March 06, 2024 12:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MB

Dive into an episode where vulnerability meets transformation, and authenticity challenges the status quo. Aimee and Ellie, joined by Ellie's insightful husband, Rob, peel back the layers of their personal and professional journeys, revealing the raw, unedited truths that lie beneath the surface.

081: Healing + Honoring Masculinity with Jordan Candlish

September 27, 2023 10:00 - 41 minutes - 41.2 MB

To listen to Jordan Candlish now, you might never guess he was once an ambitious  ladder-climber in the corporate accounting world.    To the outside world, he was the picture of success: achievement, stability, recognition.    But deep down, he knew that staying in that world and doing things the way everyone else did them was actually playing small and safe with his life. He knew he was meant for more.    So he took the leap into his own healing and evolution, and it’s never be...

080: From Sideline Skeptic to Embracing Aliveness with Makayla Davis

September 20, 2023 10:00 - 37 minutes - 53.7 MB

In today’s episode we sat down with our client and a college friend of Aimee’s, Makayla Davis.    She’s in one of our all-time favorite photos taken at a Desire On Fire Live event. She’s crying, fully immersed in a private moment of reckoning, and she’s holding the hand of her good friend.    It’s an image that perfectly encapsulates what we do and why we’re here: to help women thaw out, connect deeply with their aliveness in every area of life, and do it all together, held in a powe...

079: How Attending the Desire on Fire Experience Transformed My Marriage with Prudence Stein-Greene

September 06, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 48.4 MB

We love to hear from our community, and we love to share stories and breakthroughs with you! This work all happens inside of real lives… and there’s no better way to understand its transformative power than hearing directly from the women who have been through our programs and events.   Last year, Prudence Stein-Greene was a successful real estate agent in LA — an extremely high-stress and high-drive industry.   At the time, she was struggling with a business decision, so when a frie...

078: Recovering from Shame + Coming Home to Yourself, with Stefanos Sifandos

July 05, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 64.1 MB

Have you ever had a moment in your life when all your pain and accompanying coping mechanisms finally caught up with you?    When you finally saw with total clarity that if you wanted to be able to have any kind of happiness in life, you’d have to face that pain and find healing?    Our guest today is the relationship and intimacy coach Stefanos Sifandos — and he shares how that moment of getting “caught” forced him to reckon with a lifetime of abuse, fear, shame, and insecurity… and...

077: What’s New in Work, Love + Life in Austin with Aimee + Ellie

June 14, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 140 MB

We’ve taken a break from our podcast lately — not because we don’t love it, but because we realized we just needed to pull back on some aspects of the business to make room for all the change that’s been swirling around us.    So today we’re back, and we’re sharing a deep-dive conversation about what’s been going on in the business, in our relationships, and in our own personal growth as we navigate our transition to Austin together.    As we let the conversation flow, here’s a theme...

076: Healing Religious Trauma and Creating Sexual Freedom

May 31, 2023 10:00 - 56 minutes - 132 MB

One of the things that consistently brings women into the Desire On Fire community is shame.    Shame around sex for sure — wanting it, knowing what you want, asking out loud for what you want (often the most difficult and vulnerable part of our journey).    But it’s not just about sexual shame. It’s also about shame around all kinds of desire — for any kind of pleasure, fun, abundance, agency, freedom, or satisfaction.    Where does this shame come from? And how is it that even ...

075: “Where Are All the Good Men?” with Kevin Hermann

March 29, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 94.3 MB

You know how we love to invite men onto our podcast, and today’s guest brings a ton of depth, insight, and honesty around the male perspective.    Kevin Hermann is a highly skilled and experienced coach, specializing in business, leadership, and life coaching. He’s led over 25 in-person retreats (that’s a LOT of retreats!!).   But so much more than all these credentials and accomplishments, what you get from Kevin is just the transparency he brings to this conversation. He shares ope...

074: Inner Circle Q&A Call: How to Recognize When You’re Playing Games— and Stop for Good

March 22, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 146 MB

We’ve got another incredible Inner Circle Q&A call for you today!    As so often happens, there is a common thread that winds its way through all these powerful shares today.    Whether it’s being a caretaker for an ailing family member, dealing with old patterns in your family dynamics, navigating the fear and tenderness of a new relationship, or living in the tension of taking on bold new things…    … today’s brave women are all dealing in some way or another with what it means...

