Categories: Health, Fitness, Sexuality, Society, Culture, Relationships, Education
Hosted by Kayla Moore, Certified Sex Therapist, Coach, and sovereign guide for the women warriors rising, this podcast explores what it means to lead with soft power in a world built on burnout, domination, and disconnection. Through intimate solo reflections and soul stirring conversations with healers, visionaries, and creators, we are weaving a new paradigm rooted in embodiment, love, and connection. Because pleasure is not separate from life. It is what connects us. To ourselves. To each other. To the rhythms of nature and the truth of who we are. If you have ever felt disconnected from your desires, unsure...

The Shed Retreat: A Journey into Pleasure, Power & Renewal with Shauna Stewart
Oct 24, 2025In this episode, I’m joined by intimacy coach and dear friend Shauna Stewart to weave together the story, spirit, and sacred purpose behind our upcoming Shed Retreat on Vashon Island.
We explore what it means to shed as a collective act of liberation—how our personal unraveling and release becomes part of the wider transformation happening in the collective consciousness. Each woman who remembers her pleasure and her body becomes a thread in the great weaving of the new world we’re co-creating.
This conversation is about the wisdom of shedding—of dissolving what’s outdated...
Duration: 00:48:23Collective Consciousness, AI, and the Return to Community: A New Moon Reflection
Oct 22, 2025In this episode, I’m reflecting on the shifts happening in our collective consciousness — the ways we are being called to wake up, remember, and reorient ourselves toward love, community, and embodied truth.
I share the threads I’ve been weaving together lately — from AI and the numbing of our senses, to the hunger for deeper connection and the re-emergence of feminine wisdom on the planet. I talk about how attention has become our most valuable currency, and what it means to reclaim that attention as sacred — to root it back into pleasure, presence, and purpose.
This epi...

Oct 17, 2025In this bonus episode, I’m reflecting on the upcoming No Kings Day rallies happening across the U.S. and beyond this Saturday, October 18th, 2025. This is a powerful moment to show up for democracy — to stand for human rights, freedom, and community — and to do it with love, joy, and pleasure.
I share how I’ll be attending my local rally in Gig Harbor, WA, and how I’m weaving joy, music, and even motherhood into activism. Whether you’re marching, driving by to honk in solidarity, or creating art and song from home, you are part of this...
Duration: 00:08:08The Embodied Path to Power with Cheryl Stelte: Healing, Pleasure & Feminine Rising
Oct 17, 2025Welcome back, my loves, to the Connect to Pleasure podcast. In today’s conversation with Cheryl Stelte, we explore what it truly means to return to our power — not the performative kind that seeks validation or control, but the embodied power that radiates from deep within.
Cheryl shares her ACE Method for empowerment — Awareness, Choice, and Embodiment — and we dive into how these steps help us reclaim sovereignty over our bodies, our relationships, and our pleasure. We talk about the difference between masculine “doing” energy and feminine “being” energy, and how the balance of both is essential for healing and...

Oct 12, 2025Welcome back, my loves, to the Connected Pleasure Podcast. I’m Kayla, your host (she/her), and we’ve finally arrived — it’s the last day of open cart for my 1:1 Connected Pleasure Coaching program.

