What if everything you were taught about your sexuality was wrong, and what if the shame you've been carrying isn't yours to keep? In this episode, we sit down with Julia Casillas, sex coach for midlife women and couples, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about why so many women feel broken, disconnected, and like it's "too late" for them, and what it actually looks like to come back to yourself. Julia shares her winding, fascinating path to this work, from a polarized upbringing with mixed messages about sex, to exotic dancing, energy healing, dominatrix training, and ultimately becoming a certified sex coach. And she makes a compelling case that the way back to joy, creativity, and aliveness isn't as complicated (or as scary) as it sounds. Whether you're kink-curious, feeling numb, or just sense that something is missing, this conversation is for you. Julia is a Certified Kink Informed Sex Coach through AASECT Approved Sexual Health Alliance. She is your guide to help you unleash your innate power through radical truth-telling, especially the uncomfortable, messy, and fierce truths society has taught you to silence. Through our work, you can reclaim your sexuality and break free from the ‘good girl’ and ‘bad girl’ masks to discover what you truly desire. Drawing from her own journey of sexual healing and awakening, Julia creates a space where you can learn that your most powerful truth might be a whispered ‘yes,’ a bold ‘no,’ or an unapologetic ‘F you.’ Her mission is to help you shed sexual shame, reclaim your right to pleasure in and out of the bedroom and help you discover that your authentic power flows not from playing by the rules, but from honoring your deepest truths.
