Money and sex have more in common than we’re comfortable admitting, and that discomfort is exactly the problem.

In this episode, Priya sits down with Dirty Lola (sex educator, retail expert, and pleasure advocate) to unpack why two of the most human parts of life are also the most avoided. From how shame gets wired into us early, to why people delay pleasure until they feel they’ve “earned it,” this conversation reveals how our relationship with money often mirrors our relationship with sex.

What starts as a sex talk quickly becomes a deeper conversation about permission, self-trust, communication, and the real cost of avoidance — emotionally, relationally, and financially. If you’ve ever postponed pleasure, clarity, or confidence waiting for the “right time,” this episode will hit.

Takeaways:

• Shame thrives in silence — and both money and sex suffer when we avoid talking about them.
• Many people only allow themselves pleasure after a milestone… but that delay comes at a real cost.
• Budgeting isn’t just about numbers — it’s about permission, values, and self-worth.
• Pleasure (like money) works best when it’s intentional, communicated, and guilt-free
