Intimateconversationspodcast's Podcast

Dan DeSena is a transformational guide helping men achieve authentic growth. I asked Dan about his approach to teaching men about self-pleasure, sexual health, and emotional resilience. We spoke of the sacredness of sex as a spiritual practice, our personal experiences with energy-based orgasms.  Dan expanded on his journey from growing up in a religious family with restrictive views on sexuality to finding sacred sexuality work with John Wineland, which helped him integrate his masculinity and leadership qualities. He's learned to embrace his "darkness" and dominant energy while keeping his heart open, understanding that conscious women sense a man's true strength and authenticity. Dan emphasized that authentic leadership and dominance are not toxic when approached with love and awareness, and he now helps men navigate these aspects of their sexuality while maintaining emotional connection. Dan emphasized the importance of presence and conscious awareness during sexual experience, explaining how many men are

Tiffany Hurd's path and mine crossed almost a decade prior, and it was psychedelics that brought our souls back together. She's a plant medicine facilitator, somatic healer, and guide for embodied transformation and the Microdosing Advisor and Head of Partnerships at Golden Rule Mushrooms. Tiffany has the gift of helping people meet their emotions through the body rather than the mind, turning pain into peace and tension into truth. It was such a joy to welcome her to Intimate Conversations for a deep, nourishing, and embodied dialogue about healing, surrender, and the intelligence of plant medicine.  In this soulful and grounding conversation we explored how Tiffany went from high-achieving perfectionism and corporate burnout to awakening through her own inner wounds. She shared how chronic stress, anxiety, and over-identifying with doing led her body to shut down—and how that breaking point became a sacred initiation into soulful embodiment. We explored the power of plant medicine is as a bridge between the

There are some souls who radiate such drive, heart and devotion to service that you can feel their energy through the screen. Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco is one of those. A powerhouse of faith, family, and fierce integrity, he has turned personal struggle into a dedicated mission to help people become unstoppable in life and business. After the delight of being on his That1Podcast and joining his Quantum Group, it was such a joy to welcome him to Intimate Conversations for a deeper dialogue of real and raw truths about success, surrender, and divine alignment. In this grounded and uplifting episode we explored: -How Mike went from building an eight-figure mortgage company to creating That One Network, a divine calling born from a moment of total on his knees surrender. -The breakdown in his kitchen that became a breakthrough—how releasing control opened the door to grace, flow, and purpose. -His philosophy of being a living demonstration—showing up in body, mind, and spirit as an example of service, discipline

Some women bravely sit in the fire and instead of running to the next job, the next man, the next something… and instead surrender and trust Divine timing on the journey of rebirth after divorce, empty nester and completing a 3 decade career. Kristina is one of those courageous women, willing to trust life and listen to her heart as her soul awakens into a radiance that is undeniable.  Kristina Adams—who is in the process of reclaiming her maiden name Davis— first joined me years ago as a client fresh out of a divorce, and to witness her courage and blossoming now as a cherished sister and Allana Pratt Method Coach is such an honor. I'm her biggest fan. In this tender and powerful conversation we explored… -How Kristina left a 29-year career, walked away from a marriage of 26 years, and recently felt the pain of not being chosen in a relationship that ended painfully- yet the glorious breakthrough was that she chose herself instead, honoring her worth and her soul's truth. -The deep healing she's done throug

Simran is magical. It’s as if I’ve waited my whole life to meet her… again? She’s an author, artist, publisher, mystic, host of 11:11 talk radio,  founder of 11:11 magazine and creating content that bridges humanity and divinity sharing her transformative journey from material success to spiritual awakening triggered by repeatedly seeing the number 11:11.  We began our recording with construction in the background- given our fancy microphones didn’t pick it up, we decided to embrace the disruption as symbolic and potentially useful for their discussion.  We discussed how to respond rather than react to life's challenges. Simran shared her personal journey of transformation that began with repeatedly seeing the number 11:11, which led her to a spiritual awakening after living an outwardly successful but inwardly empty life. She described her 10-year journey of surrendering to darkness and embracing her shadow self, during which she cried daily for months after never having cried before age 40. Simran explained

