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.

Hey my sweets 💛

Welcome back! A listener wrote in about something I think a lot of us feel but don’t always say out loud... when the intimacy is still really good, but it’s started to feel a little planned. A little predictable. Like you both know exactly how the night is going to go.

He loves the sensual, connected version they have. He just also misses that spontaneous, in-the-moment energy. The kind where things feel a little more playful, a little less scripted. And he’s wondering how to bring that back without making his partner feel like what they already have isn’t enough.

In this episode, we’re talking about how even the best intimacy can quietly slip into a routine, not because anything’s wrong, but because what works becomes the default. We’re getting into the real stuff: how to invite more spontaneity and fluidity without pressure, how both partners can feel safe exploring different sides of connection, and why having access to both the sensual and the spontaneous actually makes everything hotter and more connected.

If you’ve ever felt like your intimate life is beautiful but a little… scheduled, or if you’re the one craving a little more “I need you right now” energy, this one’s for you.

Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

Much love,

Barbie Jean ✨

Hey my sweets, welcome back to Sweet Release! I am so excited because this week I sat down with the most gorgeous goddess, Aline. She's a tantra teacher, mama, and former Goldman Sachs finance girl turned full-time embodiment guide. We get into everything: her journey from corporate life into motherhood, trauma work, and tantra, and how a random tantra festival cracked her wide open.

We talk about the healing tools that ground her (breathwork, sound, meditation), the beautiful way she's raising her daughter with nonviolent communication, and her path toward becoming a facilitator herself with Awaken as Love.

But the moment that really got me was when Aline shared a memory that had been completely hidden from her body for years… a moment of shame from middle school that she didn't even remember until a regression session brought it flooding back. We talk about how the body holds what the mind forgets, and how she's since reawakened a part of herself she didn't know was disconnected.

We also go there on kink, rope, power dynamics, and what it means to find your own version of freedom and surrender. This one is juicy, healing, and so beautifully vulnerable.

Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

Much love,

Barbie Jean

Hey my sweets, welcome back to Sweet Release! I'll be honest, I haven't been feeling super inspired lately to create, between turning 34, celebrating my sister's baby shower, and hosting two workshops here in Charleston, it's been a full season. But this week something lit me up. I binged Off Campus on Amazon and I could not stop thinking about it.

In this episode I'm breaking down everything this show cracked open in me… the raw, real portrayal of intimacy and friendship, the healing power of music, and the scene that genuinely made me bawl my eyes out (you'll know the one). I also get personal about leaning on the people we love, giving ourselves permission to feel the heavy stuff and the playful stuff, and why your most authentic, erotic spirit deserves to be honored.

Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

Much love,

Barbie Jean

Hi my sweets, welcome back! 💛 Today is your favorite kind of episode... it's an AMA! I'm answering the questions I've been getting, some I've been avoiding, and getting real about all of it.

We're talking about what I used to believe about love (spoiler: I thought my soulmate would be a mind reader 😂), what "sweet release" truly means to me, the hardest boundary I've ever had to set, and yes... the worst date I've ever been on. It involves a club promoter, bottle service I didn't ask for, and an Uber getaway. You'll love it.

I also opened up about feeling like I'm "too much" for people, how Hunter and I navigate the uncomfortable conversations (the dirty bowl saga 😅), and the scariest thing I've ever written in my book. Plus a hidden talent reveal that might surprise you.

Oh, and I shared my last sweet release. Of course. 😏

This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they're too much, too real, too everything. You're not. The right people are grateful you show up full.

Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

Much love,

Barbie Jean
