💔 Why You Crave Intimacy But Panic When You Actually Get It
#26
Yesterday at 11:42 PM

You want closeness. You initiate the sex. You start the deep conversation. And then… you ghost. Or pull away. Or shut down. Or spiral and convince yourself he doesn’t really love you.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, Courtney dives into the complex, chaotic, oh-so-relatable world of disorganised attachment—also known as anxious-avoidant attachment.

It’s the style no one talks about… But nearly every high-achieving, overthinking woman secretly lives inside of.

What you'll learn in this episode:

The real reason you flip-flop between wanting deep connection and needing spaceHow anxious an...


Avoidant But Achieving: Why High-Functioning Women Keep Intimacy at Arm’s Length
#25
06/24/2025

So, you're the strong one. The capable one. The “I’m fine, don’t worry about me” one.

But here’s the truth no one told you: Avoidant attachment doesn’t mean you don’t want love. It means love feels like it might cost you your freedom.

In this juicy, note-folding, heart-spilling solo episode, Courtney unpacks what avoidant attachment actually looks like for high-achieving women who are thriving in business… but shutting down at home.

We dive into:

The high-functioning habits masking your intimacy struggles (hello, overworking + emotional distance)Why “I’m fine” is your favo...

#24
06/17/2025

Let’s be real—your partner’s short text reply shouldn’t make your heart drop. But if your brain spirals, your chest tightens, and you’re suddenly convinced he’s falling out of love with you, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

Today’s chat is all about anxious attachment—why high-achieving, hyper-capable women like you can lead a boardroom but fall into panic when he forgets the 😘 emoji.

The Real Reason Sex Feels Like a Performance (Hint: It’s Not Just Porn Culture)
#22
06/04/2025

You’ve got the candles lit, the laundry folded, and maybe even the lube nearby… So why does sex still feel like something you’re performing instead of something you’re enjoying?

In this unfiltered, juicy AF episode, I take you on a real-talk car ride (yep, nips freezing and all) to unpack the truth most women never get taught:

If you’re obsessing over your angles, your sounds, or whether you’re “doing it right”—you’re not broken. You’re conditioned.

🚨How to Tell Him What You Want in Bed (Without Hurting His Ego)
#21
05/27/2025

Ever tried to give feedback during sex and it totally backfired? You're not alone. In this refreshingly honest episode, Courtney breaks down one of the most common intimacy blocks for couples: when feedback in the bedroom feels like criticism… and suddenly, your partner shuts down. Whether you’ve been left wondering “Did I just ruin the vibe?” or you’re tired of tiptoeing around your own pleasure, this one’s for you.

Courtney shares:

The Sexy Side I Had to Bury: What Policing Taught Me About Shame, Safety & Sensuality
#20
05/20/2025

This episode wasn’t planned. It poured out of me. And it might be one of the most important ones I’ve ever recorded.

I’m sharing the part of my story I never thought I would: How working in the police force made me shut down my sensuality… Not because of trauma—but because sex started to feel unsafe. Because expressing desire made me a target. Because being bold, feminine, and flirty in that world came at a cost.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

💥 Why I stopped expressing my sexual side—even in my own marriag...

#18
05/06/2025

In this juicy solo episode, I’m coming to you straight from Adelaide—midway through a business leadership workshop and fully inspired to drop some truth.

Let’s talk about what no one tells you: You can be a confident, capable, magnetic woman in business—and still feel like a shy beginner when it comes to sex. And it's not because you're broken. It’s because no one ever taught you how to feel powerful in your body. Only how to perform.

Inside this episode, I cover:

04/29/2025

You’re crushing it in business. In meetings, on Zoom, in your calendar chaos—you're that woman. But the moment sex enters the picture? Initiating intimacy feels like learning a new language… backwards… in stilettos.

#13
04/01/2025

You weren’t born knowing how to file your taxes, host a boardroom meeting, or build a business empire—so why do we assume sex should come naturally?

In this empowering and unfiltered episode, Courtney pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest myths holding women back in the bedroom: the belief that you’re either “good at sex”… or you’re not.
