In this mini-episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I’m diving into what it means to live “from the neck up”—stuck in our heads, disconnected from our bodies, and unable to fully access pleasure.

So many of us have been conditioned to distrust our bodies, to push down emotions, and to operate only from the mind. But true pleasure, presence, and intimacy require embodiment. Together, we’ll explore:

• Why our culture keeps us in our heads and away from our bodies
• The impact of anxiety, negative beliefs, and shame on pleasure
• How somatic practices help you feel safe enough to be fully present
• Why one-on-one coaching is a powerful way to shift from overthinking into embodied living

If you’ve been longing to feel grounded in your body and reclaim pleasure as your birthright, this episode will give you insight into what’s possible.

Let’s move beyond living in our heads and come home to our bodies, together.

So many women struggle with feeling disconnected from their bodies — carrying shame, anxiety, or even disgust around their appearance or pleasure. From childhood diet culture to the male gaze to trauma and dissociation, we are taught to mistrust, disconnect from, or even reject our own bodies.

In this mini episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I share why body disconnection is one of the biggest barriers to pleasure and how my 1:1 coaching container helps you gently shift into safety, worthiness, and sacred embodiment. Together, we work to release shame, reclaim your body as divine, and open space for both giving and receiving pleasure.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why so many women struggle to feel safe in their own bodies
• How shame, trauma, and patriarchal conditioning shape our experience of pleasure
• The impact of diet culture and beauty standards on body image
• Why receiving can feel harder than giving — and how to change that
• How my 1:1 coaching program helps you reclaim your body and your pleasure

Your body is not broken. Your body is sacred.

In this expansive conversation with Dr. Kristin Allott, we explore how our modern world shapes our relationship to pleasure, attention, and our bodies — and what it takes to reclaim them.

We talk about how screens hijack dopamine, why boredom is essential for creativity, and how we can shift from being consumers of life to active creators of joy and meaning. Kristin also shares her holistic approach to health and well-being, blending neuroscience, naturopathic medicine, and a deep respect for the body.

Together, we dive into:

✨ Why sex often feels like a chore for so many women — and how to shift it into something regenerative and nourishing

✨ The science of dopamine and how our culture trains us to numb rather than replenish

✨ The difference between behavioral addictions and genuine pleasure

✨ Why boredom is actually the doorway to creativity and innovation

✨ The unique challenges mothers and caregivers face with rest, self-care, and connection

✨ Viewing your body as your most precious three-year-old — and treating it with care, love, and attention

✨ The role of community in supporting health, vitality, and pleasure

✨ Kristin’s practices for tracking fun and reconnecting to joy in daily life

✨ The power of sexual healing work with a therapist or coach to come home to your body

This episode weaves science, story, and sacred practice to remind us that our bodies are not broken — they’re wise, powerful, and waiting for us to return.

So many women come to me feeling like they are broken when it comes to desire, intimacy, or accessing pleasure. Whether it’s a sudden drop in desire, difficulty experiencing pleasure, or a lifelong disconnection from sexuality, society often reinforces the painful belief that something is “wrong” with you.

In this mini episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I share how my 1:1 coaching container creates space for women to explore these barriers with compassion, safety, and softness. Together we dismantle the belief of brokenness, uncover root causes like trauma, anxiety, or life transitions, and begin rewiring the nervous system to reconnect with pleasure and embodied wholeness.

💧 You are not broken. Your body holds wisdom, power, and sacredness — and you deserve to reclaim it.

✨ Inside this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why so many women feel “broken” in their sexuality
• The societal messages that separate us from our pleasure
• How life transitions and nervous system dysregulation impact desire
• What it looks like to gently reclaim pleasure in a safe, supportive container
• How to know if my 1:1 coaching is for you

Your pleasure is sacred. You are whole. You are not broken.

Is sex a chore? You’re not alone.

In this mini-episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I share one of the most common struggles women bring into my work: sex feels like another item on the to-do list. Instead of being regenerative and connective, it feels draining — another way of giving without receiving.

I open up about my own experience of this during grad school, and how stress and disconnection can make intimacy feel impossible. I also walk you through how my 1:1 coaching container helps women shift from obligation to liberation — reclaiming sex as a source of pleasure, power, and deep connection.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

✨ Why sex often feels like a chore for women

✨ How stress and body disconnection play a role

✨ Why prioritizing your own pleasure changes everything

✨ How my 8-week coaching container creates space to heal and reclaim intimacy

If you’ve ever thought “I should want sex, but it just feels like work” — this episode is for you.

Because your body is sacred. Your pleasure is yours. And you are not broken.

💧 Our tears are weapons. Our pleasure is liberation.

In this special mini-series on the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I’m opening the doors to my 1:1 coaching container — an intimate 8-week journey designed to help you reclaim your pleasure, remember your power, and come home to your body.

