In this episode, I’m joined by Johanna, a graduate of my SHAMELESS program, just a few months after she completed the year-long journey. This conversation is full of depth, nuance, and honesty as we explore what it really means to move from codependency and self-doubt to a place of grounded, embodied power. Johanna shares how she went from longing for something she couldn’t name to fully claiming her pleasure, her voice, and her womanhood.

In this episode:

Johanna’s transformation from insecurity and people-pleasing to grounded self-trust

What it means to “choose yourself” and move from girl to woman

Releasing the fantasy of a “life script” and embracing self-authored sexuality

Rewiring pleasure through consistent self-practice

Investing in herself: time, energy, and money, and why it was worth it

The beauty of a multi-generational women’s group and being deeply witnessed

This one is rich. Johanna’s story is a beautiful example of what happens when we say yes to ourselves and allow transformation to unfold in the body, on our terms.

Hey, dear friend,

It’s been a while. This episode is me catching you up on where I’ve been, what I’ve been moving through, and why I took a 5-month break from the podcast. No script, just me showing up raw, real, and ready to be seen.

I share about the deep inner work I’ve been doing behind the scenes—what cracked me open, some old painful beliefs that surfaced, and what it’s been like to really face myself. It’s been humbling, healing, and wild. And honestly, I feel like I’m coming back to life. Slowly. Gently. But truly.

In this episode, I share:

Why I hit pause on everything and what brought me to my knees

The spiral of “I’m not good enough” that took over last winter

How I decided to finally face the roots, not just the symptoms

What it means to feel safe, loved, and enough in my body again

How this deep inner work has made me a better coach, partner, and human

A little peek at what’s coming next (👀 Shameless is returning soon!)

This isn’t just a “back online” announcement—it’s a love letter to my own healing and an invitation for you to feel a little less alone in yours. I’m still integrating, still unwinding old stories, still walking the walk. But I’m here. And I’m so glad you are too.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here.

Talk soon,

Erika

Have you ever wondered about what sex after birth truly feels like? Not the advice you get in medical handouts, but the real, raw experience of reconnecting with your body after the intense transformation of giving birth. 

In today’s episode, I’m addressing an often-overlooked topic: sex after giving birth. This conversation is for every mother—whether you’re just beginning to think about motherhood, you’ve been a mother for years, or you’ve experienced childbirth long ago. I’m here to discuss how society’s focus on a baby’s health often leaves mothers’ physical, mental, and sexual wellbeing in the shadows. Together, we’ll explore how to approach sex after birth as a healing, ritualistic experience, and how to reconnect with your sexuality in a way that feels safe, honoring, and even pleasurable.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, honor your needs, and reconnect with your body in a new way—no matter when you give birth. 

In this episode:

Healthcare’s narrow focus on new mother's sexual and mental health after giving birth.

Sex after childbirth can be a tender and transformative experience. 

How can the first experience be made back intimate and ceremonial, allowing for healing and integration of the birth experience.

How to experience both, pleasure and healing.

The role of open and honest communication with your partner.

How to honor physical changes and explore intimacy in a way that is grounded and aligned with the new motherhood experience.

Embracing the duality of being both a mother and a sexual woman.

A practical exercise as a way to reconnect, heal, and bring compassion to your body and experience.
