  • Challenging Consent Narratives with (and of) Mia Schacter

    Challenging Consent Narratives with (and of) Mia Schacter
    Dec 31 2025

    In this very different -- and very difficult -- episode, DB sits down with Mia Schachter of Consent Wizardry to talk all about consent. But what DB gets is not what she expected.

    Please note that this episode contains difficult and potentially triggering conversations around consent. This episode touches on discussions and experiences of consent violations, as well as a perspective that might trigger feelings or memories of victim blaming for some listeners.

    Be sure to listen through the Pleasure Preview and Afterglow of this episode, where DB talks about her perspectives on consent and this conversation, as well as giving some vital resources.

    Please do not seek out our guest from this episode for any form of harassment or criticism based on this episode or on behalf of Sex Ed with DB. Online or not, harassment, bullying, and dogpiling are never okay, and we don't condone it. This episode is an invitation for discussion and internalization -- not an invitation to discredit, disparage, or defame anyone involved.

    Can You Imagine Having the Tools to Easily Rewrite Your Relationship with Intimacy and Create a More Fulfilling (and Juicier) Life?

    Join us on this episode of Shameless Sex, where we dive into the world of Intimacy Rewired. Not only will you learn about this online course that will transform your relationships and life, but you will also walk away with a few life changing tools to apply in your own life. Amy Baldwin and Ian Stratton are the masterminds behind this groundbreaking program, and they're here to share more about this program, alongside guests such as Dr. Nazanin Moali, Keeley Rankin, MA, Dr. Charlie Glickman, Sarah Tomchessen, and more.

    Here's what you can expect from this episode:
    • The whys and how-to's on easy tools for sexual and romantic healing that will last and actually change your life
    • A personal and intimate conversation with Amy and Ian about their journey to creating Intimacy Rewired and why they think healing doesn't always have to be hard (or unpleasant)
    • A deep dive into the course's unique approach to transforming intimacy, including how to break free from patterns that hold you back
    • A live demo (on April!) of their approach, using a real-life communication snag as an example
    • Insights into how the course can help you build a stronger, more resilient sense of self and create lasting change

    Ian Stratton, a lifelong healing nerd, has spent thousands of hours leading deep work with individuals and groups, blending Internal Family Systems, somatic psychotherapy, breathwork, and ethical psychedelic practice. His goal? To make personal growth real, practical, and accessible.

    Amy Baldwin brings her own brand of obsession to the table, and together, they've created a program that's simple, fun, and accessible. With a focus on active learning and integration, Intimacy Rewired is not just a course – it's a journey of transformation.

    So, what sets Intimacy Rewired apart from other courses and workshops? According to Ian and Amy, it's the combination of simple practices, habits, and actionable steps that make it stick. They'll share their approach, and you'll get a taste of what it's like to work with them.

    Ready to transform your intimacy and create a more fulfilling life? Shameless Sex listeners get $100 off the course – just head to ⁠https://intimacyrewired.com ⁠and mention the show.
