Sex, Love & Money with Rebecca Antonucci

How many times today have you said "fine" when you weren't? We were all taught to play the middle C. Fine. Good. Okay. But you have 88 keys, and playing only one for your entire life is what Mama Gina calls the formaldehyde of the soul. Regen Thomashauer - known to the world as Mama Gena - is a New York Times bestselling author, pleasure revolutionary, and one of the most alive human beings I have ever sat across from. She has spent 30 years teaching women to choose their pleasure, connect to their bodies, and leave what she calls Planet Patriarchy, and she's made millions, written five books, and raised a beautiful daughter doing it. In this episode she turns the mic on me. I tell her about the ex I haven't been happy for in 13 years. She tells me I haven't healed it because I haven't actually grieved it. And then she makes me have a full temper tantrum and express my rage erotically live on my own podcast, and I have to say, it opened something for me. We get into why falling apart is the portal, why your body is more powerful than your mind, why "fine" is keeping you smaller than you are, and why the woman who chooses her pleasure first gets to have it all. This one cracked something open in me. I think it'll do the same for you. Find Mama Gena: @mamagena on Instagram.

There is a difference between a woman who is ready for a man, and a woman who is ready for her match. The first woman can go out right now and get a boyfriend. That's not hard. But the woman who is ready for her match doesn't go out and get him. She becomes ready for him. She becomes the signal he can find. Because you can't go and get your match, you can only become an energetic match to him. That's the hill I'm dying on. And this episode is the why. I know you love my storytelling, and in today's episode I get vulnerable about a recent dating experience. On our final evening together I asked him for feedback. He told me my sex expectations were too high. That it's realistic for a woman not to orgasm 10 to 20% of the time. I tell you exactly what I said, what I realized in that moment, and why any man who is not your match will hear your standards and feel pressure, while your king will hear them and feel curious. Little boys take your standards as pressure. Kings see them as a map. Apply to work with Rebecca in Breakthrough School by booking your introductory call here.

We answered your most burning dating questions. You sent in your messiest, most confusing, most painful dating situations, and we answered every single one. Amy Rushworth is back for a Q&A episode, and this one goes places. Eight real DMs from real women in the community. The man who was perfect for four months and then disappeared. The guy who asked her to watch porn. The partner who won't go to therapy. Whether men can ever really just be friends with women. And yes — we get into cheating. Including the one time I cheated, what drove me there, and why I think most cheating is a symptom of something that was already broken long before the act itself. Amy brings her Red Flag Handbook expertise to every single question, and nothing gets a soft answer. If you've got a situation you've been sitting with, chances are it's in this episode.

You didn't learn to center men because you're weak. You learned it because the world taught you to. We grew up in a society built around male needs, male timelines, male approval. And even the most financially independent, self-aware, high-achieving women are still carrying that conditioning into their dating lives, shrinking, over-giving, measuring their worth by whether he calls back. The patriarchy didn't just affect the workplace. It got inside how we love. And it's quietly destroying your dating results. Decentering men isn't a feminist buzzword. It's the most practical dating strategy there is. Because the moment you stop making him the main character and start living from the identity of the chosen woman, before any man shows up, everything changes. The men you attract change. The way they treat you changes. The dynamic changes entirely. Amy Rushworth is back on Sex, Love and Money and we are going there. Amy calls her own relationship a miracle, because with her past trauma and her history, becoming the woman she is inside her ten year relationship is the real achievement. She got there through deep identity work and she now supports thousands of women to do the very same. To start living as the chosen woman now. Find Amy Rushworth: @thisisamyrushworth on Instagram.

She made it to the FIFA World Cup with $114 in her bank account. Her federation withheld her pay. Her fiancé cheated and kicked her out. All her belongings were packed into a Jeep she didn't want in a city she hated. And she sat in an Einstein Bagels parking lot, crying, about to board a flight to represent her country on the world stage. That's where Lo Silver's business began. Lo is a FIFA World Cup athlete, sales coach, and one of the most unapologetically herself women I've ever sat across from. She went from $20,000 a year playing professional soccer to her highest revenue month ever — and she did it by refusing to accept that the life she was living was the only option. In this episode we get into how she paid off $35,000 in credit card debt in 30 days after getting scammed by a mentor, why messy action beats mindset work every time, and the moment she closed a $20,000 deal on a sales call — then walked back onto the pitch and knew she was done with soccer forever. We talk about what's actually keeping women broke, why your inability to take action is the only block that matters, and why being willing to look like a loser in public is the fastest path to winning.

