90. Perfectionism is blocking you from intimacy, pleasure and partnered sex
Have you ever had the following thoughts? In order to have delicious sex and orgasms it all needs to be spontaneous and beautiful, the environment and mood must be ideal, there can't be any tension and you must get wet and horny immediately, If yes, that internal pressure on your body and pussy is blocking you from unparalleled sexual experiences and orgasms because it doesn't let you be fully present and get really intimate.
When you are in a long-term relationship, it is not uncommon to leave the sexual experiences just for "when they happen." If they happen, there are strict expectations around them, and often the turn-on comes AFTER, but it is hardly ever maintained as a constant state of mind. Intimacy is about connecting, not perfection.
Tune in and learn how to set the ground for consistency, maintain your turn-on, and eventually unlock unparalleled sexual pleasure and orgasms.
In this episode:
- What is the big myth preventing you from experiencing sexual pleasure and orgasms.
- What's the enemy of delightful sexual encounters in long-term relationships.
- How to shift your mindset and "live" on the edge of having a fulfilling sexuality.

64: Embracing your inner witch: remembering forgotten reproductive health and natural fertility awareness practices – interview with Siri Kalla
If you are inspired to explore and researched your options in reproductive health and natural fertility awareness methods, then this episode is for you!
In this episode, Erika’s guest is Siri Kalla. A modern witch (according to Erika), who teaches women all around the world how to understand their menstrual cycles, learn safe natural birth control, and learn how to truly nourish their bodies into resolving menstrual cycle health and fertility problems.
Siri was born in Sweden but lives in Norway. Her work originates around menstrual cycle health and fertility from a functional medicine approach - meaning that she looks for root causes rather than just treating the symptoms.
At the core of Siri’s work is the wish to give menstruating people full sovereignty over their bodies. Understanding the menstrual cycle, fertility, and menstrual health is a human right and a basic necessity for a truly feminist society.
She has been on her own journey of healing, understanding and befriending her menstrual cycle since 2009, took my certification as a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner at @justissecollege between 2013-2017, and founded Our Fertility in 2018 to be a container for this work.
While discussing Siri's work, the conversation delves into the historical persecution of female power, embodied sovereignty, and wisdom held by women, midwives, and witches.
In this episode:
-
The historical background that set the stage for the current modern medical system, and how it impacts the knowledge we have about fertility.
-
The weaknesses and issues with the current Western medical system in regards to female reproductive health, and the benefits of alternative methods.
-
Siri's work in functional medicine and her wish to give menstruating people full sovereignty over their bodies.
-
The importance of understanding the menstrual cycle, fertility, and menstrual health as a human right and basic necessity for a truly feminist society.
-
The availability of natural fertility awareness methods, such as the Justisse Method, and Billings Method, as alternatives to conventional medicine options.

Through her seminars, books, online programs and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families and productive organizations.

55: How to Have an Orgasmic/Ecstatic Birth
Can giving birth feel ecstatic? Oh yes! It can even feel orgasmic! And if this sounds too good to be true, this episode is for you!
It all comes to rethinking our perceptions of birth and incorporating pleasure and relaxation into the birthing process, which can lead to a more positive and empowering experience of giving birth for many women.
It is already known that the negative perception of birth and the commonly-held belief that childbirth is a painful and traumatic experience for all women is a result of over-medicalization and institutionalization of the birthing process. Many women are often left feeling isolated and traumatized after giving birth, with the medical establishment and system setting the tone for the entire birthing experience.
The truth is that birth was not intended to be painful, but rather a natural, innate capacity of women that should be honored without intervention.
In this episode, Erika introduces the concept of orgasmic or ecstatic birthing, which involves using pleasure, relaxation, and surrender as tools to facilitate a calm and positive birthing experience. Women are hungry for positive birth experiences and can use these tools to reduce stress, fear, distractions, and blockages that prevent them from experiencing a calm and ecstatic birth experience.
It’s all about creating a different culture around birth that honors physiological birth, reduces the need for medical interventions, and ensures that women have a positive, empowering experience.
In this episode:
-
Giving birth does not have to be a painful and dreadful experience.
-
Tools women incorporate to prep for ecstatic or even orgasmic birth.
-
How to start learning to accept and honour your inner capacity of giving birth without any intervention as a woman.
-
How to surrender and shift the mindset in order to experience orgasmic, raw and powerful birth.

