| The Dynamics of Giving and Receiving with Betty Martin | 06 Apr 2026 | 01:00:08 | |
The Missing Piece in Your Intimate Life? The Dynamics of Giving and Receiving with Betty Martin - new podcast episode out now What if the missing piece in your intimate life isn't about desire or technique - but about truly knowing what you want, and feeling safe enough to say so? In this episode, Sarah Rose Bright is joined by Betty Martin, creator of the Wheel of Consent — one of the most transformative practices in the field of conscious touch, intimacy, and relating. Simple in its structure and profound in its impact, the Wheel has quietly revolutionised how thousands of people understand the dynamics of giving, receiving, taking, and allowing. This is one of Sarah's favourite practices - both personally and in her work with clients. She has seen again and again how it transforms people's experience of touch, pleasure, and genuine connection. And this conversation is a beautiful introduction to why. Betty shares the story behind the Wheel of Consent and unpacks the subtle — and often hidden — dynamics that shape every experience of touch and intimacy. How we give. How we receive. How rarely we are truly asked what we want. And how transformative it can be when we finally are. Sarah didn't get to half her questions — so watch this space for round two. In this conversation we explore: - The two core questions at the heart of the Wheel of Consent - Why knowing what you want is a skill — and why so many of us were never taught it - Why asking for what you want can feel so vulnerable - How setting clear limits actually creates more generosity and enjoyment - The discomfort so many people feel around receiving — and where it comes from - How slowing down helps you feel what is actually true for you - How exploring what you don't want can clarify what you do - Why the ability to say no builds trust, safety, and deeper connection - How many people have never truly been asked what they want - How transformative it can be to choose — consciously and freely — how you are touched Dr. Betty Martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years (some of it legal and some of it questionable). 30 years of Chiropractic and other modalities, then later, 15 years of Somatic Sex Education and Surrogate Partner Therapy. Also Contact Improv and other kinds of play. She is the developer of the Wheel of Consent, a cutting edge model of receiving and giving, based on touch but amenable to non-touch practices as well. She is the author of The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent. She loves sharing her experience. She developed a 5 day training in the Wheel of Consent for practitioners, which took her around the world, and then trained others to teach it so she could retire. She currently mentors helping professionals, from psychotherapists to sex workers, and all stripes of hands-on practitioners.

| Slow Sex in a Fast World with Diana Richardson | 03 Apr 2026 | 00:58:44 | |
For this first guest episode, I am joined by someone whose work I hold in the deepest respect - Diana Richardson, pioneering teacher of slow sex. For over 30 years, Diana has guided more than 15,000 couples in week-long residential retreats in Switzerland - The Making Love Retreat, which Graeme and I now teach. Diana and I explore what happens when we stop approaching sex as something to perform or achieve - and start bringing it into presence, awareness, and genuine connection. So much of what we've inherited about sex is shaped by urgency, peak experiences, and the pressure to get it right. Diana speaks about how this quietly creates insecurity and self-doubt, and what becomes possible when we simply... slow down. This isn't technique. It's a way of coming home to yourself and to each other. We talk about the difference between ‘having sex’ and 'making love’. About how small, subtle shifts create profound change - and why the most important shift is always the connection to yourself first. We also talk about modern life - parenthood, packed schedules, the challenge of staying genuinely connected when everything is pulling at you. Diana shares her beautiful "love keys” - simple, powerful tools for coming back into connection, and the role of kindness, compassion, and generosity in how we meet one another. In this conversation we explore: - Why slowing down opens awareness and deepens intimacy - How cultural conditioning shapes our approach to sex - often through performance and pressure - What becomes possible beyond peak experiences - Why so many people carry insecurity or self-doubt in their sexual experience - The difference between having sex and making love - How small, subtle shifts create profound change - Creating space - internally and relationally, for connection to unfold - Why presence matters more than quantity - Practical guidance for parents navigating intimacy within busy lives - The "love keys" as simple tools for deeper connection - How embodiment supports not just intimacy, but daily life - The power of honest, open communication Diana has said that so many of the world's difficulties trace back to a lack of understanding about sex — how it shapes our sense of self, our emotions, our relationships. I believe that too. How we relate to love and sex ripples out into everything - our families, our communities, the world we are collectively creating. And right now, in this moment in history, this conversation feels more alive and more needed than ever. RESOURCES FROM DIANA Diana Richardson is widely regarded as a leading contemporary authority on human sexuality and conscious intimacy. A bestselling author on Tantra, her work centers on the union of sex and meditation, and on practical ways this sacred connection can transform intimate life. Diana's approach is grounded in a lifelong exploration of sexuality, love, and meditative awareness. She developed Generative Sex, also known as Cool Sex, an evolutionary and sustainable approach to intimacy. This distilled wisdom is shared through her practical Love Keys, presented in her bestselling book, The Heart of Tantric Sex. For over 30 years, Diana has guided more than 15,000 couples in week-long residential retreats in Switzerland, and she is now launching a Rekindle Intimacy online course based on these highly successful retreats.

