| S3E2: How to Turn Yourself On When You Feel Exhausted | 30 Aug 2024 | 00:24:38 | |
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.

| S3E1: Welcome Back! – Birth, Rebirth, and Reconnecting with Sensuality | 29 Aug 2024 | 00:23:37 | |
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: [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 | |||
| Season 2, Ep 27 - 3 Games for Couples to Reignite Intimacy | 03 Aug 2023 | 00:19:26 | |
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!

| Season 2, Ep 26 - Our Couples’ Retreat Recap With James and Megan | 27 Jul 2023 | 00:20:23 | |
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.

| Season 2, Ep 25 - The Initiation of Birth, Death, and Sex in Motherhood with Londin Angel Winters | 21 Jun 2023 | 01:11:17 | |
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.

| Season 2, Ep 24 - Healing Disease Through Pleasure and Self-Expression with Michelle Etchison | 16 Jun 2023 | 00:38:59 | |
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!

| Season 2, Ep 23 - Natural Feminine Wisdom with Bindi Stables | 07 Jun 2023 | 00:55:11 | |
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!

| Season 2, Ep 22 - The Feminine Art of Receiving Gracefully with James Mattingley | 25 May 2023 | 00:14:14 | |
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.

| Season 2, Ep 21 - Dissolving Identity Prisons & Opening to Transformation (Mini Solo Episode) | 17 May 2023 | 00:14:26 | |
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!

| Season 2, Ep 20 - Reigniting Polarity Through Surrender with Londin Winters | 11 May 2023 | 00:50:00 | |
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?”

| Season 2, Ep 19 - “Rewilding” Your Relationship with Food and Your Body | 01 Mar 2023 | 00:14:55 | |
What were you taught about food and your appetite? How is your relationship with your hunger? How do you feel about your body right now?
This is such a hot topic for my female clients right now, so I wanted to dive into it here with you.
In this intimate solo episode, I share with you my personal journey around food, body image, and feminine hunger. I touch on the healthiest aspects of my journey - as well as my dysfunctional habits - and the specific tools I’ve used to “rewild” my relationship with food and my body.
When I watch my 16 month old baby naturally eat what she wants, when she wants, and intuitively follow her own hunger cues… I know that this is our natural state.
Yet so many of us have a far-from-natural relationship with food and our bodies. We may diet, overexercise, binge & purge, obsessively count calories, or restrict ourselves. All of this comes from a “top-down” control of our bodies, rather than a deep trust of our body’s wisdom.
This episode is an invitation back to your natural state, a chance to “rewild” your body, and rediscover what you intuitively know about eating and feminine hunger.

| Season 2, Ep 18 - The True Power of Feminine Magnetism | 08 Feb 2023 | 00:19:12 | |
Hey feminine being - do you realize how powerful you are?!
For years, I overworked, overgave, and over-hustled… because I had no idea how naturally and inherently magnetic I was. I didn’t trust the power of my feminine to attract what I wanted - in love, in friendship, in work.
In this potent solo episode, I share about my personal feminine awakening 10 years ago, and my journey into deeper trust with my body, with my longings, and ultimately, with the universe.
I’ll also share the 9 qualities of being magnetic, and invite you into deeper self-reflection with me on your current superpowers - as well as areas you may be curious to explore further.
May this episode activate a deep remembering inside you of just how badass and magnetic you truly are.

| Season 2, Ep 35 - On the Spot vs. Off the Spot (Mini Episode!) | 31 Jan 2024 | 00:11:07 | |
How do you know when a decision is right for you? What does that vague restless feeling tell you about your current life path?
This mini episode is about a key concept I learned from my Orgasmic Meditation training - being on vs. off the spot - and how that concept has influenced the way I look at subtle energetics of life choices. It’s been one of the most life-changing concepts I’ve found. Hope you enjoy it!