50: Literary Erotica for Sexual Confidence and Sensual Power - Interview with Carly Pifer
In this episode, Erika talks with writer Carly Pifer, about how literary erotica can be, not only fun but also beneficial to women's sexual wellbeing by positively impacting your sexual confidence and sensual power. Join them to learn more about how erotica can help you explore and express your sexuality.
Carly is a writer with a history of exploring taboo topics, including sex and sobriety, abortion, abusive relationships, and of course real erotica. She has also helmed digital content and creative for several more vanilla interests, including Perrier (sparkling water), Burrow (couches), and Blake Lively (Gossip Girl star). With her writing and marketing experience combined, Carly has created an accessible digital magazine for the new dawn of sex-positivity—AURORE.
In the words of Carly, "AURORE is all about taking back control of “our” sexual desires, not being ashamed of our experiences, and sharing them to empower ourselves and others—it is a space to celebrate the sex we loved. All stories are meant to be positive while remaining relatable because we’re not going to pretend that sex is always “perfect” or “beautiful” Aurore is completely reader supported! Aurore is space for everyone with a focus on women’s experiences, user submitted, expertly curated, based on true stories/real fantasies. Carly works with writers to refine their stories and go deeper. Stories are chosen/commissioned to share new perspectives on sex."
Why does it work?
One of the best ways to explore your sexual desires and identity is to activate your brain, because it is your biggest erogenous zone. It is responsible for sending signals to the body to increase arousal, pleasure, and desire. To activate your brain, you need to engage in activities that stimulate your mind and body.
The power of literature to stimulate your mind and evoke emotion and pleasure is undeniable. From journalism to poems, the written word has the ability to evoke feelings of joy, sadness and, of course, pleasure. Reading erotica is one way to create a space to explore your desires and fantasies, it can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, and it could even help you connect with your partner.
Erika has explored before the value owning your pleasure and turn-on, and how porn and literary erotica are excellent tools to have in your pleasure toolkit. Tune in and uplevel your pleasure toolkit with the power of literary erotica and porn made for women.

47: How to Resuscitate Your Erotic Mind as a Mother - Interview with Lisa O.
In this episode of Yes, Please, Lisa is here to share the story of how she redefined her sexuality after becoming a mother and facing a waning sex drive. She restructured her mindset and resuscitated her pussy and her sexuality so that she would want to have sex and BE an erotic and sexual woman again. What started as a project to rekindle her sexual life, ended up as a personal discovery journey and a way to express herself while helping other women do the same.
Lisa is the creator of Please Pinch Me Hard, multilingual, mother of two, wife, and author of erotica that is full of empowering and unspoken truths. If you had told Lisa, having children would leave her with no sex drive and imminent divorce, she wouldn’t have believed you. If you had told her that writing a book with naughty stories would save her, she also wouldn’t have believed you. But never say never! Lisa completely restructured her lifestyle and redefined her sexuality. In the process, she began writing short, erotic stories. And now? It’s what makes her thrive and separates the woman from the mum.
Humans are sexual and we crave sex-iness.
The first step to embracing our sexual identity is to recognize that it is a normal and natural part of being human and that we all have sexual desires and needs. There is nothing wrong with wanting to explore them, however, it is no secret that our society has complicated our relationship with our bodies and with sex and sexuality. Too often, we are taught to be ashamed of our sexual desires and to keep them hidden away. This is especially true for women, who are expected to be demure. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
When it comes to pleasure and arousal, the brain is key, but it will also be key to maintaining desire in a long-term relationship. To create a heightened level of arousal, the brain needs to be in “sex mode.” One way to get the brain into this mode is through self-seduction. This can be done through activities such as shopping for lingerie, watching porn, and reading erotica.
Now add pregnancy and motherhood on top of that.
When couples become parents, it is easy to become overwhelmed with the demands of parenting, but the relationship is still important, it is the foundation of the family so communication and intimacy should be a priority. Intimacy does not always have to lead to sex. Intimacy can be a powerful tool for couples to connect and stay close and explore your body and needs in a safe environment.
Lastly, in this episode, you will learn why it is important to take the time to be selfish. To reconnect with your body, to explore what feels good, to pleasure yourself, and to focus on yourself, even as a mother!
In this episode:
-
Reclaiming the sexual identity
-
Rediscovering sexuality as a mother.
-
Intimacy and connection with your partner
-
Fueling your sex drive with erotica and other stimuli.
-
How having time for yourself and pleasure will help you have partnered pleasure.

46: Self-Mastery, Transformation and Embodiment -Interview with Eva Beronius + Slut Academy launch
Do you want to know how the body can help you connect to truth and truthfulness within your present experience and break free from old patterns of thought and behavior and live your life by design? Then you can't miss this conversation between two EMBODIED teachers, talking about the importance of connecting with your body, embracing your emotions and embody your spiritual self.
Eva Beronius is a Self-Mastery and Transformational Teacher who helps people dismantle their old conditioning and unconscious belief systems to become the artists of their lives. She teaches group programs, leads in-person retreats, and coaches individual clients. She's the founder of the Embodied Self Mastery Community and you hear her in the Uncover YOU podcast.
The idea that we can create our own reality is a powerful one. We all have the potential to create the life we want, but it requires us to take action and to do the work and take a "going first" approach. Your old conditioning is often the result of your upbringing, environment, and experiences. It can be hard to recognize unhealthy patterns and to break free from them, but it is possible when you become aware of your thoughts, feelings, and reactions and are willing to challenge our beliefs.
One of the most important aspects of this work is to embody your sensuality and connect to your body and emotions in a more meaningful way, so that you can tap into your vitality, aliveness, and connection with life itself.
Liberation and empowerment come from within, and involve recognizing and understanding your own power, as well as your own limitations, by engaging in practices that help you walk this path and uncover ALL your possibilities.
In this episode:
-
The importance of deprogramming the mind
-
Why should you embrace your emotions
-
The importance of understanding men and of men themselves
-
Collective wounding
-
Observing your mind
-
The flow of energy and spiritual connection.