| The power of sexual energy for men with Graeme Waterfield | 30 Oct 2023 | 01:06:57 | |
Today is a big day!! Graeme and I are heading off to the UK Independent Podcast Awards where the Love, Sex and Intimacy Podcast has been nominated for awards in 2 categories so send some good vibes our way!! I am very excited to be off to London and to meet fellow podcasters. The UK Independent Podcast Awards created a new category for podcasts focused on sex and relationships. Podcasting feels particularly important at this time when there is so much censorship on social media, especially in the arena of sex. Myself and so many of my colleagues are committed to providing quality information, to helping people and contributing to making the world a better place. Yet, every week I see shadow banning of posts and accounts disappearing overnight and in many cases these have taken years of dedication to grow. As we are at the mercy of big tech in this way, podcasting is an essential space to freely have conversations that are censored elsewhere. This is also why it really helps to spread the word about the podcast so that I get more gorgeous messages like this! "I’ve been loving your podcast, Sarah Rose Bright! It’s really helped me in my relationship. Thank you SO much for putting such quality content out there" I would so appreciate it if you can follow the podcast, leave a 5 star rating on Spotify or Apple and if you have the time, to write a short review on Apple. It also really helps spread the word about the podcast so people can find it organically. It felt good to put out an extra podcast episode out in celebration of today. You, beautiful listeners, asked for more conversations and perspectives from men and here we are! In this episode with Graeme Waterfield, we talk about the power of sexual energy for men. Graeme has been working with Taoist sexual energy practices for two decades and he now supports men through his course ‘Sexual Energy Mastery for Men’. Graeme talks about what sexual energy is and why it is important, the healing power of bringing sexuality from the unconscious to the conscious, how to start working with this, his views on ejaculating/not ejaculating and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation! Graeme shares:
Graeme Waterfield helps men become all they are capable of being, through understanding and mastering their own sexual energy. He does this primarily through Taoist and yogic meditation and guided energy practices. With his partner, Intimacy and Sex Coach, Sarah Rose Bright, he also assists couples in exploring practices for deeper intimacy, connection, and pleasure through group programmes and retreats. With 20 years of experience as a teacher and coach and having been on his own 30 year journey, Graeme offers grounded practical guidance, and has come to see what helps men evolve and heal physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. Being a qualified Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gung & Meditation teacher with a background in counselling, Graeme offers unique packages of somatic, psychological and energetic tools to help men transform themselves and their lives to become everything they want to be. We all have a unique set of skills, our own unique soul expression or purpose. Once we can awaken and identify this, we can turn our life into a masterpiece. People often don’t maximise their potential... | |||

Natalie shares the 5 types of people pleasers, why you might people please and how it can show up in your life, practical ways to begin to step out of people pleasing, people pleasing in dating and relationships and how to stop accepting ‘crumbs’.

| Beyond the goal: Presence & Pleasure with Graeme Waterfield | 07 Sep 2023 | 00:52:56 | |
Excited to share this episode with my partner and co-teacher, Graeme Waterfield. We love chatting about intimacy, sex and pleasure and have conversations like this all the time. We share some of the common themes that we experience in our work and also explore what is possible when you shift your attention from goal based sex to presence and pleasure. We explore:
You can read all about INTIMACY here. https://www.sarahrosebright.co.uk/intimacy/ After reading the info, if you have any additional questions or you would like to book a 30 minute call with Graeme and I to see if INTIMACY is right for you both, please message me. About Graeme With 20 years of experience as a teacher and coach and having been on his own 30 year journey, Graeme Waterfield has come to see what helps people evolve and heal physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. Being a qualified Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gung & Meditation teacher with a background in counselling, Graeme offers completely unique packages of somatic, psychological and energetic tools to help you transform yourself and your life to become everything you want to be. He has come to see that we all have a unique set of skills, our own unique soul expression or purpose. Once we can awaken and identify this, we can turn our life into a masterpiece. Graeme noticed that people often don’t maximise their potential as human beings because they haven’t yet learnt to harness their mental, emotional and spiritual power. This is how he can help support you in your own growth. Showing you how to access your highest, most profound levels of thought and being. To help you break free of self-imposed limitation and create your own unique experience of heaven on earth in your relationships, work and life. ‘Actualise yourself,’ was Steve Jobs’ final instruction to all who attended his Stamford memorial service. ‘Self-actualisation’ is the name western psychology gives to personal enlightenment. It states that if we don’t become everything we are capable of being, we will feel like a failure and live an unfulfilled life. As your trainer, Graeme will guide you into this self-actualisation and show you how to meet your greatest potential as a human being. Using ancient technologies and modern psychological approaches to awaken your inner potential, supporting you in finding the power to overcome adversity and maximise all areas of your life.