You hit the goal. You built the thing. You became the person you said you wanted to be. And somewhere in there, you stopped feeling it. Not burned out exactly. Not ungrateful. Just quietly aware that the life you worked so hard to build doesn't feel the way you thought it would. That's not a success problem. That's a fulfillment problem. And they're not the same thing. Sean Gray has spent years working at the intersection of high performance and human fulfilment, with founders, executives, and women who are winning on paper and wondering why it still feels like something is missing. In this episode he breaks down what fulfillment actually is, why achievement alone will never get you there, and what it looks like to build a life that doesn't just look good but actually feels like yours. We get into the stories we inherit about what a good life looks like, why the most driven people are often the least fulfilled, and what has to shift internally before anything changes externally. This is the conversation for the woman who has done everything right and is quietly asking herself, is this it?

Since October last year I've been going through a massive internal shift. Working harder than ever, producing less than ever, and trying to force an old version of me to keep working when she was already done. This episode is what I've learned from that, the difference between a high performing woman and an over functioning one, why your old strategies stop working before you're ready to let them go, and what it actually means to upgrade your identity instead of burning yourself out trying to stay the same.

This episode is about learning to stop treating your growth like a means to an end - and start falling in love with who you're becoming along the way.

Most women were never taught about their pleasure. Most men were never taught about women's pleasure. So we've all just been winging it, and nobody talks about the damage that does. Women are leaving relationships. Women are cheating in relationships. Women are lying in bed saying the sex was great when really it wasn't, because they were never taught they were allowed to ask for more. And men are assuming everything is fine because she never said otherwise. If you have ever pretended it was fine when it wasn't. If you have ever let him roll over and go to sleep without saying a word. If you have ever wondered why you keep ending up here, this episode will name the thing you've never been able to. Your pleasure is not a bonus. It is not a nice-to-have. It is a non-negotiable. And if you've never said that out loud, this is the episode where you start. What we cover: Why nobody taught us about women's pleasure — and what that silence has cost us The difference between a man who gives because he wants to and one who gives out of obligation Why women cheat — and what men still refuse to acknowledge about it If your partner brings you a need and you won't meet it, expect it to be outsourced How to communicate your non-negotiables in bed without shutting down or blowing up TIMESTAMPS 00:00: The conversation no one is having honestly about sex 01:35: Most women were never taught their pleasure matters — and most men weren't either 27:20: The four types of men in bed — and the one that belongs in the bin 58:27: Underneath most cheaters is an unmet need, and nobody wants to say it 1:06:14: Your pleasure is a non-negotiable. Here's how to communicate it.

A nervous man is not the same as an unavailable man. A man who talks too much about himself on date two is not the same as a man who can't show up for you. A man who takes time to ask the right questions is not the same as a man who never will. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped telling the difference between a red flag and a human being. Real standards protect you. But sometimes what we call standards is actually a wall, and it's costing us the very thing we say we want. Modern dating has taught us to spot every red flag fast. What it hasn't taught us is how to tell a red flag apart from a man who's simply still learning you. This episode is about that gap, and what it might be costing you. --- WHAT WE GET INTO The difference between a red flag and a man who's simply still learning you How to tell the difference between high standards and self-protection Why a man holding his boundaries under pressure is the real test Giving good men grace without abandoning your non-negotiables TIMESTAMPS 00:00: Red flags deserve an exit. A nervous man does not. 12:16: Are your standards protecting you, or cock-blocking your own love story? 46:51: Why a man who holds his boundaries under pressure is the real test 54:39: Why it's not naive to background-check a man you're falling for Connect with me on socials by saying hi over on IG: @rebecca.antonucci ( http://www.instagram.com/rebecca.antonucci ) Apply to work with us in Breakthrough School by booking your introductory call here.

