About this listen

Welcome to Sex & Bacon — the podcast serving up unfiltered conversations about sex, love, dating, relationships, and everything society told you not to talk about at the dinner table. Hosted by Sarah, this show dismantles shame and breaks down the stigma around sex and the sex industry—one juicy, no-holds-barred conversation at a time. Whether you're swiping right, loving long-term, healing a broken heart, or finally embracing your sexuality, you’re in the right place. Each week, we explore the raw, real, and ridiculous parts of modern intimacy through stories, expert insights, and honest talk that makes you feel seen, heard, and maybe a little turned on. Questions we’re answering on the regular: - What does healthy sex even look like? - Can hookup culture coexist with emotional connection? - Why are we still so uncomfortable talking about female pleasure? - How do you rebuild trust after betrayal? - Is there really such a thing as "too much sex"? - What do sex workers wish everyone knew? - And why is vulnerability the ultimate aphrodisiac? No filters. No shame. No faking it. Press play and let’s talk about the things we all think—but rarely say out loud.

  • From Mormon Shame to Sex Magic: How Carolee & Britton Rebuilt Their Marriage
    Jun 24 2025

    What if everything you believed about love, sex, and marriage was built on shame—and it nearly destroyed you?

    In this raw, rebellious, and soul-awakening episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Sarah sits down with Carolee and Britton—former devout Mormons turned sexual freedom seekers—for an unfiltered conversation about unlearning religious programming, healing from infidelity, and discovering the power of sex magic.

    They dive into how growing up Mormon created deep repression, guilt, and silence around sexuality—and how it all came to a head in their marriage through betrayal, disconnection, and years of internalized shame. But instead of falling apart, Carolee and Britton chose the path of radical self-responsibility, spiritual awakening, and shadow work (with a few smashed picture frames and moonlit rituals along the way).

    From smashing purity culture to manifesting their dream home mid-orgasm, this episode is a masterclass in rewriting the rules—and reclaiming your body, your voice, and your pleasure.
    🔥 This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt broken by belief systems, but still dreamed of rising whole.

    🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

    • How religious shame shapes our sexuality—and what it takes to unlearn it

    • The silent toll of purity culture on women’s bodies, desire, and confidence

    • Infidelity, emotional immaturity, and the deeper wounds underneath cheating

    • Why healing together sometimes means burning everything down first

    • What “sex magic” actually is—and how it can transform your life

    • The power of psychedelic medicine, astrology, and conscious co-creation

    • How Carolee and Britton rebuilt a marriage on truth, not tradition

    🎧 Hit play if you’ve ever questioned the beliefs you were raised with—or wanted a relationship that’s wildly more aligned, embodied, and soul-fueled.
