Sex, Love & Money with Rebecca Antonucci

I went to Burning Man expecting one of the most magical, life-changing experiences of my life. Instead, I hated it.
In this episode, I’m sharing my very honest experience of my first Burning Man, why it didn’t live up to the hype, and the unexpected lesson it taught me about expectations, disappointment, and surrender.
Because sometimes it’s not the experience itself that creates our suffering, but the story we’ve created about how it’s supposed to unfold.

You scroll past another beautiful woman selling access to her body, making more money than your teacher, your mother, or the founder building something extraordinary. What does that teach the next generation of girls about where a woman's power actually lives?

Ella Molony Cook became a millionaire at 24. Before that she was a swimwear model featured in Maxim, sharing her body — and deeply personal parts of her life — with the entire internet. Now she's a four-time founder and investor building Time Rich, a community for ambitious women, and one of the only women speaking loudly about AI as a tool for female financial independence.

We get into why she's walked back the public, sexualized version of herself online, what it actually felt like to become a millionaire at 24 (hint: it wasn't glamorous), the childhood with a professional-gambler father and an exotic-dancer mother that shaped her entire relationship with money, and how she used AI and crypto to 12x her own mom's retirement savings in under seven months. She also makes the case for why women sitting on the sidelines of AI are about to get left behind, and why so much of that fear is manufactured by men who want to sell you an expensive, complicated solution.

You've heard all the dating rules a hundred times. Don't text first. Let him lead. Act like you don't care. But what if all of that is exactly what's keeping the right guy away?

Ben Hart has built his entire career around the first three months of dating — the window between meeting someone and deciding if it's real. I sat down with him in New York City to get into his theory that women don't actually understand men, especially the ones they want most, and the programming behind messages like "if he wanted to, he would" that he thinks is quietly working against the women who actually want commitment.

We get into the heartbreak that actually built his whole business, why he waited months before sleeping with his own girlfriend, my own boundary for keeping the first eight dates out of the bedroom, and the one thing Ben thinks female dating advice online is missing entirely: teaching women how to actually appreciate and love men.

You've done the healing work. The therapy, the embodiment, the forgiveness ceremonies, the cord cuttings. You thought you were done. And then something small happens, an ex gets engaged, an old memory resurfaces, someone from your past shows up in a comment section, and the resentment is right there, exactly where you left it.

That happened to me this week. My most recent ex got engaged, and underneath the genuine happiness I felt for him, I found a much older resentment still sitting there, toward a relationship that ended 13 years ago. I brought it up twice on recent podcast episodes because this resentment and these memories were so alive, and then I spent days in judgment about it. Why am I still talking about this? Why haven't I let this go? 

I understood that this is my personal mountain top to climb, and this is exactly what is in the way of the life and love that I desire the most. 

I received a message that was gentle but loud, and the message said, “can you bless the people who hurt you?” Not just forgive them. But truly bless them. Pray they receive the exact things you desire for yourself.

Perhaps after all of the inner work you have done, this is the peace you have been praying for.

You were not born a great lover. And neither was he.

Great lovers are made. That's not a motivational line — it's the entire premise of this episode. Sex is a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and mastered. The problem is that nobody is having that conversation — especially not men.

Men will ask their friends about the best protein powder, the best gym program, the best stocks to investment in. But ask them if they know how to satisfy a woman? Silence. That conversation doesn't happen. And women are paying the price for it in long-term relationships, in beds where their needs go unmet, in the quiet frustration of knowing something is missing but not having the language for it.

Kenneth Play is a sex educator, author of Beyond Satisfied, and the man GQ named the greatest sex hacker alive. He has spent years studying, teaching and practising what most people are too embarrassed to say out loud — and in this episode he brings all of it to Sex, Love and Money.

We get vulnerable. I share my own experience of sexual dissatisfaction in long-term relationships and Kenneth works with me to understand not only I like in the bedroom, but more importantly why I like it. Together we unpack the concept of eroticism and why this is the easiest skill to teach which will make sex mindblowing. 

We get into Kenneth's extraordinarily unique marriage — where his wife has two husbands, they all live together, and she has now had a baby with her other husband who Kenneth met at a gang bang

And we talk about the variety of different relationship constellations available, why you would or would not choose it for yourself, what it actually takes to become the kind of lover that changes someone's life.

This is the episode that starts a conversation most people are too scared to have.

