  • 💔 Why You Crave Intimacy But Panic When You Actually Get It
    Jul 1 2025

    You want closeness. You initiate the sex. You start the deep conversation. And then… you ghost. Or pull away. Or shut down. Or spiral and convince yourself he doesn’t really love you.

    Sound familiar?

    In this episode, Courtney dives into the complex, chaotic, oh-so-relatable world of disorganised attachment—also known as anxious-avoidant attachment.

    It’s the style no one talks about… But nearly every high-achieving, overthinking woman secretly lives inside of.

    What you'll learn in this episode:

    • The real reason you flip-flop between wanting deep connection and needing space
    • How anxious and avoidant traits can show up in the same nervous system
    • What early emotional unpredictability teaches us about love, vulnerability, and safety
    • How this shows up in marriage, conflict, and the bedroom (yep, even mid-thrust)
    • Practical signs this attachment style is running the show—and how to start spotting it before it wrecks your connection

    You’ll especially relate if:

    • You open up one day… and feel emotionally hungover the next
    • You initiate intimacy but panic as soon as it starts to feel real
    • You say “I just need space,” then spiral when your partner actually gives it to you
    • You secretly fear that closeness = loss of control

    Key Message: You’re not too much. You’re not confusing. You’re not cold or clingy. You’re just someone who’s never been shown what safe, stable love actually feels like.

    And babe—now that you see the pattern? You can start to change it.

  • Avoidant But Achieving: Why High-Functioning Women Keep Intimacy at Arm’s Length
    Jun 24 2025

    So, you're the strong one. The capable one. The “I’m fine, don’t worry about me” one.

    But here’s the truth no one told you: Avoidant attachment doesn’t mean you don’t want love. It means love feels like it might cost you your freedom.

    In this juicy, note-folding, heart-spilling solo episode, Courtney unpacks what avoidant attachment actually looks like for high-achieving women who are thriving in business… but shutting down at home.

    We dive into:

    • The high-functioning habits masking your intimacy struggles (hello, overworking + emotional distance)
    • Why “I’m fine” is your favourite lie
    • The real reason your nervous system craves independence over intimacy
    • How avoidant attachment shows up in the bedroom (and why it’s not about low libido)
    • Courtney’s proven method for building connection without feeling engulfed
    • Why Afterglow™ is the container for unlearning performance-based love without losing your edge

    If you’ve ever ghosted mid-conflict (emotionally or literally), felt guilty for needing space, or hate being vulnerable unless it’s on your terms—this one is for you.

    ✨ Bonus Nugget: Healing avoidant attachment isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about learning to stay—present, soft, powerful—even when it gets uncomfortable.

  • The Real Reason Sex Feels Like a Performance (Hint: It’s Not Just Porn Culture)
    Jun 4 2025

    You’ve got the candles lit, the laundry folded, and maybe even the lube nearby… So why does sex still feel like something you’re performing instead of something you’re enjoying?

    In this unfiltered, juicy AF episode, I take you on a real-talk car ride (yep, nips freezing and all) to unpack the truth most women never get taught:

    If you’re obsessing over your angles, your sounds, or whether you’re “doing it right”—you’re not broken. You’re conditioned.

    We dive into:

    • The link between performance-based love and your bedroom confidence
    • What childhood praise (or the lack of it) has to do with your moaning habits
    • Why so many high-achieving women over-function in the bedroom just like they do in business
    • The anxious spiral when he skips a “good morning” text—and how that’s your attachment style talking
    • How to spot (and stop) performance sex patterns before they wreck your pleasure

    Whether you’re the “praise me or I panic” type, or just sick of overthinking sex like it’s a bloody KPI, this episode will help you pause, unpack, and actually start to enjoy intimacy again.

    It's cheeky. It’s vulnerable. And it might just be your bedroom breakthrough.

  • The Sexy Side I Had to Bury: What Policing Taught Me About Shame, Safety & Sensuality
    May 20 2025

    This episode wasn’t planned. It poured out of me. And it might be one of the most important ones I’ve ever recorded.

    I’m sharing the part of my story I never thought I would: How working in the police force made me shut down my sensuality… Not because of trauma—but because sex started to feel unsafe. Because expressing desire made me a target. Because being bold, feminine, and flirty in that world came at a cost.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • 💥 Why I stopped expressing my sexual side—even in my own marriage
    • 💔 What I saw inside the force that changed how I viewed intimacy
    • 🔥 How I finally got her back—the unapologetic, turned-on, magnetic version of me
    • 💎 Why The Iconic Femme Experience™ is more than just a program—it’s a homecoming

    If you’ve ever felt like you had to tone it down to be taken seriously… If you’ve ever missed the wild, creative, sensual part of you… If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s done the work but still feels disconnected… This episode will speak to you.

  • 😮‍💨 Good Girls Don’t Moan (and Other Lies Holding You Back in Business + Bed)
    May 14 2025

    In this spicy solo ep, I’m pulling back the covers on something a lot of you have been quietly thinking: “I don’t know what I need… I just know I need something.”

    Let’s talk about that.

    In this episode, I share:

    • What women actually come to me for (spoiler: it’s deeper than sex)
    • Why bedroom confidence is the exact same energy you need in the boardroom
    • Two real client stories that prove you can go from awkward AF to absolutely magnetic
    • The toxic “Good Girl” conditioning that’s making you shrink—and how we’re breaking that spell
    • How this all links to the new program I’ve got coming (psst… you’re the first to hear about it 👀)

    If you’ve ever felt like a confident woman on the outside but an unsure mess behind closed doors… this one’s for you. We’re done playing small. We’re done being polite. And we’re definitely done faking it.

    🎯 DM me “GOOD GIRL” on Instagram if you want first dibs on the next round of this work.
