  1. The Juice of Life: Reclaiming Sexual Energy as Creative Power | Pleasure & Power Recoded

    APR 29

    The Juice of Life: Reclaiming Sexual Energy as Creative Power | Pleasure & Power Recoded

    In this episode of Pleasure & Power Recoded, Lucy and Elizabeth record from a magical riverside clearing in Scotland, surrounded by sunlight, mossy grass, flowing water and the wild beauty of nature. Together, they explore sexual energy not as something purely physical, but as life force, creative power and the “juice” that makes life feel vivid, delicious and fully alive. Through stories of ripe fruit, classical music, tomato plants, art, embodiment, shame, religion, power, politics and personal transformation, they open up a rich conversation about what happens when we become disconnected from our own natural energy, and what becomes possible when we gently reclaim it. This is a grounded, soulful conversation about pleasure as presence, power as embodiment, and a tantric way of being in the world: one that invites us to feel more deeply, live more honestly, open with discernment, and allow our creative life force to move through every part of our lives. Lucy and Elizabeth also touch on Daoist ideas of essence, energy and spirit, exploring how simple embodiment practices, presence, sensation and self-trust can help us reconnect with our aliveness in a way that feels safe, natural and real. They also speak about shame, safety, self-trust, ageing, midlife power, feminine energy, masculine energy, and the importance of coming back into the body through simple sensory practices: feeling the grass, tasting food, walking in nature, breathing, touching, noticing and receiving. This episode is an invitation to stop living like a tasteless supermarket tomato and begin reconnecting with the wild, sun-warmed, fully embodied aliveness that has always been within you.

  2. From Self-Doubt to Turn-On: Rewiring the Nervous System for Pleasure | Pleasure & Power Recoded Episode 9

    From Self-Doubt to Turn-On: Rewiring the Nervous System for Pleasure | Pleasure & Power Recoded Episode 9

    In this intimate, fireside episode of *Pleasure & Power Recoded*, Lucy Hutchings Hunt interviews Elizabeth Gilmour about what it *really* took to reclaim her sensuality, sexuality, and life force in midlife. Liz shares how she moved from living in her head (achievement, perfectionism, fear, self-doubt) to living in her body, where pleasure becomes presence, power, and spiritual connection. Together, Lucy and Liz explore why “just think positive” doesn’t work when your nervous system feels unsafe, and why learning to meet emotion (instead of suppressing it) is the doorway back to joy, desire, and aliveness. Liz speaks candidly about leaving a high-achieving legal career path as a corporate solicitor, confronting shame and shadow patterns, the catalyst of divorce, and the somatic practices that helped her shift out of overwhelm and into clarity, confidence, and turn-on. You’ll also hear simple frameworks you can use in real life, including her “reverse → neutral → forward” method for emotional states and decision-making, and a powerful process for moving stuck energy through the body (anger → sadness → turn-on). This episode is for you if you want more freedom in your body, more truth in your relationships, and a grounded way to transform emotional intensity into pleasure, self-trust, and momentum. **Let’s stay connected:** If this episode stirred something in you, we’d love to meet you.

  3. Pleasure & Power Recoded | Embodied Sensuality: Pleasure, Spirit & Self-Sourced Power

    JAN 21

    Pleasure & Power Recoded | Embodied Sensuality: Pleasure, Spirit & Self-Sourced Power

    In this intimate and expansive episode of Pleasure & Power Recoded, Lucy Hutchings Hunt and Elizabeth Gilmour explore what it truly means to reclaim sensuality, sexuality, and life force after leaving marriage and long-held conditioning behind. Lucy shares her deeply personal journey of healing shame, disordered eating, and inherited narratives about women’s bodies, sex, and worth. Together, Lucy and Liz unpack embodiment not as performance or appearance, but as presence, aliveness, and a lived connection to the body as sacred. Drawing on a tantric way of being, they explore sexuality as energy, devotion, and conscious connection, rather than something rushed, transactional, or goal-driven. This conversation reframes sex and sensuality as a slow, intentional, soul-infused experience, where pleasure is self-sourced, the nervous system feels safe, and spirit is allowed to flow through the body. They reflect on how living in this turned-on state dramatically transforms relationships, creativity, confidence, and power. This episode is an invitation to soften, expand, and remember that pleasure is not something to earn. It is a birthright, and a way of living.

    Pleasure & Power Recoded | When the Dark Night Becomes the Doorway to Your Mission

    In this episode of Pleasure & Power Recoded, Lucy and Liz explore what it really means to live with 'mission' at the core of your very being: that deep inner sense that you are here to do something bigger, even if the details are still blurred. Through honest stories of dark nights of the soul, addiction, depression, career changes, divorce, money fears and spiritual awakening, they show how pain can be alchemised into purpose. They talk about why you must learn to lead yourself before you can genuinely lead others, and how the right coach–client relationship is a kind of energetic chemistry rather than a top down guru model. They unpack the shift from chasing external validation, status and credentials to becoming self sourced, rooted in your own connection to the divine. The conversation also touches on how AI and tech are stripping away bureaucracy so we can go deeper into spiritual and creative work, why no part of the journey is truly a mistake, and how judgment of others is often a mirror of self judgment. At its heart, this episode is an invitation to trust your inner call, soften towards yourself, and allow pleasure, purpose and embodied power to guide the way.

