Why are so many women still faking orgasms—and blaming themselves for sex that doesn't feel good?I can't even begin to tell you how many women come into my office thinking they're broken—because sex isn't working for them the way it “should.” They're doing all the right things, checking all the boxes, and still feeling disconnected, dry, resentful, or just straight-up bored in the bedroom. But here's the thing: it's not their fault, and they're definitely not alone.In this episode, I'm talking with Maria, a total powerhouse in sexual medicine and menopause care. We go deep into the systemic blind spots in medical training, the cultural shame around female pleasure, and how most of us were never even taught how to understand our own bodies. From the bedroom gap to vibrator prescriptions, we're covering it all—honestly, unfiltered, and with the kind of compassion that's long overdue.Maria shares how her own clinical journey shifted when she realized how many women were being misdiagnosed or dismissed—especially when it came to menopause and sexual health. She's on a mission to close the gendered healthcare gap, and she's not waiting around for the system to catch up. We also dig into the everyday stuff: how screens are killing sex, why novelty matters, and how to actually start advocating for the sex life you want.This is one of those conversations that'll make you laugh, nod, and maybe even rethink your nightstand drawer. And yes, we talk about lubes, vibrators, and why your bedroom deserves better vibes (and better lighting). Highlights:The origin of The Bedroom Gap and how it's damaging women's relationshipsWhy Maria believes medical education is failing women—especially in menopauseThe orgasm gap, mercy sex, and how women are taught to prioritize male pleasureThe cultural baggage that still surrounds self-pleasure and masturbationHow to reframe your relationship with lube, sex toys, and your own bodyIf you loved this episode, don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment wherever you're listening.

Let's talk about sex as we age! I am so excited to share this conversation with Maryjane Fahey, creator of Glorious Broads and all-around bad b*tch. Maryjane is 74 and has never felt more alive. The revolution of openly curious women is on the rise, and I'm living for it! Curious about sexuality, open marriage, sobriety, both having kids and not having kids… it's all about opening up communication with yourself and with the people you're in relationship with. Especially as women, we crave intergenerational friendships. Most of Maryjane's audience is younger, 25-45, and love hearing her debunk myths about growing old. We absolutely don't shrivel up and become irrelevant; we absolutely still want sex and can feel sexy, and we absolutely can live pleasure-filled lives!Maryjane shares the juice on sexuality as we age. Once pregnancy is removed as an option after menopause, pleasure is at the forefront. If we choose, there can be the liberation of not needing the next partner or spouse, just the next wonderful person to be with. Power is no longer a performance. This one will leave you feeling inspired and hot, no matter how old or young you are!Topics Covered:Feeling lively AF at 74Maryjane's daily practices to connect with joy and pleasureThe rise of curious women!Sexuality as we ageOn being anti-retirementMenopause and hormonesResources Mentioned:Instagram: @wednesdaymartinphdHormone Studies: What Went Wrong?

Excited/intimidated/thrilled by the idea of an orgasmic birth? Me too. I spoke with orgasmic birth doula Debra Pascali-Bonaro about the dire need to put joy, love, and ecstasy back into the birth experience. Debra's journey centers around transgressing the medical system's authority on what birth should look like and instead encouraging women to let their own bodies and babies be the guide. The system isn't all bad, but it leads from pain and fear instead of uplifting the birth experience. This is deeply evident from how birth is managed in hospital rooms to the birthing language itself. Debra widens my understanding of an orgasmic birth to include not just a potential birthgasm, which can really help the baby come out, but also the experience of your baby being between worlds, first feeling your baby against your skin and looking in their eyes, and the many pleasurable moments in between. After all, birth is on the same continuum as sexuality. Pleasure keeps the hormones flowing. Debra emphasizes that we need to take the time for pleasure practices every day because we birth the way we live. Topics Covered:Putting joy, love, and ecstasy back into birthOrgasmic birth, the birthgasm, and all of the pleasureThe pleasure and pain of my own birth experienceSex and birth continuum Pregnancy is a time for healing and sexualityPleasure practicesShifting illness-based birth language to a more pleasureful oneResources Mentioned:DONA International: Doula training and doula certificationsOrgasmic Birth MovieGuest Info: Debra Pascali-Bonaro | websiteOrgasmic Birth | InstagramOrgasmic Birth | podcastFollow Me:Instagram: @afinehuman Shop Dame: dame.comThis podcast was produced by The Wave Podcasting

