This week’s episode is extra special—it’s the recording of a live stream where I got to connect with so many of you in real time! Along with sharing a love letter to the iconic Nikki Giovanni (she’s a whole vibe, y’all), we answered your viewer questions on the spot. I’m also sharing some exciting upcoming wellness events you won’t want to miss and answering your burning listener questions:

What we covered:

• How do you give good gifts in relationships without stressing?
• What’s intimacy when it’s not about sex? (Spoiler: It’s deeper than you think.)
• Setting financial boundaries without killing the romance.
• And, oh yes, navigating those complicated, spicy desires with your partner.

This episode is all about communication, connection, and making room for the real magic in relationships.

Grab your tea, settle in, and let’s get into it!

I’m sitting down with Lorena Rodriguez Banda, the powerhouse behind The PFILES, and we’re getting into it about sex, pleasure, and breaking those tired generational cycles that keep us silent. Lorena’s story is so relatable—strict upbringing, endless rules, and no real conversations about owning your body or finding your joy. But she flipped the script, and now she’s out here empowering women of color to do the same.

We’re talking about the things that really matter—how we can own our sexual health, why BIPOC communities carry so much shame, and how to let go of all that noise to find freedom. Lorena also breaks down the connection between sexual wellness, politics, and cultural pride. Trust me, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed!

Here’s what we’re breaking down: ✨ How growing up with strict parents shaped her views on sex (and how she unlearned the BS) ✨ Why so many Latinas and Black women are left out of the convo about pleasure ✨ The power of saying, “Hell no!” to shame and stepping into your truth ✨ The mission behind The PFILES and why it’s all about women of color taking up space ✨ How sex toys aren’t just a vibe—they’re a way to take control of your pleasure ✨ The lies we’ve been fed about sexual health in our communities—and how to shut them down ✨ What voter education has to do with reproductive rights and sexual wellness And so much more...

Major Keys You’ll Walk Away With:

• Strict households might’ve shaped us, but they don’t define us.
• Pleasure is your right—not a luxury.
• Education can break cycles and open doors (and legs—let’s keep it real, lol).
• Sex toys and sexual wellness deserve a spot at the table. Period.
• You don’t need anyone’s permission to love yourself or prioritize your joy.