Jessica’s path and my path are elegantly aligned, our souls are here to do the deep work, to be role models of authenticity and credibility, to walk our talk. A dear colleague and returning guest, Jessica Baum and I reunited on Intimate Conversations to dive into the profound wisdom of her healing journey after the conscious completion of her marriage and the wisdom of this experience written for you, in her newest book, Safe. In this brave, revealing and heartfelt conversation, we explored not just her expertise as a psychotherapist and author, but her lived experience of love, loss, grief, and deep integration. We talked about… -How leaving a relationship—despite love being present—taught her to honor her own needs and stop trying to “fix” partners who weren’t ready to do the work, to bless and release with love -Why we’re so often magnetized to the “familiar” (even when it’s painful), and how implicit memory and attachment wounds stored in the body can unconsciously guide our choices in love -The importanc

There are some souls whose presence feels like a deep exhale, like the banks of the river where you can just be yourself. Jeremy Lipkowitz is one of those rare beings. A former Buddhist monk turned executive coach, he blends ancient wisdom with neuroscience to guide men out of shame and back into integrity, presence, self-love and healthy sexuality.  I first had the honor of being on his podcast, and now I am thrilled to welcome him to Intimate Conversations. In this tender and illuminating conversation, we went places many are too afraid to explore: addiction, shame, intimacy, porn, and the path back home to yourself and your sovereignty. In this powerful episode we explored: -Jeremy’s courageous journey from genetics researcher to Buddhist monk to becoming a leading voice in destigmatizing porn addiction and helping men reclaim their lives. -How seemingly innocent curiosities in childhood can quietly escalate into compulsive porn use, and why shame and secrecy make it worse. -The neuroscience behind ad

There are some women whose very presence let alone wisdom, radiance and deliciousness, uplifts you to a whole new dimension of pleasure, possibility and power in your life. Susan Bratton is one of those incredible women. Known as the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” she’s authored over 44 books and programs on sex, love, and relationships, and it was such a delight to welcome her back to the podcast after nearly a decade. Her level of heart centered juicy bold service to humanity is breathtaking.  In this yummy, candid and electrifying conversation we explored… -How Susan’s work began by desiring to enhance her marriage (now married 34 years) then publishing her mentors’ teachings, and has since evolved into her own legacy of helping people expand their orgasmic potential, deepen bedroom communication, and experience over 20 kinds of orgasms- yes 20! -Why women’s arousal operates on a completely different tempo than men’s, and how slowing down, honoring engorgement, ASKING for what we need can completely change

Amanda first came into my world as a client alongside her husband Brandon, when their marriage was on the brink. Now, years later, she’s circled back as not only a dear friend but also an Allana Pratt Method Coach, still thriving in her marriage. The work works! It was such a joy to feature her IN PERSON on the podcast! (such a sassy new hairstyle! xox)  In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, we explored… -How Amanda and Brandon “burned down” their first marriage after infidelity and chaos, and rebuilt a brand-new foundation based on forgiveness, newfound trust, honesty, and agreements that work.  -The communication tools that saved their relationship, such as Dyads, assume the best in your partner, and own your part without blame or defensiveness. -How self-expression (from purple hair to pole dancing) reconnected Amanda to her body and gave her the courage to reclaim her individuality and embodiment.  -The importance of self-time and intentional weekends, especially while raising kids and balanc