I break down the flow of each teaching session — from Gathering the Threads (your sexual history and story) to Guarding the Loom (boun...
Duration: 00:18:40Weaving Pleasure as Resistance
Oct 11, 2025Welcome back, beloveds. In this episode, I’m grounding us in why I do this work — why weaving pleasure back into the fabric of our lives is not just personal healing, but collective resistance. I share a story about the imbalance of modern work culture and how deeply it disconnects us from softness, rest, and embodiment — the very places where pleasure lives.
I explore how our society’s obsession with productivity and “proving ourselves” keeps us in constant fight-or-flight, far from the nourishment our bodies crave. And I speak to the bigger web — how personal pleasure, body reclamation, a...
Duration: 00:19:53The Descent of Inanna: She Removed Her Armor — Will You?
Oct 11, 2025In this episode, I share one of my favorite sacred feminine myths — the story of Inanna, the goddess who descended into the underworld.
As Inanna journeys downward, she is asked to remove one layer of her power at each of the seven gates — her crown, her jewelry, her robes — until she stands completely bare. It’s in that vulnerable place that she dies… and is reborn.
This story has lived in my bones for years because it mirrors the feminine path of healing and reclamation.
We, too, are asked to shed the armor that once...
Duration: 00:22:38You Belong Here: Inclusivity, Pleasure, and the Feminine
Oct 10, 2025Welcome back, my loves. In today’s episode, I wanted to take a pause from the logistics of open cart week to speak from the heart — about inclusivity, belonging, and the feminine.
I often get asked if I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly, and the answer is a wholehearted yes. While my 1:1 coaching container focuses on women, that includes anyone who identifies as a woman or femme. This space is open to all identities, orientations, and relationship structures — queer, polyamorous, monogamous, kinky, or anywhere in between.
My work is deeply sex-positive and grounded in consent, curiosity, and connecti...
Duration: 00:12:15You Deserve Pleasure — Claiming Your Right to Feel Good
Oct 10, 2025In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most tender and transformative truths of all — that you deserve pleasure. Whether you’ve ever wondered if sex or sensuality is really “for you,” or felt that your role was to give rather than receive, this conversation is for you.
I share how deeply ingrained beliefs about women’s worth, love, and sexuality have shaped our connection to our bodies — and how we can begin to unlearn those patterns. This is about reclaiming your relationship to desire, remembering that your pleasure is sacred, and allowing yourself to receive the no...
Duration: 00:15:13Saying Yes to Your Pleasure: Navigating Partner Support and Investing in Yourself
Oct 09, 2025Welcome back to the Connected Pleasure Podcast, my loves. In this episode, I’m talking about a topic I know can feel tricky—how to say yes to your own healing and pleasure work when you have a partner. I share my perspective on why investing in yourself is worth it and how to navigate those conversations with your partner if money or support feels like a potential barrier.
We also dive into the ripple effects of prioritizing yourself—how rising in your own love, safety, and pleasure actually benefits everyone around you. I reflect on the histor...
Duration: 00:10:06The Sacred Feminine and the Journey Back to Pleasure
Oct 09, 2025Welcome back, my loves.

I know there’s been a lot of information shared this week as I open the doors to my 1:1 coaching container, so today I’m guiding you through a grounding practice — an invitation to feel your feet on the earth, your breath in your body, and the safety that already lives within you.
I also share more about how my work weaves together my background in sexualit...
Duration: 00:26:02Why “Spicing It Up” Isn’t the Solution
Oct 08, 2025Have you tried everything to bring back your desire — the toys, the books, the lingerie — and still feel like something’s missing?
In this episode, I talk about why quick fixes and “upping the ante” often don’t address what’s really blocking your pleasure. Together, we explore how disconnection in intimacy is often rooted in safety, shame, and old beliefs — not a lack of effort.
You’ll learn how to move beyond surface-level solutions and begin healing from the inside out, with compassion, awareness, and sacred curiosity.

Duration: 00:10:18You Deserve More Than “It’s Fine”
Oct 08, 2025Many women have been taught to settle for “fine.”
Fine relationships. Fine sex. Fine intimacy.
But what if fine is actually a form of self-abandonment?
In today’s episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I explore one of the most common barriers to healing our relationship with sex and intimacy — the belief that pleasure isn’t important, or that life can go on just fine without it.
You’ll be invited to question what “fine” has cost you, and to imagine what might open if you gave yourself permission to want more — not more...
Duration: 00:16:37Creating Space for Pleasure and Presence
Oct 07, 2025In this episode, I’m speaking to one of the most common hesitations I hear when women are considering deep, embodied healing work:
“I just don’t have time for this."
We live in a world that glorifies busyness — that rewards production and punishes rest. But here’s the truth: your healing requires space.
This journey isn’t about adding another thing to your overflowing to-do list. It’s about creating room to breathe, to feel, to reconnect with your body and your pleasure.
In this episode, I explore:
✨ Why slowing down...

Today’s episode is about something that comes up for so many of the women I work with: the fear of being vulnerable — especially when it comes to talking about sex.
For many of us, sex was either never talked about growing up or it was actively shamed. So opening up about it — even with a compassionate, nonjudgmental professional — can feel terrify...

