Hotter Than Ever

“We need to understand that pleasure is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for sending good signals back to the brain.”

When Dr. Nan Wise had a panic attack at just 21 years old, it sparked her lifelong fascination with the brain. Today, as a seasoned behavioral neuroscientist and sex therapist, Dr. Nan is at the forefront of research exploring the deep connection between sex, pleasure, and brain health, particularly as we age. Her studies have uncovered the vital role that orgasms play in boosting oxygen flow to the brain, underscoring the critical role pleasure plays in our overall well-being.

Join Erin and Dr. Nan for an eye-opening conversation about the transformative power of pleasure and how it can help us cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others as we grow older.

1. Pleasure isn't a luxury—it's essential for a healthy brain and maintaining well-being.
2. Why many women experience better sex as they age
3. Unpacking elements of modern life that diminish our ability to experience genuine pleasure.
4. The importance of engaging in pleasurable activities for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.
5. Why active sexual desire isn't necessary for a healthy sex life
6. Tips to maintaining and ‘rebooting’ long-term relationships
7. Cultivating an attuned relationship with your body and the things that bring you pleasure

OUR GUEST: Dr. Nan Wise is a licensed psychotherapist, cognitive neuroscientist, certified sex therapist, and clinical hypnotherapist with 30 years of experience. Motivated by a deep curiosity about the brain's role in shaping moods and behaviors, she earned a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience from Rutgers-Newark in 2014. Her research, particularly her fMRI study on female orgasm, has filled critical gaps in understanding the neural basis of human sexuality, attracting international recognition. Dr. Nan’s journey is rooted in both personal and professional experiences, having faced anxiety from a young age and turning her challenges into a lifelong pursuit of emotional well-being.

“The job of life is to get good at change, because it never stops.”

Why do so many of us resist change instead of embracing it? For our host Erin, life over the past few years has become almost unrecognizable, but in the best way possible.

2. Staying connected to your desires and being open to new experiences, from romantic adventures to deepening friendships.
3. Practical ways to actually ‘thrive in ambiguity’ and embrace the inevitability of change.
4. Lessons from various life phases, from parenthood to navigating modern dating.

“I'm striving for excellence, but I'm not pretending to be perfect anymore.”

The Covid-19 pandemic was a watershed moment of change for everyone, reshaping both personal and professional lives. For our host Erin, it catalyzed her divorce and sparked a career pivot that led to the birth of “Hotter Than Ever”.

To explore this, we’re joined by Lori Hamilton, an award-winning writer, director, performer, and insights expert.

Join us as we embrace authenticity and explore:

1. Recognizing and pursuing your true gifts rather than forcing yourself into roles that don’t fit.
2. Balancing corporate work with artistic endeavors for a more fulfilling career.
3. How sharing vulnerabilities can enhance our well-being and relationships.
4. Post-COVID corporate dynamics and the efforts made to shift from perfectionism to authenticity and genuine care in the workplace.
