Radical Self Love and the Power of Sisterhood with Natty Frasca

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 agencyHow to know when “having it all” isn’t enough: whether it’s a health crisis, career shakeup, or finally naming what you wantSaying no, drawing boundaries, and giving up the performance of being the good girl, perfect wife, or supermomRedesigning relationships: how truth-telling (even when it feels scary or shameful) can be the beginning of deep intimacy, not the endWhy pleasure isn’t just a reward but an essential power sourceThe magic of midlife community: the necessity of surrounding yourself with women who see, support, and challenge youLiving with radical agency: trusting yourself to choose your work, your relationships, your body, your joy unapologeticallyOUR GUEST: Natty Frasca is a pleasure coach, rebel rouser, and the founder of The Feminine Rebellion.

Regenopause and Sex Magic: Crone Wisdom with Melissa Louise

“Your birthright is pleasure.”What if everything you’ve been taught about aging, sexuality, and womanhood is not only outdated, but completely wrong?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 powerHow pleasure operates as a life force that fuels creativity, manifestation, and even financial abundanceHow society’s 24-hour sun cycle depletes women, and what it means to reconnect with the lunar rhythms of the female bodyThe difference between love and monogamy, and why relationship structures are due for a radical rethinkWhy older women have historically been the wisdom keepers, and how we can reclaim our place as guides, leaders, and culture-shapersPractical ways to bring more pleasure, freedom, and play into everyday life no matter your age, relationship status, or beliefs about midlifeOUR 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.Want more Melissa?