| Season 2, Ep 16 - Soulmate Clients Only: How The Content Queen Made Her Magic Online with Rebecca Ives | 13 Jan 2023 | 00:44:51 | |
Say hello to Rebecca Ives, my current coach and online love. She says she is a “spiritual teacher masquerading as a marketing coach”. She has built her multi-six-figure brand on unapologetic self-expression, saying the rawest and realest thing, and having her own back in a big way.
In this conversation, we’ll talk about how Rebecca began her online career and built her internet persona and community over the past decade, and how that has allowed her to work only with people she considers “soulmate clients”.
Watching the way she holds loving - yet firm - boundaries in her business has deeply inspired me to also raise my standards and only work with people that feel amazing to my soul. She has helped me pay close attention to the energetics of my business to make sure it feels enlivening rather than draining, especially as a new mom.
I’ve also been impressed by how Rebecca ditches the overly glossy highlight reel and shares openly about her sometimes messy, always real, personal journey.
She oozes self love, sparkle, and glittery goddess vibes so if you’ve been waiting to unleash more of your whole self online - you don’t want to miss this episode!
Key Topics: The genesis of The Content Queen: creating the persona [1:37] The quantum leap that scaled her business to multiple six-figures [4:41] Soulmate clients only: setting clear boundaries for ultimate feminine flow [8:23] Using social media as the playground for the deeper parts of your soul [14:41] Getting cancelled and earning your internet battlescars [18:34] How to romanticize your business [24:37] What do ADHD, emotional trauma, and smoking weed have in common?

| Season 2, Ep 14 - Opening Up About My OneTaste Experience | 20 Dec 2022 | 00:30:59 | |
Given the popularity of the new Netflix documentary Orgasm Inc., I decided it was time to share about my 4 years deeply involved in the organization, OneTaste.
The documentary paints a dark picture of the company, and OneTaste has spoken out sharing a light side of the company. My motive in this live is to share my experience - the light & the dark, the gold & the grit.
Because ultimately nothing is all light or all dark - there’s always fifty shades of gray to any story.
So here I let you in on how I got involved, what I learned from the OneTaste teachings, what the community was like, why I decided to leave, and the lessons I still carry with me in my own coaching business today.
This episode just scratches the surface on my own experience. There are thousands of people with their unique OneTaste experience (including those in the documentary) whose experience may be quite different from mine. Take what you like and leave the rest.
My hope in sharing this vulnerable episode is to give you an inside glance into this very controversial community who influenced who I am today - and offer more nuance to the conversation around OneTaste.

| Season 2, Ep 11 - Riding the Waves of Tantric Love-Making with Sarita | 02 Nov 2022 | 00:32:38 | |
Men and women are often polar opposites when it comes to sexual needs, desires, and what turns us on. It’s this polarity that can be the key to either bringing us together or pushing us farther apart. This week, I’m talking with Sarita, a radiant woman in her 60s who has been teaching Tantra for 30 years. Her whole life she has been following the question - “What is the essence of life?” In Tantra, she found an answer. James & I just finished an amazing week-long couple’s retreat with Sarita. At the end of the week, I sit down with her to explore the peaks and valleys of the tantric love-making. If you’ve ever felt that your sex life could be more fulfilling, vibrant, and divine, this episode will give you valuable insights from a master Tantra teacher.

| Season 2, Ep 10 - Changemaking, Taboos, and True Liberation from Within with Madiha Bee and Ehab Hamarneh | 20 Oct 2022 | 00:52:46 | |
This week, I’m doing an interview from a couples’ retreat on the beach in Bali with my friends and fellow changemakers, Madiha Bee and Ehab Marneh. Madiha coaches Arab women to reclaim their sacred feminine power and step into leadership in their communities, while Ehab teaches people to embody their truest selves and become enlightened leaders. This episode will touch on many of the challenges the two have faced in their coaching careers advocating for change and challenging cultural taboos, particularly in the Middle East. We discuss how they each approach criticism from the public, their peers and families, and even within themselves. We’ll also discuss the taboos of challenging deep-seated cultural norms, reframe how other cultures view one another critically, and how to design your own reality to become truly liberated. We’ll leave you with new perspectives to ponder, and the question, “How can you contribute to the change you want to see in the world while trusting your intuition and inner wisdom?

| Season 2, Ep 9 - Surrendering to Emotions and Being Reborn | 06 Oct 2022 | 00:53:22 | |
This week, I’m interviewing one of my coaching clients, Emily, about her journey on a 3-month coaching container with me that’s now coming to an end. Emily first chose to work with me when she was post-partum with her third child and felt she was dragging baggage around from the past that she was ready to surrender. In this episode, we get real about Emily’s deepest emotions, desires, and shadows that she had been avoiding bringing into the light before working with me. We talk about opening up about sexual fantasies, grieving the lost relationship with her mother and the rage surrounding it, cutting ties with people who no longer served a purpose in her life, and what’s in store for her future.

