Most of us were never actually taught how to understand our own sexuality. In this episode, we’re joined by Tash Doherty, author and sexuality advocate behind Misseducated, to talk about what it really means to become shamelessly sexy. We get into unlearning bad sex education, reconnecting with desire, and why curiosity, reflection, and self-knowledge are foundational to confidence and pleasure.

We Cover:

How shame disconnects us from desire. Why feeling awkward, guilty, or “behind” is incredibly common and not a personal failure.
What it actually means to be shamelessly sexy. Moving beyond performative confidence and into self-trust, curiosity, and ownership.
The role of self-reflection in sexual confidence. Why understanding your own patterns, turn-ons, and boundaries changes everything.
How journaling can transform your relationship with sex. Tash shares how intentional reflection helps women access desire, clarity, and agency.
Why desire changes and how to work with it. Normalizing libido shifts and learning to stay connected to pleasure across life stages.
How to build a healthier relationship with your body. Tools for getting out of comparison and back into embodied experience.
Creating space for pleasure without pressure. Why slowing down and listening to yourself is more effective than “trying harder.”
What women actually need more of in sex education. And why access to better tools leads to better relationships, communication, and confidence.
