The Missing Skill in Intimacy
Learning to Receive Care, Support, and Pleasure In this final episode of the Receiving series, we explore why receiving is one of the most important—and most uncomfortable—skills in intimacy.Through a personal story of illness and a deeper look at how women are conditioned to give, this conversation reveals why pleasure, desire, and erotic life require something many of us have never practiced: receptivity.When the body learns it is safe to receive care, support, and sensation, intimacy begins to come alive again and we begin to live with more coherence.To learn more about the RECEIVE Retreat in Italy CLICK HERE.Follow:@[email protected] the show

It Is Good To Want
In this episode, we explore the kind of wanting many women have been quietly trained out of — not achievement or performance, but honest, embodied desire. The kind that feels vulnerable to admit.We talk about “desire smuggling,” the subtle ways we hide what we want to avoid rejection, and how naming our desires builds self-trust, intimacy, and aliveness — even when the answer is no.Your wanting isn’t selfish or dramatic. It’s information. It’s integrity. It’s the doorway back to feeling turned on by your life.To Learn More About the Receive Retreat CLICK HERE.@[email protected] the show

The Generosity of Receiving
We’re between podcast seasons, but I didn’t want to disappear on you completely, so I’m dropping in with a short mini-series on a theme that keeps surfacing in my life and work: receiving.In this episode, we explore why receiving can feel uncomfortable — even selfish — especially for high-capacity, high-achieving women.If you’re the planner, the emotional anchor, the one everyone relies on, this conversation is for you.We talk about:Why we default to givingHow cultural models of extraction shape women’s relationship to desireThe connection between receiving, nervous system regulation, and sexualityWhy generosity without replenishment becomes depletionGiving is beautiful. But when you do not know how to receive — emotionally, energetically, or sexually — your generosity can quietly turn into exhaustion.Learning to receive is not indulgent. It is what makes your strength sustainable and your relationships reciprocal.Click here to learn about the Receive Retreat.Follow us on Instagram:@[email protected] the show

S4:E13 - LIT: Erotic Leadership For A World On Fire
In this episode, we're stepping away from our season’s theme of shedding to talk about something burning at the center of my heart right now: erotic leadership.The world feels heavy. Systems are collapsing, crises keep repeating, and it’s easy to go numb. But here’s the thing: when we disconnect from our erotic selves, we disconnect from the very life force that could carry us through.The erotic isn’t just about sex. It’s our creativity, our vitality, our pleasure, our power. It’s what makes us magnetic. And when we lead from that place, we stop running on fumes and start leading with fire and presence.In this episode I introduce you to LIT: Erotic Leadership for a World on Fire, my self-paced course designed to put pleasure back at the center of how you live and lead. This is your invitation to trade exhaustion for aliveness and to lead in a way that feels clear, embodied, and lit from within.Follow us on Instagram@lifeturnedonpodcast @linger.uRegister for the SHED Retreat A weekend for women ready to release the rules and reclaim what’s real.👉 SHED Retreat WebsiteJoin the RECEIVE Retreat WaitlistA luxurious, slow, deeply restorative retreat designed to support you in receiving rest and pleasure.

S4:E12: Shedding the Hiding Game with Kate and Ant
Shedding isn’t always soft. In this raw conversation, Kate and Ant—together 22 years, married 15—share how infidelity in 2023 became the catalyst for radical honesty, counseling, and ultimately opening their marriage in 2024. We explore the difference between cheating and consensual non-monogamy, the systems that keep them grounded (weekly “CEO chats,” shared accounts, vibe checks, red lines, and safewords), and how novelty and planning stoke intimacy rather than threaten it. They also talk about pairing “the lifestyle” with travel, building community as @playfulvoyagers, and the very real fallout of telling loved ones—including a sister’s handwritten letter ending their friendship for now. What emerges is a story about choice, transparency, body confidence, and putting pleasure first.What We CoverCheating vs. consensual non-monogamy: why transparency changes everythingPractical frameworks: shared comms, boundaries, and aftercareNovelty, anticipation, and why planning sex can be hotBody image liberation inside lifestyle spacesSharing your truth with family: risk, rejection, and self-authorshipTravel + intimacy: “playaway days,” community, and funSupport the show
