EP 14: Pleasure, Shame, and Feeling Empowered in Your Own Sexuality w/ Simone Farschi
Meant For ThisShow Notes
Okkkk, ladies AND gentlemen. This one’s for everyone. This is the conversation I truly believe so many women are craving. A craving to understand ourselves and our connection to our body in a deeper and more intimate way, a craving to feel more connected to our own wants and desires, to feel safe and allowed to speak up, to use our voice, to openly express what we like, what we don’t like and to stop feeling shame for being the sexual beings that we are. Simone Farschi in on the podcast this week. And wow, Simone is a special woman. She is a sex educator, healer, intimacy coach, sexological body worker, trained doula, somatic practitioner, peristeam hydrotherapist, public speaker and mother. Her mission is to elevate relationships, demystify pleasure, and empower people in their sexuality. If you’ve ever felt shame around sex and sexuality, confusion or unaware of your own body, unable to voice your desires around pleasure or carried any sort of blocks that keep you from living a truly fulfilled life…. this is FOR YOU. And send this one to your partners. Men, this is just as important for you to hear too. Really hope you enjoy this one❤️

In this conversation, Taylor and I explore the shame many men carry around their sexuality, desires, and emotional world—and how that shame quietly shapes the way they show up in relationships and within themselves. We talk about where this shame comes from, why so many men suppress parts of who they are, and what becomes possible when they finally begin to face those parts with honesty instead of judgment. I hope this conversation offers a perspective that challenges assumptions and maybe helps you see yourself—or someone you love—a little differently.
Sigrid Tasies and I sat down in Austin to talk about the armor we learn to wear as women, the versions of ourselves we keep performing, and what happens when we can’t keep doing it anymore.
In this episode, Taylor and I sit down for an unfiltered Q&A exploring the questions we get asked most often. We talk about desire, fear, relationships, self-trust, regret, and the choices that change the course of our lives. From why men are afraid of their desires to what it actually costs to choose yourself, we share our own experiences, perspectives, and the lessons we've learned along the way.
Why does it feel like men and women are speaking completely different languages in relationships?
Emily and I first met 20 years ago when she began dating a childhood friend of mine. Since then, it feels like many lifetimes have passed—filled with change, growth, and profound transition—as she navigated life after her husband (and my childhood friend) passed.
