The Ecology of Intimacy podcast: Sex, love & relationships in motherhoodFrom Survival to Sovereignty: A Journey into Embodied ConsentIn this episode, I open up about something incredibly personal, powerful, and for so many of us long overdue: self-consent and the journey of truly coming home to our bodies.
We hear the word embodiment a lot these days, don’t we? But what does it actually mean to live in our bodies, rather than just in our heads?
As women it’s so easy to stay in that mental checklist mode, always planning, anticipating, and caretaking while completely ignoring the messages from within. So many of us were raised to prioritise others, their...2025-07-2233 minThe Ecology of Intimacy podcast: Sex, love & relationships in motherhoodThe Body Remembers: Reclaiming Pleasure Beyond PatriarchyThis episode was sparked by a conversation with a friend, and it just lit a fire in me. We started talking about how little we were taught about our bodies growing up, especially in the context of pleasure. I’m a child of the ’70s, so you can imagine what sex ed looked like back then (and honestly, not much has changed). It was all about avoiding pregnancy and STIs, with barely a whisper about female anatomy, consent, pleasure & orgasms. And that silence? It's by design.
We live in a culture that benefits from women not k...2025-07-1421 minThe Ecology of Intimacy podcast: Sex, love & relationships in motherhoodComing Home to Your Body: A Mother’s Journey to Healing and Intimacy, with Dr Eva YacobiIn today’s episode, my good friend and colleague, Dr Eva Yacobi, a Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Doctor and Somatic Intimacy Coach interviews me for her podcast; Intimately Speaking. Eva has generously allowed me to share this conversation where she interviews me on my personal journey to this work.

2025-07-071h 01The Ecology of Intimacy podcast: Sex, love & relationships in motherhoodJust Don’t Touch Me; Conversations on Motherhood with Kate ReynoldsIn this episode, I'm sharing a recent interview I did with my dear friend Kate Reynolds, a registered nurse and fellow podcast host (High Tea with Lady V) who’s refreshingly honest when it comes to women’s health. We talk about everything, from being touched out in motherhood, to how we've been conditioned from a very young age to be people pleasers, and how that shows up in our sexuality through every stage of life, from girlhood to motherhood, and even into perimenopause.
Kate and I talk openly about the incredible power of female sexua...2025-06-301h 00The Ecology of Intimacy podcast: Sex, love & relationships in motherhoodWhen Life Pauses: Navigating Surgery & Recovery in Motherhood & Intimate LifeIn this episode, I’m opening up about something really personal, my upcoming spinal surgery.
To be honest, I’ve been feeling a mix of fear and a tonne of vulnerability. It’s all happened so fast and it's been a lot to carry.
As I’ve been processing everything, it’s made me reflect on how many of us face these unexpected life moments that we don't see coming. The ones that knock the wind out of us. And yet, somehow, we keep showing up. And I wanted to speak to that.

Reclaiming Midlife As a Radical Reorientation.Grab yourself a cuppa and let’s dive into something that’s been on my heart lately, midlife. I’m talking about midlife, not as a crisis point, but as a radical reorientation.
This is a soul-level conversation about what it really means to reach this stage of life. Because if you’re anything like me (and so many women I know), you’ve spent years putting everyone else’s needs before your own. Keeping the peace, holding it all together, making sure everyone’s okay… even if it meant you weren’t.
Sound familiar?

From our early adolescent years, we are socially conditioned to be at war with our own bodies, never really feeling at home, connected, relaxed, and anchored into deep self love of our physical form.
This robs us of our energy, our power, and our time here on this planet.
Learning how to cultivate full body acceptance and love for our bodies is not taught to us. Learning the basics of our pleasure anatomy is not offered in our educational systems. This is by design.
