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:

1. Wrestling with burnout, perfectionism, and the myth of “having it all”
2. Navigating divorce or feeling stuck in a marriage or career that no longer fits
3. Healing their relationships with their bodies, food, desire, and self-worth
4. Ready to rewrite the second half of life with more agency, courage, and joy

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. Through this platform Sarah helps parents navigate the digital world with and for their kids. Sarah founded Broad Collective with Erin Keating to help other women entrepreneurs at midlife accelerate their growth and success by providing them with the tools, strategy and support they need to truly thrive.

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.

Culture tells women over 40 that midlife is a time of decline: hot flashes, lost libido, and fading from relevance. But what if midlife is actually your portal to power, pleasure, and self-ownership? In this episode, we’re joined by Natty Frasca, a feminist coach, rebel rouser, and the founder of The Feminine Rebellion, to set fire to the script of people-pleasing and perfection and offer a toolkit for redesigning your one, wild life.

Together, Erin and Natty dive into the realities of midlife: ending marriages (or reinventing them), raising kids (and yourself), walking away from “having it all,” and learning to put your actual desires at the very heart of your existence. Tune in as we discuss:

• Burning down the myth of midlife decline: how changing the narrative is the first step toward profound joy and agency
• How to know when “having it all” isn’t enough: whether it’s a health crisis, career shakeup, or finally naming what you want
• Saying no, drawing boundaries, and giving up the performance of being the good girl, perfect wife, or supermom
• Redesigning relationships: how truth-telling (even when it feels scary or shameful) can be the beginning of deep intimacy, not the end
• Why pleasure isn’t just a reward but an essential power source
• The magic of midlife community: the necessity of surrounding yourself with women who see, support, and challenge you
• Living with radical agency: trusting yourself to choose your work, your relationships, your body, your joy unapologetically

OUR GUEST: Natty Frasca is a pleasure coach, rebel rouser, and the founder of The Feminine Rebellion. She helps high-achieving women over 40 unbind from burnout and “good girl” conditioning—so they can reclaim their confidence, sensuality, and power. Her work blends neuroscience, somatics, and radical pleasure to ignite a woman’s second act into her best one yet.

“Your birthright is pleasure.”

What if everything you’ve been taught about aging, sexuality, and womanhood is not only outdated, but completely wrong? Joining us to challenge all of it is Melissa Louise, a pleasure advocate and erotic blueprint coach whose perspective on midlife, menopause (or as she calls it, “regenopause”), patriarchy, and sex magic will have you rethinking every cultural script you’ve inherited.

In this conversation, Erin and Melissa unpack the rules women internalize about their bodies, pleasure, and relationships and explore what becomes possible when we step outside those boxes. From raising her son barefoot in the jungles of Costa Rica to guiding clients toward sexual mastery, Melissa invites us to reclaim our agency and embrace our inherent power in the second half of life. We discuss:

• Why “menopause” is a social construct designed to weaken women and how “regenopause” can become a regenerative upgrade to wisdom and power
• How pleasure operates as a life force that fuels creativity, manifestation, and even financial abundance
• How society’s 24-hour sun cycle depletes women, and what it means to reconnect with the lunar rhythms of the female body
• The difference between love and monogamy, and why relationship structures are due for a radical rethink
• Why older women have historically been the wisdom keepers, and how we can reclaim our place as guides, leaders, and culture-shapers
• Practical ways to bring more pleasure, freedom, and play into everyday life no matter your age, relationship status, or beliefs about midlife

OUR GUEST: Melissa Louise is a leading Pleasure Advocate, Erotic Blueprint, Sex, Intimacy & Relationship Expert. She supports women to reclaim their divine birthright to feel alive, orgasmic and turned on no matter their age or relationship status. And men to be more attractive, powerful, trustworthy, make more money and find freedom by lasting longer in bed. It's the perfect erotic cocktail that nourishes health, wealth and well being. With certifications also in Kink 101, Accelerated Evolution and Access Consciousness, Melissa Louise truly embodies the principle that how we do life is how we do sex.

Ever wonder what it takes to create not just lasting love, but a partnership that feels intentional, exciting, and alive, even years in? Join us as we sit down with Rono and Sierra, lifelong friends turned business partners turned romantic couple, to peel back the curtain on what it means to make your relationship your true North Star.

