Ever looked at your full life, the business, the babies, the ambition, the exhaustion, and wondered where you went in the middle of it all?

 

In this episode, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, agency owner, and mom of three Madison Hollimon for an honest, unfiltered conversation about ambition, motherhood, pleasure, and the seasons of womanhood no one prepares you for. From building a high-growth business at a young age to navigating pregnancy loss, postpartum identity shifts, and religious shame around sex, Madison shares what it really looks like to reconnect with your body after years of survival mode.

 

Together, they unpack how motherhood and entrepreneurship can coexist without sacrificing joy, why pleasure is not indulgent but essential, and how reclaiming your sexuality can actually change the way you lead, earn, and live. This conversation moves far beyond the bedroom, touching on hormones, confidence, guilt, nervous system overload, and the invisible labor high-achieving women carry every single day.

 

You’ll hear the truths most women are afraid to say out loud: how postpartum numbness affects desire, why many driven women feel disconnected from their bodies, how purity culture creates long-lasting shame, and what it really takes to come back home to yourself after years of pouring into everyone else.

 

Whether you’re a mother, business owner, or simply a woman trying to feel like you again, this episode is a permission slip to prioritize pleasure, build support systems that protect your energy, and remember that you deserve to feel turned on to life, to your body, and to your purpose.