44: Sexual Growth Mindset
In this week's episode Erika clarifies and dives in some sexual issues like desire and orgasm disorders, pain during sex or inability to become aroused. They are common, so if this is you, you are not alone and they can be worked on, pleasure is available to you! Maybe it will take a little work, so this episode might be the perfect place to start developing a sexual growth mindset and living your sexuality to its fullest.
There is a lot of secrecy and taboos around sex and that slowly conditions you to experience your sexuality as something shameful instead of something positive and pleasurable that is worth experimenting and even necessary. Sex and sexuality, as well as relationships are skills that need to be developed but due to societal and moral expectations, and the lack of reliable sex education, people and especially women, learn to be ashamed and even reject their sexual nature; with that, inhibitions, and sometimes even sexual issues, arise.
A sexual growth mindset helps you slowly but steadily debunk al your false and limiting beliefs and change them for new and expansive thoughts and practices that can help you work on any blockage that prevents you from experience pleasure, orgasms and a satisfying sex life.
In this episode:
-
Implications of the secrecy and isolation around sex
-
Common sexual issues/sexual dysfunctions
-
Erika's personal experience expanding her pleasure
-
What is available to you to adopt a growth mindset

43: Sex and Cancer - Interview with Faith Laux
As the sexual beings that we are, we can choose to embrace our sexuality throughout our lifespan, treating it like a "work in progress" and keep seeking pleasure al-ways. There is a part of sexuality that is not talked about often, sexuality and cancer or any other long-term medical diagnosis, so this week's guest, Faith Laux, comes to share her experience with pleasure as an added healing modality, and shed some light on this very important topic.
Faith Laux is a Somatic Sex, Love and Relationships coach. Her transformational coaching helps her clients reconnect to the wisdom, intuition and enchantment of their body so that they are empowered to thrive sexually. She helps her clients prioritize their pleasure and delight in their sexual energy. In May of 2022 she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Since then, she has been adding pleasure as a healing modality alongside her treatments to help her thrive and enjoy life on an otherwise grueling journey. She has additional experience with shamanic healing and emotional empowerment which she weaves into her offerings. Mother, artist, wife, teacher and adventurer Faith seeks to normalize the conversation around sexuality, cancer and desire.
If you start thinking about healing as an integrative work, you can approach cancer and any other long-term diagnosis as a part of your life that can be welcomed, understood, nourished and even loved. Moving with it as opposed to rejecting it and desperately attempt to purge it, bringing in an opportunity to connect with a part of yourself that calls for your attention. This smooth dive into a different stage of life, allows you to integrate all your parts, including your sexuality, and pursue true wholeness. In many cases, an unresolved sexual issue can be, not only the source of emotional distress and a dimmed sexual life, but also of disease, and there lies the importance of integration.
Being honest, we know much of our lives revolve around sexuality! So this episode is an invitation to work on yourself, embrace your sexuality and never settle for the idea that the best sex of your life is behind you. And if you or a beloved one are going through cancer, Faith's story will be truly beneficial. Tune in!
In this episode:
-
Cancer as an entity that is part of a person's life
-
The transition from diagnosis to treatment
-
The importance of a support network
-
How trauma could manifest in physical form
-
Why your sexuality deserves the front row in your life

41: Healing journey from dormant pleasure to a rekindled life - Interview with Sofia
If you have been thinking about working on yourself, and you question the place you are in life, if you have been curious abut what it's like working on your sexuality, but are also intimidated and a little bit scared by that work, this episode is for you. This week Sofia has come to the podcast to tell you how she went from having almost no pleasure in her life, to rekindling her sexuality, embracing her body and running around in a bikini, and realizing that sex can get better as you age.
Sofia is a Swedish/Austrian woman living in Stockholm, bi-curious and neurodivergent with a wanderlust soul, lover of cats, and obsessed with music and human behaviour. After a separation, Sofia realized she hadn't been seeking pleasure and she knew she had to do something about it. Despite being in therapy, there was a missing piece. When she found Erika on Instagram, she knew she had to give that a try because she sensed something good could come up from there. Eventually, she ended up in SHAMELESS, surrounded by women from allover the world seeking similar things, pleasure, goodness, joy and amazing orgasms. Her journey, so far, has been more about healing, so much so that she decided to let the process take place and just learn to listen to her body and surrender to a profound healing; and it is through that healing that everything in her life got better and more exciting.
In this episode:
-
How the structure of SHAMELESS can help women advance in her personal development journey and embark in a deep healing journey.
-
How deep, purposeful connection with other women can help you lift a veil and see what has been lying underneath your skin.
-
The importance of listening to your body
-
The difference between therapy and a container with a practical approach, and why both are important.