This week, I’m sitting down for a solo episode to talk with you about motherhood and my experience so far raising my ten-month-old baby, Lila. As you can imagine, we’ve learned a lot in the time we’ve had her in our lives. There has been so much expansion, growth, joy, tears, and learning. But all of it has brought me so much love and purpose as our family grows. In this episode, I’m going to share all the moments — happy, messy, scary, and humbling — starting with the first 40 days of our parenting cocoon. I’ll share what it was like to not leave the house for almost 2 months in the beginning, what traveling the world with a newborn was like, our first big health scare as a family, and all the expectations and teachings I’ve had throughout the last 10 months.

| Season 2, Ep 6 - Asking for Your Desires with Stephanie Dickinson | 24 Aug 2022 | 00:46:06 | |
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend Stephanie Dickinson (also a relationship coach), and we’re talking all about asking for our desires from our partners. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and sit down for a heart-to-heart with us. In this episode, Stephanie & I share our real-life, intimate stories around asking for what we want from our partners. As we’ve discovered, it’s not easy to ask for what we want. We often build stories around why what we want isn’t possible, or we drop our desires before we get the courage to ask for them. Here we give you tangible ways to break down the process — how to identify a desire in ourselves and the feelings that come up around the desire, how to approach the desire with a partner, friend, or loved one, and how to be open to others’ desires when we’re on the receiving side of a request. We also explore masculine/feminine dynamics and how to work with the opposing energies when it comes to asking for a desire.

| Season 2, Ep 5 - Our Pregnancy Journey | 11 Aug 2022 | 00:40:54 | |
In today’s episode, I’m joined by my husband James to discuss our pregnancy journey—how we decided it was time to start a family, how we discovered that I was pregnant, what we learned going through this for the first time, and our separate physical and emotional experiences throughout each stage of pregnancy. Pregnancy was a completely new experience for both of us. We went into it with our own preconceived ideas and expectations of how it would be and were met with a reality that toppled all of it. While it was intense and hard at times, we were also pleasantly surprised at how it was simultaneously wonderful and exciting. Join us to hear all the juicy details from preconception, conception, and a trimester-by-trimester walkthrough of our journey together.

Today, I’m interviewing a coaching client and friend of mine, Kori Zornes (@herwanderlustsoul) about her transition into motherhood, and her decision to reach out for support during this transformational time in her life. For many new mothers, the first few months after baby are a blur, and Kori’s experience was no exception. Through all the chaos, she’s been relearning about herself.

| Season 1, Ep 30 - Rebellious Turn On - Choosing to Feel Good in Any Circumstance | 13 Nov 2020 | 00:37:02 | |
When a woman is turned on, she feels vibrant, radiant, alive. When she's not? She feels hallow, empty, numb. In this episode, I share the teachings from my program, Eros, around how to cultivate erotic energy and sustain turn on in any circumstances. It is a rebellious act to choose our body's aliveness and electricity over any "shoulds" of our mind. This episode explores the concept of turn on by sharing my personal experiences, some fundamental principles, and a meditation to help you find turn on inside your own body. | |||

| Season 1, Ep 20 - Mini Episode: The Taboo of Female Self-Pleasure | 31 Jul 2020 | 00:13:25 | |
Isn’t it crazy how taboo and in the shadows female masterbation or self-pleasure is? There’s good reason for this. When a woman takes the reins of her own pussy, her own body, and her own pleasure - she becomes daring and bold. The patriarchy can’t co-exist with women connecting to their authentic pleasure and sexuality. Listen in to learn more. | |||

In this eye-opening solo episode, Megan discusses masculine and feminine qualities, and how much is lost, personally and socially, when we undervalue our feminine sides. | |||
| Season 2, Ep 32 - Co-Designing the Rhythms and Rituals of Your Relationship | 08 Nov 2023 | 00:16:28 | |
One of the least talked about — but most important — aspects of a relationship is how you structure your daily lives together. What are the rhythms and rituals you live by? What is the flow of your days?
Often couples fall into unconscious patterns, without having a clear conversation on the rhythms they want to create together. Nor do they talk about their implicit expectations and baseline standards - which can breed resentment and hurt feelings.
By having an open and honest conversation about these areas, you two can consciously design a more beautiful and fulfilling life together.
In this episode, I share with you two powerful sets of questions to talk about with your partner to help you set your baseline standards and design your daily rhythms. This is potent work! May it create more flow and harmony in your relationship.