073: How Expressing Your Anger Opens You to Real Love, with Tanai Milgram

March 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 152 MB

In her “before doing the work” life, this is what Tanai Milgram said about herself: My whole life, I was so proud that no guy ever hurt me, that I was always the one to run away or catch the asshole before he hurt me.    She’d left a trail of dozens of broken hearts in her wake … but she felt more alone and angry than ever.    Like a lot of girls, Tanai grew up with the conditioning that it wasn’t okay for her to express her full range of emotion. Being kind, sweet, and compliant was...

072: Toys, Anal, and Shameless Sex with Amy Baldwin + April Lampert

March 01, 2023 11:00 - 57 minutes - 134 MB

It’s not every day you hear about someone getting her start in the world of sexual education by opening up a sex shop with her mom — but if there’s one word to describe our guests today, it’s definitely “unconventional.”    Amy Baldwin is a Certified Sexuality Educator with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Human Sexuality from San Francisco State University. In 2008, she opened Pure Pleasure Shop with her mother in Santa Cruz, CA.    Their first employee was April Lampert… and t...

071: How to Stay Connected to Others as You Change + Grow

February 22, 2023 11:00 - 59 minutes - 138 MB

Today we’re giving you another peek behind-the-scenes, into a call with some of our inner circle clients.    And there must be something in the air, because this call definitely seemed to have a theme: navigating unknowns, holding tension in the in-between, and nurturing connection in our existing relationships as we’re changing.    Here’s something that not a lot of people talk about in transformational work: it can be lonely at times.    Yes, there are the highs. Moments of tot...

070: Pleasure, Sex + Happiness at Any Age, with Laurie Handlers

February 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 163 MB

If you’ve ever felt yourself buying into the cultural idea that sexiness, play, and pleasure fizzle after a certain age … then stop everything you’re doing and listen to this episode!    Today we’re thrilled to have Tantra expert and international bestselling author Laurie Handlers on the show, and what an incredible conversation this is.    Laurie is full of fire — you can feel it. It’s in her body, her voice, her stories. She oozes confidence and total Pleasure Queen energy.    ...

069: The Real Shit You Talk About in Sisterhood

February 01, 2023 11:00 - 52 minutes - 124 MB

We’re doing something we’ve never done on the podcast before!    We know that real sisterhood is medicine. The vulnerability, the intimacy, the no-BS reflections — this is the stuff that heals, expands, and empowers like nothing else.    The Inner Circle is a paid membership for women that have been working with us for years: graduates of our Pleasure Mastery Program, retreats, or leadership programs. And each month, we do a real-time Q&A with the biggest things they’re facing.    ...

068: A Deep Dive with Yoni Whisperer Shaft Uddin

January 25, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 148 MB

Today we’re diving deep with the sexy, playful Shaft Uddin!    At Desire on Fire, we always say that healing one area of your life never stays in that one area.    That’s why when you work on expanding your desire, pleasure, and connection in your sex life, you find yourself with more of all of that in the rest of your life, too.    You begin to see powerful shifts in your romantic relationships, your work, your finances, and your sense of self-love. It’s all connected!    Fo...

067: We’re back from our hiatus and we’re in Austin!

January 11, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 95.1 MB

We’re back after a 2-month hiatus from podcasting, blogging, promo-ing, and social media … and we’re feeling GREAT.    A lot has changed in those two months. Like a LOT.   For one, we (Aimee, Ellie, Rob, and Bear) left LA and are now all living together in Austin, TX. And that’s just the tip of the massive change iceberg.    Throughout the last several months, we’ve been slowly passing through what feels like a major portal.    It’s been an initiation into what it really mean...

066: Balancing Business and a New Baby with Boss Mama Mel Wells

November 16, 2022 21:34 - 1 hour - 87.4 MB

If you’re an ambitious woman like our guest today (and like both Aimee and Ellie), you might know how easy it is to confuse your work with your worth.  It’s so easy to get caught up in hustle and the masculine energy of go go go that we forget ourselves — our bodies, our desires, our wellbeing. The feminine path isn’t just about appreciating our amazing bodies (though that’s definitely part of it) and reconnecting with our desire and pleasure (also a huge component).  It’s about how su...

065: Deep Dive into the Erotic Blueprints with Danielle Hatton

November 09, 2022 15:00 - 45 minutes - 106 MB

Have you ever wished there was a 5 Love Languages … but for sex?    You know: a way to know what nourishes you in the bedroom, what turns you on (and off), what turns your partner on (and off), what would lead to the most fulfilling, most satisfying sex you could possibly have.    That’s what the Erotic Blueprints deliever!    When you know your erotic blueprint, you finally have a language to understand and communicate how you relate to eroticism. You’ll be better able to commun...

