Supporting the Men You Love

With Dr. Jessica Gold

Supporting the Men You Love

You’re successful in your career, respected in your field, and known for getting things done. Yet despite your outer achievements, something feels missing in your relationship. If this resonates, you’re not alone.

The very qualities that make us successful in our careers – being in control, analytical thinking, and constant doing – can actually block us from experiencing deep intimacy. Recently, I had an illuminating conversation with my dear friend and colleague Dr. Jessica Gold, who shared a profound insight: “Pressure is the enemy of passion.”

Dr. Jessica is a Relationship Chemist for high net worth individuals and men in tech. She is on a mission to help men and women finally understand each other and have passionate relationships alongside profitable business.

Many of us have built our success on being “strong.” We pride ourselves on independence and emotional control. But here’s what’s fascinating: these same traits can unconsciously create barriers to connection. As Dr. Gold explains, “I was trying to control everything and needing to be right… I felt like I could never get the love that I wanted.”

Perhaps the most eye-opening revelation from our conversation was about what men really want. “They really, really want to make the woman in their life happy,” Dr. Gold shared. “That is their deepest desire.” The challenge? Many men have been conditioned to believe that vulnerability makes them less attractive. Our culture has created a catch-22 where men want deep connection but fear the very thing that creates it.

Here’s just a tiny peek at what we uncovered:

— A surprising truth about what men actually want (hint: it’s both simpler and more complex than we’ve been taught)

— The unconscious pattern that’s keeping your man from opening up (and no, it’s not about him)

— One game-changing question that can transform your relationship overnight

Plus, she shared what she calls the “Frisson Formula” – a scientific approach to rekindling that delicious spark of attraction, even if you’ve been together for years.

Remember: Sometimes the smallest shift can create the biggest transformation.

Ready to live a Turned On Life?

Dr. Jessica is a Relationship Chemist for high net worth individuals and men in tech. She is on a mission to help men and women finally understand each other and have passionate relationships alongside profitable business.

Jessica started her career as an MIT-trained PhD chemist and neuroscientist. But, she never had a single class in how to have healthy relationships. Using logic to navigate love resulted in social anxiety, frustrating intimacy, and a crumbling marriage. So, she left academia to go say ‘yes’ to what scared her and try some of that weird right-brain ‘touchy-feely’ stuff.

She spent 4+ years in tantric and spiritual communities in Asia, studying shadow work, kundalini, meditation, and non-dual tantric metaphysics.

Today, Jessica has worked with over 500 men and couples in the field of interpersonal ‘chemistry’ and ‘bonding’. She is the founder of two companies: Bliss Science Coaching, and Digital Wisdom (co-founded with her partner Tevye Krynski).

Her work and life are chronicled in her Tedx talk: Chemistry for Your Sex-Starved Marriage. She has been featured in SF Gate, the Guardian, and the Good Men Project. Dr. Jessica dares you to believe that your sex life and relationship deserve at least as much time as working out or developing your latest AI app.

Aging with Eros: Embracing Your Power & Pleasure at Any Age

With Linda Prystawska

Aging with Eros: Embracing Your Power & Pleasure at Any Age

In this deeply inspiring episode, I sit down with the magnetic Linda Prystawska to explore what it truly means to age with Eros – and it’s so much more than you might think!

Linda shares her remarkable journey from theater actor to embodiment coach, catalyzed by a pandemic-era “f*ck yes” moment that changed everything. Her story proves it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and step into your full power.

Key highlights from our conversation:

— Why the “invisible phase” of aging is a myth we need to shatter

— How Linda discovered more pleasure capacity in her 60s than she had in her 30s and 40s

— The truth about aging, beauty standards, and reclaiming your magnetic presence

— Practical tools for awakening your life force energy at any age

— Why pleasure is your birthright and how to access more of it

This episode is especially for you if:

— You’re navigating perimenopause or menopause

— You feel invisible or diminished as you age

— You’re ready to reject cultural narratives about “aging gracefully”

— You want to expand your capacity for pleasure

— You’re seeking inspiration for your next chapter

Linda reminds us that at any age, we’re “in the perfect position to create the life we want.” Her words and presence are living proof that our power and pleasure potential only grows richer with time.

The Secret to Passionate, Connected Relationships That Last

With Mark And Amanda Testa

The Secret to Passionate, Connected Relationships That Last

Are you ready to transform your relationship and deepen your connection with your partner? In this intimate episode, I’m joined by my husband Mark to discuss how sacred sexuality practices have revolutionized our marriage and can do the same for you.

