"I've never said this publicly...” (Mike Johnson)

Join me as I sit down with the multifaceted Mike Johnson, whose journey from "The Bachelorette" fame to a career in sexology has been anything but conventional. Listen in as we explore Mike's unexpected transition into the spotlight and how his distinct background informs his current passion for promoting sexual and mental well-being. In this episode, we peel back the layers when it comes to the influence of childhood experiences and how they shape our aspirations for parenthood and legacy. We round off with a deep exploration into the realms of intimacy, tantric practices, and the delicate interplay between socioeconomic backgrounds and financial mindsets. Mike and I tackle the taboos of sexual pleasure and communication, shedding light on gender perspectives and the importance of connection beyond the physical. As we discuss the intricacies of balancing money, career, and gender roles in the field of sexology, you're invited to gain a new understanding of the importance of open and healthy discourse around intimacy.
