| The Missing Skill in Intimacy | 11 Mar 2026 | 00:18:33 | |
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.

| It Is Good To Want | 04 Mar 2026 | 00:21:39 | |
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.

| The Generosity of Receiving | 22 Feb 2026 | 00:21:42 | |
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:
Giving 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: @lifeturnedonpodcast @thepleasureatelier.ss | |||

| S4:E13 - LIT: Erotic Leadership For A World On Fire | 17 Sep 2025 | 00:12:15 | |
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.

| S4:E12: Shedding the Hiding Game with Kate and Ant | 10 Sep 2025 | 00:53:12 | |
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 Cover