40: Reclaiming your sexuality as a personal growth journey - Interview with Carolina
In this week's episode, Carolina, a mom of 4, shares how much her life has changed after participating in the last 2 rounds of SHAMELESS. Carolina has been working on her personal development for quite some time and eventually, she realized she had to work on her sexuality after identifying a pattern in which she focused on her partner's pleasure above her own joy and boundaries. This led her to SHAMELESS and to live a fulfilling and pleasurable life, not only in the bedroom, but in all areas of it.
What happens when you constantly ignore YOUR desires and engage in sexual encounters to please the other person or because you feel it's what you ought to do even when you are not 100% down with the idea of having sex at that moment? Well, if it's a one-off thing, it might not be that big of a deal, but if it is a pattern, you will eventually find yourself losing interest in sex and probably with a deep feeling of disrespect or betrayal towards yourself.
Fortunately, you can come to terms with the parts of you that lead you to trespassing your boundaries and the parts that you experience as "not perfect." You can learn to love them and appreciate them exactly the way they are, while seeking new perspectives and new patterns of behavior, changing your mindset and how you experience your own body and your sexuality.
You can choose pleasure, not only in the bedroom but as your new pattern and your new norm, and dive into the feminine energy and start enjoying life, just because you can!
In this episode:
- How working on your sexuality helps you:
- connect with your body on an energetic level that is beyond any limitation
- overcome habits that drive her away from her pleasure
- Redefine every area of your life, including motherhood
- Embody and model what a happy and fulfilled person looks like, how she behaves and approaches life.

39: SHAMELESS - Magnify your capacity to feel pleasure and be powerful and orgasmic
You have an innate capacity to feel pleasure and be powerful and orgasmic beyond measure, you know that, right? Some women are yet to discover how to open those doors, and other women are somewhere halfway, but regardless of where you are in your pleasure journey, there is a fun and purposeful way to get right there, it is called SHAMELESS. In this episode Erika talks about her signature program, a 1-year-long mastermind that has changed the lives of several women around the planet. Even if you are not planning to enter a container right now, this episode will talk you through the benefits of group programs and the changes you can expect in your life when you take part in one.
The magic of SHAMELESS.
Unlocking your capacity to feel unimagined pleasure comes not only from the vast knowledge and guidance that Erika brings to the table, but also the real juicy, sexy, sexual, deeply life-changing transformational work that combines talking and mental learning with doing, sharing, and connecting with others.
When you are part of a community and surrounded by other women who are walking their own paths but also have the same goals in mind -pleasure, orgasmic expansion, sexuality reclamation and liberation, and shamelessness,- the personal growth that you are able to achieve is more in depth and meaningful. 1:1 containers are strong, but the connection and community, the safety to express yourself unapologetically in front of several others, and being able to witness and be witnessed, is truly powerful and transformational.
Add to the mix real, personal, and transformational hands-on work and you get a magnified growth potential.
In this episode:
-
What is SHAMELESS and who is it for
-
What's in it for you: content and delivery of the program
-
What life-changing effects can you expect from SHAMELESS

According to Marcella, the results of taking part in this mastermind are personal, professional, and financial growth, a more satisfying sex life with expanded orgasmic capacity, heightened intuition, new friendships, and an open mind that allows her to welcome and embrace new ideas, new possibilities, more joy, and more pleasure.
Marcella is a medical professional who, a few years ago started taking a more holistic approach to her practice. As a consequence of this and some personal experiences, her interest in women's sexuality grew and led her to seek mentoring from a sex coach and eventually, to SHAMELESS.
Group work is so transformational. Not only do you get valuable guidance from a professional, but also the enriching experiences from other participants, witnessing their growth from a place of companionship. In this episode, you will hear how any woman of any age can heal trauma, overcome programmed ideas and experience the ripple effects of working on her sexuality. Working on yourself and your sexuality snowballs into ALL areas of your life.
In this episode:
-
Why a program is a profitable investment
-
What growth can you expect from a group program
-
How and why SHAMELESS impacts all areas of your life
-
Why embracing your body and your sexual energy will improve your relationship with yourself and your pleasure

36: Glass Dildo 101 – how a hard dildo can revolutionize your sexuality & pleasure
A hard dildo made of glass is an excellent tool for deepening your body connection and exploring a new kind of pleasure capacity in your vagina, as well as for internal vaginal healing and de-armoring. In this episode, Erika talks about all the things you can do, learn, heal, and enjoy with a glass dildo and why you absolutely want to get one.
A glass dildo is the king of dildos. A glass dildo can wake up pleasure in your vagina, create new experiences of pleasure, and sensitize your vagina. Its hardness and its weight increase and awaken the connection between your mind and your pussy; after years of not communicating with her, she might have gone numb and sleepy and as a result, you are missing out on pleasure and fascinating vaginal orgasms.
Like any other muscle in your body, your vagina can store tension and even trauma. Massaging your vaginal canal with a glass dildo will release that tension and help you with vaginal pain if you experience any. It will also help you prevent prolapse and incontinence.
Once you learn how to use your glass dildo, you will be asking yourself why you didn't get one earlier. Tune in to find out everything you need to know about them and where to get high-quality, body-safe pieces.
In this episode:
-
Benefits of having a glass dildo in your sexual toolbox.
-
What results can you achieve with a glass dildo.
-
How to use a glass dildo to deepen your connection with your vagina, and release stored tension and pain.
-
How to choose a high-quality glass dildo and where to get it.