    All Humans Are Inherently Good | Pleasure & Power Recoded Episode 4

    Episode 4: We Are Inherently Good — Reclaiming Power Through Self-Compassion** In this powerful and soul-searching episode of Pleasure & Power Recoded, co-hosts Lucy Hutchings Hunt and Elizabeth Gilmore unpack the deeply ingrained belief that humans are inherently bad — a narrative long perpetuated by religious, societal, and cultural conditioning. Together, they challenge this distortion by affirming the truth of our innate goodness, and explore how shame and judgment — especially self-judgment — often manifest as judgment of others. Through intimate stories, vulnerable reflection, and energetic truths, Lucy and Elizabeth dive into themes of spiritual evolution, emotional projection, co-parenting dynamics, and the alchemy of turning pain into power. They reflect on moments of judgment, healing from divorce, navigating political and social triggers, and the energetic shifts that occur when we stop trying to fix others and begin meeting our own wounds with love. This episode is an invitation to soften — to look at ourselves and others through the lens of compassion, and to reclaim our power by remembering who we truly are: divine, creative, and inherently good. ✨ *Highlights include:* * How unconscious self-judgment drives criticism of others * Reframing conflict through energy shifts and emotional ownership * Personal stories of transformation through compassion and softening * The myth of the “sinner” and reclaiming spiritual truth beyond religious dogma * Recognising and healing the people-pleaser pattern * How changing our own energy can miraculously shift relationships and realities This episode is for you if: * You’re doing shadow work or healing from shame * You’ve been navigating relationship triggers, co-parenting, or personal boundaries * You’re exploring spiritual truth beyond religious constructs * You want to understand how to use your own energy as a powerful tool for change Listen now and step into the soft, glowing power of embodied compassion.

    Your Dream Life Won't Look Like You Thought It Would | Pleasure & Power Recoded - Episode 3

    In this episode, Liz and Lucy reflect on their past definitions of success—definitions shaped by societal expectations, external validation, and achievement. They explore how these old narratives influenced their life choices, careers, and sense of self-worth. Both speak vulnerably about periods in their lives when, on paper, things looked “successful,” yet inwardly they felt deeply disconnected—from themselves, from joy, and from any real sense of freedom. It was this inner disconnection that led to emotional pain and ultimately became the catalyst for spiritual reconnection. Together, they reflect on how, even though their current lives look very different from what they once imagined “success” would be, they feel more alive, grounded, and fulfilled than ever before. Their dream lives didn’t unfold how they thought they would—but they turned out to be even more beautiful, real, and connected.

    Certainty Beyond Logic | Pleasure & Power Recoded Episode 2

    Certainty Beyond Logic - REAL power begins where logic ends. In Episode 2 of Pleasure & Power Recoded, Lucy Hutchings-Hunt and Elizabeth Gilmour dive into the soul-deep principle of certainty beyond logic—that unwavering inner trust in something greater, even when the path ahead makes no sense. Through the lens of their personal lives, they explore how this trust plays out in wildly different arenas: Lucy opens up about her experiences with dating and romantic relationships—the triggers, the projections, and the deep lessons of surrender. Elizabeth reflects on her journey with purpose and business—how trying to “figure it all out” killed her flow, and how coming back to trust reconnected her with her deeper mission. This conversation is raw, real, and powerfully human. It’s not about having it all together—it’s about learning to trust yourself again and again. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your joy, doubted your path, or craved something more aligned and true—this episode is your invitation to come home to yourself.

    Pleasure & Power Recoded - Welcome Episode 1

    What if everything we have been taught about pleasure & power is a distortion of the truth? In this electric first episode, Lucy Hutchings Hunt and Elizabeth Gilmour dive deep into the liberation that comes when we recode what it means to embody true power—rooted not in domination, fear, or control, but in sovereignty, divine connection, and embodied pleasure. They explore: Why pleasure is not a distraction, but a gateway to your deepest wisdom. How both women and men have been conditioned to suppress their innate power. The hidden ways patriarchy (and even toxic matriarchy) play out in modern life. Why real revolution starts in the body—and why reclaiming your joy, your voice, and your desires is a radical act. This isn’t just a conversation. This is a belief shifting transmission! If this episode resonates with you, we’d love for you to share it with someone who might benefit from it too. Your support helps us reach more people and continue offering honest, grounded conversations about stepping into self-leadership and power through the lens of pleasure. Want to stay connected?
