In this episode, I’m joined by Mandy, a certified sex and relationship coach, for an honest, nuanced conversation about sexual desire, shame, fantasies, communication, and self-connection.

Mandy shares how her coaching path began organically through years of answering sex-related questions online, eventually leading to professional certification and a full-time practice. We explore why connection starts with self, how cultural and religious conditioning creates sexual shame, and why fantasies are often about emotions and healing, not literal acts.

We dive into how to talk about kinks and desires with a partner, why these conversations should happen outside the bedroom, and how to create safety so your partner doesn’t make your desires “about them.” Mandy explains how she helps clients navigate high-risk or taboo fantasies ethically and safely, while honoring consent and boundaries.

We also discuss masculine vs feminine energy (without gendering it), why relationships don’t have to last forever to be successful, and how embodiment and self-permission are key to authentic intimacy.

If you’re curious about sexuality, communication, modern relationships, or releasing shame around desire, this episode goes deep.