Rono and Sierra are the founders of Eden World, a vibrant community for couples who want to evolve how they love and live, through honest, peer-to-peer connection rather than traditional therapy or coaching. Their work is all about normalizing the messy, beautiful reality of long-term intimacy, where communication, self-awareness, and humor matter as much as passion. Whether you’re newly single, searching for your next great love, or looking to deepen the connection in your current relationship, this conversation will help you imagine what’s possible and offer real tools to start creating it now. Tune in as we discuss:

• Finding a partner who’s truly communicative, intentional, accountable, and sexy
• What makes a “conscious couple” and how self-awareness unlocks new levels of connection
• Why prioritizing your relationship (yes, even above work and kids!) might just be the secret to lasting joy and epic partnership
• How peer couples’ support, not advice-giving, can normalize struggles around everything from mismatched libido to communication, making you feel less alone, and more seen
• The power of the “Epic Date Night”: creative, playful, sexy rituals you can introduce right now to reignite intimacy and laughter with your partner
• How to hold onto joy and playfulness in the face of messy relational dynamics, healing old stories, and rewriting limiting beliefs about love

OUR GUESTS: Rono & Sierra are leading authorities in conscious partnership and legacy-driven love. As the founders of Eden World- the premier community for high-impact, purpose-driven couples- and creators of Rockstars of Relationship, they’ve spent over two decades helping visionary couples thrive in love, leadership, and legacy. Drawing from their own lived journey, they’ve built a proven path for turning coupleship into a source of strength, clarity, and growth.

What does reinvention really look like when life keeps throwing curveballs? For Susan Guidi, it’s a story packed with twists, pivots, and badass comebacks. An ultrasound pioneer, mother of three, grandmother of seven, improv performer, stand-up comedian, and award-winning bodybuilder, Susan’s life is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. At 66, she wrote and performed her own one-woman show, “What If Wonder Woman Was 66?”—and she hasn’t stopped breaking rules or deadlifting weights since.

Join Erin and Susan as they dive into how she transformed loss into strength, defied cultural expectations, and kept discovering new versions of herself again and again. They explore:

1. The art of starting over: whether in a new country, new career, or after heartbreak
2. Defying cultural expectations about aging, ambition, and what women “should” want after 40
3. Building a thriving business from scratch, with zero business training
4. Bodybuilding after menopause: the science, grit, and audacity it takes to compete and win
5. How “trying on” new identities, from entrepreneur to comic to Wonder Woman, opens up endless possibilities for finding joy and self-love

OUR GUEST: Susan Guidi has been the owner of Advanced Ultrasound Services for more than 25 years. She is a pioneer in diagnostic ultrasound technology. Susan trained at John Hopkins Hospital. She taught some of the first courses in ultrasound in Chile and then received her master’s degree in Paris, France. She is a mother of 3 and grandmother of 7. In her spare time Susan is a standup comedian and improv artist. At 65 she became a bodybuilder and motivational speaker. Last year at 66 she produced, wrote and performed her One Woman Show, "What if Wonder Woman was 66."

What does it really take to create a love that feels both grounded and expansive? A relationship where two whole people choose to grow together?

In this week’s episode, we sit down with relationship coach and author Gabriela Embon to explore how to build a thriving partnership that balances individuality and intimacy. Drawing from her own journey and her book “Becoming a Power Couple: Four Pillars to Engineer Legendary Marriages”, Gabriela breaks down the deeper mechanics of lasting love, what it means to truly see and be seen by your partner, and why doing your own inner work is the most romantic act of all.

Together, Erin and Gabriela unpack what it looks like to consciously create love after 40: how to navigate conflict with curiosity, rebuild trust after heartbreak, and make space for joy, desire, and emotional safety in equal measure. We discuss:

• The difference between codependence and true partnership
• How to communicate your needs without losing connection
• Why self-awareness and vulnerability are the foundation of intimacy
• The “Four Pillars” of healthy relationships. Me, You, Our, and Us
• How every couple must pass through the “power struggle” phase to reach true intimacy
• What it means to become a power couple, where both people are evolving, not performing

OUR GUEST: Certified coach and author Gabriela Embon believes that a fulfilling adult life hinges on two essential components: an ideal career and a thriving primary relationship. In the last 2 decades as a coach, Gabriela has dedicated herself to helping couples build fulfilling and enduring relationships. Gabriela utilizes the analytical and problem-solving skills from her engineering background, and applies them to the intricacies of human relationships. By combining the precision of engineering with the emotional depth of human behaviour, she empowers couples to transform their relationships, and become a Power Couple.
