The Elysian Lifestyle

In this episode, I’m joined by Taylor Chetty, MSW, RSW, for a thoughtful and expansive conversation on sex, sexuality, trauma, healing, and the importance of having more honest conversations around desire, intimacy, and the stories we carry in our bodies.Together, we explore definitions of sex and sexuality, unpack what trauma is and how to seek support, and talk about the deeply important work Taylor is doing through the You Are More Project. From there, the conversation moves into kinks, fantasies, erotic blueprints, and even the role of ethical porn.Taylor brings such a grounded, compassionate, and deeply informed perspective to this work, creating space for nuance, curiosity, and healing in topics that are often misunderstood, avoided, or oversimplified.This is an intimate, honest, and slightly spicy episode, and one I’m so excited to share.Find her website here or on Instagram here or the YOU ARE MORE PROJECT here.Xoxo Samantha * Intro to Strength Training for Women - Class

Welcome to Season 2! It feels so good to be back after 1.5 years away from the podcast. In this solo episode, I’m sharing a little of where I’ve been, how this next season is taking shape, and the renewed vision behind The Elysian Lifestyle.I revisit the four pillars from last season — Embrace Your Femininity, Nutrients First, Create Rituals, and Strength over Skinny — and reflect on how they continue to ground this work, while also making space for where the podcast is headed next. This season, many of my guest conversations will explore women’s sexual health, hormones, and the many layers of what it means to embrace your femininity in a deeper, more supported way.I’m also thrilled to announce my first in-person offering, The Elysian Strength Studio — a place for women to build strength, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to work with their bodies in a way that supports their health for the long term.Thank you so much for being here. I’m so grateful you’ve found your way back to this space.Learn more about the Intro to Strength Training for Women HEREXoxo Samantha
