Episode Five | Why Sex Matters with Lacey Haynes
Hey my love,
This is episode five with Lacey Haynes.
Lacey has been a woman that I have listened to, learnt from, and been moved by for many years now. To share her with you on the podcast today feels very, very special to me. I discovered Lacey online about 4 years ago when I was preparing for the home birth of my son, River. She too was preparing to give birth to her first daughter, and I discovered her through the hashtag #radicalingmotherhood. And to this day there doesn’t feel like a more suitable hashtag for her.
Since then Lacey has gone on to free birth both her babies at home, and leads a movement in empowered birth, epic sex, and whole self-living.
Lacey is unique, so incredibly unique. Her voice is like honey and even more delicious is the wisdom and words that ooze out of her without effort. Lacey is an embodiment of that which she teaches and the way I know that – is because I feel it – and I know you will too.
Today’s conversation is one that I have dreamt of having here on the show – an opportunity for women to truly take a seat at the table of their life through the gateway of mind-blowing sex. Shared through Lacey’s experiences, stories, and teachings this episode is one that will not only open your eyes (and legs) to what is available to you – but also empower you – to go there too.
In this episode we chat about:
- Creating reverence and respect for motherhood
- How your biggest pain points are the entry point for your biggest healing and self-expression

- The desire and longing to be in your body
- How powerful it is to fully see yourself
- Re-learning what you believe is beautiful

- How to raise sex positive children
- The gateway that sex offers us as women
- How sex is the essence of all life
- How your yearning in your life maybe directly connected to your sexuality
- How sex has the ability to claim the seat at the table of your life
