Sweet Release

138. Your Juicy Questions + My Engagement Story

Hey my sweets 💛 Welcome back. Today is an AMA (your favorite 😜) and I am so excited to dive into your juicy questions. We talk butts, titty milk, oral, anal, rare kinks, how to bring something new into the bedroom when your partner is shy, breakups, and how to tell someone you have a crush on them even when it feels a little clumsy. And I finally share my engagement story. Hunter and I have been together almost seven years. We just moved across the country. I knew it was coming… and he still got me! This one is for anyone who needs permission to be curious, to take baby steps, to create safety around the wild stuff, and to actually listen when your body is asking for a release. Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets. Much love, Barbie Jean ✨ New here? Welcome to Sweet Release, where we talk connection, healing, pleasure, and the art of being fully, unapologetically YOU.

Root, Rise, & Bloom: A Sweet Escape Meditation

Hi my sweets 💛 Welcome back. This week is a Sweet Escape episode, our little pocket of time to pause, come back to your body, and actually be here. I’m leading you through a guided meditation. We’ll root down into the earth and let those roots expand. Feel your spine strengthen like a sturdy trunk. Then open your branches, your arms, your heart, and bloom. Growing. Learning. Expanding. Loving. Wrapping yourself in love and light, welcoming every beautiful part of your spirit, and honoring who you already are. This one is for anyone who’s been moving too fast, holding too much, or just needs a soft place to land. You don’t have to do anything but breathe. Come sit with me. Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets.

137. I Lost Myself in Love with Maya Kova

Hi my sweets 💛 Welcome back to Sweet Release. Today I’m sitting next to Maya Kova, sensuality coach, tantra goddess, and the kind of woman who will lovingly call you out for disappearing inside a relationship you really wanted. We talk about polarity as a mirror, what it costs to be “always a yes,” and how Maya lost herself along the way. She walks us through her Feminine Throne Method, why pleasure is a spiritual practice, and the wild truth that receiving is actually generous. We get into listening to your body, needs vs. desires, feeling safe (not just physically), and why love is never an excuse to abandon yourself. This episode mostly lives in a woman/man polarity lens, and that’s not the only way this beautiful relationship dance can look. If you lead or receive in ways that don’t match those roles, listen to yourself and your partnership. Connect with Maya: https://consciouslytransform.com/ New here?

136. When Was Your Last Sweet Release? Part 1

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.

135. When the Rules Stop Existing: Polyamory, Body Shame, & Freedom with Chelsea

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 ✨ ─── New here?

134. It Always Comes Back to Presence: Birth, Intimacy, & the Nervous System with Rachel Yellin

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.

133. The Spontaneity Problem: Bringing the Spark Back When Everything Feels Routine

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 ✨ New here? Welcome to Sweet Release, your soft, honest space for real talk about intimacy, relationships, and everything in between.

132. The Body Remembers with Aline

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 New here? Welcome to Sweet Release, where we talk connection, healing, pleasure, and the art of being fully, unapologetically YOU.

131. Binged Off Campus & It Broke Me Open (In the Best Way)

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.

129. The Questions I've Been Avoiding

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 New here?

Spring Equinox Ritual: Let Go & Bloom

Hi my sweets 🌸 This one is a little different. It's a Sweet Escape moment, just for you. With the spring equinox here, I wanted us to take a breath together. This season has been heavy for a lot of us... and I think we deserve a moment to release some of that and welcome in something new. So I'm walking you through a simple little ritual. All you need is a piece of paper and a pen. We're writing two letters together... one to let go of what's been weighing on us, and one to welcome in what we want to bloom. I did mine right alongside you and it felt so, so good. One letter to release. One letter to bloom. The equinox is our doorway, but honestly... that doorway is always there whenever you need it. 🌿 I hope this makes you feel a little lighter today. Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets. Welcome the sweet releases and the sweet escapes whenever it feels right for you.

128. The Landing

Hi my sweets, welcome back! 💛 This one is just you and me. No guest, no interview, just a long overdue catch-up about everything that's been going on since I said farewell to LA. I'm getting real about the move, going out with a bang (literally 🔥), the chaos of driving cross-country with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and what it actually feels like to land somewhere new and not feel like yourself for a while. I opened up about the pace of it all, how some seasons sprint and some crawl, how I expected this fiery, spicy fresh start and instead got something softer and heavier than I imagined. I talked about grieving my grandma, missing hugs, and the moments that unexpectedly sparked my intimacy back to life (thank you, Heated Rivalry 😍 and a little glitter on the wall ✨). This episode is for anyone who's in their own landing right now… a new city, a new chapter, a messy middle that doesn't look like what you pictured. You're not behind. You're not broken. You're just moving at your own pace. Be sweet to yourselves, my sweets. Much love, Barbie Jean New here?

127. Heart Wisdom & Sacred Safety with Molly

Hi my sweets, welcome back! 💛 Meet Molly, a beautiful soul who blends psychology, spirituality, and tantra in the most unexpected way. She opened up about her journey with severe intrusive thoughts, discovering unprocessed trauma beneath the surface, and how she learned to come home to herself through presence and erotic spirituality. We talked about what it really means to feel safe in your body, how to sit with pain instead of brushing it under the rug, and why the glitter on the wall moments matter just as much as the big ones. Molly reminds us that healing doesn't have to be this intense, burn-it-all-down experience. It can be soft and sustainable too. This conversation filled my heart, and I know it's going to resonate with so many of you who are learning to trust yourself again, break old cycles, and find partners who let you shine brighter instead of dimming your light. Be sweet to yourself, stay present, and remember... you're not alone in this. Much love, Barbie Jean ✨ New here?

126. Scalpels, Skin, & Trust with Em

Hi my sweets! 💕 This week's episode is unlike anything we've covered before, and I'm so excited to share it with you. Meet Em, a therapist, educator, and artist who creates beauty through sensation. We dive deep into the world of artistic cutting and needling, exploring how pain can become power, trauma can transform into art, and trust can be built through the most vulnerable experiences. This conversation is raw, educational, and oh, so beautiful. Em reminds us that healing doesn't always look the way we expect it to, and that reclaiming control over our bodies can be the most empowering thing we do. Quick note: we had some technical pauses during filming to wrangle our pups, so forgive any little edits throughout! Be sweet to yourself, stay curious, and remember, your edges are where the magic happens. Thanks again for your patience the last couple weeks as I needed time to grieve my Grandmother’s passing.

125. The Art of Being Unapologetically You with Taylor

Hi my sweets! 💕 Welcome back to another episode of Sweet Release, and oh my goodness, do I have a treat for you today. I sat down with the beautiful Taylor (my second Charleston guest!), and let me tell you, this conversation filled my cup in the best way. (Paara, my sweet pup, agreed... she stayed curled up with us for most of the episode.) Taylor and I dive deep into what it means to truly own who you are, no shame, no apologies, just pure authentic expression. From childhood curiosity to adult exploration, we talk about kink as creative expression, the beauty of non-sexual intimacy, and how being unapologetically yourself attracts the right people into your orbit. We get real about navigating open relationships, communicating boundaries, and why there's no point in faking who you are. Taylor shares her journey of shedding the "should's" and stepping into her full, kinky, beautiful self. This episode is permission to be exactly who you are. Be sweet to yourself, stay curious, and remember: your authenticity is your superpower. ✨ New here? Sweet Release is where we release the shame around pleasure, sexuality, and connection. I create space for honest conversations about what it means to be sexually empowered, emotionally available, and spiritually embodied. Whether you're curious about kink, navigating open relationships, or just want to feel more alive in your body, you're in the right place.