In this episode, we explore:

— Why sacred sexuality isn’t about marathon tantric sessions, but rather about deepening authentic connection

— How to move past people-pleasing tendencies in the bedroom

— The importance of opening your heart fully to your partner (and why it’s scarier than you think)

— Our favorite practice for building vulnerability and trust: the “Fears, Loves & Desires” exercise

— Breaking free from goal-oriented behavior during intimacy

— Tips for men on embracing sacred sexuality and supporting their partners

— Real talk about handling conflict, repair, and keeping love alive through challenges

We get vulnerable about our own journey from a guarded, performance-based connection to one of true intimacy and partnership. Mark shares his perspective on moving past patriarchal conditioning, while I discuss overcoming “good girl” programming and learning to honor my own pleasure and desires.Whether you’re looking to reignite the spark or take your relationship to new depths of connection, this episode offers practical wisdom for couples ready to do this transformative work together.

How to Hear The “I Love You” In Everything

With J.K. Kennedy

How to Hear The “I Love You” In Everything

In a world obsessed with perfection and highlight reels, what happens when we dare to embrace our messiness? The latest episode of Find Your Feminine Fire featuring poet JK Kennedy offers a refreshing perspective on creativity, healing, and the power of authentic self-expression.

“Anxiety has a million hands,” Kennedy shares in the episode, “and until you put something in every one of those hands, it needs something to do.” This simple yet profound observation speaks to a truth many of us feel in our bones – our unexpressed emotions need an outlet. They need somewhere to go, something to become. Through her journey, Kennedy discovered that creativity isn’t just about making art; it’s about making space for our full human experience.

In one of the most touching moments of the conversation, Kennedy describes catching herself trying to multitask while brushing her teeth – a moment that crystallized how disconnected we’ve become from simple, present-moment experiences. Her journey of “rewilding,” isn’t about becoming more impulsive or wild in the conventional sense. Instead, it’s about returning to our natural rhythm, learning to be fully present in each moment, and finding beauty in the ordinary.

What makes Kennedy’s work so powerful isn’t just its artistry – it’s its honesty.

Through sharing her most vulnerable moments online, she discovered a universal truth: the very things we think make us unlovable are often what connect us most deeply to others. Her poetry serves as a mirror, reflecting back our shared human experience in all its messy, beautiful glory.

Whether you’re a seasoned creator or someone who has never thought of themselves as creative, this episode offers a gentle invitation to explore your inner landscape through creative expression. As Kennedy’s journey shows us, sometimes our deepest wounds become our most beautiful offerings to the world. Her debut book, “Clumsy Beauty,” stands as testament to this truth – that in our messiest, most vulnerable moments, we often find our greatest strength and most meaningful connections.

In this soul-stirring conversation, you’ll discover:

— How hitting rock bottom led to an unexpected creative awakening that transformed one woman’s life

— Why expressing your “mess” through creativity might be the most powerful path to healing— The surprising connection between anxiety and creativity, and how to channel nervous energy into artistic expression— What it really means to slow down and “rewild” yourself in a world that never stops— How sharing vulnerable truths can create profound connections and remind us we’re not alone

Ready to explore your own creative awakening? Listen to the full episode and discover how embracing your authentic voice – in all its clumsy beauty – might just be the key to unlocking deeper connection with yourself and others. Find “Clumsy Beauty” by J.K Kennedy at major retailers and follow her journey of continued discovery at @jkkennedywrites on Instagram.

DOWNLOAD THE TRANSCRIPT

J. K. Kennedy has been serving up bite-size poetry to a rapidly growing audience since October, 2022. An accidental creative writer and incessant (over)thinker, she enjoys her quiet life in the country with her husband and two dogs. Her love of words comes from her beloved grandmother, who introduced her to the interdimensional art of storytelling. She also makes hearty greeting cards to help people express their love and gratitude for each other. This is her first book.

Soulful Breathing For Empowerment With Casey Aksoy

In this soul-nourishing episode, I sit down with my dear friend Casey Aksoy to explore how something as simple as our breath can transform our relationship with pleasure, presence, and power.

