The Story of a Tattoo

When the Sex in the Pews podcast first started, we received a letter from a young Ohio woman named Kiersty Correll. She had discovered the show after a brief encounter with Owen Rivers at a concert she was performing. She wrote, “Sex in the Pews saved my life from sexual suppression”. Kiersty is bisexual. Her […]

Distressed? Destress.

Feeling distressed lately? Destress. Research consistently indicates the number one cause of disease and premature death is mismanaged stress. Often people think when they are in distress or are depressed that there is something “wrong” with them. However, what if we would re-couch the experience from an implication of morality to simply a description of […]

Mercury Retrograde

The Sun comes up from the East and sets in the West daily. The Moon takes on a variety of shapes until it is full monthly. Or do they? The Sun and the Moon are always the same size. They just look differently to us according to the time of day and month. And depending […]

Dealing with Life’s Curveballs

In my coaching practice I often use sports analogies because they are so applicable to real life scenarios. It’s why I enjoy sports so much. You get to participate and witness in an individual or group activity, something that is not a “life or death” situation. However, the lessons gleaned from them can be applied […]

The G-Spot Blog: Ultra Feminine Spirit

Happy Weekend, You Beautiful Humans! On his old public radio show, Garrison Keillor used to introduce the bit about his fictitious home town in Minnesota by saying, “It’s been a quite week in Lake Wobegon”.  Well, here at the home offices at Osprey Lake in Riverview, it has been the opposite of a quiet week.
