What a jar of Vegenaise taught me about intimacy, disappearance, and remembering my worth

If you’ve followed my previous podcast (Sexplicit), you’ll notice a shift — in tone, in depth, in direction. This isn’t a new beginning, but a deepening.

In this first season I’ll be reading some of my own writings — essays and reflections that, to my surprise, have resonated deeply with so many people. I first shared them as blog posts and was gobsmacked by the messages I received — stories, confessions, thank-yous — from people who felt seen in ways they hadn’t expected.

So I wanted to bring those pieces to life in audio form as well— for those of you who prefer to listen rather than read, and for those who want to feel the rhythm and breath behind the words.

In these essays, I write both as a sexologist and as a human. Sometimes I share my own experiences — with love, loss, sex, and intimacy. Other times, I draw from my clients’ stories and the insights that have shaped my work.

As one reader put it so perfectly — “They’re meant to be felt, not necessarily understood.”
