From 25 Years of Sexual Repression to Being Multi-Orgasmic
Shownotes How to go from sexual shame to cosmic, multi-orgasmic sex Why orgasm should be non-negotiable in your relationship How fear of sexuality impacts a developing nervous system The most common relationship problem women face What it looks like to leave religion and embrace spirituality How to become multi-orgasmic after years of shutdown, no matter your age Bio Talaina is a sexual liberation guide and relationship coach who helps individuals and couples move beyond shame and shutdown into their deepest capacity for pleasure, intimacy, and authentic connection. She transformed her own loving, but nearly sexless, marriage into a deeply connected, thriving relationship that is now a powerhouse of intimacy, emotional depth, erotic vitality, and orgasmic bliss. By unraveling layers of repression shaped by religious conditioning, family dynamics, and societal messaging, she reclaimed her body, her desire, her voice – and ultimately, her life. Now, she guides others into intimacy that is fully expressed, deeply connected, and truly alive. Talaina's work integrates nervous system regulation, advanced biofeedback technology, erotic awakening, and spiritual growth to create profound, lasting transformation. She believes a liberated life is what happens the moment you stop abandoning your truth… and start living it fully and freely.

Mama Gena's Top Teachings About Orgasm
MAY 31, 2026
Mama Gena's Top Teachings About Orgasm
Shownotes Why orgasm doesn't have to mean climax (and what it does mean) Mama Gena's story of failing her final test for a sexuality class The best approach for a woman who is struggling to orgasm Why women have the ability to turn on anytime, under any circumstance What an extended massive orgasm practice is How having your own pleasure practice makes dating better Bio Regena Thomashauer, better known as Mama Gena, is a pioneering voice in women's empowerment, a bestselling author, teacher, feminist icon, and the founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement. For more than three decades, Regena has devoted her work to restoring what has been systematically stripped from women: our connection to the body, our desires, our emotional lives, and our right to want more. At the heart of her teaching is a radical truth: pleasure is a form of power. And when a woman is fully expressed – in her body, her desires, her voice – she moves differently. She tolerates less and expects more. The stakes of her life become visible, and she responds accordingly. This work is rooted in lived experience, decades of research, and the real-world results of hundreds of thousands of students. It has changed the way women relate to themselves, the standards they hold, and the lives they are willing to claim. Regena is the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Pussy: A Reclamation, and has been widely recognized as a leading voice in modern feminism. Regena's approach is both deeply personal and unmistakably collective. In a culture that shames our bodies and suppresses our emotions, her work serves as a vital antidote that offers not only tools for survival, but a pathway to turn-on, truth, and full-bodied liberation. Her conviction: that the feminine, long suppressed, is the force that will change everything. These teachings don't just challenge the status quo. They transform it.