I'm excited to welcome Katherine Morgan Schafler to the show! She's a psychotherapist, writer, speaker, and the former onsite therapist at Google. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology at UC Berkeley before obtaining two masters from Columbia University. Additionally, she completed her postgraduate training and certification at the Association of Spirituality and Psychotherapy in NYC. Today I'm bringing Katherine on to talk about her recently published book, The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, which is designed to help you understand the different types of perfectionism, how your perfectionism can work for you, (not against you), and how to embrace it. We talk about the sociocultural issues ambitious women face, the importance of living in alignment with what you truly value, and how you can harness perfectionism in a healthy way to be your most authentic self. Having these conversations inspires me to take a beat and think about how I am being thoughtful with my days, my energy, and my time, and I'm so grateful to Katherine for sharing her professional advice with us. If you're a fellow self-proclaimed perfectionist, make sure to take the perfectionist profile quiz on her website to understand your type, and pick up a copy of her new book, The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, to learn more.We also cover…00:01:32 — Perfectionism Isn't a Bad ThingKatherine's career journeyRead: The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and PowerThe sociocultural issues with languaging used to describe womenMaladaptive vs adaptive perfectionismCommercial wellness labeling perfectionism as “bad” when it isn'tWhy high functioning people suffer from stress and depression How to begin working through what doesn't feel right in your life00:19:44 — Living in Alignment with Your ValuesPleasure's role in finding what makes you happyThe difference between immediate gratification and pleasureThe connection between perfectionism and happinessTwo questions Katherine encourages ambitious, high-achieving women to ask themselvesBreaking the illusion of control00:32:06 — How to Unleash Your Perfectionism in a Healthy WayThe different types of perfectionism and each one's advantages and liabilities Take the perfectionist profile quiz: perfectionistsguide.com/quizWhat types of perfectionists Kelly and Katherine areDr. Kristin Neff's framework: 3 skills for responding to yourself compassionatelyReframing the idea of productivityManage Your Energy, Not Your Time by Tony Schwartz and Catherine McCarthyResources:Website: perfectionistsguide.comRead: The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power by Katherine Morgan SchaflerTake the quiz: perfectionistsguide.com/quizInstagram: @katherinemorganschaflerLinkedIn:...

When does perfectionism serve us?  When can it get in the way? While it's great to excel at something we're passionate about and awesome to get focused, go for it, build skills, achieve and slay the day, when it comes to cultivating a deeper experience of pleasure, habitual perfectionism can be a massive road block. Why is that? Our sensuality is about coming home to our senses. And that means slowing down and caring for our nervous system so that we are available to open and receive. That scares a lot of women. And that makes sense. There's a lot there. It's so important to get that our sensuality shuts down in go mode. If we want to access and embody more pleasure, radiance, magnetism and intuition, being "task master" hard on ourselves will take us out every time. It may sound odd, but I feel that habitual perfectionism is a trauma response. It keeps us on the never ending hamster wheel of strife and keeps those stress hormones like cortisol flowing. If pleasure is a portal into our sacred feminine essence (I believe it is) and if that's something you're interested in exploring (if you're here, you most likely are), it's essential that you get good as shifting gears. Here I riff on:Why I view habitual perfectionism as a trauma response and why it's not our faultConditional love and "not enough-ness"How this derails our pleasureGetting out of our head and into our bodyThe self critic programOwning our worthinessTrusting our bodies, ourselves and letting goSensual pleasure as a major portal into your sacred feminine essenceThe feminine lens of TantraPerfectionism and hyper vigilance Perfectionism and people pleasingHonoring our bodies responses to threatFinding the right mix for youDesire, goals and pressureHow pressure can sap our pleasureThe power of approvalThe Inner Smile practiceThe bracing that comes with needing to be perfect and how that blocks our pleasureComing out of reactivity and scarcityAllowing ourselves to be messyTaking the foot off the gasLearning to toggleWant to go deeper?Download the Inner Smile Meditation Join my free breathwork membership; Shakti Core Breathwork Journeys

