    Episode 58: Is Sex Salad or Donuts?

    Salad. Donuts. Or... the whole buffet? Marcella is back with her favorite co-conspirator Ashlyn (@this.isashlynn) for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, healing, and long overdue. They were both raised in the Mormon church — where sex was sacred, self-pleasure was a confessional offense, and your body was something to be managed, not enjoyed. So now that they're out? They've had to completely rebuild their relationship with one of the most natural things in the world. The question on the table: is sex like salad — nourishing, wholesome, good for you — or is it like a donut — indulgent, a little naughty, and something you still kind of feel guilty about after? Spoiler: it's neither. It's both. It's the entire buffet. They get into the programming that never fully goes away, the weird guilt that shows up even when you know better, and what it actually looks like to reclaim pleasure when you were taught it wasn't yours to have in the first place. It's raw, it's funny, and it's the kind of conversation that will make you feel a lot less alone. Pull up a plate. This one's a full spread. We give you full permission to indulge in the full buffet of self pleasure! Go check out our favorite intimacy toys made just for WOMAN like us!!!

    Episode 57: Nothing Matters and We are Thriving

    Buckle up, we've got two Ex Mormon midlife women sharing how they went from everything matters to NOTHING matters! Marcella is joined by her friend and partner-in-chaos Ashlyn (@this.isashlyn) to talk about something they've both been sitting with for a while: the idea that nothing matters — and why that belief might actually be the most grounding, most freeing, most feeling thing either of them has ever encountered. As two women who grew up in the Mormon church, they were wired from the beginning to believe that everything mattered — eternally. Every decision carried cosmic weight. Fast forward to now, and a few meaningful experiences with psychedelics have completely rewired how they move through the world. This episode is equal parts hilarious and profound. They talk about the moments that cracked them open, why "nothing matters" doesn't mean you stop caring or stop feeling — it actually means the opposite — and what it looks like to live a life where you're not performing for an outcome, you're just actually here. If you've ever felt the relief of letting something go that was never really yours to carry, this one's for you. Looking for Ketamine Therapy?

    Episode 56: Shaving, Church, and Mother's Day: Questioning Everything

    What if Mother's Day isn't actually for mothers? Marcella Hill and her sister Sharon Johnson are back — and they're blowing up one of the most "sacred" days of the year. Spoiler: the way we celebrate Mother's Day has almost nothing to do with what it was originally intended for. And once you learn that, you can't unsee it. But they don't stop there. This episode is a full-on audit of the things women do simply because society said so — how we dress, whether we shave, how we decide what's "right" and "wrong," and who actually gets to make those rules. Marcella and Sharon get personal about how their thinking has completely shifted since leaving the Mormon faith, and what it means to finally ask the question nobody raised them to ask: Why am I doing this — and is it actually for me? If you've ever followed a tradition, a rule, or a beauty standard on autopilot, this episode is going to hit. Hard.

    Episode 55: The Bedroom Gap with Dr. Mariah Sophocles

    Why are so many women feeling disconnected—from their partners, their desire, and even themselves? In this powerful episode of the Wake Her Up Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Mariah Sophocles, gynecologist and author of The Bedroom Gap, to talk about a topic that so many women experience but few openly discuss: the growing disconnect in intimacy during midlife and long-term relationships. We dive into the real reasons this “bedroom gap” is happening and why it’s not just about libido. Dr. Sophocles shares the physical, emotional, and relational factors that impact desire, connection, and confidence for women—especially in midlife. In this conversation, we explore:• Why so many women feel disconnected from intimacy• The surprising biological and emotional contributors to the “bedroom gap”• How communication, curiosity, and self-awareness can rebuild connection• Why this conversation is so important for women in midlife This episode is honest, eye-opening, and incredibly validating for any woman who has ever wondered, “Is it just me?” 📖 Get Dr. Sophocles’ book The Bedroom Gap:https://a.co/d/06TlKlQb 💬 Join the Wake Her Up free community of 60,000+ women having real conversations about midlife:https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18L58RHEVk/ 🔥For the fun TOYS we talked about, shop at Oboo.love https://oboo.love/discount/WAKEHERUP If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend and continue the conversation inside our community.

