On this week’s podcast episode, Ellie, Rob and Aimee dive into a conversation that invites us to take a deeper look into everyday relationship dynamics.

From sharing hard-earned wisdom from our own journeys, to dissecting the patterns we see playing out in the popular show "Nobody Wants This," to questionable dynamics we’ve observed on social media… we leave no stone unturned!

Our conversation digs into potential societal shifts, where evolving gender roles require a delicate balance. What’s required for men to step into their purpose as protectors and providers, while women embody their “soft power” and feminine essence, without burning out?

In the light of such profound insights, we announce our exciting upcoming event, the (co-ed!!) Sacred Union weekend, set for January in Austin, Texas. The anticipation builds as we invite our listeners to join us on this transformational journey. It's a three-day event where we'll be diving deep into relationships, healing, and personal growth. We're so excited to share this experience with you all.

It’s the end of an era. One year ago, we had no idea this was coming. And today, it seems like the most obvious thing in the world. The chapter of Desire on Fire is coming to an end. And with this death, comes an exciting and powerful re-birth.

We have been going through such an intense metamorphosis over the last year, both personally and professionally. While Ellie’s been gestating a baby, we’ve been gestating this re-brand, re-birth.

Though our women’s work isn’t going anywhere, it became clear that the time has come to let go of our brand and business as we’ve known it, to make space for a new depth and frequency of our women’s work, and to create space for the men’s path, and co-ed work, within our community.

So, we are letting Desire on Fire die, and we are going into the void for the next three months, while Ellie is on maternity leave and Aimee’s focusing on dating and making space for love & partnership. And in the spaciousness, we’re opening to receive the name of our new co-ed company. We’re totally open to your name ideas!

Thank you for participating in our community and receiving our work so openly, as Desire on Fire. We’re so grateful and excited to move through this big relationSHIFT with you. Thank you for being along for the ride with us.

Hey, beautiful souls! This week’s episode feels vulnerable, yet important, to share with all of you.

I, Aimee, am letting you in on the intimate journey I’ve been on that’s led me to decide to have a cosmetic surgery procedure. I’m revealing my fears, feelings, and perspective-changes along the way, that led me to finally gifting myself something I’ve wanted for nearly a decade!

In this solo podcast, I share how my views on beauty, radiance, vanity and self-love have transformed and evolved over time.

I also explore the pitfalls of the body positivity movement and the nuances and complexities of wanting to be a “natural” woman, embracing her organic beauty, while also doing things to improve, upgrade and modify our body & appearance, in order to feel attractive, healthy and confident.

I hope this episode is valuable, and challenges your perspectives and beliefs around beauty, plastic surgery, body-love, and how you source your radiance!

Hi Desire on Fire fam! Ellie here. This week’s episode is all about celebrating new beginnings, because we're diving deep into something you may have seen us share online and wondered about: the beautiful world of baby blessing ceremonies. This episode is inspired by the baby blessing Aimee recently hosted for me, as I enter the 3rd trimester and move closer to birthing my baby girl into the world. I want every mama to receive this kind of love and support, so I wanted to share what actually goes into hosting something like this, so you can create one yourself, if you feel called! And who better to navigate this journey with me than Aimee, who's always got amazing insights on creating meaningful experiences. We shared clear and simple steps, from who to invite, how to set it up, and how to structure your ceremony. So whether you're a soon-to-be mama yourself, a supportive sister, or just someone who wants to celebrate life passages in a way that truly matters, there’s lots of gold for you in this episode.

We also made an invitation at the end of the episode to an incredible free virtual event a sister of ours is hosting, all about creating a new paradigm for pregnancy, birth, postpartum and motherhood!

“REBIRTH EARTH is a FREE 5-day live online transformational journey to reclaim the roots of your innate feminine essence and deepen harmony in the world, which begins in our homes.

Are you ready to transform your life, your family, and create a ripple effect that spans for generations to come?

I hope you will join me and the other incredible speakers in these thought provoking and inspiring conversations as we cultivate this community!

Hey Desire on Fire fam, Aimee here! In March I attended ISTA level 2 (a deep, shamanic, initiatory training) in Bali, and I’m finally ready to share with you about it. This training was intense, forcing me to face my protective mechanisms (especially with men), my fear of rejection, and my deep yearning to be loved, chosen, claimed and taken by a man. In this episode, I share about the messy, vulnerable, and at-times-humiliating journey I went on in this retreat, and the healing that came out of it. I share a particularly hot moment, and let you in on my experience meeting a couple that changed my life. Enjoy the listen!

Chapters:

03:41 Interrupting my Bali vacation for a deep personal initiation

07:02 Seeking personal insights and healing through this retreat

12:13 Revealing my fear of rejection and desire for acceptance.

16:20 Practicing polarity, surrendering, and a hot moment.

20:27 Expressing gratitude, opening up about my fears and discomfort.

23:35 Sharing my insecurities about my attractiveness, receiving reassurance, and unexpected comfort.

24:36 Emotional experience, fear, joy, acceptance.

27:56 Sharing vulnerably led to feeling so seen, accepted, and loved by a man.

33:52 Sharing gratitude with a man who embodies what I'm seeking.

We'll be sharing the nitty-gritty struggles (and the unexpected breakthroughs!) that comes from embracing your feminine energy. Forget the outdated housewife stereotype – this is about trading in the gotta-do-it-all hustle, shifting out of overwhelm and burnout, and creating hot, harmonious relationships with men. In this week’s episode we share how learning to ask for help, and receiving the support and love you need to embrace a more surrendered way of living, is the key for unlocking your feminine power— and we share practical tips on how to get there. Get ready to ditch the drama, embrace your radiance, and unlock deeper connections for relationship bliss!

12:07 - 16:07 The backwards values in our culture and the deep work many of us need to do to truly embody our radiance and attract an aligned, devoted partner

16:07 - 17:50 How your out-of-balance masculine energy may be blocking the men in your life from feeling inspired to provide for and cherish you

17:50 - 20:22 Why it’s so helpful and important for women to be in community with other women who are embodied in their feminine energy, receptivity and respect for the masculine, in order to make this shift yourself

20:33 Our take on what’s behind the current climate around relationships… ‘toxic’ masculinity, failed relationships, 50% divorce rate.