064: Next Level Life, Next Level Wardrobe — a Workshop with Celebrity Stylist Elissa Williams

November 02, 2022 09:44 - 54 minutes - 78 MB

Are you hiding your true personal style “in the closet”? What are you denying your true style desires — because you feel like they’re too much, or not enough, or that your body isn’t “right” enough yet to wear what you want to wear?    Celebrity stylist Elissa Williams (and stylist for Aimee and Ellie at the Desire on Fire Experience!) believes fashion is way more than just clothes and trends.    It’s a tool for self-expression, empowerment, and manifestation in our lives. It’s a way...

063: All the Details of Aimee’s RelationSHIFT with Alex

October 26, 2022 10:00 - 55 minutes - 79.3 MB

We know many of you have been following Aimee’s unconventional adventures with Alex over the last three months.    From the Tantra retreat that was their first date to the 10 days in Australia that was their second, nothing about Aimee and Alex’s experience has been ordinary.    Their chemistry was palpable right off the bat, their connection felt real, and they definitely shared important things in common: personal growth work, embodied practices, coaching, and embracing a spirit of...

062: Doing Less, Living Cyclically + Experiencing More “Yum” With Kate Northrup

October 19, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 134 MB

In our culture, we tend to think of “success” as linear, and we measure it by “more” — more money, more stuff, bigger numbers, more followers, more work.    But when we look at the natural world, we don’t see linearity anywhere. It’s ALL seasons and cycles. Rest + work. Growing + birthing. Sowing + harvest.    So … why do we insist on running our lives by a measurement that is SO out of sync with our bodies, our souls, and literally all of nature and reality?    And why are we su...

061: Unhooking From Body Judgment & Embracing Our Beauty with Danielle Hatton

October 12, 2022 10:00 - 42 minutes - 99.5 MB

If you met Danielle, you’d see an absolutely gorgeous, vivacious woman. And if you spent any amount of time talking to her, you’d immediately notice her depth, her curiosity, and her natural healing energy.    But like so many of us, she’s spent a lifetime dealing with the shadow of body insecurity — picking up on societal messages, mirroring her own mother’s struggles, being steeped in beauty and dance culture.    It wasn’t until she started diving into her work with Desire on Fire ...

060: Behind-The-Scenes With Aimee And Ellie: The Highs And Lows Of Creating The Desire On Fire Experience

October 05, 2022 16:21 - 32 minutes - 74 MB

One of the foundational values of the work we do, and the work we love guiding other women through, is radical honesty.    And both of us have realized recently that we need to reconnect with this value when it comes to our struggles trying to “make it happen” with the upcoming Desire on Fire Live event at the end of October.    Because here’s the deal: it’s been a hard, challenging, stressful year of planning. And we weren’t expecting that. In fact, we were expecting it to be smooth...

059: You Haven’t ‘Lost’ Your Libido, and It’s Not More Orgasms You’re Actually Craving: Radical Honesty & Real Sexual Healing with Elena Rossi

September 28, 2022 18:20 - 1 hour - 157 MB

In her early 20s, Elena Rossi spent 7 years dealing with chronic vaginal pain, yeast infections, and UTIs. She saw 22 doctors, tried all kinds of meds and creams — and nothing was working. The pain was actually getting worse.   In all her visits to doctors of all kinds, all the questions were about her body. No one ever asked her about her relationship, or the quality of sex with her then-boyfriend, or if she felt safe or loved. No one ever asked, How is your heart?    It took her p*...

058: How to Live Your Human Design as a Projector with Ellie & Christen Hillmer

September 21, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MB

If you’re a Projector (or you have Projectors in your life and you want to understand/support them better) — then today’s episode is for you!    In this conversation, Ellie connects with Christen Hillmer, a coach and healer who is part of Desire on Fire community. She’s a recent graduate of our Apprenticeship Program— and she also happens to be a Projector.    Here’s why this conversation is so important right now: Projectors only make up about 20% of the population, but are essentia...

057: Getting Honest About the Light & Shadow of the Body-Positivity Movement with Rinsha Ballani

September 14, 2022 10:00 - 52 minutes - 75.5 MB

Is it possible to truly, genuinely, passionately love your body … AND also want to change it?    Does desiring change mean you don’t fully accept your body?    In a cultural movement that’s all about cultivating self-love, it can actually feel weird and shameful to want to change our bodies — whether it’s by losing weight, gaining weight, working out, cosmetic procedures, or plastic surgery.    The result can be a kind of forced silence around the deep longings we might have, and...