"This need for it to be perfect and the conditions to be perfect, and the environment to be perfect. So, recogize this inside yourself and notice how that prevents you form intimacy. Intimacy with yourself, intumacy with a lover with a partner. And intimacy doesn't have to be perfect, intimacy is about connecting..." [06:09]

29: How to design a pleasurable life of ease and happiness - Interview with Raina
Do you wish your day had seven more hours to fit in all the things you have to do and still have time for what you want to do like having more sex and orgasms? This episode is for you because you probably have the time, you just haven't realized. In this conversation, Erika talks with Raina about how to create a routine that feels good, so much so that you can actually be consistent with it and BE the person who does all those wonderful, pleasurable things and is highly productive at the same time.
Raina is an Online Wellness & Life Coach with a focus on consistency & routine. Based in Denver, single mom of two teen girls, and she has two fur babies who are her everything.
The trick to being consistent with your routine.
According to Raina, there is no trick but if there was one, then it would be the intention. Think about, or better yet, journal about what it's going to feel like in a year if you do [insert here the activities you desire in your life] and you may find that you have the best reason to start aligning your life and your days with that purpose: the intention to be who you want to be, and the vision to know where you are going.
Showing up for yourself in a way that feels good and making a routine that works for you, allows you to become THAT person. After a lifetime of committing to what you think you should be doing, the best strategy to start with these changes in your routine and make it sustainable, is to ask yourself, "what is step one? And define your non-negotiables.
Know what you actually want and that you deserve it.
Approaching your new life -and your new routine- from your desires, brings in positive energy and a sense of possibility. Being clear on what you WANT allows you to take the path of creation with a growth mindset. If that feels uncomfortable, perhaps it's about how deserving you think you are.
You have to know that you are indeed worthy of living that way. If you are a mother maybe you have been taught that you need to put everybody else first but if you don't feel good. Your kids see it, they feel it. They're internalizing it, they're thinking that this is the way that life should be lived. And the cycle never ends.
When you're working towards a goal, like changing your relationship with your body, experiencing more pleasure, having your first orgasm, or more sex in your long-term relationship, oftentimes, it's not spontaneous. You're not going to always feel like it. So put your pleasure practices in your calendar, tune in to this episode, and learn how to design and commit to a life of ease and happiness.
In this episode:
-
What's behind a sustainable routine
-
How to switch stagnate energy for growth and creation mindset
-
How to find or make space for pleasure and pleasurable activities.
-
Where to start when you have decided to take the first step

27: A quickie on motherhood and being sexual!
Are mothers allowed to be sexual, sexually satisfied and sexually free? Even thinking about it seems absurd, right? because all human beings deserve pleasure, all mothers deserve pleasure, but society has made us believe that a "good" mother must forget about herself, her sexuality, her needs, and her desires because now she has children. As if motherhood and sexuality were completely separate parts of a mother's life. Now, if this is feeling icky, you will benefit from this quickie, where Erika talks about pregnancy and childbirth as an extension of sexuality, to inspire you to redefine what it REALLY means to be a sexual woman and mother, and to be open to enjoy your sexuality to its fullness because you are built for it and you deserve it.
Your pussy belongs to you, your pussy is you and she's there for both pleasure and birth. Releasing the old and outdated, paradigm of the good woman and the good mother could be one of the first steps and the beginning of a healing process leading up to a shameless and delightful sexuality.
"Evolution did not fuck up the female body, the female sexual organs, or birth. It is how we live. It is how we think about it. It's how we approach it and use them and abuse them and shut them down through modern day living lifestyle and practices" [6:27]
In this episode:
- Why being a mother and being sexual is NOT gross.
- Pregnancy and childbirth as part of your sexuality.
- The collective consciousness and archetypes that might influence how you experience motherhood.
-
Ecstatic birth is possible and available to you.

26: The Slut Archetype – what and who is she and why she'll revolutionize your sex life!
A person channeling the Slut sexual archetype is someone who takes full control over their own pleasure. Being a slut is about your relationship with joy and pleasure and your ability to be spontaneous and playful. It is about satisfaction. The slut enjoys pleasure for pleasure’s sake!! She enjoys her body and all the things she can do with it, minus the shame and guilt. So in this episode, Erika talks about the slut's energy and power, and the reasons why this type of energy is so judged and misunderstood. As well as a possible way to take your slut to her liberation and free expression.
Archetypes.
We can thank Carl Jung for this concept, he is the one who said that the collective unconscious is contained and expressed within a series of thoughts and behaviors and all of their adjacent signs and symbols.
In a way, the suppression of sluttiness was useful when women in the past, needed "protection" or endorsement from men and society in general. But time has passed and it is about time we release the sluts, because the slut energy is very much needed nowadays, for our pleasure and for the benefit of all the people who crosses paths with a free slut.
Being a slut is a vibe. Being a slut is fun and pleasurable. But we are not only talking about sexual pleasure here, also dancing, singing, eating, drinking, all the things you do with your body! Your ability to enjoy yourself and allow other women to do the same, relies on the free flow of this wonderful, sexy, slutty energy!!
Embrace and embody your inner slut! She who knows she looooves sex.
In this episode:
- What are archetypes
- Redefining the slut archetype
- The liberation of your inner slut, what you get from it and a juicy, guided way to do it.
- Slut Academy, what is it and who is it for.