You've wondered about it. Maybe you've even fantasised about it. What would it actually be like to open up your relationship? Would it fix what's missing, or would it blow everything up? Tyler Ippoliti has been married for 8 years and polyamorous for 6 of them. In this episode he takes us all the way in: the first threesome that was awkward as hell, the night his wife went on a date with a man from her past and he sat with his anxious attachment in real time, the relationship he had to grieve while planning to have kids, and the deep-end experience with another couple that nearly broke all of them. We talk about jealousy, attachment, sexual health conversations, and why he believes opening a relationship won't fix a single thing that's already broken, it just adds gasoline. We also get into why so many men in open relationships don't disclose it upfront, and what that says about what they're actually doing. This one is honest, uncomfortable in places, and might just answer questions you've never said out loud. WHAT WE GET INTO What actually happens the first time you try a threesome with your partner Why opening a relationship won't fix what's already broken The anxious attachment that comes up when your partner is on a date with someone else Why men in open relationships often don't tell you until date three — and what that means Jealousy: where it actually comes from and how to work with it TIMESTAMPS 00:00: What open and polyamorous actually mean, and the difference between them 03:55: The first threesome, and why it was awkward as hell 14:08: The date that triggered his deepest anxious attachment 28:55: Ending a relationship to start trying for kids, and how his wife held him through it 49:32: The deep end: falling in love with another couple, and why it nearly broke everyone 1:02:58: Why opening a relationship adds gasoline, not water, to existing problems 1:08:10: Jealousy, fantasy, and what it's actually telling you Connect with me on socials by saying hi over on IG: @rebecca.antonucci ( http://www.instagram.com/rebecca.antonucci ) Connect with Tyler: @tylerwayneippoliti Apply to work with us in Breakthrough School by booking your introductory call here.

You live in one of the most beautiful countries on earth. You also live in a country where women are afraid to be seen trying. Where standing out invites being cut down. Where your bigness makes other people uncomfortable, and somehow that becomes your problem to manage. I love Australia. But this is an honest episode. In America, women tell me I inspire them. In Australia, they walk up and say, “I just want you to know, you're a trigger for me.” Woman after woman. And I've spent a long time working out what I'm meant to do with that. This episode is where I landed. Tall poppy syndrome is real. The fear of being seen trying is real. And the price women pay for staying safe, the clipped wings, the unlived dreams, that's real too. I'm done cuddling insecurities to make people comfortable around my standards. This is permission for you to stop doing it too. I read Roger Federer's graduation speech, where he reveals that despite winning 80% of his career matches, he only won 54% of the points. That one stat broke something open in me about what it means to go after your dreams without needing every step to be the right one. WHAT WE GET INTO Tall poppy syndrome and what it's actually costing you Why someone else being triggered by your bigness is not your problem The difference between being inspiring and being a trigger Why your desires are hiding if you're hiding them Roger Federer only won 54% of his points, and what that means for your next step Episode 200.

You declared a big life. You said you were done settling. Done with the vanilla relationship, the career that drains you, the surface level friendships. You said you wanted more, more depth, more aliveness, more love, more of everything that actually matters. And then life said yes. And here you are, wondering why it's so hard. This is what no one tells you when you declare more: the yes comes with everything. The expansion and the discomfort. The love and the heartbreak. The dream and the risk that it might not work. You don't get to pick the parts you like and leave the rest. All parts of the woman come with the woman. I recorded this solo episode earlier this year, live from my first ever podcast set, the first day I've ever produced a full set like this, and things went wrong. Files got cut short. Equipment didn't hold up. And instead of collapsing, I sat down and made this episode. Because this is exactly what saying yes to life looks like. Not the highlight reel. This. I open up about something I've been sitting with for a while, a memory from my first relationship that's been quietly surfacing, and why I think it explains more about my patterns with men than almost anything else I've ever shared publicly. And I tell you about the friend who finally had the courage to look me in the eye and say what he actually felt, and why moments of honesty with men, changed everything. This one is raw. It's real. It's recorded from the middle of the risk.

