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.

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:

May you walk with softness, love, and pleasure.

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.

The Connected Pleasure Podcast, hosted by Kayla Moore, embarks on a profound exploration of the significance of pleasure as a fundamental aspect of human existence. Within the first segment, Moore articulates her journey as a certified sex therapist and coach, emphasizing the need to reconnect with our authentic selves through pleasure and embodiment. She introduces the concept of ‘soft power,’ which advocates for leading with compassion and connection rather than dominance and control. The podcast serves as a platform for discussing the vital importance of pleasure in reshaping societal structures, fostering community, and nurturing individual well-being. Moore posits that the contemporary world, fraught with patriarchy and capitalism, has systematically stripped individuals of their ability to experience joy and connection, thereby necessitating a collective movement towards the ‘Great Turning.’ This paradigm shift calls for the reclamation of pleasure as a transformative force, capable of instigating profound societal change and personal healing.

In her candid narration, Kayla Moore delineates her personal evolution and the impetus for the podcast's rebranding from ‘Her on Top’ to ‘Connected Pleasure.’ This transition symbolizes a deeper commitment to exploring how pleasure intersects with various aspects of life, including activism, community, and personal healing. Moore reflects on her experiences during the hiatus, revealing the transformative journey she undertook, culminating in the establishment of Connected Pleasure Coaching. This coaching initiative underscores a pivotal shift towards more intentional and focused therapeutic practices that prioritize rapid and profound transformation. Through the podcast, Moore aspires to weave together diverse narratives that illustrate how pleasure can be reintegrated into daily life and collective consciousness, thereby advocating for a world where pleasure is not a luxury but a necessity.

The podcast also delves into the intricate relationship between pleasure, justice, and activism, as Moore articulates her vision of a society grounded in interconnectedness and community support. She advocates for a reevaluation of the societal norms that dictate productivity and success, urging listeners to embrace a more holistic and pleasure-centered approach to life. As she invites a variety of guests from diverse backgrounds to share their insights, the podcast aims to illuminate the myriad ways in which pleasure can be woven back into the fabric of society. Moore’s commitment to fostering a dialogue around these themes is evident as she emphasizes the urgency of reimagining work, life, and legacy through the lens of pleasure, ultimately positing that the collective rise of the feminine energy will herald a new era of empowerment and connection. This exploration serves not only as a call to action but also as a reminder that pleasure is intrinsically linked to our humanity, deserving of acknowledgment and celebration.

Welcome to the Her On Top Podcast, Season 2, Episode 13!

Delving into the often overlooked dimensions of desire, Kayla Moore presents a thought-provoking episode that challenges conventional wisdom about sexual attraction and intimacy. She opens the discussion by inviting listeners to ponder their own desires and what it might mean to pursue them in a way that is authentic and fulfilling. This episode offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between sexual desire and the various aspects of our lives, suggesting that our relationship with our desires can reflect broader themes of self-worth, connection, and personal empowerment.

Throughout the episode, Kayla introduces the concept of responsive desire, a term that reframes how many individuals perceive their sexual appetites. Instead of viewing desire as something that must be spontaneously ignited, she argues for the importance of creating an environment conducive to arousal and connection. By highlighting the need for safety and emotional intimacy, she encourages listeners to reflect on the contexts in which their desires can thrive, thereby normalizing the idea that desire can be responsive rather than purely spontaneous. This nuanced understanding opens up a dialogue about the complexities of human sexuality and the ways in which emotional states can significantly impact our intimate experiences.

In a particularly enchanting segment, Kayla leads a guided visualization, inviting listeners to connect with their body and mind in a tranquil setting. This exercise not only serves as a tool for grounding but also acts as a catalyst for self-discovery, allowing individuals to appreciate the beauty of their desires and recognize their intrinsic value. As the episode concludes, Kayla emphasizes the importance of nurturing intimate relationships and prioritizing self-care, encouraging a proactive approach to understanding and cultivating desire. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that our desires are sacred, and by embracing both our sexual and emotional needs, we can transform our intimate lives into a more satisfying and connected experience.

Takeaways:

• Desire is a sacred aspect of our lives, impacting our sexuality and overall fulfillment.
• Responsive desire requires context and connection, emphasizing the importance of safety and intimacy.
• Recognizing barriers to desire can help us cultivate a deeper connection with our needs.
• The journey toward desire is not about whether we have it, but how we can nurture it.
• Understanding the duality of spontaneous and responsive desire can transform our sexual experiences.
• Grounding ourselves in the present moment allows us to reconnect with our desires and bodies.
