Mandy has come up with a fuck off-saying to dare to face her own karma and make it more playful, and D is reciting poetical philosophy from Rumi.

A topic that’s on many people’s lips right now, is understanding the contrasts of love and fear.

This week’s episode gives you tools to handle extreme anxiety under 3 minutes, how to break the cycle of negative overthinking with the power of your breath, and how to start developing a healthy relationship style inside out with your inner child.

   Choosing Light: An introduction to Understanding Pain and Pleasure

   In this podcast’s very first episode, D & Mandy explain how they work with trauma healing and stress management, from a not so lovey dovey point of view. They take you right into the depth of existential kink and holistic psychology, to show the importance of shadow work when you want to create a change in your life. They tell you how to use fashion to style yourself into the darkness within you, and how you go from living life in excruciating sorrow to orgasmic euphoria, with holistic styling alchemy. It’s one thing to be a victim to a circumstance, but a completely different thing to be in a victim mentality. Here, you’ll learn the distinction. You get tools to regulate your nervous system to help you stay balanced in everyday life. And if a guided box breathing meditation isn’t your cup of tea, D & Mandy provide journaling life hacks to make you grasp what’s going on in your subconscious. So that you can take back the power of your life. The underlying message is that we human beings have only been given one life this lifetime, so it’s time to learn to make damn sure that we’re living it for our own sake and no one else’s. Book Recommendations: Existential Kink (Carolyn Elliott PhD), How to Do the Work (The Holistic Psychologist Dr Nicole LePera), The Creative Act: A Way of Being (Rick Rubin), The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle) Redirection is a natural part of life and growth. Shadow work is essential for personal transformation. Authenticity requires deep self-exploration and honesty. Grounding practices help regulate emotions and connect with the present. Change can be daunting, but it's necessary for growth. Pleasure and pain are interconnected in the healing process. Journaling can facilitate deeper introspection and understanding. Self-discovery is a continuous journey that requires patience. Embracing vulnerability can lead to empowerment. Everyone has the ability to express their truth and creativity.
