🎧 Episode Summary / Notes

In the first episode of Season 2, Teresa sits down with Carolina Casanova, Amsterdam-based author of The Rose — a raw, sensual, and spiritual diary that blurs the line between fantasy and lived experience.

What starts as laughter about microphones and “sexy studio vibes” deepens into a powerful conversation about sexual freedom, safety, and self-respect. Carolina shares how The Rose began as a secret experiment — erotic poems between friends — and evolved into a book about truth, body, and expression.

Together, Teresa and Carolina explore:
 💋 The difference between sex, energy, and connection.
 🌹 What it means to “feel safe” in your body — especially as a woman.
 📱 How the digital era (iPhone, dating apps) reshaped intimacy.
 💫 The feminine field: foreplay, flow, and energetic exchange.

 🪶 Why The Rose became Carolina’s unapologetic act of freedom — and how her next book, Unapologetically Myself, continues that journey.

The episode dances between humor, confession, and depth — a real-time map of what happens when two women talk openly about desire, shame, and sovereignty.