23: Let's TALK about sex!!
Do you feel uncomfortable or ashamed asking for what you want? Maybe you have been with a partner and really wanted to try something different but just the idea of saying "the thing" or maybe the body part, gave you an unpleasant feeling in your body and a closed throat. That is more common than you can imagine, society is not even used to naming ALL the body parts, let alone expressing desires and needs in a confident, open way. That censorship negatively impacts your pleasure and your sexuality. The good news? You can overcome that! In this episode, Erika talks about the importance of talking about sex to help you improve your sexuality, and boost your confidence and the way you communicate with the person you share your sexuality with.
The foundations of a shameless sexuality
We grow up in a society that replaces the names of the sexual organs with "cute" words that are supposed to be easier to say and easier to hear but they are certainly not appropriate. People need to use the right words to name their bodies and deserve to get that education from an early age. Those are the foundations of a confident sexual adult.
If you are not confident thinking and talking about your own body, in a safe environment with a person you trust, for example your partner, you are closing yourself to acknowledging and embodying your wholeness, and your partner's wholeness. You are censoring a natural and exciting part of your existence. You can turn all that around and own your desires, own your expectations, your words and embody a confident shameless woman.
Learning to reclaim all your body parts, and learning to let go of feelings of shame or disgust are the first steps to enjoying more pleasure and living your sexuality freely.
If you are in a long-term relationship or if you enjoy sharing your sexuality, learning to TALK about sex and share your desires will also allow you to hold space for your partner (or partners) to open up and share their fantasies too. Can you imagine what could come out of that level of trust and confidence?
In this episode:
-
Why is it important to re-invent and reclaim sex education
-
How censoring yourself affects your confidence and your sexuality
-
The benefits of talking more about sex
-
What you can do to be more open toward the sexual nature of human existence and learn to talk about it the way you talk about any other human need.

22:An ancient practice that activates a dormant sexuality (Deer Exercise)
Women's health, well-being, vitality, and sexual energy can be boosted and cultivated through one simple, yet potent, daily practice. It takes just a few minutes but, if done regularly, the results are not only long-lasting but pleasurable evident, and enjoyable.
In this episode, Erika explains in detail why and how the Deer Exercise, one of the best-known women's exercises from the Taoist tradition, practiced for at least 4500 years, will benefit your sexuality and your health.
The Deer exercise works through the endocrine system helping to naturally and gently balance the hormones and cycles, turning uncomfortable bottled-up sexual desire into relaxed, enjoyable sensuality, improving sexual enjoyment. It also helps with premenstrual symptoms, irregular and painful periods, lumpy breasts, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you don't menstruate, you will benefit as much from this practice, as it increases your overall vitality, your sensuality and sexuality, and it deepens your connection to your emotions and your physical body specifically your pussy and your sexual organs.
You can take notes or, better yet, download or come back to this episode as much as you need to practice the deer exercise and note the changes happening day by day.
In this episode:
-
The deer exercise: what is it and why you want to practice it.
-
The benefits and positive changes you will experience when you practice it regularly.
-
The steps. How to do it, when and for how long.

21: Rest and soften = MORE pleasure and better orgasms
You experience more pleasure when you rest. If you tend to overlook the importance of rest, this is for you. When you slow down and relax you enter into a rest and digest state, your body softens, you soften, and are more receptive so you will find it easier to let in and enjoy happiness AND pleasure -both sensual and sexual.
Sounds great, right? However, most people struggle with the idea of resting because we have been told that the more we do the more we deserve. Which, at least in terms of PLEASURE, is a complete lie. You deserve pleasure, you deserve to rest and be with yourself every single day of your life.
This episode, inspired by one of Erika's clients, touches on the importance of being present in your body and making space for all the responsibilities of life but also for all the pleasures, from a grounded and conscious state of being to experiencing more pleasure and satisfaction.
"When we enter into this rest and digest relaxed body brain soft state of being we feel an almost automatic or very natural, easy access to connection with sensual energy, we feel and perceive energy in the body, it is easier to be present in the body" [15:58]
"Fuck yes to extreme relaxation and softness because it is such a bridge to sensuality and to energy, an energy phenomenon that you can experience. And when you get a little bit more knowledgeable in this or experienced with this [...] then you can start directing energy inside and playing with energy in a really fantastic way" [20:04]
In this episode:
-
The difference between Fight or Flight and Rest and Digest, and their impact on your pleasure.
-
The importance of allowing yourself to be fully present and listen to the sensations in your body and the stimuli around you.
-
Why and how rest allows for more pleasure and better orgasms.
-
How to make space for conscious, intentional, and sustainable rest in your everyday life.

Everyday sensuality is so valuable. Through this series, you will find guidance and inspiration to experience sensuality in your everyday life without anything super fancy and anything external, just by creating moments of feminine delight through your senses.
In the second episode of the series, you will learn how to transform any meal into a supra sensual experience that will gratify ALL your senses.

Being with your sensations.
Enjoying dinner with other people and a nice conversation is heartwarming, or a lunch break scrolling through social media can help unplug your brain and give you the boost you need for the second half of your work day.

