Heal 2 Feel with Liat Gerszt & Mercedes Javid

In this episode of Heal 2 Feel, Liat and MJ sit down with best friends, business partners, and co-creators Áine Rock (transformational coach + pleasure priestess) and Dr. Sophia Trevenna (global award-winning professor, scientist-turned-intuitive, founder & executive coach).

Together they unpack sex, money and intuition – how these three "taboo" topics are deeply linked to our nervous system, our spiritual path, and our capacity to receive love, pleasure and abundance.

You'll hear how Sophia went from a mechanically minded engineer and professor to being guided by angels and spirit guides, coaching top CEOs around the world and channeling a line of nervous-system tonics and skincare through their company S

Áine shares what it really means to be a pleasure priestess and how erotic energy can fuel business, wealth and creativity—especially for women who've been stuck in their masculine or in "good girl" conditioning. 

From angel numbers and life-between-lives, to sacred rituals, past-life stories, business prenups, parenting, and money wounds, this conversation is basically a masterclass in trusting your inner guidance and building a life (and business) that actually feels good.

Is intimacy just sex? According to Dr. Etel Leit—"Your Love Doctor"—true intimacy begins long before the bedroom. In this raw, practical convo, we unpack the 3 V's of durable relationships (Vibe, Values, Vision), why partners trigger our deepest wounds, and how to move from transactional patterns to reciprocal love. We also go there on scheduling sex, initiating when it feels awkward, and shifting from "career mode" to feminine/masculine safety at home.

Highlights:

• "Into-me-I-see": redefining intimacy

• Triggers, inner-child work, and compassionate repair

• The dopamine trap vs real connection

• Two-times-a-week rule of thumb (and why "sex starts before the bedroom")

• Masculine/feminine polarity & rejection fears

• Parenting seasons, presence, and keeping play alive

Guest: Dr. Etel Leit—PhD, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author of UnAddicted to You, known for helping singles and couples rebuild safe, passionate connection.

What if the hardest parts of your relationship have less to do with today—and everything to do with unhealed childhood wounds?

Having navigated the complex cultural landscape of being an Indian girl in Hong Kong, Anita shares how these early experiences intertwined with her battle against lymphoma. Her near-death experience, leading to a profound spiritual awakening and miraculous recovery, has inspired countless people around the world. Through Anita's compelling narrative, we explore the essence of living authentically and the transformative power of self-love.

The courage displayed by these women in seeking independence and self-determination serves as a beacon for those navigating similar pathways.

Through touching personal testimonies and insights, the episode underscores the profound impact of mindset and environment on our well-being.
