Unfiltered: Sex, Mental Health, and Modern Love

Unfiltered: Sex, Mental Health, and Modern Love

What if better mental health, deeper relationships, and a more empowered sex life all started with the conversations we’re not having?

In this raw and refreshingly honest episode, psychotherapist, speaker, and educator Rachel Wright joins Leann to unpack the often-messy, always-human intersections of sex, relationships, and mental health.

Rachel is a licensed psychotherapist, nationally recognized speaker, educator, and a powerhouse who has been featured in The New York Times, Women’s Health, and Cosmopolitan. With thousands of clinical hours behind her, she’s on a mission to replace shame with self-awareness and confusion with clarity.

We discussed:

☑️Why Rachel chose to specialize in sex, relationships, and mental health.

☑️Importance of having these "conversations" with doctors, therapists, etc.

☑️Green flags when finding the "right" therapist for you.

☑️Advocating for yourself.

☑️Myths we all need to “unlearn” about sex and relationships.

☑️The patterns she sees most often in modern dating, fueled by apps and social media.

☑️Effective communication skills, and lifetime learning.

☑️Alternative healing modalities - knowledge, education, and referrals, and finding what works for you.

☑️How pleasure and mental health are connected—and why therapy often overlooks it.

☑️The role of role-play in building stronger relationships and communication.

☑️How blending education, humor, and play makes healing and teaching more effective.

☑️Practical mindset shifts and practices to feel more empowered in love, sex, and life.

This conversation is bold, funny, and deeply validating—reminding us that healing, intimacy, and empowerment begin with honest dialogue.