| Core & pelvic floor healing & health with Lauren Ohayon | 04 Sep 2023 | 01:00:21 | |
In this episode, I am joined by Lauren Ohayon. Lauren is the founder of “Restore Your Core” (RYC®) and creator of the RYC® method for resolving core and pelvic floor issues. I invited Lauren on the podcast as pelvic floor issues are so common and they can have a huge effect on how a woman experiences sex, pleasure and intimacy. So many women experience issues like prolapse and incontinence and can feel fear and shame. To me, the saddest thing is that these issues are not talked about enough and so many of them are preventable. I know if I had had more knowledge I would not have experienced a prolapse so it is important to create space for these conversations. I personally came across Lauren’s work on my journey of healing my prolapse and found RYC to be such a well put together programme and I could feel the difference in my body from building the strength in my core. Whether you have pelvic floor concerns or you want to know how to look after your pelvic floor, there is something here for you. I am delighted to share Lauren’s work and her wisdom. Lauren shares:
Lauren Ohayon is the founder of “Restore Your Core” (RYC®) and creator of the RYC® method. With more than two decades’ experience as an internationally renowned yoga and pilates instructor, Lauren focuses on resolving core and pelvic floor issues minus the “burn and shred” mentality. The Restore Your Core® program is a comprehensive and sustainable fitness program that empowers women who aim to be strong, long, mobile and functional. Restore Your Core® also boasts highly trained movement teachers around the world; from India to Alaska and Australia to North America and Europe. Lauren and the Restore Your Core® teachers are helping women across the globe to gain core strength, achieve ideal pelvic floor function, and learn to move efficiently and exercise optimally—in a safe and nurturing community-driven environment.

| Self care, pleasure & revolutionising work with Tamu Thomas | 07 Aug 2023 | 01:08:16 | |
Today I’m delighted to share this conversation with Tamu Thomas. Tamu helps ‘over-functioning, overworking, high achievers to prioritise their own well-being and life satisfaction alongside success and achievement’. She is on a mission to help women ‘enhance how they live, love and work by recovering from their addiction to toxic productivity’. You might be wondering what this has to do with love, sex and intimacy. A lot!! Your work can have a huge impact on how you experience sex and intimacy. I see this all the time with the women I work with who are often overworking, stressed and exhausted. As Tamu helps women to have a different relationship with work she also supports them to have a better quality of life through areas like self care, pleasure, rest which we dive into. In this rich conversation, Tamu shares about what she calls ‘grounded self care’ and how that is good for society, the problems with ‘spiritual capitalism’ and ‘spiritual bypassing’, how pleasure can be challenging for women, how dominant powers in society can affect your ability to experience pleasure, her vision for revolutionising how we work, the impact of work on sex and intimacy, her quest to be a well rested woman and much more. Tamu shares:
Tamu Thomas helps over-functioning, overworking, high achievers fall in love with themselves so they can make powerful choices about how they live, love and work. Tamu’s integrated approach is practical and relatable. She's person-centred, evidence-based and trauma-informed. Tamu’s holistic approach to supporting the bodies, minds and experience of her clients makes her work nurturing, deep and unique – just like her. Tamu’s work is informed by her background of sixteen years in social work, somatic coach training, her love of behavioural neuroscience and polyvagal theory, positive psychology, spirituality and joy. Tamu combines these modalities to create a multifaceted body of work. Tamu supports her clients and workshop attendees understand themselves as valuable and worthy of caring for themselves. This enables them to prioritise their own well-being and life satisfaction alongside success and achievement. Her mission is to help women enhance how they live, love and work by recovering from their addiction to toxic productivity. RESOURCES FROM TAMU | |||
| The Evolutionary Power of Love & Sex with Sarah Rose Bright | 03 Apr 2026 | 00:14:26 | |
Welcome to Making Love: a podcast with me, Sarah Rose Bright. In this episode I share what's been alive for me in this process, why this name and my vision for the podcast, and, what I believe is one of the most important and under explored conversations of our time - how love, sex, and intimacy are evolving. Love, sex and intimacy are fundamental to life. They are forces that shape how humanity evolves. Over the past few decades, the architecture of intimate life has shifted dramatically and there are new forces shaping modern intimacy from how we date to social media and AI. This podcast asks - what is changing and what is possible? What is breaking through as the old stories break down? What new stories are trying to emerge? I begin to explore: - Why intimacy and relationships are evolving and what is breaking down and breaking through this at moment in history - The significant shifts in how we meet, connect, and live over the past few decades - How social media, technology, and AI are reshaping intimacy - The transition of sex from procreation to recreation - and what lies beyond both - Co-creation as a new model for sexual and relational experience - The suppression and distortion of sexuality - and what we are reclaiming - Sex as a living practice of growth, healing and awakening - The light and beauty of what the erotic can become - Why these conversations matter RESOURCES FROM SARAH DEVOTION is a 5-month journey for women to return home to their feminine bodies, awaken their sensuality and reclaim their true power. Starts 7th May 2026 The Making Love Retreat for Couples, 12th - 18th October, 2026 Your podcast host is Sarah Rose Bright.

