   What It Takes to Feel Hotter Than Ever

   What is the one pivotal change that would make your life feel hotter than ever? As we arrive at episode 135 of Hotter Than Ever, we’re inviting you into an intimate and powerful reflection, marking both the close of 2025 and a new chapter for the show. As our beloved host, Erin, sets out to build her new venture, Broad Collective, the podcast is taking a break for now. In this episode, Erin reflects on the lessons learned from nearly three years of intimate, rule-breaking conversations on the podcast about sex, identity, pleasure, divorce, career reinvention, parenting, perimenopause, beauty, and the radical act of putting yourself at the center of your own story. If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually possible in midlife, or needed permission to do the scary, necessary thing, let this be your call to action. As Erin signs off (for now), remember: this isn’t the end. It’s your time to rewrite the rules and live your one wild, precious life your way. This episode is for all the women who are: Wrestling with burnout, perfectionism, and the myth of “having it all” Navigating divorce or feeling stuck in a marriage or career that no longer fits Healing their relationships with their bodies, food, desire, and self-worth Ready to rewrite the second half of life with more agency, courage, and joy ❤️ Love the show?

   Starting Your Own Business(es) with Sarah Gallagher Trombley

   We talk a lot on Hotter Than Ever about midlife reinvention and the courage it takes to listen to your intuition, even when the outside world tells you to play it safe. Starting this podcast was a powerful turning point for Erin, but one of the best parts of reinvention? It doesn’t stop at just one chapter. In this episode, Erin steps into her next evolution with the launch of her new business, The Broad Collective, alongside her co-founder Sarah Gallagher Trombley. Sarah is an entrepreneur, former media and technology executive, and the founder of Digital Mom Media, a parent education platform helping families navigate the digital world. Together, Erin and Sarah dive into an honest conversation about the chaos of digital media, motherhood, and building something entirely new in midlife: this time with women’s expertise, values, and community at the center. This episode is your reminder that it’s never too late to pivot, redefine success, and build a life that actually fulfills you. Join us as we explore: The tension between ambition, motherhood, and the corporate structures that weren’t built for women Why both Erin and Sarah left high-profile roles to start their own ventures What happens when your values outgrow the company you work for The birth of Broad Collective, a new network for midlife women entrepreneurs, and why community is the ultimate accelerator for women building businesses after 40 The challenges of self-employment and building your own business beyond the myth of viral overnight success Why real success means supporting and amplifying other women, not competing with them OUR GUESTS: Sarah Gallagher Trombley is an entrepreneur and thought leader working at the intersection of technology, content, revenue and safety. After more than 20 years working in media and technology as a partnerships and sales development executive for storied brands including Conde Nast, Time Inc, Interbrand, Flipboard and Snapchat, Sarah left the corporate world to found the parent education platform, Digital Mom Media.

   Ancient Sexual Wisdom with Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown

   For so many women, sexuality and intimacy feel like the missing piece in living a fully embodied life, especially as we age. Our culture rarely teaches us how to move past the superficial and toward deeper pleasure, healing, and connection. In this episode, longtime teachers and practitioners of tantric and somatic healing, Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown, join us to demystify tantra, explore its potential for personal transformation and show how it can help us gently release even the oldest wounds we’ve been carrying. We’ll unpack: What tantra actually is, beyond buzzwords, and how it turns sex into soul-to-soul connection and prayer Simple, practical ways to shift from goal-oriented sex to intentional intimacy Why so many women hold emotional weight in their bodies and how to begin clearing grief, numbness, and old stories to make room for pleasure Why women carry so much in their bodies and how to begin to release old wounds, grief, and numbness to make space for pleasure The science behind the nervous system’s role in pleasure and healing, and how ritualized practices can help us release what's no longer serving us Why giving your own sexuality permission and curiosity is the gateway to up-leveling every relationship in your life OUR GUESTS: Dr. Willow Brown and Leah Piper are leaders in tantric, somatic, and holistic sexual healing whose combined decades of experience have helped individuals reclaim deeper pleasure, embodiment, and emotional freedom. Dr. Willow Brown, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, weaves ancient Taoist philosophy with sexual and spiritual practices to open the body’s innate pleasure pathways and facilitate profound cellular and somatic transformation. Leah, co-founder of the Sex Reimagined podcast and founder of More Love Works, brings expertise in Tantra Yoga, Positive Psychology, and Somatic Therapies, drawing from her own healing journey to guide individuals and couples toward conscious intimacy and awakened pleasure. Together, they offer a deeply integrative approach, bridging science, spirituality, and embodied practice, to help people release old wounds, reconnect with their true selves, and experience sexuality as a pathway to joy, vitality, and profound love.

What It Takes to Feel Hotter Than Ever

Published 25 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Thank you for your witnessing. Conversations I've been having with extraordinary thinkers, women who have done the deep dive into their areas of expertise, getting cool with change. That has been a huge theme for me, learning how to embrace change. And that seems to be the key to unlocking all of our freedom and happiness in this next chapter. Anytime I did an episode that talked about change, that's what you wanted to hear. How do I handle it? How do I roll with it? How do I get good at change? That has really been what this last couple of years has been for me, a sort of reset, a reinvention, a realignment of my inner self with the person I really want to be as opposed to the person on the outside who really looks like they have it together.