    Episode 54: From Betrayal to Wholeness with Jessica Frew

    In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Frew, life coach, author, and bold decision maker, to talk about her remarkable journey through betrayal, healing, and self-rediscovery. Jessica shares the deeply personal story of her first marriage and the life-altering discovery that her husband was gay and had an affair with a man. Instead of allowing the experience to break her, she chose a path of compassion, growth, and radical acceptance. Today, they are close friends and co-parents, offering a powerful example of what healing and emotional maturity can look like. Through her journey, Jessica came to a profound realization: other people do not complete us. We become whole by reconnecting with ourselves. She opens up about releasing expectations, trusting her inner voice, and rebuilding her sense of identity and self-worth. Now, she helps other women do the same by guiding them through betrayal, divorce, and major life transitions. Jessica is also the author of Shove Your Shoulds, a transformative book about letting go of external pressures and making courageous decisions. You can download the book for free on her website.

    Episode 53: Leaving Mormonism Part 2

    Leaving Mormonism, Part 2: Marriage, Motherhood, and Reclaiming Our Bodies In Part 2 of our conversation on leaving Mormonism, I’m joined again by my sister, Sharon Johnson, as we go deeper into what it actually looked like to unravel our beliefs—and rebuild our lives—from the inside out. We talk honestly about our past and present views on marriage, motherhood, and our roles as wives, and how much of who we thought we were was shaped by obedience, fear, and the constant sense of being watched… and corrected. We share what surprised us most after leaving: Realizing how sacred garments kept us hidden, disconnected from our bodies, and numb to ourselves How we lived feeling like children who were always in trouble, never quite trusted to make our own decisions The deep conditioning of not trusting our own minds—because we were taught they could be hijacked and deceived The disorienting realization that many things we were taught were “bad”… actually aren’t bad at all And the strange, sometimes funny, sometimes painful experience of learning how to be normal adults—like not knowing how to act at a bar, or navigating everyday things that were once forbidden This episode isn’t about bashing a religion. It’s about waking up. About grieving what we lost, questioning what we were taught, and slowly learning how to trust ourselves—our bodies, our instincts, our desires—again. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, afraid of your own thoughts, or unsure how to live outside the rules you were given… this conversation is for you. You’re not broken.You were trained not to trust yourself.And you can learn how to come home.

    Episode 51: Low Libido- is it Menopause or Shame with Andrea Donsky

    What happens to women’s desire during perimenopause—and why are so many women being dismissed, shamed, or told to accept it? In this episode of Wake Her Up, I sit down with Andrea Donsky, a 7-time published menopause researcher and co-owner of Morphus Women’s Nutritional & Supplement Brand, to unpack newly published research on women’s libido during perimenopause and menopause—and the findings demand our attention. 📊 The research shows: 91% of menopausal women report a noticeable decrease in libido 67% report a decreased ability to reach orgasm These numbers aren’t abstract. They reflect the lived reality of millions of women who feel disconnected from desire, intimacy, and themselves—often while being told by doctors things like: “You’re just getting old.” “This is normal—take one for the team.” In this conversation, we explore: What actually happens to libido during perimenopause How hormonal shifts affect desire, arousal, and orgasm The real-life impact libido loss has on women’s identity, confidence, and relationships How medical gaslighting keeps women silent and stuck The role of spiritual trauma and limiting beliefs in suppressing women’s desire Why libido is not just physical—it’s emotional, psychological, and spiritual And most importantly, we talk about what women can do. Because if you feel like something’s missing… it is you. You are the answer. This episode is about helping women reconnect to themselves—not fixing something “wrong,” but remembering what’s been ignored, dismissed, or shut down. We also talk about Andrea’s new book, Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best, which offers research-backed, practical guidance for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. 👉 Pre-order here: https://amzn.to/4rkWikL This episode is for the woman who: Feels disconnected from her desire or vitality Has been dismissed or minimized by medical professionals Knows something feels missing—but hasn’t been given language or direction Is ready to reclaim herself, her body, and her truth If you feel like something’s missing, it is you. And you are more powerful than you’ve been led to believe.
