In this episode of Hart2Heart, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with returning guest, Nicolle Hodges for a raw, honest conversation about her journey through love, identity, and desire. What happens when polyamory no longer feels expansive, and actually leaves you emotionally scattered? Nicolle shares how stepping into a monogamous relationship helped her reconnect with her feminine energy and finally feel safe enough to surrender. She opens up about the surprising grief that came with letting go, including a powerful ritual to release the future she once imagined. The two also explore BDSM as a form of healing, not just kink, but a doorway to deeper embodiment and trust. Nicolle argues a new way to think about intimacy, power, and what it means to choose love on your terms.  Nicolle Hodges is a Journalist, Author, Sexual Freedom Philosopher: Nicolle Hodges is the founder of Girls Who Say Fuck - an incubator for projects and conversations that instigate change. She is the author of 'Oh, the Places You'll Go Oh Oh' - a book about the power of female orgasms, fully illustrated and written in Dr. Seuss-style verse. She is the creator of Men Who Take Baths - an initiative where men in bubble baths are interviewed about what it means to "be a man."

From her journey as a Gen X woman navigating shame around female pleasure to creating beautifully designed vibrators that challenge stigma, Gwyneth opens up about the evolution of her own sexuality and the importance of sexual wellness as a pillar of overall health. We explore how sexual intimacy serves as a microcosm for all our relationships, why accountability and communication are essential for fulfilling partnerships, and how Gwyneth's current marriage has allowed her to experience a new level of sexual freedom in her late forties. The conversation delves into the performative nature of sexuality many women experience, the challenge of asking for what we want, and how non-judgmental partners can create space for authentic sexual expression. Gwyneth also shares insights about perimenopause and menopause, advocating for rebranding this life stage as an exciting gateway rather than an ending. She discusses her wellness journey, including how gut health has impacted her hormone balance, and reveals her hopes that her show will inspire couples to have vulnerable conversations that deepen their intimate connections. Key Topics Covered: Breaking cultural shame around female sexual pleasure The importance of sexual wellness in overall health Creating sex-positive products and conversations Navigating sexuality through different life stages Communication and vulnerability in intimate relationships Menopause as a gateway to deeper sexuality The connection between gut health and hormones This episode emphasizes that sexual wellness deserves the same attention as other aspects of health, and that honest conversations about pleasure and intimacy can transform relationships at any age.

You were taught to stay quiet. To be the keeper of secrets. To protect the image, the family, the relationship—everyone but yourself. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the kind of silence that doesn't keep us safe—it keeps us small. We'll talk about why secrecy is a form of control, how it gets passed down through generations, and why so many women are still carrying shame that doesn't even belong to them. This isn't just about telling the truth out loud. It's about reclaiming your right to be whole. To stop shrinking. To stop holding it in. To finally belong to yourself. If you've ever been told to “not tell nobody your business”… this one's for you.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.com

Send us a textWhat if the moment you were most judged for was the beginning of your freedom? In this unfiltered and soul-stirring episode, host Andrea Atherton is joined by spiritual intuitive and truth-speaker Michelle Ella Powell for a courageous conversation about healing that doesn't fit the mold. Together, they explore the sacred unraveling that begins when we choose ourselves—even when the world tells us we're wrong—and how pleasure, truth, and embodiment can lead us home to the life we were born to live.Michelle opens up about surviving a decade-long, toxic, and emotionally abusive marriage to a sociopathic narcissist. This relationship left her disconnected from her truth, her power, and her body. But it was an affair — one that involved BDSM — that became the spark of her liberation. Far from being a source of shame, this relationship cracked her open, allowing her to reclaim her voice, her sensuality, and her right to safety and pleasure. Through BDSM, Michelle found a path to healing that honored her boundaries, restored her sense of sovereignty, and reawakened her spirit in ways traditional healing paths could not.Now married to the love of her life, Jesse, and mothering two spirited boys, Michelle continues to walk the path of radical authenticity and conscious connection. She and Andrea speak openly about love's complexities, separation and reunion cycles, and the holy work of becoming. This episode is a reclamation song for anyone who's ever been told their healing was wrong, messy, or too much — a reminder that the path to freedom is often wild, but always sacred.Michelle Ella PowellWebsite: https://awkwardsinner.comSocial media links: https://www.facebook.com/share/18zUBnXJ1v/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.instagram.com/awkwardsinnerigsh=MXh2MHV3ZnNycWtlbw%3D%3D&utm_source=qrhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theawkwardsinner?_t=ZT-8uXgQmbKjgU&_r=130-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

