Welcome back to another episode of the Owning Your Self podcast! I am so excited to have Molly Eames back on the show. Every time we sit down together the conversation ends up going somewhere deeper than I expect, and this one really did that for me. Molly brings such a light and presence to this work, and you can feel that she lives what she teaches. I have a feeling a lot of you are going to hear parts of yourself in this one.

In this episode:

• How the nervous system communicates through sensation
• Connecting chronic physical symptoms to nervous system patterns
• Practicing orienting to signal safety to the body
• Reframing triggers as information instead of problems
• Approaching self pleasure without goals or performance
• Expanding pleasure into everyday experiences
• Using voice and sound to support regulation

Welcome back to the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast! I'm genuinely so excited for you to meet today’s guest, Elana Auerbach! Elana is an author, mentor, activist, and someone who truly lives the work she shares. Her journey into pleasure didn’t come from theory or trends but from real life experience, curiosity, and a willingness to try something different in her own relationship and body. We talk about what happens when you stop waiting for the spark and start choosing it, and why taking ownership of your pleasure can shift so much more than just your sex life.

In this episode:

• The impact a weekly pleasure practice can make in your life
• Why pleasure affects creativity, confidence, and energy outside the bedroom
• What it means to take 100% responsibility for your pleasure
• Learning to ask “what do I want?” and building that muscle
• How to start small with simple daily pleasure moments
• Shame and how it disconnects us from our bodies
• Bringing curiosity and compassion to resistance and inconsistency
• How tending to different parts of yourself changes intimacy

This week I’m joined by the one and only JoJo Seamons! JoJo is an intimacy and embodiment coach who truly lives at the intersection of spirituality, sexuality, and rebellion. She brings a grounded, heart led approach to kink, consent, and connection, blending practices like shibari, nervous system awareness, and conscious communication in a way that feels both expansive and deeply safe. This conversation is honest, juicy, tender, and full of permission to get curious about the full spectrum of intimacy.

In this episode:

• Exploring intimacy through curiosity instead of performance
• Why consent is ongoing and can change moment to moment
• The role of nervous system safety in intimacy and desire
• How communication builds trust in both kinky and non kinky spaces
• What enthusiastic consent actually looks like in practice
• An introduction to shibari beyond stereotypes
• The emotional and energetic experiences that can arise in shibari
• How rope can deepen connection without being sexual
• An invitation to approach desire with curiosity and openness
