Sexual intimacy does not end when you turn 80, and Linda is living proof.

This week at Come Talk with Aimee, Linda talks about sex and intimacy after 80 and why desire never expires no matter what stage you are in life. Linda is an author, intimacy and relationship coach, and the unapologetic voice behind the fast-growing digital talk series Next with Linda. She shares her own love story, including falling head over heels at 80, how women can shed the “stinking thinking” that tells them their best days are behind them, and why sexual health and desire look different, and often better, with age.

We also talk about:

• why desire and desirability do not have an expiration date

• what changes about sex as you age and how intimacy can actually get better

• how menopause affects the body and the practical ways to work around it

• why self-pleasure matters for your sexual health at every age

• the conversations around aging and desire that women over 60 are rarely given space to have

• how to stop apologizing for who you are and reclaim what you still want

If you have ever told yourself that sex and intimacy are no longer for you, this episode is your permission slip to think again. Linda is 83, still open to desire, and she wants every woman to know it is your turn.

The script you were handed about sex and relationships was never written for you. And if you are neuroqueer, it probably never even came close.

In this episode, I sit down with Emily Zawadzki, also known as Emily Zed Sex Ed, a Canadian queer sex educator, coach, and support worker with over 10 years of experience supporting kinky neuroqueer folks. We talk about what it means to be neuroqueer, how social conditioning shapes the way we think about sex and relationships long before we even start having them, and how masking shows up in the bedroom in ways we might not even recognize. Emily also shares how her wife's ADHD diagnosis transformed the way they communicate and connect, and why redefining what intimacy looks like is one of the most liberating things a neuroqueer person can do.

We also talk about:

• how to tell the difference between a genuine desire and an inherited cultural script

• why sensory accommodations can actually create more eroticism, not less

• why sexual confidence is not about experience but about self-awareness and having your own sexy toolkit

• the huge overlap between neurodivergence and kink

• what neurotypical partners can do to show up better for their neuroqueer loves

If you have ever felt like you were performing in your relationships, or wondered why the standard relationship script never quite fit, this episode is your permission slip to throw it out and write your own.

How well do you know your finger techniques?

In this second anniversary episode, I’m sharing another After Hours moment with you! This time, it’s with Steph Zapata, sexual health educator, anti-colonial organizer, and the visionary behind SLAM, a groundbreaking conference centering sex, liberation, and movement work. We kick things off with a game called Fingering It Out, where Steph schools us on fingering techniques, erogenous zones, and why lube is always the answer. Then we get real and go deeper into Steph's personal journey from years of shame and disconnection to reclaiming their body, their pleasure, and themselves.

We also talk about:

• how shame shows up in the bedroom and what to do instead of fighting it

• reclaiming your identity and body as home through sex education

• how to live from your heart instead of your anxiety-riddled mind

• using dirty talk to turn intrusive thoughts into real-time communication with your partner

• why imposter syndrome and fear do not have to hold you back from showing up

If you have ever felt disconnected from your body, stuck in your head during sex, or like pleasure is something you have to earn, this episode is your reminder that becoming whole is a process, shame is not yours to keep, and dirty talk might just be the hack that changes your sex life.

Did you know that different kinds of lube are designed for different sensitivities, toys, and sexual activities? Because yes, your lube actually matters more than you think.

In this anniversary episode, I’m sharing an After Hours moment with previous podcast guest and founder of Lubify, Orla Maguire. We break down the differences between water-based, silicone, oil-based, and organic lubes, how to know which one works best for your needs, and why ingredients matter when it comes to intimate care.

We also talk about:

• ingredients to look for and why lube should feel like skincare for your vulva and penis

• somatics and what it means to reconnect with your body

• self-pleasure, sensation, and embodied intimacy

• simple breathwork techniques for grounding and nervous system regulation

• why slowing down helps you experience more pleasure and connection

• how to become more aware of what your body actually wants and needs

  
  

If you have ever grabbed a random bottle of lube without thinking twice, this episode might completely change the way you think about pleasure products. Your body deserves care, attention, and products that actually support your pleasure instead of working against it.