When Sexual Healing is NOT Fulfilling

TRIGGER WARNING: This conversation includes discussion about sexual violence, rape, medical examinations after assault, sex, and sexuality. Unfortunately most listeners will have had some interaction with sexual trauma. We hope this conversation helps you move through difficult feelings and find new understanding of what it can mean to heal and/or be liberated from sexual trauma, and empowers you to define what justice means for you in such situations. However we understand the topic of sexual violence is difficult to engage in. Please take care of you and know this is a resource if needed!------------------This conversation is maybe best described as a journey to better understanding sexual liberation and justice for survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones. In this deep and transformative episode of Impostrix Podcast, host Whitney Knox Lee is joined by Leah Forney, an advocate, consultant, and influential speaker who specializes in sexual health and assault prevention within BIPOC communities. One of her specialties is addressing the need for cultural sensitivity in sexual violence response. As they discuss healing from sexual trauma, Whitney and Leah reflect on their personal experiences seeking justice after surviving sexual violence. And Leah shares her insights on how black women are uniquely affected by such trauma. In this episode, we also touch on the idea of "purity culture" and the stigmatization of menstrual health. We share cultural myths that we grew up with regarding the use of tampons and the miseducation of young girls regarding how to care for their changing bodies. Important themes include reparenting one's self, redefining justice, and finding sexual liberation. Key takeaways revolve around the significance of internal healing rather than external punishment, and the role of cultural and historical nuances in the healing journey. They also touch on societal expectations, faith, and the importance of creating safe spaces for survivors.

Tantra isn't just a practice—it's a profound invitation to reclaim your aliveness.In this excerpt from "Tantra Unveiled - Masterclass", Tara and Raven explore the ancient wisdom of Tantra, a path that dissolves the barriers between mind, body, and spirit. Often misunderstood as being solely about sexuality, Tantra is a sacred tradition that invites you to embrace every part of your human experience—joy, pain, desire, and grief—without judgment. It's not about fixing yourself or striving for perfection; it's about rediscovering the innate wholeness and vitality that already exists within you.Through breath, movement, and connection, Tantra teaches us how to fully inhabit our bodies and emotions. It invites us to let go of societal conditioning that numbs us and suppresses our natural instincts. Imagine a life where pleasure and pain coexist harmoniously, where your sexuality becomes a source of healing rather than shame, and where every moment is an opportunity to feel deeply alive. Tantra asks one radical question: Can you fully be yourself?This episode explores:Why Tantra is the key to unlocking deep healing and emotional freedomHow embracing your emotions leads to profound transformationThe power of slowing down and reconnecting with your body's wisdomWhy sexuality is not separate from spirituality but a potent tool for awakeningIf you're ready to break free from numbness, shame, or disconnection—and step into a life of vitality and authenticity—this is your invitation. Join us at the next Tantra retreat or dive deeper into this sacred practice. It's time to ignite your inner fire and live fully alive. Are you ready? Quotes from this episode:"Tantra isn't about trying to be anything—it's about riding the waves of aliveness. The end of all trying is the beginning of true freedom.""Trauma doesn't live in the mind; it lives in the body. When we allow our emotions to move freely, we release what isn't love and invite pleasure into our lives."Ready to embark on your own transformative journey?Join Living Tantra Retreat - Bali on April 5-12, 2025: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/event/living-tantra-retreat-bali-2025/Join Living Tantra Retreat - Portugal on Nov 2-9, 2025: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/event/living-tantra-retreat-portugal-2025/---Join our newsletter for the latest news and promos: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.activehosted.com/f/3Find out more about our courses: www.embodiedawakeningacademy.com

Ready to reignite the spark and heal after divorce?

Our Somatic Sex, Love, and Relationship bestie Faith Laux is back on the pod to go even deeper (haha, wink wink) into the topic of sex, connection, safety and liberation. Yes yes yes. Get ready for lots of giggles and stop-you-in-your-tracks statements from this incredible woman. In this conversation, Faith and I explore the intricate relationship between healing, pleasure, and sexuality. We discuss why relational safety is essential for a healthy sex life, the impact of shame on sexual experiences, self-pleasure as a powerful tool for healing, and the journey of self-discovery and true self-(and life) acceptance through the teachings of the ancient wisdom tradition of tantra. Faith emphasizes the essential need for open communication in our partnerships (and how this impacts our physiology), how a man's arousal is different than a woman's and how we can (*finally*) talk about this with our partner in a scientific way, our "four brains" and how we can be listen to them in the bedroom for optimal pleasure and healing, and so so much more. Ultimately, this conversation serves as a reminder of the urgency to live fully and authentically, passing on a legacy of aliveness to future generations. Also, we say the "P word" like a zillion times, so FYI for little ears and your own comfort level with that (hello programming!). I am so proud to share this aspect of our healing with you as I am walking this particular journey in real time right now. I got pretty candid with my own process here-- feeling a twinge of a vulnerability hangover but mainly pride because I know I'm being really brave and touching on something important when I feel that. As a friend told me recently, she said that she loves my podcast because I am touching on all facets of what it means to be a mother and a woman in this time, and this episode may not seem like it assists your parenting, but our liberation, our lightness, and our expansion serves ALL. Also, you deserve great sex. Faith is such a safe, wise, attuned, playful advocate as we timidly come back home to ourselves in this sexual realm.