The key is to be truly present and pay attention to how the food looks, and how it smells, you can touch it, and focus on how it feels in your mouth, your lips, or even on your hands. Do it with intention and focus on the sensations, the thoughts, and the feelings that come to your mind through this experience.
In this episode:

Learn how everyday sensuality can up level your everyday life
-
Learn how a daily task can help you connect with yourself through your senses

18: Super effective and empowered foreplay
This episode will be a game changer, so empowering and effective in so many ways, especially when it comes to experiencing more turn-on and more pleasurable sex regularly, including astounding foreplay.
Your relationship with self-pleasure and foreplay
You are responsible for your turn on and while your partner (or partners) gets to be involved in it, you own your turn-on. And if your partner is a man, it can take way, way longer for us women to get to the point where we are ready.
Putting yourself in charge of your pleasure AND your turn-on during foreplay changes the way you enter the bedroom and changes the whole experience. When you are in charge, you are no longer dependent on what your partner does or doesn't do because you receive them from a place of ownership and you get to share all the pleasure that you already feel.
"A lot of women feel so dependent on men to initiate sex, to turn us on, to take care of us sexually, this is all part of the conditioning we've received growing up and the lack of role models and all of that so when you flip that narrative and you say actually I'm responsible for my own turn on and I take the matters into my own hand you are reversing a lot of that and you start to decondition a lot of that stuff" [10:06]

17: Self reclamation, soul embodiment and a new kind of womanhood - Interview Morgan Day Cecil
In this episode, Erika and Morgan share their experiences through the different seasons of life, including motherhood, and how embodying their own soul purpose has allowed them to help other women walk this path too.
Morgan Day Cecil has a Master's Degree in Philosophy and has spent 20-years training in mind-body-spirit methodologies for healing and transformation, including yoga, breath work, trauma-release, hypnotherapy, deep feminine psychology, energy healing, contemplative Christianity, and Tantra.
Self-reclamation is healing.
With the images of womanhood that are carved in our collective and a shared wounded feminine history, often times women find themselves with a profound disconnection between their conscious and unconscious desires and goals. But the good news is that you are allowed to shed your identity and create a new one!
You can reclaim the parts that have been deeply wounded, even if it was by other women, and start the process of healing, to show up in the world being who YOU want to be. Self-reclamation is brave work, our mothers didn't get a chance to do this, we are the front runners, so sharing the process can be really inspiring, and that's what you will find in this conversation.
A new womanhood
What you do for your soul and your healing is bigger than you. It begins in your heart and impacts the collective because we are connected to all women. When we understand this, we know it is safe to let other women do their own work, because together we are creating a new kind of womanhood, where each of us gets to embody their soul's purpose.
"Step into our future self, the woman that we decide we are becoming. It doesn't matter what happened in the past, it doesn't matter our history or what we carry from our ancestors, we are conscious beings and we get to decide in this present moment who we want to become" [35:05]
“Coming home to yourself is about learning to trust what lights you up and letting other women be on that journey too. We don’t need to police each other, you can absolutely trust another woman with her journey of coming home to herself and what lights her up ” [49:40]
"When you are connected to your soul and what she is here for, like, it doesn't matter what anyone says, there is such clarity and confidence that comes through that" [54:23]

16: GUIDED PRACTICE: Sensual & Loving Full Body Experience
In this episode, Erika guides you through a sensual experience that encourages you to accept and live your pleasure as an ever-changing story. You get to just be, you get to enjoy yourself, your sensuality, and your pleasure during all of the stages of your life, all of your seasons. And you get to be present with your feelings and your sensations because pleasure is good for you. Self pleasure is good for you.
Coming home to your body and enjoying your presence is a deep and sensual experience, solitude can be a space to connect with your spiritual heart and with your physical body through pleasurable sensuality.
Remember that you don’t have a body, you ARE a body and you deserve to develop a rich loving relationship with yourself, you deserve to embrace and love the body that you are, just the way you are, it is the most wonderful place you could be living in. You deserve to embody and enjoy your wholeness.
“Commit to accepting and welcoming whatever you are experiencing as it is. You can think of your body and your pleasure as the relationship between the planet and the weather. Your body is the planet, your pleasure is the weather. The planet doesn’t complain about the weather, it accepts it. Sometimes it’s raining, sometimes it’s sunny, there’s winter, then comes spring, there’s seasons. It just is. You can have the same no expectations, accepting, welcoming relationship to your pleasure…” [03:07]

15: Get to know your Pleasure Landscape
In this episode, Erika inspires you to amplify your pleasure by getting to know your body on a deeper level. Your whole body is a pleasure playground and it constitutes your pleasure landscape, however, there are specific areas of your body that are more sensitive, the erogenous zones, and they can give you exquisite pleasure and sensations, and even orgasm, and no, it’s not only the genitals.
Some erogenous zones are directly associated with sexuality, but others are not, and that’s why it is so important to explore yourself fully so that you don’t overlook any pleasure source, and to you give yourself the chance to discover not only where you like to touch yourself or be touched, but also the HOW.
“So by focusing on your whole body as a big playground for pleasure and erotic goodness you will discover new areas of your body that you may have ignored or forgotten about and/or you will increase pleasure by more directly and generously focusing on pleasuring yourself” [10:18]
“Start to really expand your pleasure landscape, draw a bigger map of pleasure in your body so that when you are solo pleasuring yourself you are not just going straight to the genitals but allowing yourself to give yourself a full body massage, or tickle your skin and breathe into the sensations and have a non specific erogenous zones good time” [07:07]

