Hi my sweets 💛

This is a special one. At the end of every episode, I ask my guests the same question: when was the last time you had that sweet release? This is a collection of those answers. Honest, a little messy, and very human.

We talk about pleasure as a practice, not a performance. Solo and partnered. Asking for what you want. Consent. Shame. Play. The quiet morning ones and the ones that bring you back to yourself. Some stories are spicy. Some are surprisingly tender.

If you’ve ever felt weird naming what feels good, this one’s for you.

Much love,

Barbie Jean ✨

Hi my sweets 💛

Welcome back! Today I’m sitting next to Chelsea, and y’all… this conversation goes places. We talk about what happens when the “rules” you built your whole life on suddenly stop existing — from church girl monogamy, to a big year of exploration and expansion, to landing in a polyamorous life that actually feels like freedom.

Chelsea shares how she went from “I’m not sharing, not a chance” to solo poly with a nesting partner she adores, what it really looks like to date honestly with multiple people in the mix, and the hard, ongoing work of loving a body she was taught to hate. We get into faith deconstruction, jealousy, communication styles that are polar opposites, more love = more problems (and more magic), and why the more you explore, the safer you start to feel in your own skin.

This one is for anyone who’s ever outgrown the box they were handed… or is quietly wondering what else might be possible. 😏🔥

Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

Much love,

Barbie Jean ✨

Hey my sweets 💛

This week I’m sitting with Rachel Yellin, a therapist, yoga teacher, former doula, and creator of The Feel Good Life. Rachel has spent decades exploring the deep connection between birth, the nervous system, and how we show up in our relationships and bodies.

We talk about what it really means to be present with the people we love, why our bodies often know the truth before our minds do, how birth mirrors the same states we need for intimacy and pleasure, and how even one early experience can shape the way we move through the world. Rachel also shares simple, powerful ways to regulate your nervous system and meet shame with self-compassion.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled to slow down, or wanted to understand how early imprints affect your capacity for connection and pleasure… this one’s for you.

Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

Much love,

Barbie Jean

P.S. - If you hear meowing throughout the episode, that's Dex, who insisted on providing background vocals.
