Hotter Than Ever

For so many women, sexuality and intimacy feel like the missing piece in living a fully embodied life, especially as we age. Our culture rarely teaches us how to move past the superficial and toward deeper pleasure, healing, and connection. In this episode, longtime teachers and practitioners of tantric and somatic healing, Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown, join us to demystify tantra, explore its potential for personal transformation and show how it can help us gently release even the oldest wounds we’ve been carrying. We’ll unpack:

• What tantra actually is, beyond buzzwords, and how it turns sex into soul-to-soul connection and prayer
• Simple, practical ways to shift from goal-oriented sex to intentional intimacy
• Why so many women hold emotional weight in their bodies and how to begin clearing grief, numbness, and old stories to make room for pleasure
• Why women carry so much in their bodies and how to begin to release old wounds, grief, and numbness to make space for pleasure
• The science behind the nervous system’s role in pleasure and healing, and how ritualized practices can help us release what's no longer serving us
• Why giving your own sexuality permission and curiosity is the gateway to up-leveling every relationship in your life

OUR GUESTS: Dr. Willow Brown and Leah Piper are leaders in tantric, somatic, and holistic sexual healing whose combined decades of experience have helped individuals reclaim deeper pleasure, embodiment, and emotional freedom. Dr. Willow Brown, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, weaves ancient Taoist philosophy with sexual and spiritual practices to open the body’s innate pleasure pathways and facilitate profound cellular and somatic transformation. Leah, co-founder of the Sex Reimagined podcast and founder of More Love Works, brings expertise in Tantra Yoga, Positive Psychology, and Somatic Therapies, drawing from her own healing journey to guide individuals and couples toward conscious intimacy and awakened pleasure. Together, they offer a deeply integrative approach, bridging science, spirituality, and embodied practice, to help people release old wounds, reconnect with their true selves, and experience sexuality as a pathway to joy, vitality, and profound love.

Culture tells women over 40 that midlife is a time of decline: hot flashes, lost libido, and fading from relevance. But what if midlife is actually your portal to power, pleasure, and self-ownership? In this episode, we’re joined by Natty Frasca, a feminist coach, rebel rouser, and the founder of The Feminine Rebellion, to set fire to the script of people-pleasing and perfection and offer a toolkit for redesigning your one, wild life.

Together, Erin and Natty dive into the realities of midlife: ending marriages (or reinventing them), raising kids (and yourself), walking away from “having it all,” and learning to put your actual desires at the very heart of your existence. Tune in as we discuss:

• Burning down the myth of midlife decline: how changing the narrative is the first step toward profound joy and agency
• How to know when “having it all” isn’t enough: whether it’s a health crisis, career shakeup, or finally naming what you want
• Saying no, drawing boundaries, and giving up the performance of being the good girl, perfect wife, or supermom
• Redesigning relationships: how truth-telling (even when it feels scary or shameful) can be the beginning of deep intimacy, not the end
• Why pleasure isn’t just a reward but an essential power source
• The magic of midlife community: the necessity of surrounding yourself with women who see, support, and challenge you
• Living with radical agency: trusting yourself to choose your work, your relationships, your body, your joy unapologetically

OUR GUEST: Natty Frasca is a pleasure coach, rebel rouser, and the founder of The Feminine Rebellion. She helps high-achieving women over 40 unbind from burnout and “good girl” conditioning—so they can reclaim their confidence, sensuality, and power. Her work blends neuroscience, somatics, and radical pleasure to ignite a woman’s second act into her best one yet.

“Your birthright is pleasure.”

What if everything you’ve been taught about aging, sexuality, and womanhood is not only outdated, but completely wrong? Joining us to challenge all of it is Melissa Louise, a pleasure advocate and erotic blueprint coach whose perspective on midlife, menopause (or as she calls it, “regenopause”), patriarchy, and sex magic will have you rethinking every cultural script you’ve inherited.

In this conversation, Erin and Melissa unpack the rules women internalize about their bodies, pleasure, and relationships and explore what becomes possible when we step outside those boxes. From raising her son barefoot in the jungles of Costa Rica to guiding clients toward sexual mastery, Melissa invites us to reclaim our agency and embrace our inherent power in the second half of life. We discuss:

• Why “menopause” is a social construct designed to weaken women and how “regenopause” can become a regenerative upgrade to wisdom and power
• How pleasure operates as a life force that fuels creativity, manifestation, and even financial abundance
• How society’s 24-hour sun cycle depletes women, and what it means to reconnect with the lunar rhythms of the female body
• The difference between love and monogamy, and why relationship structures are due for a radical rethink
• Why older women have historically been the wisdom keepers, and how we can reclaim our place as guides, leaders, and culture-shapers
• Practical ways to bring more pleasure, freedom, and play into everyday life no matter your age, relationship status, or beliefs about midlife

OUR GUEST: Melissa Louise is a leading  Pleasure Advocate, Erotic Blueprint, Sex, Intimacy & Relationship Expert. She supports women to reclaim their divine birthright to feel alive, orgasmic and turned on no matter their age or relationship status. And men to be more attractive, powerful, trustworthy, make more money and find freedom by lasting longer in bed. It's the perfect erotic cocktail that nourishes health, wealth and well being. With certifications also in Kink 101, Accelerated Evolution and Access Consciousness, Melissa Louise truly embodies the principle that how we do life is how we do sex.

• How to hold onto joy and playfulness in the face of messy relational dynamics, healing old stories, and rewriting limiting beliefs about love

What does reinvention really look like when life keeps throwing curveballs? For Susan Guidi, it’s a story packed with twists, pivots, and badass comebacks. An ultrasound pioneer, mother of three, grandmother of seven, improv performer, stand-up comedian, and award-winning bodybuilder, Susan’s life is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention.

• The art of starting over: whether in a new country, new career, or after heartbreak
• Defying cultural expectations about aging, ambition, and what women “should” want after 40
• Building a thriving business from scratch, with zero business training
• Bodybuilding after menopause: the science, grit, and audacity it takes to compete and win
