  • VBB 393 Cheryl Fidelman: Codependent Awakening!

    VBB 393 Cheryl Fidelman: Codependent Awakening!
    2026/10/04
    Cheryl Fidelman is a Codependence Recovery Specialist and a thought-provoker in the Human Potential Movement. She’s worked as a coach, educator, and speaker for over 15 years and believes that Codependence is one of the most obvious ways we reveal our unhealed trauma in relationships.

    Growing up in a chaotic household with an emotionally unstable mother, Cheryl openly admits that her path to recovery was prompted by surviving childhood trauma and by navigating severely codependent relationships. Her healing journey spanned more than 30 years of therapy, 12-step programs (including Codependents Anonymous), plant medicine journeys, and various alternative healing modalities.

    In our conversation, she shares that her soapbox is that she’s out to normalize codependency. In her own words: "I wake up every day with that purpose, mission, and passion, and I've done it for 20 years. This is the rock I'm pushing up the hill. I want to normalize it because I think it's wildly common. It's especially common among high achievers because everything looks fine on the outside, but behind the scenes, there's a personal disconnect with themselves, in their intimate relationship, or with their body, or they're achieving because that's what their traumatic identity tells them to do. So that’s it; I'm just out to normalize it, and I'm gonna keep going with that torch."

Before we can build healthier relationships, stronger intimacy, or more confidence, we first have to be willing to understand what is actually true about us, including our desires, patterns, needs, shame, attachment tendencies, fears, and the parts of ourselves we may have learned to judge, hide, or suppress.

    Nikki is also the author of The Intimacy Archives, a library of thoughtful, straight-talking articles about sex, relationships, confidence, desire, communication, and the psychology behind how we connect, free from shame or judgement. Get ready to get intimate.

    VBB 389: The Paradox at the Heart of The Bitch!
    2026/08/30
    Welcome back to the Virgin Beauty B!tch Podcast. Here, we challenge social stereotypes and encourage women to embrace their full selves—including parts of themselves that society would rather they disown. In this conversation, Christopher and Heather explore the powerful and complex relationship women have with the word "bitch," a controversial identity that can also inspire transformation.

    The "bitch paradox" is an experience women face when encouraged to be bold and empowered, only to be criticized or ostracized when their confidence makes others uncomfortable. It’s a journey women undertake as they confront their conditioning, discover their true identities, and navigate the fine line between self-expression and societal acceptance.

    There’s no sugar or spice in this conversation. Get ready for an honest, insightful, and inspiring exploration of what it means to be "that bitch"—and why your journey toward accepting her matters more than you might think.

  • VBB 388 Melinda Love: Discovering The Hot Conscious Bitch!

    VBB 388 Melinda Love: Discovering The Hot Conscious Bitch!
    2026/08/17
    Melinda Love is a women's empowerment and sexuality coach, consulting hypnotist, artist, and educator with 19 years in the healing arts and personal growth. Melinda has also worked consciously with the Bitch Archetype since 2018 and unconsciously, long before that. Her work offers an opportunity to hold space for other women as they embrace the unconscious parts of their psyche that manifest as habits and patterns they believe others won’t appreciate.

    In this conversation, Melinda talks us through women embracing the Bitch within themselves, the Bad Girl, as an antidote to Good Girl conditioning that keeps women not only small and powerless but also, in many cases, calculating or vengeful in ways that are harmful to others and to themselves.

    The inner Bitch knows what she wants for herself and what is good for the world. When hidden away or stuffed down, she can be the stereotype few people appreciate. When respected and nurtured, she’s a visionary, a woman the world is hungry for, because of what she has to offer in conscious collaboration.
