  3. Professional Cuddling, Safe Touch & Why Consent Changes Everything

  4. DTF Better with Sage and Sara: When Pleasure Feels Too Much | The Nervous System Conversation

    You say you want pleasure. More connection. More intimacy. More ease in your body. But when it actually shows up… something tightens. You pull back. You overthink. You start bracing.

    I’m officially opening the first-ever Truth Meets Taboo series—a six-month conversation (two episodes per month) on pelvic floor physical therapy, sexual wellness, and healing painful sex without treating pain as the point of sex. For this series, I’m joined by my co-host Dr. Sara Sohn, a pelvic...

    After a year of grief, endings, and major life shifts, this episode opens a new chapter for the podcast.

  8. Truth, Trauma, and Authenticity: Why We Hide and How We Heal

    This episode is about the truth I kept dancing around. I talk about how hiding became second nature for me. How silence felt safer than honesty. How telling the truth was something my nervous system learned to associate with danger, conflict, and loss. As I reflect on this year, I share what…

  9. When Safety Turns You On: Secure Attachment, Intimacy & Energy Transference

    This episode is the sound of my pleasure breathing through my grief. I’ve been having the kind of energetic seggs that makes my chest open, my legs shake, and my past dissolve.

  10. Beyond Banana Condoms: When Sex Ed Meets Soulwork

    Intimacy is more than mechanics or performance. It is the sacred art of being fully present with ourselves and with each other.

    Touch is where we first learn we are safe, loved, and alive. In this episode, I open up a conversation about the kind of touch that goes beyond the surface.

  13. The Intimacy of Receiving: Boundaries & Emotional Openness

    Receiving sounds simple, but for so many of us, it’s one of the hardest things to actually do. In this episode, I’m diving into what makes receiving feel so unsafe — how our nervous system, old wounds, and social conditioning teach us to block love, compliments, abundance, and guidance even when...

  14. What My Desires Taught Me About Truth

    I used to think desire was something to be feared or managed—especially as a woman raised to be desired, not to desire. In this episode, I unpack how I began to tell the difference between what I truly want and what I was taught to want. From cultural conditioning to gendered expectations to the...
