Leading a Pleasure filled life w/ Suzannah Weiss
Leading a Pleasure Filled life w/ Suzannah Weiss
In this soul-stirring episode, Sana sits down with Suzannah Weiss — feminist writer, certified sexologist, and author of Subjectified — to explore what it truly means to live a pleasure-filled life. Suzannah shares her deeply personal journey of reclaiming her sexuality after healing from an eating disorder and how embodiment became the key to unlocking authentic desire, joy, and creative freedom.
From the myths about women’s libidos to orgasm struggles in partnership, Suzannah offers grounded wisdom, practical embodiment tools, and a radical reimagining of foreplay and intimacy that extends far beyond the bedroom. Together, they unpack how mainstream narratives — from Hugh Hefner to hustle culture — strip us of our humanity, and how we can return to wholeness through presence, pleasure, and play.
You’ll also hear about:
Suzannah’s healing journey through clothing-optional spaces
Why embodiment is the bridge to intuition, creativity, and aliveness
How she’s preparing for her next book by fully embodying the Orgasmic Life
Her transformative DMT experience and what it revealed about hustle culture
And why the ultimate subjectification is turning ourselves into machines
This episode is for the woman ready to feel again — deeply, fully, and on her own terms.