This conversation tenderly expands your heart with unexpected brave truth. What an honor it was to sit down with the luminous Victoria Pippo for this episode of Intimate Conversations. A fellow Canadian goddess, psychic teacher, and disruptor of the spiritual norm, Victoria is the real deal, raw, embodied, and willing to share her relationship journey with profound honesty. We went places in this conversation that few people dare to speak about. Victoria opened up about her love story with her fiancé, Hayden, from their whirlwind meeting to navigating his transition from Rachel to Hayden Lane, and what it meant for their intimacy, polarity, and spiritual growth as a couple. In this deeply vulnerable and heartfelt episode, we explored… -How Victoria and Hayden’s relationship began with instant chemistry and quickly became a soul-union that called them both to grow. -The courageous and sacred path of supporting a partner through gender transition, from hormones to surgery to spiritual awakening. -The raw t

You know when things look like they're falling apart but they're really falling together? I was super stoked to interview several teacher trainers after the workshop completed in Mallorca, Spain. However, one by one the guests began to reschedule as the intensity of the workshop built. It was a good learning lesson to temper my enthusiasm with grounded intuition to ensure my idea was a 5D win win for all. Literally as I was speaking to one guest who was understandably exhausted and requesting to reschedule, her replacement suggestion to interview literally walked in the room. AND I had just sat beside her at lunch earlier that day! Everything fell into place to feature the extraordinary Sophie Josephine on our Podcast. In this heartfelt delicious intimate conversation, we discussed... How Sophie's body made it super clear she was off her Soul's path by literally shutting down for 2 years in bed after previous attempts to ignore her body's truth led to epileptic seizures. How we resurrect our authentic hunger.

For someone who I've known for two decades, it's amazing that I've only interviewed her and her husband once. This was the first time to interview Nada individually and what a profound treat it was! It's been breathtaking to watch her evolution as she balances her superpowers of mind and heart. So many of our childhood wounds turn into coping mechanisms that allow us to thrive vocationally. She is an extraordinary litigator and has a masterful capacity to not be triggered, see both sides of a situation and communicate in a way so that everyone feels heard. She brilliantly sees a way through where others hit a wall.  However these coping mechanisms from our childhood wounds rarely turn into capacities that invite deeper intimacy. They are rooted in validated fears, disappointments, feeling devalued or unseen. I so respect her bravery, consistency and willingness to feel her feelings and integrate these wounds into deeper intimacy with herself, her husband and her children. And honestly with me :-) These intima

There are some conversations that stay with you forever because they crack you open and remind you of what’s truly possible when we lean into vulnerability, truth AND cherished sisterhood. What a gift to circle back with my bestie Nada Shamonki, who has witnessed my journey for the past 20 years as we explore the depths of emotional capacity and sacred repair together. In this delicious and soul-stirring conversation we explored… - How I shifted from survival-based relationships, either damsel in distress or hyper-independent ‘boss woman,’ into wholeness, where love, work and collaboration become spaces for awakening and growth. - A powerful story from one of my women’s retreats where a rupture in co-leadership became holy ground for healing. By leaning into raw vulnerability and shared responsibility, we modeled what true repair looks like, healing not only ourselves but also the collective wound among women around power, sisterhood, and ‘Triality’ (win win win) collaboration. - The sacred practice of buildi

This extended and deeply personal episode turns the tables as Allana Pratt, usually the host, is interviewed by her long-time friend, client, and legal counsel, Nada Shamonki. Their 20-year friendship lays the foundation for an open, vulnerable, and intimate conversation about Allana’s personal, professional and spiritual evolution.   -Allana reflects on becoming a single mother and building her coaching career from scratch, including her initial niche as the “Sexy Mom Expert.” She shares early milestones, including working with Leeza Gibbons and navigating motherhood without her own mother. -Allana's transformation from a performance-based, people-pleasing mindset to deeply embodied, spirit-led facilitation has been the outcome of years of trauma integration and somatic healing which helped her access a new level of presence and intuition in her coaching. -Nada speaks to Allana’s unique energetic quality—her ability to make others feel truly safe, seen, and unjudged, enabling profound connection, healing,

