Hey lovelies,

A lot of people have been asking me questions about myself. Rather than respond to the same questions over and over again, I thought it might make sense to write a short post answering some of the most common questions.

Childhood: I grew up in a tiny town about an hour North of Toronto. I lived across the road from a beautiful river and close to Lake Simcoe, which meant that I spent a lot of my childhood swimming, sailing, and participating in water sports (including frozen water sports like skating, ski-doing, and ice fishing).

Career: I have never enjoyed working for other people and I find it very difficult to force myself to do things I don’t enjoy. I like being my own boss, so beyond being a Sex Coach, author, and blogger, I consider myself a lifestyle entrepreneur. Over the years I have had multiple streams of income, and I am currently working towards building an online income.

Joy: As for my adult life, I was married from the time I was 19 and I became a mom to my beautiful daughter, Eden, a week after my 21st birthday. I have four kids (2 girls and 2 boys) who are now 13, 17, 19, and 21. They are amazing, dynamic, creative, artistic, and absolutely awe-inspiring human beings.

Gypsy: As for where I call home, I am a gypsy soul; I have lived in Ontario, British Columbia, Washington, Arizona, and Iowa. After separating from my husband in September of 2017, I took a couple months to make a major life decision,  then I moved back to BC. I recently considered moving to Arizona to be near some of my closest friends, but after contemplating everything, I have decided to try and make it work here in BC where my oldest three kids and my sister live. I am hoping to finally put down solid roots.

To date, other than questions related to my relationship status, the top question I am asked is:

“Are you a nudist?”

Nudist: I don’t have a straightforward answer to this question. My mom tells stories of me stripping down as a child. She says it was impossible to keep clothes on me. As I grew up, I found myself regularly participating in situational nudity (skinny dipping, going to nude beaches, hot tubbing, nude sunbathing, etc.). I have never identified as a nudist, though nudism was not something that was comfortable for my husband and I am no longer with him.

Naked: My new found freedom seems to have affected how often I go naked. Does that make me a nudist? To try and answer this question, I took a complex nudism quiz. After taking answering all of the questions, I got a score of 69% nudist. That number made me laugh. Although the focus of this blog is not sexuality or even sensuality, I am a deeply sensuous woman…

Naturist: As I mentioned in a previous post, I like the term, Naturist. So maybe I am a Naturist. But to me, these labels are not necessary. While writing for this blog, I have discovered the deeper meaning of what my intention is. Beyond Rewilding myself through my naked in adventures in nature, I have an intention that I think is vital to the health of our society.

My intention is:

Mission: To desexualize nudity and normalize healthy sexual expression and exploration. So there you have it. As for my background with sexuality, I have explored Tantra, Kundalini Yoga, the Quodoshka path, and a variety of related sacred sexuality teachings. For years I wrote about sexuality and participated in multiple related events.

I hope you are having a truly blissful day!

From my heart to yours,

Joy
