In this expansive, unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Alison Armstrong to explore the ancient instincts shaping modern relationships, and why so much of what we pathologize in ourselves and each other was never personal to begin with.

We discuss identity, survival, people-pleasing, fear of men, attraction, chemistry, dating, commitment, and why self-blame and worthiness frameworks often increase suffering rather than resolve it.

✨ This conversation is for those who:

• Feel confused by attraction, chemistry, or repeated relational patterns

• Carry resentment, fear, or distrust toward men and don’t know how to release it

• Are tired of self-blame, fixing, or shame-based "healing" narratives

• Want intimacy without self-abandonment

• Are single, dating, partnered, or re-imagining commitment entirely

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Why worthiness and “fixing yourself” often create more suffering, not less

• How survival instincts drive people-pleasing and attraction

• The difference between chemistry that hijacks discernment vs. chemistry that guards you

• Why women fear being hurt while men live with the ever-presence of death

• How resentment toward men is culturally and ancestrally reinforced

• Why trying to get someone to love you erodes intimacy

• What actually creates safety and self-trust in relationships

• How to be single without trying to get rid of being single

What if your sexuality wasn’t something to fix, perform, or achieve, but a sacred life force that could heal childhood wounds, dissolve unconscious patterns, and open you into deeper love, remembrance of your true nature, and altered states of consciousness?

In this intimate, expansive conversation, Nadine is joined by returning guest Rahi Chun to explore how sexual energy and conscious lovemaking can become portals to deep intimacy, liberation, and aliveness.

Rahi Chun is a Certified Somatic Sex Educator & Genital De-Armoring Specialist, as well as a globally recognized practitioner, educator, and speaker at the intersection of somatic healing, sexual wellness, trauma integration, and spiritual embodiment. His fascination with attuning to and serving the body’s innate wisdom & life force is rooted in lived experience, academic rigor, and cross-cultural initiation.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Why sexuality is not a goal-oriented act, but a vehicle for healing, spiritual union, and self-realization

• What extended lovemaking actually is, and how sensitizing ourselves to subtle pleasure changes everything

• How sexual energy meets us exactly where we are in our nervous system and consciousness

• The hidden link between childhood survival strategies and adult intimacy blocks

• Why trying to “get the orgasm” is often the very thing preventing it

• How learning to truly receive rewires not just sex, but money, love, creativity, and life

• The power of one-way touch, choice, and voice in reclaiming desire and agency

• How erotic energy can surface buried childhood wounds and gently metabolize & integrate them

• What to do when long-term partners feel like roommates, and how to reawaken desire without pressure

• Loving your genitals, slowing down, and relating to intimacy as a laboratory of play, discovery, and curiosity
