Vibrators

from Maintenance Phase

It's a sexual health episode! This week, Mike and Aubrey dive into the hotly debated medical history of vibrators and ask: who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Note: A previous version of this episode included language that referred to “the female downstairs,” implying both that gender is linked to genitals (it isn’t) and that vibrators were used primarily by cis women (they weren’t). We love our trans listeners and we don’t want to do anything that makes them feel excluded, so we’ve removed the sections where that language appeared. We'll be discussing this and our approach to handling feedback in more detail soon.

Explicit The Starseed Awakening Podcast Monet Noctaris The Starseed Awakener Podcast is a living archive of Monet’s earlier body of work.What began as a spiritual podcast gradually became a real-time record of a much larger unfolding — a plantary gridwork mission, a process of remembrance, spiritual sovereignty, embodiment, planetary repair, and the dismantling of distorted systems of power.Because the work unfolded in real time, this archive is best understood chronologically. Earlier episodes reflect the stage of understanding Monet was in at the time, and some perspectives may have shifted as the mission, language, and larger pattern became clearer.This is not a polished teaching library or a fixed doctrine. It is a record of an evolving mission stream.Monet’s current platform, Monet Noctaris, is not a departure from this work. It is the next phase of it.Where The Starseed Awakener documented the mission as it emerged, Monet Noctaris is where the work becomes more embodied, grounded, and accessible to the wider human field — f Explicit Kids with Big Emotions Podcast Andi Clark If your child has big emotions that affect your daily life, you are not alone.Since my son was born he has experienced intense anxiety and emotional outbursts that have been challenging. This led me to become a sleep, stress, and resilience coach helping me understand and learn how to regulate my son's nervous system so he was not living in a stressed fight or flight state all of the time. The school environment heightened his anxiety as they focused on managing his outbursts rather than understanding their root causes.While navigating these complexities, I’ve faced numerous challenges and setbacks. However, each phase of my son's development has brought new opportunities for growth and learning for both of us. It’s a continuous process, but it is possible to support and understand children with big emotions more effectively.Through this podcast, I aim to reassure and inspire you.
