Podcast - Zest to Zen: Healing Intimacy, Masculinity & Sexual Shame

Shel Marie, Empowerment Coach, Global Speaker, and Founder of Shel Marie Empowerment, is joined by the incredible Carla Crivaro, Sex, Love & Relationship Coach,


Together, we explore sexuality, shame, intimacy healing, masculine and feminine dynamics, emotional safety in relationships, nervous system responses in love, and what it really means to move from performance-based connection into authentic desire and embodiment. This conversation goes beyond surface-level dating advice, diving into biology, conditioning, intuition, communication, and the hidden patterns that shape our relationships and self-worth. No scripts. No rehearsals. Just a raw, expansive conversation about healing, desire, confidence, and conscious relationships.


In this episode we explore:

Healing shame around sexuality and intimacy

Why emotional safety is the foundation of attraction

Masculinity, confidence, and male emotional experience

Feminine embodiment, intuition, and self-expression

Non-monogamy, boundaries, and relationship evolution

The impact of conditioning, religion, and upbringing

Hormonal birth control and behavioural shifts in women

Love bombing, attachment patterns, and emotional awareness

Communication, polarity, and conscious connection

Moving from anxiety-driven love to secure relating