056: Good News: You Literally Can’t F*ck This Up, With Jamie King

September 07, 2022 10:00 - 53 minutes - 76.1 MB

In early 2020, Jamie King was a rising star — an overnight sensation in the biz marketing world, landing 6-figure months like it was nothing and living in the limelight.    She was also falling apart — stretched way too thin, trying to be everything to everyone, traveling all the time, doing constant hustle + grind when what she really desired was to be home with her kids.    So for her, the lockdown was a godsend. It forced her to slow down. Take stock. Get back to the basics. Ask h...

055: Ellie Shares Her Amazing Birth Story!

August 31, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 87.8 MB

Waiting for Bear’s arrival involved months of preparation for Ellie and her husband Rob. They had a plan for a natural birth at home, including hiring a midwife and doula, taking special birthing classes, and creating a birthing plan (complete with playlists!).    Then … the birth happened. And Bear, it seems, definitely had some different ideas about how and when he wanted to arrive in this world.   We talk a lot about surrender in this work — that sacred way we know we can trust wh...

054: Opening Up to Conscious Non-Monogamy with Jessica Esfandiary

August 24, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 89 MB

Our culture often tells one story about how relationships are “supposed” to look. It can be hard for us to feel into possibilities beyond the traditional cultural understanding of monogamy.    Non-monogamy is often portrayed as selfish, or as one partner caving to the wishes of the other — like the trope of the woman who begrudgingly agrees to a threesome so her man won’t leave her.    So it’s understandable that many couples reject exploring outside-the-box desires, because it can f...

053: Healing Your Pussy Shame with Kara Baruzzini

August 17, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 108 MB

Almost no experience is so universal and so painful to women as shame about our bodies.    And for millions of women, the shame about our vulvas is one of the deepest wounds we feel.    Many of us have a moment where we felt that something was wrong or broken about our pussies:    we didn’t look like the images we saw porn we internalized disparaging comments from boys or men around us growing up we felt pressured to alter the appearance of our pussies (shaving, waxing, obsess...

052: Good-bye Good Girl, with Tanner and Maci Shelden

August 10, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

To hear Maci Shelden talk today, you might never imagine where she was in her early 20s: playing the part, hanging out and drinking with high school and college friends, always bending over backwards for everyone, trying so hard to get it right and be a good girl.    Underneath it all, she felt lonely and disconnected, like she was always pretending or putting on a show. She knew there had to be more to life than just going through the motions.    And she was right!    Maci has b...

051: Powerful & Sexy Money-Manifesting with Gina Swire

August 03, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 62.9 MB

If you’re ready to seriously up your money-manifesting mojo, then you are going to LOVE today’s episode with the incomparable and magnetic Gina Swire!   Gina is an internationally acclaimed self-love expert celebrated for her humorous and transformative speaking style and wildly popular self-love courses.    And she understands — and powerfully embodies — a truth that we hold dear at Desire on Fire: at the heart of living your desires is knowing that you’re worthy to receive every go...

050: Behind the Scenes of the Desire on Fire business — a Human Design Reading for Aimee and Ellie with Travis Day

July 27, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 97.4 MB

Things at Desire on Fire have been in HUGE flux this year. Have you felt it, too?!   Ellie had her baby and took maternity leave. Aimee stepped into full-time management of the company while Ellie was away. Two new roles for both of them, both large and demanding in their own ways.   They’ve also been feeling into something new in this time: there are areas of day-to-day management of the company that neither one of them wants to lean into. In fact, these tasks now feel draining, exh...

049: All the juicy details of Aimee's 7-day couples’ Tantra retreat with Alex Waters!

July 20, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 136 MB

A couple of weeks ago, I told you that I’d invited a guy I’d met once to join me for a 7-day tantra retreat for couples.    I’d been wanting to go on another Tantra retreat for a while, and I felt so called to this retreat for couples, even though I’m not currently in a relationship. And then I felt pulled to invite Alex Waters, even though I barely knew him at all.    I know, I know: on the surface, it doesn’t make sense.    But I’ve learned something so important in these last ...