You've been told it happens when you least expect it. You've been told to do the work, heal your wounds, live your life, and he'll appear. And you've done all of that. And you're still waiting. And the ticking of that clock is getting louder. This episode isn't going to tell you to stop wanting it. It's going to show you what it actually takes to build it, and why so many people are struggling to get there. Jeddy and Kari Azuma have been married for 13 years. They met when she was 31 and ready, and he was 25 and looked like a pirate fresh off Burning Man. She took the risk anyway, not because he had the kingdom built, but because she could see the man he was becoming. That bet paid off in ways neither of them could have planned. In this episode, we get into all of it. Whether a woman can get a man ready for relationship. Why the entitlement women bring to dating is actually coming from protection, not selfishness. Why dating apps, pornography and ChatGPT breakup texts are quietly destroying our ability to actually relate. And what it means to play the long game when everything in modern culture is telling you to tap out. What we cover: Does a man need to build his kingdom before he's ready for love? Why your dating standards might be protecting you from the very thing you want The real reason good relationships are getting harder to find and keep How to highlight a gap in your man without becoming his mother Why holding the tension, not tapping out, is the actual skill Timestamps: 00:00: Does a man need to build his kingdom before he's ready for love? 13:03: Why women's entitlement in dating is really just protection in disguise 21:05: The moment Kari realised she'd been showing up to love with a checklist 27:29: Playing the long game: the season they almost lost each other 33:58: Dating apps, pornography and ChatGPT breakup texts, what they're doing to us 50:28: It happens when you least expect it, but what does that mean when you're ready now?

You know that feeling when something goes wrong and your reaction is so extreme it scares even you? When you can't sleep, can't switch off, and every tool in your kit isn't touching it, and a voice in your head is telling you it's all their fault? It's not. And this episode is going to show you exactly why. Mitchell Vickridge is a clinical facilitator and one of the most grounding people I've ever sat across from. He specialises in pride and shame: two states most of us are oscillating between all day long without even knowing it. He spent three and a half hours helping me go from a state of extreme anger when my Austin podcast set did not go to plan, to actually understanding why what happened, happened. This episode is a window into that process. We get into the hidden order underneath your hardest moments, why the people who trigger you the most are actually your greatest teachers, and the one question that will dissolve almost any resentment you're holding right now. We also talk about why you keep chasing the same fantasy in love and money, and why the universe keeps withholding exactly what you want most. If you've been stuck in a loop you can't get out of, this is the episode that might finally break it. What we cover Why your most extreme reactions are always about you, not them The hidden order: how to find the gift in what hurt you most Why you're attracted to who you're attracted to (and what it's really about) How past pleasure is quietly sabotaging your love life right now Why the universe keeps withholding exactly what you want TIMESTAMPS 00:00: Why your biggest emotional reactions are always pointing back at you 01:38: What pride and shame actually are, and why you're oscillating between them all day 13:31: The hidden order: why the person who hurt you was actually your teacher 19:33: The fantasy problem: why chasing what you want keeps pushing it away 30:41: Past pleasure informs future fantasy, how old relationships wreck new ones 43:37: How to actually value money in a way that sticks Find Mitch: @mitchellvickridge on Instagram.

You've had great sex that left you feeling nothing. You've had a man who did everything right, and woken up emptier than before. You told yourself it was him. You moved on. You tried again. Same result, different man. It was never him. And it was never the act of intimacy. It was the absence of everything that needed to come first. Vanilla sex has nothing to do with what's happening in the bedroom. It's sex without roots. Sex without time. Sex without knowing someone, and being known back. And if you've been cycling through men wondering why nothing ever feels like enough, this episode is going to name something you've felt but never quite had the words for. I recorded this 48 hours after a real epiphany hit me mid-dating: live, unfiltered, and straight from Bali. I tell you the full story of the man I've been dating, the padel court where it started, the wine cellar date, the comedy show, the cup of tea that wasn't just a cup of tea, and the moment I caught myself about to do the exact thing I tell every woman not to do. Because the truth is: if you're using sex to try to feel something, no man will ever be able to give you what you're actually looking for. Time and time again you will be setting you and him up to fail. And the sooner we name that, the sooner everything changes. Raw, real, and recorded live in Bali two days after the epiphany hit. You're welcome. WHAT WE GET INTO — What vanilla sex actually is, and why it has nothing to do with the bedroom — Why the f*ck and chuck cycle is grief in disguise, not cruelty — The Healthy Man Starter Pack: how to tell if it's real or just an act — Why making him wait isn't about games, it's about you finding out the truth — The Bali dating story unfolding right now, live revelations and completely unfiltered TIMESTAMPS 00:00: What vanilla sex actually is, and what it has nothing to do with 01:20: Sex without roots: why connection can't be rushed into being 07:25: The f*ck and chuck cycle isn't cruelty, it's grief 22:17: The Healthy Man Starter Pack, how to know if it's real or an act 29:36: Why dating too fast is setting you up to feel nothing 54:05: Why no man will ever be able to give you what you're actually looking for Connect with me on socials by saying hi over on IG: @rebecca.antonucci ( http://www.instagram.com/rebecca.antonucci ) Apply to work with us in Breakthrough School by booking your introductory call here.