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest myths I hear from women:
“I need a partner before I can do this kind of work.”
The truth is — you don’t need a partner to begin reclaiming your pleasure. This work is actually meant to begin...

Oct 03, 2025Welcome back, loves. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing everything you need to know about my 1:1 Connected Pleasure Coaching container.
Over the last six mini-episodes, I’ve explored the “why” — why someone would enter this program, what barriers it helps dissolve, and the transformations it opens up. Today, I’m sharing the “how”: the structure, the sessions, and the deep intention woven into this container.

Duration: 00:40:12When Sex Feels Painful: Finding Hope and Reclaiming Pleasure
Oct 02, 2025So many women quietly carry the weight of painful sex—and with it, the fear, shame, and disconnection that pain can bring. If sex feels uncomfortable, or even unbearable, it makes sense that desire feels far away.
In this episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I explore how pain impacts intimacy and why it’s not your fault if you’ve struggled in this area. While pelvic floor physical therapists can support the physical side, my 1:1 coaching container creates space to gently unravel the fear, tension, and narratives that often fuel pain. Together, we work on rebuilding trust...
Duration: 00:13:03Living from the Neck Up: Why Pleasure Requires Embodiment
Oct 01, 2025In this mini-episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I’m diving into what it means to live “from the neck up”—stuck in our heads, disconnected from our bodies, and unable to fully access pleasure.
So many of us have been conditioned to distrust our bodies, to push down emotions, and to operate only from the mind. But true pleasure, presence, and intimacy require embodiment. Together, we’ll explore:
Why our culture keeps us in our heads and away from our bodiesThe impact of anxiety, negative beliefs, and shame on pleasureHow somatic practices help you feel safe enoug... Duration: 00:12:17Coming Home to Your Body: Healing Shame & Reclaiming Pleasure
Sep 30, 2025So many women struggle with feeling disconnected from their bodies — carrying shame, anxiety, or even disgust around their appearance or pleasure. From childhood diet culture to the male gaze to trauma and dissociation, we are taught to mistrust, disconnect from, or even reject our own bodies.
In this mini episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I share why body disconnection is one of the biggest barriers to pleasure and how my 1:1 coaching container helps you gently shift into safety, worthiness, and sacred embodiment. Together, we work to release shame, reclaim your body as divine, and open space fo...

Sep 26, 2025In this expansive conversation with Dr. Kristin Allott, we explore how our modern world shapes our relationship to pleasure, attention, and our bodies — and what it takes to reclaim them.
We talk about how screens hijack dopamine, why boredom is essential for creativity, and how we can shift from being consumers of life to active creators of joy and meaning. Kristin also shares her holistic approach to health and well-being, blending neuroscience, naturopathic medicine, and a deep respect for the body.
Together, we dive into:

Duration: 01:08:27You Are Not Broken: Reclaiming Pleasure & Coming Home to Your Body
Sep 25, 2025So many women come to me feeling like they are broken when it comes to desire, intimacy, or accessing pleasure. Whether it’s a sudden drop in desire, difficulty experiencing pleasure, or a lifelong disconnection from sexuality, society often reinforces the painful belief that something is “wrong” with you.
In this mini episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I share how my 1:1 coaching container creates space for women to explore these barriers with compassion, safety, and softness. Together we dismantle the belief of brokenness, uncover root causes like trauma, anxiety, or life transitions, and begin rewiring the nervou...

Sep 24, 2025Is sex a chore? You’re not alone.
In this mini-episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I share one of the most common struggles women bring into my work: sex feels like another item on the to-do list. Instead of being regenerative and connective, it feels draining — another way of giving without receiving.
I open up about my own experience of this during grad school, and how stress and disconnection can make intimacy feel impossible. I also walk you through how my 1:1 coaching container helps women shift from obligation to liberation — reclaiming sex as a source...

Right now, the world feels heavy. Collectively, we’re grieving, awakening, and shifting into new ways of being. This is the moment to root ourselves back into pleasure — not just for our own healing, but for the ripple it creates in the collective.