Your sexual energy is not dirty, shameful, or something you need to suppress. It is life force, creativity, connection, and one of the most powerful expressions of being human.

In this episode, I sit down with transformational life coach, Kundalini yoga teacher, and Sacred Alchemy podcast host Elizabeth Hudson for a deeply expansive conversation about sacred sexuality, shame, spiritual connection, and reclaiming pleasure. We talk about the ways religion, purity culture, trauma, and societal conditioning disconnect people from their bodies and desires, and why so many people carry shame around the very energy that created them. Elizabeth breaks down the sacral chakra, sexual energy as creative force, and the connection between spirituality, embodiment, pleasure, and healing.

We also talk about:

• healing sexual trauma through somatic work, breathwork, and nervous system regulation

• why pleasure is your birthright and not something to feel guilty about

• the connection between spirituality, sensuality, and divine energy

• conscious partnership and creating deeper intimacy through presence and awareness

• feminine energy, embodiment, and reclaiming pleasure without shame

• why creativity and sexuality are more connected than most people realise

  
  

If you have ever struggled with shame around your body, your pleasure, or your desires, this episode is your reminder that there is nothing inherently wrong with your sexuality. Your body is not something to disconnect from. It is something to come home to.

What exactly happens in an erotic bodywork retreat?

In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of my experience attending a seven-day Back to the Body retreat in Sicily with Pamela Madsen. Ten days after interviewing Pamela on the podcast, I booked a flight to Italy and found myself immersed in somatic work, erotic touch, sisterhood, consent conversations, breathwork, body-based healing, and some of the most profound nervous system regulation I have ever experienced. I share what the retreat structure actually looked like, what surprised me the most, the emotional and physical shifts that came up during the experience, and why this work was about so much more than orgasms.

I talk about:

• the importance of consent conversations before entering erotic spaces

• why safety changes your ability to access pleasure and embodiment

• sisterhood, connection, and the unexpected emotional impact of the retreat

• why erotic touch is not just about orgasms, but presence, safety, and healing

• how to advocate for yourself and your boundaries in erotic spaces

If you have ever been curious about erotic bodywork, somatic sex education, or retreats like Back to the Body, this episode is an honest look at what these spaces can actually feel like from someone who experienced it firsthand. This conversation is not about shock value or fantasy. It is about embodiment, consent, safety, pleasure, and what becomes possible when you finally allow yourself to fully drop into your body.

Abortion is not shameful, controversial, or up for debate. It is normal, common, and a fundamental part of healthcare.

In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Nir, co-founder and CEO of the Abortion Positivity Project, for a bold, unfiltered, and deeply necessary conversation about abortion, stigma, and reclaiming the narrative. We talk about what abortion positivity actually means, why abortion is not a political issue but a politicised one, and how shame has been intentionally taught and reinforced in both culture and policy. Sophie breaks down the language we have been using for decades, from “pro-choice” to “safe, legal, and rare,” and why those frameworks actually distance us from abortion instead of supporting it. We also get into the real-life impact of abortion access, why abortion is overwhelmingly common and supported, and what it looks like to move from apologising for abortion to proudly standing behind it.

We talk about:

• why abortion is not political, but politicized

• the problem with language like “pro-choice” and “safe, legal, and rare”

• why abortion does not need to be justified to be valid

• how stigma directly impacts policy, access, and people’s lived experiences

• the reality of abortion access, restrictions, and who is most affected

• why the most common emotional response after abortion is relief

• how to start having confident, stigma-free conversations about abortion in everyday life

  
  

If you are ready to drop the shame, question the narratives you have been taught, and start speaking about abortion with clarity and confidence, this episode is your permission slip. You do not need to soften it. You do not need to apologise for it. You can support it, talk about it, and stand behind it fully.
