What does it look like to put female pleasure at the center of feminine wellness? In this episode of Universal Intimacy, guest host Meleza Morris sits down with Kim Aviv and Ada Trujillo, founders of Mila, to explore the evolving landscape of female intimacy and the movement toward more intentional, pleasure-centered wellness.Together, they discuss the importance of prioritizing women’s pleasure, challenging the narratives that have historically sidelined female desire, and raising the standard for the products women use to care for their intimate well-being. With a commitment to high-quality ingredients and thoughtful formulation, Mila is helping reimagine what feminine wellness can look and feel like.This conversation explores the intersection of intimacy, innovation, and empowerment—and what becomes possible when women’s pleasure is treated not as an afterthought, but as an essential part of well-being.
Mila brings skincare and K-beauty’s design sensibility to intimate wellness – a category untouched by innovation for 15+ years. Kim and Ada are making it aspirational, routine, and no longer taboo, with clinically premium ingredients and elevated, ritual-driven products.

Permission to Surrender with Matt Kosterman
In Episode 30 of Universal Intimacy, professional photographer and exploratory psychonaut Matt Kosterman shares the deeply personal journey that took him from a seemingly traditional life of marriage, fatherhood, and business success into a profound unraveling of everything he thought he knew about himself.
Matt shares how unresolved emotional experiences began revealing themselves through his physical body, including frozen shoulder and pelvic pain, and how somatic practices and dearmoring helped him begin accessing and releasing tension, emotion, and protective patterns that had been held beneath conscious awareness.
The conversation also explores the role of community and witnessing in transformation. Rather than healing in isolation, we begin to discover ourselves through relationship—with our bodies, our communities, and the people willing to walk alongside us.
Ultimately, this episode isn’t about psychedelics as an escape from ordinary life. It’s about what happens when we use profound experiences as doorways—and then do the much harder work of bringing what we’ve discovered back into our 3D reality.
This is a conversation about what happens when the structures of our lives fall away—and we finally become curious about the person underneath them!

What The Nervous System Has to Do with Your Intimacy with Anat Peri
In This Episode, We Explore:

→ Nervous system regulation and creating a sense of safety
→ Somatic healing and embodied emotional processing
→ The relationship between presence, embodiment, and connection

A central theme of this conversation is the difference between understanding a pattern and actually experiencing something differently in the body.
