Episode 8: Can You Heal Through an Affair? A Raw Talk on Desire, Secrecy & Self-Reclamation

This one’s tender, taboo, and deeply human.

In today’s conversation, Jo shares her personal experience of engaging in an emotional affair during the slow breakdown of her marriage - and how it unexpectedly became a gateway to healing, desire, and self-remembrance.

Together, Sarah and Jo explore the messy, honest truths about intimacy, secrecy, and the power of feeling deeply desired - especially when you've spent years disconnected from your own needs and pleasure.

We dive into:

• Can an affair ever be healing?

• The difference between emotional and physical affairs

• How secrecy divides us and drains energy

• Shame, morality, and the internal tug-of-war many women experience

• Reclaiming your sensual self after years of neglect

• What it really means to feel worshipped vs just wanted

• The importance of safe, judgment-free spaces to process your truth

This is a vulnerable, layered conversation about the hidden parts of ourselves - the ones we often keep in the dark because of fear, conditioning, or shame.
But when we shine a light there, healing becomes possible.

Because your mess doesn’t make you broken - it makes you real.

Episode 7: Bare Minimum or Princess Treatment? Modern Dating Expectations Unpacked

What’s the difference between basic respect and true romance? In this episode, Sarah and Jo dive into the viral “bare minimum vs princess treatment” trend — and it sparks a juicy, honest conversation about what we actually deserve in dating and relationships.

They unpack which behaviours are non-negotiables (hint: replying to a text isn’t princess treatment), what acts feel deeply romantic, and how communication and personal standards play a huge role in emotional safety. From birthday texts and coffee orders to surprise flowers and love notes, this chat is full of laughs, real talk, and reminders to wear your crown with pride.

Whether you're single, dating, or deep in relationship, this one will have you reflecting on what your bare minimum really is... and where you might be settling.

Description:
In this raw and relatable episode, Sarah and Jo dive deep into the emotional labour women take on in relationships- especially when it comes to overgiving, people-pleasing, and hoping that love will be enough to secure commitment.

Jo opens up about her experience with nesting post-divorce, navigating blended family dynamics, and the unspoken emotional toll of waiting for the relationship to “catch up” to her heart’s desires.

Sarah shares a powerful story of going all-in with a man she was dating… only to find that no amount of effort could make it right.

Together, they unpack the conditioning that tells women to earn love through overfunctioning, the grief of feeling like you’re still not enough, and the radical choice to be your full self... unapologetically.

This one is for every woman who’s ever asked herself, “Why wasn’t I enough when I gave everything?”
