    Sunny Megatron - Expat in the Azores, Portugal, Ep 54
    Sep 9 2024
    Please join us as Sunny describes what her new life is like an expat in Portugal. In 2023, her family got rid of most of their belongings from a lifetime in the U.S. and moved to the Azores, an archipelago in the mid-Atlantic that is part of Portugal. The islands are characterized by gorgeous, dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, green pastures, and hedgerows of blue hydrangeas. It’s even more breathtaking than it sounds. The islands can be found right between New York and Portugal, about three hours either way. So, in this episode, Sunny tells us about her journey and what it’s like being an ex-pat on a beautiful little island. Is it the little slice of heaven that it seems? And what is it like being far away, as we, here in the U.S., cascade towards our election day with the hopes of maintaining our democracy. We will find out all this and more in this episode. Sunny's bio related to kink: Sunny began teaching about BDSM in 2010. Her area of expertise is the soft skills--which center around things like ethics, cultivating self-awareness, and strategies for effective communication. She received a FROST Certificate of Gratitude in 2020 honoring her service to the kink community, was voted XBIZ sexpert of the year in 2021, and Kinkly’s sex blogging superhero in 2017. Her alternative sexuality focused podcast American Sex was awarded the AASECT podcast award in 2020. Sunny also creates curriculum about BDSM for sexuality professionals. Some of her most recent projects include designing & teaching the BDSM unit for a well-known sex educator certification program plus a lesson for the Sexual Health Alliance’s Kink Informed Certification Program for therapists and other care professionals. Sunny’s first book, Customizable Kink: A Strategic Guide to Erotic Play is scheduled to be released in 2022.

  • Jane Whitlock , A Death Doula on Life's Mystical Final Chapter, Ep 53

    Jane Whitlock , A Death Doula on Life's Mystical Final Chapter, Ep 53
    Aug 30 2024
    In this episode, the amazing death doula, Jane Whitlock, joins us. In the U.S., there is so much avoidance of understanding death and preparing for death, but if we lean in to learning and feeling, we can learn so much from dying and the death process including how to live, the mysteries and spiritual aspects of death, and how to die under the best circumstances possible for both us and our loved ones. Jane once said, “In circumstances in which death is not sudden, if we treated death as we treat birth, then death would not be a time of fear and anxiety but love, connection and a time to access our deepest emotions.” It can be such a better experience if we learn to manage our fear and grief. We also get into how to frame death for our own spiritual evolution, for instance Jane has stated, and I’m paraphrasing, “The soul should be in the driver’s seat with death is riding shot gun. The ego should be in the back seat” as a way to look at death through a Buddhist lens. We hope you join us for this fascinating episode of Open Deeply in which we face what is for many, a biggest fear. Jane's Bio: Jane Whitlock is an end of life doula, a passionate end of life educator and an arm chair astrologer. She believes that by holding the truth that we will die close, we will not only have a more meaningful life but a more meaningful death. She did a Ted talk in 2018 entitled, "What Death Taught Me About Life" which launched her into the field of death education. She is the co founder of the MN Death Collaborative an end of life resource for all facing death. In 2021 she co founded Full Circle Care, an end of life program at a skilled nursing facility. As a Gemini rising she is a talker so prepare yourselves!