14: How to be sexual/sexy AND feel safe in this world
When you are radical and bold with your sexual energy, and you conduct yourself from that sexyness, you inevitably attract people’s energy, you become magnetic, but there are certain moments when you could feel nervous, scared, intimidated and, in general, unsafe with the type of attention that it is been given to you. While there is a valid reason to feel that way, you can build resilience and strength, and program your nervous system to protect yourself and your energy.
As you start to work on your pleasure and your sexuality, and you start feeling energetically gorgeous, your behavior changes not only in the bedroom but in all areas of your life. You emanate a type of energy that is irresistibly attractive to men and women and they start to respond to how you move, how you talk, how you behave and how you carry yourself in general. If you are starting this journey, know that all this doesn’t have to be a reason for you to stop discovering, enjoying and showing up as the sexual, sensual adult woman that you are. Your transformation is magical, fun and relevant, so remember, you get to choose how you show up.
From visualizations to personal defense, in this episode inspired by a follower, Erika shares with you six strategies to feel more confident, empowered and in control of how you react to the world around you, so that you can decide for yourself and choose how you want to be perceived and how you really want to do with and respond to the attention you get.
“When we want to transform anything in our lives, but specifically when it comes to sexuality because it can be so connected to deep fear, deep conditioning, strong emotions like shame, etc., and fear of consequences, right? It's important to know and ask yourself, ‘am I afraid of the result or am I afraid of the journey?’. Often times it’s one out of the two” [09:43 ]
“We can operate from the same kind of smallness or power dynamic or hierarchy as if we still were that little kid, that little girl with strangers or with other adults in life as an adult. So you have to make sure that you understand that ‘I am an adult now and I set my own rules, now I get to be the adult, now I am at the top of that hierarchy, now I am the one who is deciding what the consequences are, who gets to do what and I am sovereign and autonomous’ ”[14:55]
“How do I reject a suggestion from someone that I don’t know. Why do I care so much about a stranger’s feelings that I override my own authentic feeling and I completely disregard and ignore what my body and mind, and spirit and pussy are telling me?” [18:25]

13: Female power, Eros, and the inevitable passing of time with Julia Lally
In this episode, Julia and Erika share about their personal and professional experiences as a coach to bring you a beautifully deep and raw conversation about pleasure, sex, sex and aging, and female power. Below are a few of the things they cover in this episode.
Sex, a literal and metaphorical concept of creation.
Sex is not only about feeling the sensations, although that is an indivisible part of it. Your body is a vessel where the universe can channel, through your sex, very powerful energy that can make an immense impact in your life and in the life of the people around you. Julia, more than a coach, is a sex magician and she believes that when you allow yourself to deepen your sexuality and enjoy your pleasure at its full expression, you get access to sexual ecstasy and you can anchor to your erotic power to create your life from that magical place.
Female power, Eros, and the inevitable passing of time.
Being a sensual woman, a lighthouse and a channel can put you in a vulnerable position, the world and some of the other women are not going to feel comfortable with you owning your erotic power and your wholeness, because it can be deeply triggering for them; and that can be painful for you. If to this potential conflict, you add the fact that mature women also shine their light and live their sensuality, you encounter a whole other trigger for people who hold themselves back: the fact that mature women also get to shine their light, show, and enjoy their sensuality, and harness their erotic power.
So how can you live as your sensual and erotic self, enjoy your sexuality and leverage your sexual power? In this episode Erika and Julia reflect on their own journeys as embodied teachers, to share with you a word of acceptance and surrender that could help you ease the doubts and discomfort that comes with standing on your sexual power and living your truth.
“But eventually, like, as you get access to your sensations, and you, you're more comfortable in your body and all the things that you were talking about, and you teach, that vessel starts to open. And so then the inevitable question is, well, it's all coming in from the universe. Where's it going? You know, where do I take this? Who's going to feel it? What impact that can have and maybe that's one of the reasons why female sexuality is so controlled repress. blardy blardy blar because you No, we're all conditioned to keep our vessels tiny. And then we have no impact.”[9.25]
“Because of that, you know, that beautiful flow of energy. So, like you said that doesn’t change as you age, you can still light up a room with your eros. It’s very subtle, it’s not kind of particularly out there, but you can see people respond.” [39.24]

Ageism, in general, is so detrimental but when it comes to sexuality, it can shut you down. It can prevent you from enjoying pleasure during each and every stage of your life. It holds you back with limiting beliefs like “I am too old for…” which by the way are almost never true.
In this episode I will share with you my perspective on aging. Aging doesn’t need to be gloom and doom, in fact, your sexual life keeps getting more interesting and sassy, if you allow yourself to embody pleasure and sensuality throughout your life.
Being youthful is a type of energy and it is attractive, and you, my friend, can cultivate it through pleasure.