048: Your feminine energy is rocket fuel for manifestation, with Kim Mellor

July 13, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 151 MB

My friend Kim Mellor is a total powerhouse. She’s a manifestation queen, a coach, a podcaster, a changer of lives.    She was so used to harnessing her masculine side — the doer, the achiever, the get-er-done mentality. She had mastered mindset and business strategies for success.    But she said she always felt like something was missing. There was a part of her that was hidden away. Suffocated, tamped down, numbed.    Like a lot of Brits, she was shy about talking about sex and...

047: Embracing Low Periods & Sobriety as a Key to Experiencing True Desire with Paige Wilhide

July 06, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB

We’re often conditioned to see an intense “down” — time of loss, grief, anger, struggle, jealousy, betrayal, stuck-ness — as something we need to get past as quickly as possible so we can get back to having fun and experiencing pleasure.    Our culture says that feeling “up” is good and feeling “down” is bad, which can lead us to compulsive behaviors that momentarily make us feel good — even when they’re not healthy for us long-term and actually pull us away from the things we say we wan...

046: Excavating Your Shadows with Adrian Ellison

June 29, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 142 MB

One of the biggest struggles of the personal/spiritual growth community right now is the tendency to trip into spiritual bypassing.    The wounded parts of ourselves are too painful, so people default to nothing but “love and light!”    Adrian Ellison is here to disrupt that unhealthy tendency. She’s a modern-day medicine woman out of Austin TX who understands that the Shadow is a critical part of our wholeness. When we deny it, it doesn’t go away. It runs the show. Only when we allo...

045: Staying Sexy While Parenting, with Megan Lambert & James Mattingley

June 22, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 78.6 MB

Staying emotionally, physically, sexually, and spiritually intimate is challenging enough for any of us, at any time in life.    But add to that mix a newborn — with the sleep deprivation, body changes, constant outflow of energy and limited inflow, and the vulnerability of needing so many new things and making so many adjustments — and the dance of intimacy takes on many unexpected steps.    So how do you keep the dance sexy? How do you stay sensual, playful, and open while navigati...

044: Aimee's First Sex with a Woman!

June 15, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 65.3 MB

This is Aimee, and I recently had an experience that was exciting, expanding, and full of surprises of all kinds — my first time having sex with another woman.    This felt like a big deal for a number of reasons (which I share in this episode), so I invited my dear friend Kelley Bode back to the podcast to interview me and have a real, no-holds-barred convo about this encounter.    In this episode, you’ll get it all: the draw I couldn’t deny, the ways I felt challenged, how I stayed...

043: Maiden, Mother, Badass Entrepreneur—Identity & Biz with Cait Scudder

June 08, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 147 MB

The incomparable Cait Scudder joined us in March, in her 3rd trimester with her second baby — and she is ALIVE with wisdom, clarity, and the real power of a woman who knows who she is and who is willing to hold and share the fullness of her true self.    In 2017, Cait was a scrappy solopreneur expat in Bali. She’d moved there to be with her now-husband Toby, trying to get a side hustle going, not quite sure where she belonged and seriously struggling with imposter syndrome.    Five y...

042: Pregnancy Q&A with Ellie (recorded live in our Inner Circle Membership!)

June 01, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 89.9 MB

If you’ve experienced the journey of pregnancy or have been curious about it, you’ve probably already noticed how fraught it can be. There are so many opinions, voices, and expectations out there about what to do, what not to do, what to eat, and how it all “should” be.    What if there’s a way to step outside all those clamoring cultural voices and just tune inward?    As you know, our very own Ellie just had her baby on May 23rd!    In this unique Q&A (while she was still pregn...

041: Bringing Care and Consciousness to Relationship Conflict with Bryan Reeves

May 25, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MB

We love inviting aligned male energy into the Desire on Fire orbit!     Bryan Reeves is a former US Air Force Captain — a man’s man in the eyes of the world who grew up with all the emotion-denying messages that young American boys and men grow up with.    After a debilitating heartbreak in his late 20s, he finally decided to undertake the huge journey back to himself. He learned how to break free from the damaging social conditioning that was keeping him from experiencing real love ...

040: 3 Women Share Their Real Desire On Fire Experience

May 18, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 167 MB

You’ve heard us (Ellie and Aimee) talk a lot about the live Desire on Fire Experience — but what are the actual experiences of women who have attended?    In this episode, we dive into a conversation with Jeanette, Caitlin, and Rachelle — three amazing past Desire on Fire Experience attendees. These women all came to The Experience from very different places. They were in varying seasons of life, had individual longings and struggles, and (as you’ll hear) all had distinct responses to sp...
