone time and use it to grow in knowledge, in self-understanding, in self love, and in strength.  Interested in working with EDF Coaching to reach your fitness and lifestyle goals?

First and foremost, a disclaimer that I think is, or at least should be, relevant to any podcast you consume or really any content you consume ever. For one, you don’t have to agree with every single thing a guest says. We’re all different, and that’s the beauty of both humanity and podcasting. Secondly, go into this with an open mind. We do talk a lot about spirituality and psychedelics in this episode, so proceed at your own risk. Today we have a crowd favorite back on the show: the one, the only, Nick Komodina.  Nick is a long time friend, basically my brother. He first came on the show back in 2019 with one of the most shared episodes that EMBody Radio has ever had. On today’s show, we’re basically giving you your intro into personal growth in 2021. We’re going over Nick’s journey into meditation, what it’s done for him, why people struggle to go inward, how to set yourself up for TRUE, LASTING success in the new year vs continually beating your head into the wall and not getting anywhere, and Nick’s experience with psychedelics, including his recent trip during the great conjunction that absolutely changed his life.  SHOW NOTES -Nick’s morning routine -how Nick got into meditation -“JUST BE” and getting out of the chaos addiction trap -shifting from “I’m not doing enough” to doing higher quality, more intentional things -the “fly at the window” analogy -why you’re scared of meditation and time inward -ending your abusive self-relationship and drawing your “separation line” -why you SHOULDN’T set a fitness goal as part of your new year’s resolution, and where to “place” your resolutions instead -asking the uncomfortable questions, like “Where do I suck?” -Being bold in your goals -Why specific goal setting helps you actually reach the goals you have -Triggers as opportunities -Psychedelics -Nick’s first mushroom journey -the great vortex The Great Conjunction and the trip that changed Nick’s life -Nick’s universal + spiritual awakening/”death” -accessing your TRUE reality and self in a world that shies against it -some pitfalls with western medicine and blood work -standardized society and the “box” of modern culture and the resulting lack of creativity and open thought -getting off the “track” -showing up differently in his life after his cosmic experience with psychedelics -being who you truly ARE -start with your frequency -this is your SIGN -Nick’s top tips for heading into a new year and what to invest in Where to find Nick Pre order an IMPAKT planner here (limited availability) Inquire to join Team EDF to reach your biggest goals this year WHERE TO FIND ME: Instagram YouTube Website (sign up for the email list here!)
