What do we really mean when we talk about “sex appeal”? And what if it has very little to do with how you look—and everything to do with how you feel about yourself?

In this episode of Curious Life of a Childfree Woman, Emily Paulsen sits down with Lauren White, a business sexologist and certified sexological bodyworker who helps women access deeper levels of pleasure, confidence, and magnetism in every part of life. Together, they explore how erotic energy influences how you lead, connect, and move through the world—not just how you show up in the bedroom.

You’ll hear Lauren break down what it really means to be magnetic, why repelling the wrong people is essential to attracting the right ones, and how power and pleasure are deeply connected. This conversation challenges tired narratives about sexuality and instead invites you to embrace the parts of yourself that make you feel most alive.

If you’ve ever felt unsure of your presence, stuck in self-doubt, or curious about how to feel more turned on by your life, this episode offers a grounded and liberating perspective.

Key Takeaways:

• Magnetism starts from within. True sex appeal isn’t about external validation—it’s about turning ourselves on first.

• The willingness to repel is essential. Being magnetic requires a bold willingness to be seen clearly, even if it means turning some people off.

• Sexual energy is life energy. When we’re disconnected from our erotic selves, it impacts our ability to be present, powerful, and fulfilled in all areas of life.

• Fulfillment flows through the web of our lives. Every thread—professional, personal, sensual—is connected and reinforcing.

• Turn-on is a compass. If something doesn’t light you up, ask yourself: Why am I tolerating this?