Let's start with the basics - what turns YOU on? Not what society, culture or religion says should turn you on, but what makes you feel vibrant and alive?In this episode, I approach this question from four different layers. I invite you to think about and debunk the social scripts around sex, redefine foreplay, and broaden the definition of sex beyond intercourse or penetrative sex. What You'll Learn:Why it is essential to be aware of what turns you onHow social scripts around sex interfere with your pleasureThe benefits of becoming more sexually self-awareWhat actually is foreplay?How to discover your sexual accelerator and sexual brakeHow broadening your definition of sex can be a gamechanger How can your partner pleasure you if you don't clearly understand what turns you on? Connecting with what indeed turns you on might require getting rid of social conditioning or ingrained beliefs about what is "normal" and "acceptable" in the bedroom. This is an excellent opportunity to question how you've approaching sex.

We are living in very exciting times. A new way of being human on the planet is emerging. For over 5,000 years an extreme over polarization into the masculine principle has dominated all of our systems including our spiritual institutions. What's been revered, worshipped and held sacred has been almost exclusively dictated through a masculine lens. This has led to a massive imbalance and a degradation of all things feminine. We see this in most major world religions and in most forms of yoga and meditation.But things are shifting. And reviving the sacred feminine arts is at the core of this quantum shift. The feminine in all of us is on the rise. And right on time.In this episode we explore:What is masculine spiritual practice?What the masculine in all of us cravesWhat is feminine spiritual practice?What the feminine in all of us cravesThe three key inquiries of sacred feminine practiceThe role of embodied pleasureThe role of embodied beautyThe role of embodied loveHow the masculine finds spiritual bliss and nourishmentHow the feminine finds spiritual bliss and nourishmentHow this dynamic shows up in my marriage and our daily spiritual practicesMasculine breathwork vs Feminine/sensual breathworkHow most modern spiritual practices were created through the masculine lens at the expense of the feminineSome links for you:Book your free Pleasure Queen Activation Session here.I've got all the details of the Second Spring Queen Program laid out for you in a PDF manual.  Download it here

Jia Gottlieb, MD, talks about his new book aah...The Pleasure Book. Learn how the simple pleasures in your life can bring ecstasy! In aah…The Pleasure Book  Jia Gottlieb, MD, sets out to redefine and reclaim the wisdom of pleasure as a natural resource as essential to our health and well-being as fresh air and clean water and the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Interweaving his own life experiences and work as a healer with insights from history, religion, philosophy, neuroscience, and mysticism, Dr. Gottlieb offers a deep and clear understanding of pleasure—what it is, what it isn't, and why we need it.  But the author aims to do much more than changing the way we think about pleasure. Instead, Dr. Gottlieb provides an accessible, encouraging guide to incorporate the art and practice of joy into our relationships, work, play, and everyday habits.         What is aah... pleasure? “Pleasure is an experience that feels good. If it fills your body with delightful sensations, evokes warm feelings in your heart and positive thoughts in your mind, brings a smile to your lips, excites, amuses or satisfies, lifts your spirits or inspires a sense of well-being, meaning, and purpose, then it's a pleasure.  And we are biologically hardwired to seek it,” he observes. Sounds wonderful. So, why in our pursuit of pleasure do we often end up in pain and suffering? As Dr. Gottlieb explains, it's because we are often confused and beguiled by empty pleasures—junk food, reckless sex, greed, fame, and other ultimately unsatisfying pursuits. This dissatisfaction leaves us endlessly hungry for more, which drives overconsumption and the global crises that threaten to destroy our health and environment. Dr. Gottlieb looks at pleasure as a prism of experiences with four levels: physical (think pleasures of the flesh), emotional (love, fun, and other prosocial feelings that make us human), mental (from the delight of learning new ideas to the satisfaction of finding our purpose), and spiritual (including ecstasy, bliss, and coming to peace with how we fit into the big picture). He distills the essence of his rich offering into the Seven Immutable Laws of Pleasure.  We talk about The energy of pleasureThe p,hysical, biological, cultural, and spiritual essence of feeling goodThe Pleasure /pain thresholdCultural pleasuresPleasure as a natural resourceThree gateways to paradiseThe pleasure centers For anyone struggling with self-doubt, addiction, obesity, shame, or guilt, aah…The Pleasure Book presents a practical path to healing and the tools to transform their life joyfully.  JIA GOTTLIEB, MD, was born to an Austrian Jewish father and Chinese mother and grew up in a white, middle-class suburb outside of Chicago. After graduating from college, he backpacked around the world for a year. During a 12-day trek in the Himalayas, he found his calling as a doctor. He received his MD from Northwestern University, completed his residency in family medicine at the Community Hospital of Sonoma County, California, and then traveled to China, Japan, and India to study acupuncture, martial arts, yoga, and other ancient practices. Shortly after returning to the States, Dr. Gottlieb established Still Mountain Clinic in Boulder, Colorado. He provides patients a unique therapeutic approach based on his extensive training in Western medicine and Eastern healing arts.  www.drjiamd.com

