I’ve followed intimacy coach Eleanor Hadley for years now, and one of my 2025 goals was to work with her one-on-one.  

Fresh from our coaching time together, I invited her to come on the show to pass on some of the biggest aha moments I had with her… and also to answer your burning questions on all things pleasure, intimacy and sex.

Eleanor is an award-winning certified sex educator, speaker and writer.  She offers 1:1 sexuality and embodiment coaching and practical sex education courses. 

She has also just released a new online program called Lust & Libido, which she is very generously offering my listeners a 20% discount for.  Go to eleanorhadley.com/libido and use code LORRAINE!

 

In our conversation, Eleanor and I cover:
Her background and how she came to do the work she does
What exactly an intimacy coach does!
The most common blocks she sees women having when it comes to intimacy
Her clever metaphor for how our beliefs around sex are formed
The “Madonna Whore Dichotomy” and how it relates to mothers
If it’s possible to regain the spark if it's gone from a relationship
The importance of setting the right context for sex, and what the "checklist" is for that
The concept of brakes and accelerators when it comes to desire
Sex post baby - “how to give a f*ck about giving a f*ck” (exact words from a listener Q )
The top toys she recommends 

 

A book Eleanor highly recommends is Come As You Are, by Emily Nagowski.
