#53: Pleasure vs. the Patriarchy: A Lesson in Self Love with The Magnetic Woman

What happens when a former Catholic schoolgirl discovers that pleasure isn't sinful but sacred? Lauren Joyce, known as The Magnetic Woman, radiates confidence as she shares her journey from sign language interpreter to pleasure coach who's revolutionizing how women connect with their bodies. Lauren's transformation began during a quarter-life crisis coinciding with her father's death. Seeking meaning, she stumbled into a personal development program that shocked her Catholic sensibilities but awakened something profound. Today, she leads a global community helping women break free from shame and conditioning that keeps them disconnected from their desires. The conversation reveals startling truths about pleasure in women's lives. Most can't even answer what brings them joy – not just sexually, but in any aspect of life. This disconnect stems from religious conditioning and patriarchal systems that teach women they'll be punished for experiencing too much pleasure. Lauren explains how this conditioning begins early, with girls suppressing their voices around age twelve, eventually losing connection with their own wants and needs. For those seeking to reconnect with pleasure, Lauren recommends starting with just five minutes daily of intentional focus on physical sensation. This simple practice dramatically lowers cortisol levels and helps regulate the nervous system. She discusses how alcohol often inhibits rather than enhances sexual pleasure by further numbing already disconnected bodies, and how taking pressure off goal-oriented sex creates space for genuine intimacy in relationships. The most powerful takeaway? "There's no upper limit on pleasure." In a world where heartbreak and loss are inevitable, why not experience as much joy as possible? Whether through her online membership "The Red Temple," her courses, or in-person retreats in places like southern France, Lauren's mission remains the same: helping every woman discover the magnetic, radiant being that already exists within her. Ready to reclaim your pleasure? What might change in your life if you gave yourself permission to feel truly alive?

#52: Woodstock, Car Escapes, and #IPEX Advocacy with Missy Ramirez

When a mother's intuition conflicts with medical opinion, lives hang in the balance. For Missy Ramirez, trusting her gut during her son's mysterious illness ultimately led to uncovering IPEX – an extremely rare autoimmune disorder affecting just 1 in 1.6 million people worldwide. Behind her N95 mask (worn to protect her immunocompromised son), Missy shares the harrowing journey from that first emergency room visit to becoming a powerhouse advocate for bone marrow registry diversity. Unlike many immune disorders that weaken defenses, IPEX sends Jax's immune system into overdrive – a "Formula One race car" response that attacks not just infections but his own organs and tissues. The only cure? A blood stem cell transplant from a perfectly matched donor. But therein lies another challenge: patients of Latino heritage like Jax have less than a 50% chance of finding a compatible donor, compared to the 85-90% match rate for Caucasian patients. Through tears and laughter, Missy reveals how this diagnosis transformed her into a fierce medical advocate and community organizer who has helped register over 7,000 potential donors to the Be The Match registry. Her philosophy is beautifully simple: "The universe provides what you give out." Despite watching her son fight for his life multiple times, she maintains infectious optimism and determination to help not just Jax, but countless families facing similar battles. Between sharing wild stories from her pre-mom life (escaping a suspicious cab driver and surviving Woodstock '99), Missy delivers a powerful message about becoming a "walking hero" through a simple cheek swab. Text "Jax Ramirez PA" to 61474 to get your home testing kit, follow their journey on social media @BeTheMatchForJax, or simply share their story to help create a world where everyone has an equal chance at finding their lifesaving match.
