Eros Mama The Podcast with Megan Lambert – Details, episodes & analysis

Have you ever finally gotten the baby or kids to sleep, crashed into bed… and then your partner wants to make love? Maybe you also wanted to connect intimately, but you felt overwhelmed, overtouched, tapped out. What do you do? 

That is a very real challenge many mamas face (myself included!). In this episode I share with you exactly what I did the other night to deliberately transition from “mom mode” to “lover mode” in just a few minutes - and the beautiful intimacy that was created with my partner as a result. 

Rekindling your erotic spark - even admist the chaos and intensity of motherhood - is 100% possible for you too. This episode walks you through 5 key practices to get there. 

Key points: 

• 00:03 This episode is inspired by my experience last night! 
• 03:05 Taking a solo moment to transition from "mom mode" to "lover mode"  
• 05:12 Setting a time container and letting go of the goal 
• 09:46 Focusing on relaxation and deep breathing
• 11:23 Tuning into your body's yes/no signals through sounds and body language
• 06:28 Exploring common pitfalls like faking enjoyment or obligatory acts  
• 07:15 Encouraging honest communication and shared pleasure
• 17:05 Benefits of prioritizing intimacy for reducing conflict and parenting teamwork
• 08:32 Building body trust by trusting your “no”
• 18:41 Accessing pleasure from an exhausted state  
• 19:45 Balancing roles as mother, partner, and sensual being

Welcome back to the podcast! We’re back with a fresh name, new look, and whole new vibe. 

This podcast was formerly “Touchy Topics with Megan Lambert”, but as I’ve changed dramatically since becoming a mother, so too have my teachings. So here we are, Eros Mama. 

In Season 3 of the podcast, we’re going deep into the heart of motherhood, exploring how we can maintain connection to our passion and sensuality, while nurturing our growing families. No easy feat! 

This episode shares my life updates (hello, new baby!) and major themes for this season of the podcast. 

Key Points:
[1:06] What has changed for me since baby #2 arrived? (Hint: a lot!) 

[2:35] How can we make space for all parts of us as mothers, embracing both the high highs and the low lows? 

[7:47] Noticing how the culture devalues motherhood and our life-giving work… and what we can do about it in our own homes 

[12:50] Big news about our family! A big change is brewing… 

[17:30] What does it take to leave a beautiful eco-legacy for our children? 

[22:51] The themes we will explore for the rest of this podcast

What leads to the spark dying down? How can you stoke the fire and bring back the flame - in a fun and playful way? 

In this episode, I share a sample story of a couple who’s passion and romance faded over time… and the specific ways James & I helped them revive the spark. 

One of the main ways we help couples is by bringing the play back into intimacy, predominantly through games. Intimacy games help couples feel on the same team, be open minded to discover each other, and communicate what they like. 

Here I share 3 of my favorite games for couples who want to reignite and rediscover each other intimately. Each game takes 10 min or less - but can radically shift your erotic life. 

Let me know how the games go afterwards via email (megandlambert@gmail.com) or via Instagram (@megandlambert). Wishing you a fun and playful exploration with your partner!

Key Topics:

• Acknowledging relationship loops that stand in the way of intimacy [1:09]
• The unspoken void of intimacy disconnect - and how to shift it [6:18]
• Game #1 - Kiss Me Like This [8:55]
• Game #2 - A/B Testing [11:52]
• Game #3 - The Desire Game [15:46]

What actually happens at a couples retreat?! Who goes to a retreat? What do people learn?

In this episode, my husband James Mattingley and I share about our most recent couples’ retreat in Bali. This was the third couples retreat we’ve hosted together, and like each one so far, it was full of lessons for ourselves and for the couples. 

We talk about the type of people who attend couples’ retreats, what these couples were looking for, and some of the surprising twists and turns this retreat took. 

We shared our favorite topics and a-ha moments from the retreat, from the myth of low libido to a body-based approach to navigating conflict in relationships, as well as one of the key skills we teach - how to spark the passion in long-term love. 

I hope you find this episode useful! If you’d like to join us on a future retreat, our next one is Dec 1-4th, 2023 in Bali. You can find more info on it here: www.integratedintimacy.co/retreat.

• The type of people that attend couples retreats (hint: it’s not what you think!) [1:07]

We’re backkk! The first episode with Londin Angel Winters was so powerful (listen to it here), that we immediately recorded a follow-up episode - this time centered on motherhood. 

If you don’t yet know Londin, she is an expert on the path of sacred devotional intimacy, having taught about sexuality, masculine / feminine dynamics, and the art of surrender for over 12 years. She is a true role model in this field and my former relationship mentor. 

In this episode, she shares about the pain of multiple miscarriages and how she (unexpectedly!) conceived at 47 years old, and had a successful home birth at 48 years old. 

We explore the profoundly spiritual aspects of giving birth, and what pregnancy and birth taught us about surrender, the power of the female body, and trusting the divine. We explore the intricate connections between birth, death, and sexuality. 

She shares about breaking the chains of old ways of parenting, and letting your child be your greatest spiritual teacher. 

We dive into intimacy and sex after baby - why so many moms lose interest in sex - and how postpartum actually represents a profound initiation into sacred sexuality and intimate depth, if both people are willing to uplevel together. 

Lastly, we end by talking about the purpose of motherhood - to give love in a way you never received - and how anchoring into that purpose can provide meaning, even in challenging motherhood moments. 

