In this episode, I sit down with Susan Bratton, the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” for a powerful conversation on grief, pleasure, sexual liberation, and lifelong vitality. We begin with how to hold rage and overwhelm without losing access to joy, and expand into how pleasure regulates the nervous system and restores power. Susan shares her work on ageless sexuality, orgasmic expansion, desire in long-term relationships, and why generosity — not performance — is the key to reigniting intimacy. We explore entheogens, radical honesty, and the idea that sexual literacy is a deeply agentic act in a culture shaped by repression.
An uncensored conversation on pleasure as medicine, erotic agency, and the regenerative power of intimacy.
