Rachel Wilson welcomes Ellie Moore for a grounded, honest, and empowering conversation about hormone healing, inner seasons, and what happens when a woman stops fighting her cycle and starts trusting it.

A menstrual health educator, Ellie blends evidence-based hormone education with holistic practices to help women move from frustration and “hormone chaos” to embodied self-trust. She shares her personal journey from pill confusion and period shame to discovering menstrual cycle awareness as a foundation for deeper pleasure, clarity, and nervous system regulation.

Together, Rachel and Ellie unpack the truth about hormonal birth control, the myth of “regulating” your hormones, and what your period blood is actually telling you about your health. They explore the four inner seasons of the cycle, why estrogen can feel intoxicating, how progesterone brings razor-sharp clarity, and why PMS might be less about being dramatic and more about being honest.

Rachel Wilson welcomes Yella Werder for an intimate, wise, and deeply honest conversation on marriage, sex addiction, feminine power, and the long road to sacred intimacy. Married for decades and seasoned by both devotion and betrayal, Yella shares candidly about her experience of sex and love addiction, the affair that nearly broke her marriage, and the spiritual recovery that ultimately transformed it.

Together, Rachel and Yella explore the difference between pleasure and power, manipulation and sovereignty, and what it means to reclaim ownership of your body after a lifetime of shame and taboo. Yella speaks openly about discovering orgasm later in life, learning to communicate desire inside a long-term partnership, and how true intimacy required her to merge her heart and her sexuality, no longer allowing one without the other.

They also dive into menopause, religious roots, patriarchal conditioning, and the cultural silencing of women’s bodies. From clitoral anatomy to sacred devotion, this conversation weaves humor, heartbreak, and hard-won wisdom into a powerful reflection on what becomes possible when a woman finally says: this pussy is mine.

Vulnerable, provocative, and deeply affirming, this episode invites listeners to slow down, speak up, and trust that healing even inside long-term marriage is possible.

Rachel Wilson welcomes Sheila Shupe, Pleasure Coach, retreat leader, and master connector, for a bold and expansive conversation on feminine leadership, erotic embodiment, cyclical power, and building new structures for women. After 20 years in education, Sheila followed an unexpected calling into pleasure work and has since devoted herself to creating transformational women’s events and retreats that connect women through the power of the erotic.

Drawing from her mentorship with Regena Tomashauer (Mama Gena) and her own lived experience of reinvention, Sheila shares why pleasure is not indulgent but essential — and why embodiment and erotic life force are necessary for women to expand into their full power. Together, Rachel and Sheila explore cyclical leadership in a linear world, motherhood and raising daughters with body awareness, the tension between structure and flow, and what it means to become a pussy-led businesswoman in an emerging and often unsupported industry.

Sheila speaks candidly about her vision to build institutional-level support for women in coaching and erotic work — spaces where women can be held financially, structurally, and communally as they expand. At the heart of her work is a deep gift for seeing women’s light and creating environments where vulnerability, weirdness, and authenticity are fully embraced.

Playful, visionary, and deeply affirming, this conversation invites listeners to listen to their bodies, trust their inner knowing, and imagine a future where pleasure, community, and feminine power are not fringe — but foundational.

Honest, compassionate, and deeply validating, this conversation invites listeners to release hustle-based healing, reconnect with their bodies, and trust that feeling good in a woman’s body is possible.