Right now, the world feels heavy. Collectively, we’re grieving, awakening, and shifting into new ways of being. This is the moment to root ourselves back into pleasure — not just for our own healing, but for the ripple it creates in the collective.

In this episode, I share:

✨ Why pleasure is both personal and political

✨ How our grief and collective power are deeply connected

✨ What my 1:1 container looks like, and who it’s for

✨ Why reclaiming sexual pleasure is often the key to unlocking wholeness

If you’ve been feeling the call to heal your relationship to sex, intimacy, and your body, this container may be for you.

Because when we reclaim our pleasure, we reclaim our liberation.

What happens when we choose to honor our bodies instead of hustle culture — and dream into futures beyond patriarchy’s limits? In this inspiring conversation, I’m joined by Camille A. Saunders, a professional witch, tarot reader, and host of the Everyday Tarot podcast. Together we explore what it means to reclaim time, land, and community as sources of pleasure, healing, and resilience.

Camille shares how she structures her schedule to honor her body’s rhythms, how and why she takes 12 weeks off a year, and how holding boundaries becomes sacred work. We discuss the collective consciousness and why there are so many of us witches and initiatives currently dreaming the same dream. I open up about her dream of building community on the land — with eco-homes called geoships, gardens that nourish, and spaces for retreat and ritual.

We dive into the intersections of technology and the sacred feminine, reflecting on AI, free time, and how rewilding ourselves in nature can anchor us in wisdom and creativity. This conversation is a vision of what it means to weave pleasure back into our lives and the world.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• Why honoring rest is a radical act of sovereignty — and how Camille builds it into her workweek and year
• The power of boundaries and self-trust when no one else is holding you accountable
• A vision of geoships, land-based living, and community rooted in reciprocity with the earth
• How tending gardens and raising children in relationship with the land is part of feminine resistance
• The role of AI in shifting work, identity, and pleasure — and why creativity will be essential
• Why women and witches have always been at the edges of society — and how that wisdom is rising again
• Finding constancy and wisdom in trees, cycles, and the seasons of life and death

In this first-ever interview on the Connect to Pleasure podcast, I sit down with Dr. Angie Maxwell — pelvic floor physical therapist, founder of Madrona Physical Therapy in Tacoma, WA, and fierce advocate for women’s health.

We dive into:

• What pleasure means beyond sex, and how it weaves through every part of life
• The role of pelvic floor physical therapy in healing pain, postpartum changes, and sexual health
• Angie’s personal journey with pelvic pain, shame-free sexuality, and why she chose to dedicate her career to female-centered care
• What actually happens when you see a pelvic floor PT (and how safe, consent-based, and empowering it can be)
• The importance of creating your “dream team” of providers to support body, mind, and spirit in your healing journey

Together we explore why reclaiming pleasure is essential not just for sexual wellness, but for living fully, freely, and embodied.

Dr. Angie Maxwell is a board-certified Women’s Health physical therapist and founder of Madrona Physical Therapy in Tacoma, WA.

Welcome back to the Connected Pleasure Podcast with me, Kayla Moore—Certified Sex Therapist, Coach, healer, dreamer, and sacred disruptor of the patriarchy. This is our space to return to the body, to power, to pleasure, and to one another.

In this episode, I open my journal and share a vision I cast earlier this year during a new moon ceremony. It’s a vision for a world rooted in safety, laughter, community, and love. A world where women, children, and families are centered and everyone’s needs are met.

From that vision, I share how I’m weaving pleasure back into the world through my sacred containers and community spaces. You’ll hear about:

✨ 1:1 Coaching for Low Sexual Desire – An 8-session high-touch container designed to help women reclaim pleasure, remember their power, and come home to their bodies. Core and VIP options available.

✨ Not Broken Course (Waitlist Open!) – A group program offering the same transformational content as 1:1 coaching, with the added support of community and sisterhood. Founding members will help co-create the inaugural round.

✨ Shed Retreat – November 14–16, 2025 on Vashon Island, WA. A powerful weekend with Shauna Stewart, where we shed old scripts and step into new ways of relating to sex and intimacy.

✨ Sacred Feminine Singing Circle – A community space for women and feminine-identified beings to explore their voices, sing in harmony, and connect through music and sound healing.

This episode is both a reflection and an invitation. If you’ve been longing for deeper connection to your body, your pleasure, and your voice—this is for you.

Hi loves. In this short and sweet transmission, I share a practice that’s been lighting me up lately—inviting the universe to play with me. 🌙

Inspired by my manifestation journey and my love of the sacred feminine, I explore what it looks like to co-create with the moon, the sun, and the earth as partners in our becoming.

This is an invitation to bring more joy, curiosity, and sacred play into your day. What would shift if, instead of pushing, you asked the universe: What can we create together today?

Let’s remember—we are not separate. We are part of one living ecosystem, woven together in love.
