About your host:
Chiara Hardie is an intimacy coach who shows you how to stop giving a damn what anyone thinks. She helps you find the confidence and freedom to express what you've never dared say — be it sex, taboos, or your relationships.
We said "I love you" to other people | Why "don't catch feelings" is bad advice | What happens when you let love in | E29
We were taught that catching feelings for others was a bad idea.
We have been doing the exact opposite, and our relationship only got stronger – not to mention the incredible sex between us...
Today we talk about Love and how you can experience its deepest and purest form – whether you’re monogamous or not.
We discuss:
why "don't catch feelings" is a rule worth questioning
the difference between fucking and making love, and why you want to flow through both
how jealousy gets smaller every time you face it
why chasing your partner for sex doesn’t work (and what to do instead)

CHAPTERS:
02:42 Rule n. 1: Don't catch feelings - true or false?
04:02 Fucking, making love, and why you want both
07:30 You can have love without a relationship (and a relationship without love)
08:39 You're never in love with the person per se
12:33 Stop trying to convince them to have more sex
13:29 10 prompts for deeper conversations with your partner
18:43 Every test you pass takes one fear off the list
22:12 Why chasing women makes them run away - and what you should do instead
29:25 You can love someone and still go months without speaking

The fine line making or breaking your sex life: 4 nervous system regulation hacks for wild adventures | E28
“Feeling safe” is what makes great sex possible: your nervous system needs to feel completely at ease to really let go — but when your intimate encounter gets too safe, too planned, too nice, it’s no longer sexy. No matter if you’re man or woman.
So how can you feel safe enough / provide the necessary “nervous system safety” to get sexy and maybe even a little kinky, without becoming boring? That's what this episode is about.
We discuss:
why your body won't do what you want on until it’s sure there's no tiger behind the tree
why decisiveness is sexy: how to lead in bed without taking away their choice
the nice guy paradox: how to stop getting friend-zoned now
how to ask for what you want without fearing rejection (hint: it's not about you)
If there's something you've been wanting to try, or say, and you haven't felt safe enough to go there yet, this is what you want to listen to today.

"You should not be wanting sex" - How Shame kills your sex life (and how to stop that) | E27
📩 FREE GUIDE: How to talk about sex with your partner — download our 10 prompts
If anyone has ever said that to you "You should not be wanting so much sex" - related to how often you want it, a fantasy, or a desire that turned up uninvited — this one is for you.
We go straight to the point today: shame is the cause of almost every problem in a relationship.
We discuss:
how shame is something that we are not born with – but that is rather taught us – for good and, not so good, reasons
how body shame is a boner/libido killer
why you should trust your desires
how stop giving a fuck about what people think creates space for curiosity, endless possibilities, and new levels of pleasures
If you’ve ever found yourself fighting with your partner about how much sex you’re (not) having – listen to this and go back to that conversation.
