You’ve got the candles lit, the laundry folded, and maybe even the lube nearby… So why does sex still feel like something you’re performing instead of something you’re enjoying?

In this unfiltered, juicy AF episode, I take you on a real-talk car ride (yep, nips freezing and all) to unpack the truth most women never get taught:

If you’re obsessing over your angles, your sounds, or whether you’re “doing it right”—you’re not broken. You’re conditioned.

We dive into:

  • The link between performance-based love and your bedroom confidence
  • What childhood praise (or the lack of it) has to do with your moaning habits
  • Why so many high-achieving women over-function in the bedroom just like they do in business
  • The anxious spiral when he skips a “good morning” text—and how that’s your attachment style talking
  • How to spot (and stop) performance sex patterns before they wreck your pleasure

Whether you’re the “praise me or I panic” type, or just sick of overthinking sex like it’s a bloody KPI, this episode will help you pause, unpack, and actually start to enjoy intimacy again.

It's cheeky. It’s vulnerable. And it might just be your bedroom breakthrough.
