Some of my favorite quotes from this episode: "Where there's horniness, there's healing..." & "Vulnerability is the gateway to intimacy."
Justin Gottlieb, a sexual freedom coach and tantric facilitator, joins this week for a deep dive into fantasies, tantra, and sexual liberation.
We explore...
- What is Tantra, really? Justin’s take, why it’s not just about sex, and how to apply to everyday life
- Healing through desire: How fantasies can open deeper pathways of self-understanding & unlock deeper intimacy, connection, and healing
- The role of vulnerability and why it deepens connection
- Why fantasies aren't random, what they may reveal, & what is possible by exploring them
- The difference between keeping fantasies in the mind vs. exploring them in reality
- How to talk about fantasies with your partner without blame or shame
- Why all events are emotionally neutral, until we assign meaning
- Why jealousy is an invitation instead of an enemy & embracing the full spectrum of emotions
- The truth about taboo fantasies
- Creating a safe space for exploration & fantasy fulfillment
- Justin’s formula for a fully-lived life: Healing → Exploration → Mastery
Whether you're tantra-curious, exploring your edges, or simply love honest conversations about desire, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and maybe a little turned on. 😉

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