As busy women and mothers, we often find ourselves running on empty, disconnected from our bodies and our desires. Casey shares how conscious breathwork can be our pathway back to embodied wisdom and sensual aliveness – without adding another lengthy practice to our already full plates.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

— Why traditional “self-care” advice often fails busy mothers (and what actually works)

— A simple 3-minute morning practice that can shift your entire day

— How to find magic and pleasure in the “mundane” moments of life

— The profound difference between mediocrity and presence

— Why community and witnessing are essential for our transformation

Casey reveals her powerful personal story of using breathwork to move through fertility challenges and reconnect with her innate wholeness. She offers a beautiful perspective on how we can use our breath to transform everyday moments into opportunities for presence and pleasure.

For the busy visionary who feels called to more but doesn’t need another item on her to-do list – this episode offers practical wisdom for accessing deeper states of embodiment and pleasure through the simple power of breath.

Silencing the ‘Good Girl’: Reclaiming Your Sexual Power and Authenticity

With Amanda Testa

Silencing the ‘Good Girl’: Reclaiming Your Sexual Power and Authenticity

Do you ever feel like something is holding you back from fully experiencing pleasure, both in your relationships and within yourself? If you’ve ever caught yourself people-pleasing, holding back your true desires, or numbing out in intimate moments, you’re not alone. Many of us were taught to play the “Good Girl”—to be nice, agreeable, and put others’ needs first. But what if these habits are keeping you from the deep connection and powerful pleasure you crave?

In my latest episode of Find Your Feminine Fire, we’re diving deep into “Good Girl” conditioning and how it shows up in our lives and relationships. We’ll unpack why this conditioning runs so deep, how it impacts everything from our voice to our pleasure, and, most importantly, how you can begin to release it.

What Is “Good Girl” Conditioning?

Growing up, so many of us were taught to prioritize others’ comfort over our own needs. We learned to be quiet, compliant, and likable—essentially, to put everyone else’s needs first. But when we live by these ingrained rules, we lose connection with our authentic selves and our deepest desires. Instead of fully experiencing life, we play small, staying in “safe” patterns that block us from our full expression and joy.

How Does This Affect Our Pleasure?

When we’re living with Good Girl conditioning, we’re constantly scanning for how others perceive us, even in intimate settings. And guess what? The nervous system can’t fully relax and open to pleasure when it’s focused on maintaining control or keeping others happy. This can lead to the “freeze” response—feeling numb, disconnected, or unable to ask for what you want.

Imagine how much would change if you could let go of that need to please and connect with your authentic desires. Imagine giving yourself permission to experience pleasure, to express freely, and to finally feel safe in your own skin. That’s what we’re exploring in this episode, along with practical steps to help you get there.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

— The Real Cost of “Good Girl” Conditioning: Discover how these messages shape our lives and relationships and keep us in patterns of self-silencing and people-pleasing.

— How “Freeze” Blocks Your Pleasure: I’ll explain why many of us enter a “freeze” state in intimate moments and how this keeps us from fully engaging in the experiences we crave.

— Steps to Reclaim Your Power and Voice: From grounding exercises to opening up honest conversations with your partner, I’ll walk you through practical ways to start creating safety and connection.

— A Path to Authentic Intimacy: Releasing these old patterns opens the door to more fulfilling, connected, and joy-filled experiences—both within yourself and in your relationships.

If you’re ready to let go of outdated habits, tune in to this episode and begin reclaiming the full, authentic expression of yourself. And if you’re ready to go even deeper, I’ve created something special for you!

Ready to Bury the “Good Girl” for Good?

I invite you to download my Good Girl Graveyard Ritual, a powerful (and fun!) ceremony designed to help you release the old habits holding you back from your true power. This is a chance to let go of people-pleasing, connect with your authentic desires, and start living life on your terms.

About Your Host:

My name is Amanda Testa, and I’m a Sex, Love, and Relationship Expert + Trauma Resolution Guide.

My goal is to support you to heal your relationship to your sexuality so you can eliminate shame and guilt, own your sexy confidence, feel like a Goddess/Goddex in your skin, and have the deeply connected relationships you desire.

My unique proven process, The Feminine Fire Method™ combines the latest in neuroscience and somatic healing with ancient practices to facilitate rapid and lasting transformation.  I’m also a Mama to a spunky 12 year old,  Wife to my sexy hubs, and lover of outdoor adventure and live music.

I believe deep in my soul is that sexuality is the missing key in personal growth and development.

I believe your sexuality and sexual energy fuels your creativity, confidence, and power. It is a vital part of your holistic health and vitality.

When we own our sexual power our pleasure and creativity flourishes.  Our confidence and body image soars.

Our relationships deepen.

And when you can connect to that power in yourself, it’s life-changing.
