BEHIND THE POD

a love letter from Nadège

Dear listener,

Over 10 years ago I became a sex scholar because I didn't like sex.

Intimacy felt painful or it made me anxious - which quickly created an unbearable life. I wanted to experience pleasure, connection, and orgasm. So I studied everything I could: psychology, history, and science all through the lens of sex.

Today, I'm passionate about sharing this knowledge because it changed my life. I realized that the key to enjoying sex boiled down to three things. I enjoyed sex once I knew how to relax. I felt safe with sex when I knew all the facts. And I felt sexually empowered when I normalized talking about sex.

This podcast was created to help you find your version of sexual empowerment. In order to help you do that, I'm going to pass on everything I know to you. I don't know what small tidbit of information will be the key to changing your life, but I know that by sharing this information sex positivity will find it's way to you.

So, enjoy these episodes filled with spicy knowledge and experts in my industry who can transform your future. I hope this podcast leaves you with hope, intelligence, and an open heart.

Big hugs,

Nadège
