This podcast is about the Madonna–Whore Complex. Aka, that outdated (but still alive and kicking) belief system that splits women into two categories: the “pure, marriage material” saint, or the “wild, desirable” sinner. We’ll unpack how this shows up in dating, sex, and relationships today, why some men still can’t hold both sides of a woman at once, and how this split quietly sabotages intimacy.

In this episode Eliza discusses the history of "hysteria" in women and also a question that stirs both curiosity and discomfort: Do men truly want emotionally intelligent women.. or just the idea of one?
We unpack the gap between what many men say they desire in a partner (emotional depth, vulnerability, and strong communication) and the reality of how confronting those qualities can be in practice. I dive into the psychology behind why emotional maturity in a woman can feel threatening, overwhelming, or “too much,” especially for those who were never taught how to regulate or receive their own emotions.

What happens when you’re doing the inner workL learning to regulate, communicate, reflect.. and your partner isn’t? In this episode, we explore the emotional friction that arises when one person in a relationship is growing while the other stays still. Is it a phase, or a pattern? Can love survive misaligned growth? And how do you honour your evolution without slipping into superiority or resentment? Let’s talk about the loneliness, the hope, and the hard decisions that come with outgrowing old dynamics.

In this episode, Eliza unpacks the concept of weaponised vulnerability — when people use emotional language and therapeutic buzzwords not to heal, but to avoid accountability. From over-sharing as a smokescreen to claiming “self-awareness” while continuing harmful behaviours, she explores how vulnerability can sometimes be performative rather than reparative. If you’ve ever felt confused by someone who sounded emotionally intelligent but acted emotionally immature, this one’s for you.

Eliza unpacks the truth behind the orgasm gap — why women in heterosexual relationships are having significantly fewer orgasms than men, and why it has far more to do with power, patriarchy, and performance than with biology.
She dives deep into how sex has been shaped by cultural conditioning, male-centric scripts, and media that prioritise his pleasure while teaching women to suppress or perform their own. From faking orgasms to tolerating “just okay” sex, Eliza breaks down why so many women feel disconnected from desire — and what it actually takes to reclaim erotic equality.

We need to talk about the shadow side of sex — the ways it’s used not as a form of connection, but as a distraction, a manipulation tool, or an emotional numbing device. In this episode, we dive deep into the behaviours that look like sexual liberation on the surface, but underneath are often rooted in avoidance, shame, trauma, and unmet emotional needs.
From compulsive porn use and casual sex that leaves you emptier than before, to the rise of AI-generated porn, deepfakes, and chatbots that replace real connection with fantasy control — we unpack the psychological, relational, and neurological costs of sex without safety, embodiment, or intimacy.
You’ll also hear how sex can be used to self-soothe, gain power, or maintain connection in toxic dynamics — and why it matters to bring awareness, choice, and emotional depth back into the way we relate to our own desire.

Is it love—or is it a loop?
In this deep-dive episode, we unpack the messy, confusing world of attraction and explore a powerful truth: sometimes, what we call "love" is actually our nervous system clinging to what's familiar… not what's healthy.
You’ll learn:
💔 Why you’re drawn to emotionally unavailable partners (hint: it’s not just bad luck)
🧠 How your attachment style and early childhood shape who you’re attracted to
🔁 What “repetition compulsion” is—and why you keep replaying the same story in different bodies
⚠️ The difference between true compatibility and trauma bonding
🧘♀️ Why a calm nervous system might feel boring if you’re used to chaos (and how to change that)
💡 The signs that you’re in a pattern vs. a real, secure partnership
🛠 Tools to start healing: from nervous system regulation to inner child work
If you’ve ever said, “Why do I keep ending up here?”—this one’s for you. It’s time to break the cycle and choose a love that feels like peace, not a project.
