A catch-up episode this week, where I fill you in on:

• The spacious family time I was craving
• One of the biggest breakthroughs with my new business coach
• An important question to ask yourself if you’ve been in business for a while
• A new event announcement!

As I share in the episode, my new event format - Success Without Sacrifice - is taking place in Sydney on Tuesday 5th August. It’s for you if you want a thriving, profitable business and the freedom, energy, and joy that comes with true success.

This will be my only in person event in 2025, and I’d love to have you join me! Find out more at lorrainemurphy.com.au/sws.

I’ve followed intimacy coach Eleanor Hadley for years now, and one of my 2025 goals was to work with her one-on-one.

Fresh from our coaching time together, I invited her to come on the show to pass on some of the biggest aha moments I had with her… and also to answer your burning questions on all things pleasure, intimacy and sex.

Eleanor is an award-winning certified sex educator, speaker and writer. She offers 1:1 sexuality and embodiment coaching and practical sex education courses.

She has also just released a new online program called Lust & Libido, which she is very generously offering my listeners a 20% discount for. Go to eleanorhadley.com/libido and use code LORRAINE!

In our conversation, Eleanor and I cover:

• Her background and how she came to do the work she does
• What exactly an intimacy coach does!
• The most common blocks she sees women having when it comes to intimacy
• Her clever metaphor for how our beliefs around sex are formed
• The “Madonna Whore Dichotomy” and how it relates to mothers
• If it’s possible to regain the spark if it's gone from a relationship
• The importance of setting the right context for sex, and what the "checklist" is for that
• The concept of brakes and accelerators when it comes to desire
• Sex post baby - “how to give a f*ck about giving a f*ck” (exact words from a listener Q )
• The top toys she recommends

A book Eleanor highly recommends is Come As You Are, by Emily Nagowski.
