Yes, please...

In this episode, I answer three powerful questions from my community about orgasms, disgust in self-touch, and how to find your way back to sex after a long dry spell in a relationship. We explore the refractory period after clitoral orgasm, how to “edge” your pleasure to expand into vaginal orgasms, what’s really behind feeling icky or nauseous when you touch your body, and how to reconnect intimately with your partner when sex has felt clunky or disappointing.

In this episode:

Why pleasure is a choice and how attention grows desire

The refractory period after clitoral orgasm and what to do about it

Using edging to expand pleasure and support vaginal orgasms

Disgust and nausea during self-touch as a protective, learned response

Somatic and emotional tools for healing shame and body aversion

Rebuilding sexual connection with your partner after months without intimacy

In this episode, I unpack a powerful question from a listener who shared that while she’s a fully capable adult woman in every area of life (career, motherhood, friendship, creativity), but her sexuality still feels frozen at age twelve. She resonated deeply with my reel “Are you a teen or a woman in the bedroom?” and described the confusion of being perceived by others as sensual while internally feeling disconnected from her own body.

Together, we explore what it means to evolve from that teen-like sexual identity into an embodied, confident adult woman… and how vulnerable, confusing, and awakening that transition can be.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why your erotic self can lag decades behind your adult self-image

Early sexual imprinting and how it silently shapes your confidence today

The “capable woman” identity and why sexuality is the one place it often collapses

Vulnerability with your partner: why it feels terrifying and why it matters

How repressing emotions shuts down your pleasure and orgasmic potential

Dropping performance and approaching sexuality as a learnable skill

Identity-based habits that support your evolution into an empowered sexual woman

In this episode, I talk about:

What a “slut era” looks like in a monogamous marriage

A new, empowering definition of the word slut

Why long-term relationships often dull desire — and how slut energy reignites it

Releasing shame, body judgment, and the “respectable woman” identity

The difference between sensation and true erotic power

Awakening the slut archetype for creativity, freedom, and wild pleasure

Making space for taboo fantasies without fear or self-judgment

How erotic energy boosts confidence, vitality, and relational intimacy

The difference between being disconnected from your sexuality and feeling fully at home in it

How neglecting your pleasure shows up in your body and relationships

This episode is another Q&A, and I love doing these because the questions always open up such real and juicy conversations. Today, I answer three big ones. They’re not quick yes or no questions, they’re the kind that touch on shame, fear, pleasure, kids, relationships, healing after trauma — all the stuff that makes sex and intimacy feel complicated and human. I share some of my own tools and perspectives that you can actually try in your own life, whether you relate directly to the questions or not.

Questions answered in this episode:

1.How do I get over my insecurity with pleasuring a man?

I explain how to shift from embarrassment to curiosity, work with the fears underneath, and allow yourself to learn step by step.

2. How can I feel sexual and free when I am also a mom and my kids are in the house?

I talk about starting honest sex education early, creating boundaries like locking the door, and doing your own inner work so kids see sex as normal and positive.

3. Can I ever truly enjoy sex after experiencing sexual trauma?

I share that deeper healing is possible by working with the subconscious and body, aiming first for emotional neutrality and then for joy and connection.

In this episode, I talk about desire as a sacred path back to yourself—how wanting (not just needing) is deeply empowering in life and in the bedroom. I share how to recognize true desires, rekindle turn-on with simple practices like fantasy and play, and meet any inner resistance with compassion. We finish with a gentle guided visualization to help you connect with your own desire and take one small, aligned step forward.

In this episode, I talk about:

How your desires can guide you toward an authentic life

Needs vs. desires — why the difference matters

Building self-worth and daring to want more

Desire as the gateway to your erotic self

Why fantasizing is good for your sex life

Owning your turn-ons (and turn-offs) without shame

Why desire doesn’t have an expiration date

A guided practice to connect with what you truly crave

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.
