The Truth About Pleasure, Motherhood & Why Women Feel So Disconnected with Kat Nantz
Description
This conversation with somatic pleasure and trauma coach Kat Nantz is one of the most unexpectedly powerful episodes I’ve ever recorded.
When I first invited Kat on the show, I wasn’t totally sure what to expect. Her work sounded intense and deeper than anything we’ve talked about before — and part of me wondered if I was even the right person to hold this conversation.
But once we started talking… everything shifted.
What unfolded was informative, grounding, wholesome, and genuinely transformative.
Not just about sex and pleasure — but about the way so many women move through the world:
• giving everything to everyone else
• living from the neck up
• overriding our needs for years
• disconnecting from our bodies
• forgetting what pleasure even feels like — inside and outside the bedroom
Kat explains why this happens, what it does to our nervous systems, and how pleasure — in the smallest daily moments — can actually bring us back to ourselves in midlife.
We talk about motherhood, resentment, desire, boundaries, shame, perimenopause, and the quiet ways women betray themselves without even realizing it.
It’s validating.
It’s freeing.
It’s perspective-shifting in the best way.
I think you will feel deeply seen in this conversation.
