We’re kicking off 2026, the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, with an invitation into movement, change, courage, and aliveness. Intimacy, like life itself, is always changing. Our bodies, desires, relationships, nervous systems, and erotic lives are constantly evolving, and this conversation is about learning how to ride those waves rather than resist them. I’m joined by Trauma-informed, Sexuality Coach Megan Millington, whose work in erotic re-patterning is helping women and men reclaim pleasure, safety, and deep intimacy from the inside out. Together, we explore why so many women experience low libido, numbness, disconnection, or shame and what lies underneath those layers. We talk about how early experiences, trauma, stress, motherhood, religious conditioning, medicalised sexuality, and cultural myths all shape our understanding of desire. And Megan shares her own journey from believing she was broken, even asexual, to discovering that her body was simply protecting itself. At the heart of this conversation is a powerful truth: desire returns when safety is restored. We explore: Why low libido is often a nervous system response, not a diagnosis How emotional, somatic, spiritual, and energetic safety impact arousal and orgasm The myth of performative, intercourse-based sex and the orgasm gap Why pleasure is not frivolous but a powerful technology for healing and regulation How intimacy can be woven into everyday life, even during exhaustion, parenting, grief, or change Why you're not broken and how your body is deeply intelligent This episode invites you to question the sexual narratives you’ve inherited, and begin rebuilding intimacy in a way that honours your body’s timing, wisdom, and truth.","meta_description":"Welcome to Season Two of The Ecology of Intimacy.
