  • 104: "It changed me forever": MC's year spent in SHAMELESS with pleasure, practice & coming home to one

    In this episode, I sit down with a 2023 graduate of my program, SHAMELESS - MC - to reflect on her journey, months after completing the year-long container. We talk about what led her to say yes to the program, how it changed her relationship with her body and sexuality, and the lasting impact it’s had on her life. This is a tender, honest, and often funny conversation about the real work of healing and remembering who we are.

    In this episode:

    • What made her join SHAMELESS and why it felt like a full-body yes
    • Her struggles with pleasure, intimacy, and old emotional patterns
    • The shifts she experienced through consistent practice and group support
    • How my voice and guidance helped her feel safe enough to soften and open
    • What she’d say to a woman thinking of joining: “If I can do this, so can you”
    • This conversation is for anyone craving more connection to their sensuality, softness, and self-expression. I'm so honored to share her story with you.

    • 103: I'm back – BTS summary of what's been going on

      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

              2. 99: Sensation focus - a key tool to knowing yourself sexually AND spiritually

                Do you truly feel your sensations? Or are you disconnected from the language of your inner world?

                In this episode, I explore the profound and transformative practice of sensation focus - learning to tune into the subtle signals of your body to deepen your connection with pleasure, self-awareness, and spiritual essence. From understanding the basics of sensation literacy to how it can unlock better orgasms and an anchored sense of self, this conversation is an invitation to step beyond a thought-based identity and into your embodied inner life.

                Take a moment to pause, turn your gaze inward, and explore what your body is communicating to you right now. This episode invites you into a deeper relationship with yourself, empowering you to feel more, experience more, and ultimately, be more.

                • The transformative power of naming sensations and creating a nuanced "language of sensation."

                • Examples of sensations you can tune into, from fluttery and pulsating to grounded and expansive.

                • 98: Unleash and embody the Slut Archetype for the best sex and pleasure!

                  What does it mean to truly embrace your pleasure?

                  Channeling the Slut archetype is about owning your joy, playfulness, and satisfaction. It’s about enjoying your body and its capacity for pleasure—free of shame and guilt. The slut celebrates pleasure for its own sake, in every form: from sex to dancing, eating, singing, and beyond.

                  In this episode, I dive deep into the misunderstood power of the slut archetype. Why is this energy judged and suppressed? How can reclaiming it leads to liberation and empowerment?

                   Learn how to embrace your inner slut and unleash her vibrant, sexy, and joyful essence—for your benefit and for those lucky enough to encounter a free slut’s energy.

                  In this episode:

                  • What are archetypes?

                  • Redefining the slut archetype.

                    • 97: Erotic expansion – understanding and playing with domination and submission

                      Why do so many women feel a powerful craving for surrender in the bedroom but hold themselves back?

                      How do modern ideals shape our desires and fears in intimate dynamics?

                      In this episode, I dive deep into the often taboo topic of domination and submission in sexuality, exploring how contrary to a common opinion, these dynamics can lead to profound bliss, healing, and self-intimacy. I talk about the conflict many women feel when considering the desire for surrender, the pressures of modern feminist ideals, and the misconceptions around submission.

                      This episode reveals how true domination and submission transcend stereotypes through insightful examples and wisdom from experts like Kasia Urbaniak, offering a transformative way for women to connect deeply with their own desires.

                      • Sex after birth: intimacy, pleasure, and pussy rehab

                        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.
