This month I got to talk to Karli Petrovic of the Yes, Misstrix Substack.

I loved this conversation with Karli and am so grateful to have had her as a guest on this next episode of thecuriousclit podcast! I’ve been reading her Substack for a while now, and I adore the way she mixes humor with reflections on sex, love, and relationships.

About Karli (she/her)

When the other kids dreamed of becoming teachers and astronauts, Karli wanted to be a witch…and also maybe a writer if that first choice didn’t work out. In adulthood, she opted for the best of both worlds. Today, she is the one-woman team behind Cup of Sugar, an agency working to help clients access their own creative magic through copywriting, intuitive coaching and tarot readings.

Storytelling is in her blood, and Karli spends an amazing amount of time writing everything from the Yes, Misstrix Substack, a newsletter about sex, love and relationships, to her very first novel. She’s also fully Aquarian (sun and moon), with a sexy splash of Scorpio (rising). Karli sometimes dreams in premonitions and is always choosing coffee over water. She lives in Austin, TX, with a muggle husband, baby girl and three goofy hounds, one of whom will definitely be a human in his next life.

We talk about:

* what messages Karli received about sex growing up Catholic in the Midwest

* how her father was the one to talk to her about sex & how this impacted the messages she received

* the story behind the title of her Substack and how it relates to her own journey with sex

* what has helped her be able to embrace her desires

* the difficulty around having conversations around sex & her tips to make conversations around sex less stressful

* her journey with prioritizing her pleasure

* a problematic scene in The Holiday and what it has to say about expectations women face with sex and intimacy

* what she has had to leave in the past to have better sex and relationships

* how she’s been able to maintain & cultivate her sex life after giving birth

* her work as a writer, copywriter, tarot reader, intuitive coach and where you can find out more about her