| Relating & Dating - Attachment, Polarity & The Gene Keys with Damien Bohler | 17 Jul 2023 | 01:02:33 | |
I’m delighted to share this fascinating conversation with Damien Bohler, founder of Evolutionary Relating. Damien is an explorer who dives deep into the possibilities for intimate relationships finding the ways to support people to truly thrive in life and love. We explored relationships from the difficult stuff to the juice and the joy including the potential of intimate relationships, common relationship challenges and dynamics, polarity, attachment styles, what the Gene Keys are and how to work with the shadows and gifts in dating and relationships, the difference between parasympathetic arousal and arousal through intensity and more. We spoke about the Gene Keys and the Venus Sequence in our conversation and there are links to both in the show notes. Enjoy!! Damien shares:
Damien is a pragmatic visionary, synthesist and deep diver.

| Orgasms, Eros and leadership in current times with Christiane Pelmas | 12 Sep 2022 | 01:04:09 | |
Today I’m delighted to share this powerful conversation with Christiane Pelmas. I see Christiane as a wise woman and elder and she works as a mentor and guide with women and women’s communities. I deeply value Christiane’s grounded wisdom and the medicine she brings. We covered so much rich territory and I could have gone on for hours! Christiane shares her story of ‘eldering’ and how life in her 50s keeps getting better, reframing orgasm as a ‘threshold’ rather than a full stop, self pleasure as a place to alchemise feelings and emotions, the difference between ‘sexual’ and ‘erotic’, the story of Eros, what women’s community needs to thrive (this one surprised me!), what ‘feminine leadership’ is, how to thrive in the ‘tension’ of current times, listening to how you can meaningfully participate in life at this time and the complexity of the nervous system in consent and why statements like "even a 'maybe' is a 'no'!" don't work. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Christiane shares:

| How to have conscious sex, with Diana Richardson | 01 Aug 2022 | 01:05:13 | |
I am super excited to share this interview with Diana Richardson who is considered one of today’s leading authorities on human sexuality. Diana is known as the pioneer of Slow Sex and has been running ‘making love’ workshops for couples since 1993. She has also written 8 books on how in practical ways a person can experience a more fulfilling sex and love life. I have every one of Diana’s books and her work has hugely influenced both my personal and professional life so to chat with her was such a treat. Diana has a beautiful way of articulating about sex, intimacy, love and Tantra and she shares her grounded and deep wisdom on how we learn sex unconsciously and the common elements and patterns of ‘conventional sex’, how to unlearn ingrained habits, how to keep the sexual temperature cooler, why ‘conscious sex’ is a better phrase than ‘slow sex’, the keys to ‘conscious sex’, why a man fears losing his erection, how sex is often used as a way to discharge tension and stress, why sexual arousal is not a prerequisite for ‘conscious sex’, how to invite your partner to explore a different style of sex and what happens in Diana’s workshops. There is SO much I didn’t get to ask Diana so I am delighted she is up for round two in the autumn. Enjoy!! Diana shares:

If you are wondering why you are stuck in certain patterns around relationships or curious about what it takes for a relationship to thrive, this conversation has gems that are for you whether you are single, dating or in a relationship.
