from Lust in Translation · host Natassia Miller
Juliette LaMontagne did everything right — the husband, the kids, the career. Behind the scenes, her 25-year marriage was unraveling: codependency, her husband's relapse after decades of sobriety, and a separation she believed was the end.Then came an unexpected second chance, and an unconventional path back to desire.In this episode, the writer behind the serial memoir Touch Me There (now being adapted for television) shares how she rebuilt her marriage and her erotic self from the ground up: psychedelic-assisted therapy, s*xological bodywork, the Wheel of Consent, and the radical accountability that changed how she and her husband connect—in and out of the bedroom.Read Juliette's serial memoir, Touch Me There: https://juliettelamontagne.substack.com/00:00 – Introducing Juliette Lamontagne01:22 – The life that looked perfect06:23 – Marriage, addiction, and collapse09:35 – Separation and a turning point18:28 – Reuniting during Covid19:32 – Discovering k-assisted therapy23:37 – Remission versus recovery26:35 – Releasing shame31:11 – Psychedelic couples therapy39:00 – Enter s*xological bodywork44:18 – Breathwork and awakening desire46:10 – Vulva mapping and de-armouring51:28 – Understanding org*smic meditation63:05 – The Wheel of Consent explained65:04 – Relearning touch with her husband69:00 – The power of taking and allowing72:33 – Rebuilding erotic connection78:52 – The all-women s*x retreat82:49 – First experience with shibari85:11 – Why surrender is so difficult88:21 – The meaning behind Touch Me There90:43 – Where to find Juliette’s workIt’s really hard to feel sexy when your vagina feels off.