A lot of my clients have this expectation that in long-term, committed relationships, there is less pressure when it comes to sex, but oftentimes, there's even more pressure, and it can be difficult to say no when we really should. Today I really want to talk with you more about saying no, using this word, stopping sex and when this is important for you and your pleasure, and also why it's so damn hard to do. I'm not even going to pretend that it's not, because it is really tricky, but it's important to remember why we're doing this and that it's just one more way to keep becoming a fully turned on woman living a pleasured life.I also want to say thank you to those who have taken the time to write a review on Apple Podcasts.

Remember, there is no room for pleasure when you don't give yourself the permission to say no. It's crucial that you feel that it's ok. Saying no is scary sometimes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. I hope this episode helps you create more safety in your body so that pleasure and desire can grow. In the next episode, I'll be talking about when you shouldn't say no, and why these are both important. Enjoying the podcast?Make sure you don't miss a single episode!

We are going to talk today about this idea of not being sexual, and what that even means. Women often say to me, “I'm just not that sexual”, and it seems like an innocent thing, but I want to unpack why this sneaky thought is negatively affecting your ability to become more sexual. We're all here because we want to have better sex, and believing you aren't sexual is holding you back from the sex you deserve. I'm also going to share a simple technique you can use to shift away from this thought and to be able to identify as a more sexual person. Topics in this episodeThe difference between being asexual versus not feeling very sexualWhen you think “I'm not sexual enough” it's going to affect your ability to access pleasureThe roadblocks in starting from a place of “not enough”-nessWhen we identify ourselves in a certain way, it feels like it's set in stone and impossible to change, but it's notYour brain will sabotage your desire to even change this belief you've createdAn exercise to remove old beliefs about yourselfWhen you can see it as a thought in your brain that you are a sexual person, you can begin to direct your brain to think differently This is a sneaky thought that is so commonly overlooked. And when you are starting this journey with this belief, you are starting at a disadvantage. Give yourself the possibility of pleasure by recreating your self-concept and your identity as a sexual being. If you want to be guided with this, this is the exact kind of work I do with my clients and I'm more than happy to talk to you about what that would look like. http://daniellesavory.com/coaching

Today we're going to talk about the simple concept of enjoying sex and how to focus on enjoying it. As we learn that there's more enjoyment in something, we're much more likely to increase our motivation to do the thing that brings us satisfaction. It makes sense why so many women suffer from low desire and wanting to increase their libido. It doesn't have a reward we are used to experiencing. But it is time for a reclamation to our pleasure and to actually wanting it, because we love it. In this episode I share tips on how to begin to want pleasure, how to open your mind to it, and how to keep it once you have it.Topics in this episode:The reward that comes from sexThere's nothing wrong with male sexual pleasure, but there should be pleasure for you both.Make it a habit to practice pleasureYou don't have to do anything new. You just have to harness your attention to pleasureThe intention of finding the good Warming up your awareness What happens when pleasure goes away in the moment As always it's been my pleasure to be with you here today. And I hope that this episode will help you not only want pleasure for yourself but to go after finding it and enjoying it during sex. Because ladies, it is time to take a stand for yourself and equality for your pleasure. This is what I help women do boldly every single day. Standing in your pleasure is standing in your power.