You've heard me interview everyone else. This time, I handed over the mic.

Chris Griffin takes over Sex, Love & Money and interviewed me — live from New York City — and asked me the questions I ask everyone else. What's inspiring me right now. What I'm really aching for. What the heartbreak at 25 actually cost me. Why I refused to date until I was financially free. And what it felt like to spend years chasing business, money and freedom, only to realize that the thing a woman naturally aches for was the one thing I hadn't let myself have.

This episode is the most personally exposed I have ever been on this podcast. Chris went there. And I didn't hold back.

We talk about the soul-shattering breakup at 25, and the pain I carried from it for 13 years. The wealthy men I dated when I was broken and what I was actually trying to get from them. Why I was $100k in debt and refused to let myself fall in love until I wasn't. Why friction in a relationship isn't the enemy - it's the invitation. And why I am now fully, completely, burn-the-boats all in on love.

This is the episode where you finally get to hear my story from the other side of the mic.

How many times today have you said "fine" when you weren't?

We were all taught to play the middle C. Fine. Good. Okay. But you have 88 keys, and playing only one for your entire life is what Mama Gina calls the formaldehyde of the soul.

Regen Thomashauer - known to the world as Mama Gena - is a New York Times bestselling author, pleasure revolutionary, and one of the most alive human beings I have ever sat across from. She has spent 30 years teaching women to choose their pleasure, connect to their bodies, and leave what she calls Planet Patriarchy, and she's made millions, written five books, and raised a beautiful daughter doing it.

In this episode she turns the mic on me. I tell her about the ex I haven't been happy for in 13 years. She tells me I haven't healed it because I haven't actually grieved it. And then she makes me have a full temper tantrum and express my rage erotically live on my own podcast, and I have to say, it opened something for me.

We get into why falling apart is the portal, why your body is more powerful than your mind, why "fine" is keeping you smaller than you are, and why the woman who chooses her pleasure first gets to have it all.

This one cracked something open in me. I think it'll do the same for you.

There is a difference between a woman who is ready for a man, and a woman who is ready for her match.

The first woman can go out right now and get a boyfriend. That's not hard. But the woman who is ready for her match doesn't go out and get him. She becomes ready for him. She becomes the signal he can find. Because you can't go and get your match, you can only become an energetic match to him.

That's the hill I'm dying on. And this episode is the why.

I know you love my storytelling, and in today's episode I get vulnerable about a recent dating experience. On our final evening together I asked him for feedback. He told me my sex expectations were too high. That it's realistic for a woman not to orgasm 10 to 20% of the time. I tell you exactly what I said, what I realized in that moment, and why any man who is not your match will hear your standards and feel pressure, while your king will hear them and feel curious.

Little boys take your standards as pressure. Kings see them as a map.

We answered your most burning dating questions.

You sent in your messiest, most confusing, most painful dating situations, and we answered every single one.

Amy Rushworth is back for a Q&A episode, and this one goes places. Eight real DMs from real women in the community. The man who was perfect for four months and then disappeared. The guy who asked her to watch porn. The partner who won't go to therapy. Whether men can ever really just be friends with women. And yes — we get into cheating. Including the one time I cheated, what drove me there, and why I think most cheating is a symptom of something that was already broken long before the act itself.

Amy brings her Red Flag Handbook expertise to every single question, and nothing gets a soft answer.

If you've got a situation you've been sitting with, chances are it's in this episode.

You didn't learn to center men because you're weak. You learned it because the world taught you to.

We grew up in a society built around male needs, male timelines, male approval. And even the most financially independent, self-aware, high-achieving women are still carrying that conditioning into their dating lives, shrinking, over-giving, measuring their worth by whether he calls back. The patriarchy didn't just affect the workplace. It got inside how we love.

And it's quietly destroying your dating results.

Decentering men isn't a feminist buzzword. It's the most practical dating strategy there is. Because the moment you stop making him the main character and start living from the identity of the chosen woman, before any man shows up, everything changes. The men you attract change. The way they treat you changes. The dynamic changes entirely.

Amy Rushworth is back on Sex, Love and Money and we are going there. Amy calls her own relationship a miracle, because with her past trauma and her history, becoming the woman she is inside her ten year relationship is the real achievement. She got there through deep identity work and she now supports thousands of women to do the very same. To start living as the chosen woman now.
