Hotter Than Ever

Calling all formerly partnered/married/committed folks. It’s time to get back out there! But how? Where? And what do I do?! In this juicy episode, Erin dishes about what happened when she started dating a bunch of men (and many at the same time) in the year after ending her marriage of 16 years. Bottom line – whatever you’re looking for is available to you. So how do you figure out what you are looking for?

In this episode, Erin takes us through her Rumspringa of romantic adventures in the year following her separation, and divulges some of the lessons she’s learned along the ride. We're renegotiating the timeline for when we're allowed to date, have torrid affairs, and get super f*cking romantically entangled. We’ll be covering topics like:

1. Using romantic exploration to cultivate your own sense of self and desires
2. Reconnecting with your body and desirability during your sexual reprise (people still want you, and you don’t have to be skinny or a 20 year old!)
3. Gaining practice in expressing your authentic and genuine needs
4. Seeking low stakes, exciting connections beyond just sex (but the sex is a great plus)
5. Cultivating a willingness to have new experiences, to accept new people into your life and to let them go
6. Trusting that if you go out there to have fun, you will evolve, and you’ll come to know what you want
7. Learning the “take a flier, just in case” mindset, because you never know when an unexpected connection can sweep you off your feet

Even in fourth grade, Barb knew they had to get out. They had seen David Bowie in drag on SNL and realized there was something better out there, something that felt right. Sometimes the binary – whether that be for gender, sex, or position in bed – just doesn’t honor everything we are. So we go punk rock and say f*ck it.

In this episode, we’re talking to musician, Billboard Platinum music producer, author, and overall icon Barb Morrison. We're renegotiating what gender, sex, and everything in between means to us, and how that drives what we ask for–and who we become–in our relationships. Here’s some insight Barb gives us throughout the episode:

1. Gender is who you want to be, sexuality is who you want to f*ck
2. What it’s like knowing who you are but not having the words to describe it (yet)
3. Discovering your sexuality can happen through cartoon characters, crushes on 2nd grade teachers, punk rock, maybe even a gay boyfriend or two
4. Sometimes we just need to bottom for God and accept whatever love (or lessons) the universe has in store for us
5. Life is a tragedy in close up and a comedy when you zoom out…it’s good to trust that there’s a bigger picture
6. Exploring our roles and possibilities in the bedroom is essential, as is investigating your desires
7. Sex evolves in a partnership, and it can be seen as connection and communication just as much as a tool for pleasure

What happens if we immediately regret the single most important decision many of us will make in our lives? The day after writer Joanna Rakoff got married, she knew she had made a big mistake. But as a self-professed “good girl” and quasi-perfectionist, she stayed in the marriage for fifteen years. Her big wake up call came when at a conference, she spotted the man she had dated in college, not just any man, but the love of her life. Joanna shares how she overcame her fear of being judged by the world, and the relief that came when she finally let go and leapt into a new life.

In this episode, the contract we’re rewriting is one of expectations around romance, marriage, and motherhood. We’re challenging the imaginary court of public opinion that we as women have been taught to fear so much. We discuss:

1. Why a supposedly life-ending mistake can be a blessing in disguise
2. How to challenge the notion that making a big change will lead to ridicule
3. Some of the reasons we make not-so-stellar choices
4. The warning signs to notice in your body that reveal your true feelings
5. Why you should stop wasting so much time caring and start changing your life today

OUR GUEST: Joanna Rakoff is the author of the international bestselling memoir My Salinger Year and the bestselling novel A Fortunate Age, winner of the Goldberg Prize for Fiction and the Elle Readers’ Prize. Rakoff’s books have been translated into twenty languages, and the film adaptation of My Salinger Year, starring Sigourney Weaver and Margaret Qualley, opened in theaters worldwide in 2021 and is now available on Amazon Prime, AppleTV, and everywhere you stream movies.

Pleasure is more than just an Eat, Pray, Love fantasy. We need it to feel good! So why don’t we give ourselves permission to have more of it? Think about the last indulgence you allowed yourself beyond a glass of white wine or a square of dark chocolate (having two squares doesn’t count). Erin shares that most of us don’t even come close to the line of overindulgence, and how you can make pleasure a priority in your life today!

In this episode we discuss:

1. Renegotiating pleasure’s place in our lives
2. Taking inventory of everything we’ve been holding ourselves back from in order to “have it all”
3. Accepting that hedonism isn’t fatal
4. Flexing our biologically built-in feel-good muscles, igniting our senses, and rediscovering what it’s like to really put pleasure first. Really.
