Read MoreSeason 3 of The Ruby Hour is about amplifying your creative energy. Where does your creative center reside in your body? Your sexuality. Literally, your reproductive system.
We support couples and individuals through filming such special milestones in their relationships and businesses, so this season's content is dedicated to the ongoing support, nurturing, and development of our RRC family. Life after I Do, life in the midst of grinding with your brand, raising babies, all of it.
I've hand-picked some of my favorite sex therapists, somatic teachers, kink facilitators, erotic artists, and pleasure guides to teach us a thing or two around amplifying and building BIG. FXCKING. ENERGY. The kind of energy that serves and supports every area of your life: relationships, mental health, your business, and your community.
This season is real-time, REAL TALK tools with individuals who carry themselves in a particular way that says, "Go ahead and try to touch this vibe. Just try."

I stumbled across Canada-native Scarlet Jaxen @scarletjaxen one day going on some kind of feminine empowerment wormhole and saw her moving and embodying her "inner bitch". I was appalled, confused, inspired, and offended all at the same time. Embrace my inner bitch? What? She's allowed? We can speak about her? We can acknowledge we have some kind of ugly, ruthless bitch in us? Really? And, of course, I had to get her on the show.
