Sexual wellness is often reduced to physical sensation - but what if it could be the key to mental clarity, relationship harmony and professional success?

Today, Emilie sits down with Dr. Tara to explore the three dimensions of sexual health that most people ignore.

We dig into the root causes of the low self-esteem epidemic among women and challenge the restrictive cultural scripts we inherited from previous generations.

Dr. Tara explains the tangible ROI of an orgasm and why "sex positivity" is about more than just being open-minded. We also navigate the dark side of digital intimacy, from the dehumanization of AI sex bots to the misogyny lurking in your DMs. This is a candid look at how reclaiming your sexuality can fundamentally change how you show up in the world.