He was a little boy. You were the woman who paid for it. You didn't fall in love with a man. You fell in love with a seven year old who hadn't grieved his childhood yet. And until he does, he will sabotage every relationship that gets close enough to matter. Ryan Moresby-White works with hundreds of men, fathers, CEOs, men in their 70s, helping them do the one thing society never taught them: grieve. He's built a multi-million dollar company doing it. And he's one of the most embodied, present men I've ever sat across from. In this episode, Ryan gets completely honest about the relationship he lost because of his own unresolved wounds, the four hours he spent on a bathroom floor in Bali vomiting after she left, and the nine months on the grass on the Sunshine Coast that changed everything. This is the episode I made for the women in my world who are tired of carrying men who don't know they're still boys. And it's for the men who are ready to find out. What we get into: Why most men are emotionally operating as 7-year-olds, and what to do about it The real reason men sabotage relationships (it has nothing to do with you) The post-breakup level up, and the two very different paths it leads to How to support a man on his healing journey without becoming his mother What a truly safe man looks like, and why he can feel so confronting Timestamps: 00:00: Most men are little boys walking around in adult bodies 01:15: What a rite of passage actually is, and why men don't get one anymore 06:12: Why women become the unintentional initiators for uninitiated men 11:03: The tree ring analogy: you're not dating one man, you're dating all of him 26:47: Ryan ends a year-long relationship, and shares why live on air 37:24: The bathroom floor in Bali: 4 hours of vomiting after she left 43:08: The post-breakup level up, two paths, two very different men 57:51: What women can do to actually support a man on his healing journey Find Ryan: @@ryanmoresbywhite) ( https://www.instagram.com/ryanmoresbywhite/ ) on Instagram and YouTube Connect with me on socials by saying hi over on IG: @rebecca.antonucci ( http://www.instagram.com/rebecca.antonucci )

You felt the spark. The chemistry was undeniable. You thought that feeling meant it was real. What if it didn't? Adam Roa is a poet, coach, and one of the most honest voices on love alive right now. His poem "You Are Who You've Been Looking For" got 40 million views in 48 hours, and instead of feeling celebrated, he fell into one of the darkest periods of his life. He's spent decades studying love from every angle: scientific, spiritual, poetic, personal. And what he's found might change the way you read your own relationships. This conversation goes deep. We talk about why fireworks are often trauma bonds in disguise, what mature love actually feels like in your body, and why the men in your life aren't moving on pain-free, they're just moving on differently. Adam also opens up about his new book Crazy Love, the journal entries he never planned to share, and the night he slept with someone he didn't want to, and wept about it the next morning. This is one of those episodes you'll come back to. What we get into: Why the chemistry you're chasing might be a trauma bond, not love Fireworks vs. mature love, and how to reset your body's barometer What surrendering to love actually looks like (hint: it keeps hurting) How to support your man when he goes quiet, without making it about you Why your ex moving on fast doesn't mean he didn't care Timestamps: 00:00: Fireworks aren't the indicator of a healthy relationship 01:15: What surrendering to love really means, and why it never stops 04:23: Why most fireworks are actually trauma bonds in disguise 09:01: The ten year relationship that taught him nothing, until it ended 10:18: Suicidal ideation, depression, and what finally turned the page 14:26: Self-love isn't a yes or no, it's a relationship with yourself 23:10: Why nothing grows without resistance (including you) 55:32: How to support a man who goes quiet without making it about you Find Adam: @adam.roa on Instagram and YouTube Get his book Crazy Love and access exclusive events at www.adamroa.com Connect with me on socials by saying hi over on IG: @rebecca.antonucci ( http://www.instagram.com/rebecca.antonucci )

You're doing the work. You're staying in the game. And still, things aren't going the way you planned. The client didn't sign. The relationship isn't here yet. The results aren't coming fast enough. And a voice in your head keeps asking: should I quit? This episode is for you. 2026 was meant to be the year I win. My podcast team broke up with me. My dream assistant resigned in a day. I got detained by US customs for three hours and told to leave the country. I lost every competitive paddle match I entered. And then Austin happened. And I recorded this episode sweating in a studio with no air conditioning, with a voice in my head telling me to stop. I kept going anyway. That's the whole point.
