TSGS 016: LaSara Firefox , "Sex-Positive and Body-Positive Parenting"
In this interview you will learn the basics of sex and body-positive parenting and get some specific recommendations on how all of us can unhook from the negative cultural influences around these issues. Beth and Lasara delve into the issues of boundaries, what they are, and how they are useful in relationships and parenting: “As a parent, setting my own boundaries allows my children to have their own boundaries. It gives them a language around having them, and it models positive boundary awareness and self-care”. Also hear from Lasara about the age-old question, ‘When is the right time to talk about sex?’. Lasara gives an incredible answer, both honest and sensible, but also takes into account what the parent is able to consciously give in that moment. This will support all parents in the journey of supporting children to be healthy and empowered, while also taking care of themselves. Finally, body image is faced in this fantastic interview. Lasara Firefox: “I really think that nakedness is a huge component of body positivity. If we don’t see how bodies age, it is much more challenging for us to have a positive relationship with our bodies as they change”. Get insight into a new system of relating and parenting, and let go of our old cultural adages such as ‘Bonding through self-deprecation’ and ‘focusing on what is wrong’. This interview will get you on your way to a new way engaging and parenting.

TSGS 015: LaSara Firefox , "Embodied Divinity"
Join Beth Crittenden as she interviews Lasara Firefox, writer, ritualist, NLP (neurolinguistic language programmer) Master trainer, and Sex Positive Educator. Beth and Lasara discuss the Unification of the mind, body, and spirit, and being the presence of love. According to Lasara, our body is the way to access divinity, while our mind is simply a construct. “Mind is an abstraction, a concept, it’s not a thing….as we become more conscious of the process, we see that mind is occurring in your physiological process”. You will also learn about the differences between projection and attachment (which most mistakenly call love) and real love. “A lot of what we think of as love is actually attachment. Actual love is the ability to become present with the person as they are arising in this very moment….that is embodied presence….more often than not, we are interacting with our projections, not actually interacting with another person, and this is disembodiment, this is not presence”. Beth and Lasara discuss presence, what it is, and how to achieve it. “Sex is such a potent doorway to surrender to the cessation – falling so deeply into presence that I cease, and the other ceases, and there is nothing left but presence”. If you have ever been curious about how spirit, sexuality, and the body all come together, this episode will support your own unification, and leave you turned on to boot.