This is phenomenal to interview Bob Grant after having been interviewed by him for his summit. I can see why women feel so safe being coached around dating and relationships by him. His energy is so present, safe, kind, and caring. He's void of judgment and committed to a proven path of fixing the problem. He provides clear points of view that open up new possibilities. And simultaneously, he's deep, he's not into quick fixes or surface solutions, he invites his clients to slow down and feel, discover the shadow underneath it all that's at the root of the problem. In this passionate-about-relationships conversation, we also discussed... -How our greatest fear is often the portal to our greatest asset, and he shares an incredible story about a woman who thought she was ugly -How being too quick to fall in love or get serious often leads to either boredom or an explosion, and he has a different approach for his clients -How slowing down his very bright clients who want to find the solution, and instead guiding

This deeply personal and emotional episode features Danielle, a cherished client of my coaching program. The conversation highlights her impressive growth through emotional healing, relationship transformation, and personal empowerment, especially after ending a toxic relationship. Danielle began coaching when she was in a manipulative and emotionally abusive relationship with a man who resented her financial success. Despite having wealth and a supportive family background, she struggled with self-worth, especially around romantic partners. Her patterns included "project men" – dating men she wanted to fix or help, often at the cost of her own needs, happiness, and boundaries. In this exquisitely vulnerable and honest conversation, we also discussed... -How she has truly healed through coaching with me and has begun to see how her childhood dynamics and subconscious beliefs were driving her relationship patterns. -Her new, conscious relationship. She is now in a healthier, emotionally aware relationship with

My Allana Pratt Method coach Kristina has been speaking of Rebecca for years. I am super stoked I followed through and interviewed this brilliant, embodied, inspiring woman! Rebecca gets Change!  It's like she's another facet of the same Diamond I am, that we shine a congruent, complementary light on embracing change and an aligned feeling of breathtaking honor to walk with someone through the cycle of change. She helped me turn some unconscious competences into competent competences. I'm so grateful! In this conversation that I would have been happy to have gone on for over 5 hours (which is definitely going to happen when I get my ass to Santa Fe and meet her) we also discussed... -How my superpower is definitely supporting people in what she calls the Liminal stage of change, when you step into the unknown and face uncertainty, when you feel uncomfortable and often avoid feelings, when you leave what's no longer working and take the leap -How she's helping us to redefine change not as something bad, but so

While Dr. Kevin is known for his whole body approach called Head to Toe Healing, I would say from Head to Heart. We instantly dove into a spiritual conversation about all the Divine orchestrations and experiences of his evolution. It explains so much of the depth of presence that I experienced with him when I interviewed him on Instagram and teased him that he's the Sexy Care Bear :-) There's a resonance in his voice that is sourced someplace quite deep, and learning more of his story revealed what I intuited. And even though we eventually talked about health and well-being and the phenomenal results his followers receive, we also dove into the unexpected beauty of his current romantic relationship.  In this authentic conversation that brought tears to my eyes, we also discussed... -How the timing of our podcast pre-record was so Divine for me, bringing me to tears when he shared his Dark Night of the Soul and what I'm currently navigating -How depression is different than a Dark Night of the Soul, and how a

After a botchy IG Live when I couldn’t SEE Esin, this was delicious to LOOK into her beautiful eyes and connect heart to heart. Erin is a Holistic Psychologist, LCSW, Addiction Professional, and Relationship Expert.  We dove right into our shared experiences of Female Friendship & Betrayal. While many think breaking up with a boyfriend or husband is intense… we both agreed that the heartbreak of female friendship betrayals and the pain of sisterhood ruptures can be even more intense… perhaps because you don’t see them coming.  We both opened up about how early family roles and codependent tendencies and how that has shaped our adult relationships, and how needing constant reassurance or connection with others can lead to losing a sense of self. It was so nourishing to connect with Esin about the complexities of therapeutic relationships, how deeply intimate and soul-connected they can become, and the struggle to maintain healthy boundaries without losing authenticity or care. We both have historically ove
