How to Talk About Pleasure with Regena Thomashauer

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your sensuality, unsure how to claim your power, or silenced by shame — this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, Krista sits down with legendary teacher and bestselling author Regena Thomashauer — aka Mama Gena — to explore the radical act of reclaiming pleasure as a source of feminine power. Together, they trace the path from repression to radiance, and how the erotic is not just a personal awakening, but a cultural one.
Regena is the founder of the School of Womanly Arts and the author of Pussy: A Reclamation, a book that’s become a modern-day manifesto for feminine sovereignty. Through her own story — from growing up in a house of violence to teaching at a sex commune to guiding thousands of women back to their bodies — she reveals the revolutionary power of sensual embodiment.
Together, Krista and Regena unpack:
Why owning your pussy means owning your life
How shame is inherited — and how it can be transmuted through pleasure
The cost of 'manning up' and the freedom of reclaiming the feminine
How to awaken the body as a source of truth, guidance, and divinity
Why naming your body is the first step to liberating your voice
This episode is a permission slip — to feel more, to speak louder, to take up space, and to come home to the parts of yourself that were never meant to be hidden. It’s a call to let it rip — and remember that pleasure isn’t indulgent. It’s sacred.

How to Talk About Impact with Mara Abrams

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How can my life make a greater impact?” — this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, Krista sits down with Mara Abrams, founder of Numara Impact, to explore the pressure we feel to prove our worth by living a life that leaves an impact and how that pressure often comes not from purpose itself, but from shame.
Mara is no stranger to impact. She’s shaped national policy, supported global youth movements, and advised world leaders on how to center empathy in systems change. But her most profound insights don’t come from her résumé: they come from her personal reckoning with burnout, ego, and what it really means to live a meaningful life.
Together, Krista and Mara unpack:
The hidden link between shame and high-achieving
Why burnout is often a loss of purpose, not just a lack of rest
How to separate your self-worth from your output
The quiet power of listening — to yourself and to others
Why the most radical form of impact might be… tenderness
This episode is a love letter to anyone who’s sprinting toward impact but feels like they haven’t arrived. It’s a reminder that your worth isn’t something you prove. It’s something you remember and practice daily by living from your personal purpose.

How to Talk About Shame with Patrycja Slawuta: Part 2

Patrycja Slawuta, Ph.D., has spent a lifetime studying what most of us spend our lives trying not to touch — shame. As a behavior scientist and expert in collective shame, her work explores the holy trinity of taboo — shame, secrecy, and silence — and how invisible shame shapes every part of our lives, from family systems to finances.In part two of this conversation, we move beyond financial shame into the deeper architecture of human belonging: we explore the roots of shame, its silent inheritance, and how it fractures our sense of self long before we find the language to name it. We talk about how shame shapes belonging, morality, and the stories we tell — or never tell — about who we are.
Together we explore how hope is born from adversity, why vulnerability is the beginning of true power, and what it really means to live a life of nothing left unsaid.
