  • Let's Talk About Sex with Nathalie Mills
    May 22 2023

    Let's Talk About Sex and Consent

    The very first time I heard Nathalie Mills speak was when I watched SBS Insight in May 2023 (episode 10). Nathalie was one of the guests talking about sex and consent and I was captivated by her energy and attitude towards sex and sexuality. I give my thanks to the producers of the show who put me in touch with Nathalie because I feel I have met a soul sister.

    Nathalie is French-Canadian, grew up in Haiti, was schooled by nuns, and received no sex education. Nathalie works as a nurse and runs her own clinic specialising in lymphodema therapy, Complex Decongestive Therapy and personal coaching. Nathalie has also commenced her journey learning the art of yoni repatterning and I cannot wait to learn more about this from Nathalie.

    If you want to connect with Nathalie you can reach out via her website and Facebook.

  • Amanda Kate is a Divine, Messy, Human and so are you.
    May 15 2023

    A warning about today’s conversation: domestic violence and strong language.

    Today’s guest is Amanda Kate, a Kinesiologist, Mentor, Mother and more. Author of 'Divine. Messy. Human. A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence', Amanda released the book with the information, tips and practices that have helped her move from self-loathing to self-acceptance, self-love and self-empowerment.


    A recovering people-pleaser and self-flagellator, she walks the path straddling the Divine and Messy daily. Always growing, developing and learning new ways of being to, hopefully, one day leave the Earth better than she found it.

    Amanda Kate helps people to regain their vitality, smashing through their internal glass ceiling and limitations to find new levels of health, vitality and abundance. She also works with business owners to increase their vibration and attract greater wealth and prosperity.

    We explore the power of owning that special word C*NT and I offer myself to Amanda to perform publicly a kinesiology reading on me so that others can learn what a session is like.

    We also talk about Amanda’s experience with domestic violence. Knowing that this podcast is listened to by people all over the world, If this episode raises any issues for you, please contact a support agency, relative, friend or call your emergency number.

  • A conversation with a male sex worker, Samuel Hunter.
    May 2 2023

    Welcome to the Maven’s Private Diaries. My guest today is Samuel Hunter who I met during the recording of my appearance on SBS Insight talking about Midlife Sexual Awakenings. Samuel was there to discuss his experience as a sex worker.

    Samuel has had a varied working life. He’s been a mower man, a videographer, specialist salesman in the mining industry and before COVID experienced a moment that changed his life. Samuel made the ultimate career switch and became a sex worker.

    In our chat we explored sex and disability, emotional celibacy, female orgasm, movies to watch, and surprisingly, Samuel’s own personal experience of body shaming and how he feels about his ‘dad bod’.

    Samuel is certainly not a ‘dial-a-dick’ sex worker and is someone I would recommend to women who need a safe space to explore and reconnect with their sexuality.

    I admire Samuel greatly. Make sure you explore his website and the links to recommended viewing.

    I hope you enjoy this special chat. I certainly did.
