Dancing with Cannabis, Psychedelics, Estrogen and oOrgasms There is a magical dance party continually at play in your mind and body. Your friends have arrived and are ready to party.   As the ‘Hostess with the Mostess’ it is your job to set the stage. This is especially true for women. Communication is key. Be selective of who you invite and keep an eye on how things are going. It’s all about balance.  You never know when you may need to drop in and keep the peace.   Dialing

A series of serendipitous events culminating on July 4th led me to signing up for the 2025 Sunset Triathlon  in Boulder, CO this August 23rd. The best part is I will be doing it with my oldest son, Sam, just days after his brother Isaac gets married. I will be competing the "Diplo Way" . Like Diplo and his LA marathon, a triathlon is completely new to me and I fully intend to push through in an elevated flow state. If you follow my YestoSex newsletter you may know I was born

Not ready to let go of PRIDE quite yet… If you have not had the pleasure of binging Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution,  I highly recommend it! This 3-Part Series produced by the BBC/PBS tackles the musical history of DISCO from its break in underground dance parties that offered space and voice to marginalized communities to topping the “charts” globally. Its rise and fall came quickly. By July 12, 1979, it would burn at Kimensky Park, “Disco Demolition” as the final nail com

What does it mean to “feed your brain”?  For me it is the careful balance between mindfulness, flow states, food, sleep, stress, and an intentional dance with psychoactive substances. It starts with being present in mind and body, with listening and feeling into the magical connectivity happening as neurons signal brain and body to work in concert.   While getting mind and body to flow seamlessly does not always come easy, with patience and practice, it is possible.  Be Still

I’ve Cracked the Code on SxX, Drugs and FLO Yes! I’ve cracked the code on dialing in bliss and FLO states.  Born a 1968 Scorpio, today another year is behind me. Despite my age, I am in the best shape of my life, both mentally and physically.  It all started with prioritizing pleasure. What happens when you FLO?  Ever felt fully present?  That place where time is elusive, slowed. Where relevance has faded enabling complete immersion into a moment. A place to indulge a single

If you follow YestoSex you know my film and music recommendations lean into artists that shock, twist and rewire one’s thinking. Films shamed, censored and banned by the powers-that-be while delivering cinematographic brilliance and often a cult following. This week’s Director Pick – Ken Russell –  is no different. THE DEVILS (1971) - Now Streaming on Criterion Collection Introducing  THE DEVILS , Ken Russell’s 1971 scandalously salacious film now streaming on Criterion. Know

The Mary Tyler Moore Show The year is 1970. Leave it to Beaver is well in the rear view mirror and the Cleaver’s marriage is 50% less likely to survive the decades to come. Sitcoms reflect the new status quo. The Odd Couple , Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, struggle to survive life as two unhappily divorced dudes living together without the help of wives. Both the civil rights and feminist movements are in full swing and vying for the pulpit. Culture is running scared and chan

Adrenaline + Dopamine to Fight Viruses On a recent trip to Chicago I coupled hang time with my grandkids with a conference. Between the petri dish that comes with kids and close talking at an event my immune system did not hold, a virus got me. The Universe knows how to slow me down. While I will push through most cold and flu symptoms, I am very susceptible to laryngitis. When my voice goes, it's time to stop. As the seasons change and travel ramps up for the Holidays be min

Birds & Bees and Honey Please! In ancient times, honey was considered a luxury item. It was a symbol of sweetness, devotion and longevity. Cleopatra moisturized and bathed in it, and the Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese each succumbed to its magical healing powers. While I have always loved honey, it is only in recent years that I learned to include it as a staple in my daily skincare routine.  Why honey? As the founder of oOYes  and Uh Huh Honey ,  I have discovered its healing

Love and Marriage This summer I walked my son down the aisle. It was a happy handoff to a woman who loves him madly. The day was magical. It was full of love and family and the excitement that comes as young love blossoms into a lifelong partnership. While the institution of marriage has provided me with its own set of challenges, I wholeheartedly believe in LOVE. The Times They Are A-Changin’ When I was coming into adulthood finding a husband was often declared among the top
