In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re exploring a truth most women were never taught — that pleasure is not frivolous, it’s physiological. My guest, Carla Wainwright, somatic sex educator and priestess of embodied awakening, joins me for a profound conversation about how pleasure rewires the nervous system, restores hormonal balance, and opens the gateway to vibrant midlife health.

We’ll explore:

✨ How stress, shame, and societal conditioning disconnect us from our pleasure body

🌿 The hormonal and energetic link between pleasure, vitality, and longevity

🔥 Why midlife is the perfect time to rewrite your relationship with your body

🌕 Simple, embodied practices to invite pleasure as medicine into daily life

This conversation isn’t about indulgence — it’s about reconnection, reclamation, and remembering the wisdom of your body.

What if productivity wasn’t about pushing harder, but about flowing with your body’s natural rhythms?

In this episode of The Reproductive Rebel Podcast, I sit down with Anna Hall of Embody Space to challenge the toxic hustle myth and explore what it means to live and work cyclically.

Anna shares how cycle-aligned planning allows you to tap into your natural energy, creativity, and rest phases without guilt. We explore:

✨ What cyclical living really looks like (beyond just tracking your bleed)

✨ How to plan your work and life in harmony with your cycle phases

✨ Why hustle culture is deeply rooted in patriarchal systems — and how breaking free changes everything

✨ Practical ways to start embodying cyclical rhythms in daily work, relationships, and creativity

This conversation is an invitation to remember: your body is not a machine. It’s a rhythm, a pulse, a wave. And when you align with it, you reclaim time, balance, and joy.