Key Topics:

• Finding acceptance through the pain of multiple miscarriages [01:33]
• Becoming pregnant with a miracle baby at 47 years old [3:41]
• Surrendering to the uncertainty of past pregnancies and [7:38]
• Going to the gates of life and death to receive her daughter [14:53]
• The annihilation of self and total surrender [16:55] 
• Positive discipline as a blueprint for your child to discover themselves [24:21]
• Making room for the messiest parts of ourselves when we’re feeling fragmented[32:05]
• Breaking the chains of the old ways of parenting [38:45]
• Parenthood can be the initiation for deeper intimacy if you make space for it [47:20]
• What kind of love would you love your child to experience that you never received? [1:04:55]

Meet Michelle Etchison - queen of naughty content, self-expression guide, breathwork facilitator and overall badass entrepreneur. She became a friend of mine through a mastermind, where I learned about her journey of healing her autoimmune disease through pleasure and self-expression.

At only 23 years old, she found herself struggling with an autoimmune disease that left her frail and weak. Through reconnecting with her inner voice, expressing herself boldly, and exploring her pleasure, she has completely healed. These days, you’ll find her doing sensual dance, EFT, or breathwork, posting about her happy hoe life on Instagram, and being vibrantly, radiantly healthy. 

In this episode, we explore the wisdom of our bodies - how autoimmune disease is a wake-up call for parts of our souls to come alive. We look at pleasure, and the ways pleasure helps our body become a safe place to be. Lastly, we explore Michelle’s roots as a child of immigrants, and how her cultural heritage informs her work today. 

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Ever wonder if there is a more empowering and holistic way to view health challenges? Ever feel like modern medicine is missing a big piece of the puzzle, especially for women?  

In this episode with integrative health practitioner, Bindi Stables, we look at the root cause of chronic illness, disease, and body dysfunction, particularly when it comes to women’s bodies. 

Bindi shares her inspiring story of healing from daily seizures to thriving health, and how she found medical answers in unexpected places (ex: emotions, intuition, and ayuveda). 

We look at the most common health problem she helps women with - their menstrual cycles - and how this seemingly simple aspect of being a woman reveals much deeper patterns in our lives, as well as an invitation to an entirely new way of living. 

We also look at how our relationship to our menstrual cycle reflects our relationship to the feminine, and nature as a whole. Powerful stuff! I got chills many times during this episode because I believe this is such an important conversation. I hope you enjoy it! 

Key Topics:

• Bindi’s year-long struggle with daily seizures and finding no answers [01:00]
• Tapping into intuition to find a new path to healing [6:25]
• The manifestation of stagnation through building identity prisons [8:30]
• Stagnation is the birth of challenges conflicts [11:06]
• The two sides of examining health issues [13:05] 
• The long-term impacts of hormonal birth control on women [19:17]
• Finding healthier alternatives [28:00]

Do you struggle to receive? Do you wish your partner did more thoughtful things for you?

In this joint episode with my husband, James Mattingley, I share about the biggest gift I’ve ever received - and what it’s taught me about the art of giving & receiving in romantic relationships. 

James recently spent several months renovating my office! And in that process, I learned so much about the voices in my head that block my receiving  (“Do I deserve this? I don’t need anything so beautiful…”), as well as the magic I saw in my relationship when I opened to receive this gift graciously. 

By sharing this story of learning to receive more fully, I hope you get a golden nugget for yourself around what it means to receive, what stands in the way, and how to open more fully to the love that is, always, all around. 

Key Topics:

• The biggest gift I’ve ever received [00:36]
• Desiring the space to share my gifts with the world [2:20]
• Pouring attention into your partner’s desires [3:38]
• The best questions to ask your partner around gift-giving [5:52]
• Receiving graciously and letting go of the outcome [6:44] 
• How gifting reinforces your love bubble [10:50]
• The juicy ideas that can bubble up while journaling around gift-giving [12:55]

Grab a cup of tea and settle in for this is an intimate solo episode together, where I share my personal updates, and a shift I’ve noticed in my work lately towards more softness and just being - rather than pushing and doing. 

I open up about identity challenges this change has brought up for me - as well as how I knew it was time to let go of online coaching for now. I share about listening to my body for deeper wisdom, and trusting those messages even when they don’t “make sense”. 

Sacrifice is a big theme in the episode too - consciously deciding what I do NOT do is as important as what I will do. 

Lastly I share a tangible practice you can take with you to identify your own values and priorities - and align your life behind them. I hope you find this episode useful for your own journey!

Key Topics:

• A move towards a new way of being [00:55]
• Transformation happens when we dissolve identity prisons [2:09]
• My sacrifices reveal the life I’m choosing for myself [4:31]
• Desire can make you feel as though you’re being split in two [8:38]
• Reevaluating where I’m being called and drawn to now [9:29] 
• What is the North Star of your life? [10:48]
• How does your schedule align with your mission and values? [12:15]

This might be one of my favorite episodes yet. It’s a profound interview with my mentor, Londin Angel Winters, where we explore, “How do you create a passionate partnership after decades together? What’s required to continue growing and deepening with your lover through having a child, starting a business, and navigating uncertainty?”

Londin is one of the wisest - yet playful! - women I know, and this episode is packed full of a-ha moments around intimacy, love, and relationship. In the episode, I bring her 3 typical challenges from my clients, and she responds with deep, life-changing advice for these situations. You may even get something for yourself!

We talk about what surrender *really* is, ways we unconsciously kill polarity and attraction, how to inspire masculine leadership, and how to offer yourself as a gift to your relationship. Londin asks, “How are you going to use your body and your time on earth to awaken conscious love?”

Key Topics:

• Learning the art of surrender for life-changing growth [01:46]
• Trusting in what you can’t see or understand [7:25]
• Surrendering during moments of intimacy [14:31]
• Relinquishing control to recognize and receive the gifts your partner is already giving you [23:07]
• Becoming a living gift, the beauty of life through creating polarity [31:07] 
• Serve the moment, not the ego [41:50]
• How did you love before you knew hurt? [48:34]
