In this episode, my husband James and I share our intimate, powerful home birth story of our second baby, Latham. It was such a wild and empowering journey! Here I weave the tale of each step of the journey, plus what we did to prepare for the birth. 

I am so passionate about rewriting the narrative around birth. I believe birth can be the portal to a woman’s deepest feminine power, a blueprint that lasts her whole life (and the baby’s!). 

This is a great listen for anyone who is pregnant or considering a home birth. 

Have you ever finally gotten the baby or kids to sleep, crashed into bed… and then your partner wants to make love? Maybe you also wanted to connect intimately, but you felt overwhelmed, overtouched, tapped out. What do you do? 

That is a very real challenge many mamas face (myself included!). In this episode I share with you exactly what I did the other night to deliberately transition from “mom mode” to “lover mode” in just a few minutes - and the beautiful intimacy that was created with my partner as a result. 

Rekindling your erotic spark - even admist the chaos and intensity of motherhood - is 100% possible for you too. This episode walks you through 5 key practices to get there. 

Welcome back to the podcast! We’re back with a fresh name, new look, and whole new vibe. 

This podcast was formerly “Touchy Topics with Megan Lambert”, but as I’ve changed dramatically since becoming a mother, so too have my teachings. So here we are, Eros Mama. 

In Season 3 of the podcast, we’re going deep into the heart of motherhood, exploring how we can maintain connection to our passion and sensuality, while nurturing our growing families. No easy feat! 

How do you work with masculine and feminine energy when it comes to bringing dreams to life? What gifts do our inner masculine and feminine bring around dreams? How do you dream together as a couple, in a polarized and sexy way?

As we start 2024, may this mini-episode inspire you to bring your biggest and boldest dreams to life, either individually or as a couple.

How do you prepare for birth with the full reverence and devotion it deserves?

Birth is one of the biggest initiations of a woman’s life. It touches every aspect of who she is emotionally, physically, spiritually, socially…. As well as ripples out to her partner, family, friends, and community.

So - what can you do to prepare for an amazing birth? Here I share a few of my favorite resources and things that have helped me prepare for birth.

One of the least talked about - but most important - aspects of a relationship is how you structure your daily lives together. What are the rhythms and rituals you live by? What is the flow of your days? 

Often couples fall into unconscious patterns, without having a clear conversation on the rhythms they want to create together. Nor do they talk about their implicit expectations and baseline standards - which can breed resentment and hurt feelings.  

By having an open and honest conversation about these areas, you two can consciously design a more beautiful and fulfilling life together. 

In this episode, I share with you two powerful sets of questions to talk about with your partner to help you set your baseline standards and design your daily rhythms. This is potent work! May it create more flow and harmony in your relationship. 

One baby vs. two babies — depending who you ask, you’ll get a different answer about what it’s like to shift from a family of 3 to a family of 4 or more. 

This week, I’m talking with Jess Osie about the shifts in motherhood that come with a growing family. 

In this episode, we discuss motherhood as a rite of passage, the family nervous system, and caring for your relationship with your partner throughout all stages of parenthood. 

Jess gets real about what it’s like caring for two children and the struggles she and her partner have faced along the way. If you’re growing your family, or just curious to know what it’s like shifting into this new stage of life, this episode is for you.

Are you pregnant, postpartum, or a parent --- and are also trying to keep an intimate relationship alive? This episode is for you. 

Here we cover one of the topics people ask me about the most - what changes in your intimacy once a little one arrives? 

In short, everything. 

In this episode, I break the conversation down into 3 phases - pregnancy, early postpartum days, and toddlerhood & beyond - and share the major challenges I hear from couples in each of these phases. 

Then I share 5 powerful ways you can keep the spark alive with your partner, even as you navigate the turbulent and awe-inspiring waters of parenthood.

Have you heard the news? We’re expecting baby #2!

James & I are planning to welcome a little boy to our family in February 2024. We’re so excited.

In this life update episode I share all - how I knew it was time to conceive, our intimate conception story, finding out I was pregnant, and the way we surprised our family with the news.

I also open up about fears and desires for this second journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum - as well as the challenges I’m anticipating.

Lastly, I share how James and I are preparing our relationship to weather the storms of having more children - and how we’re continuing to deepen into parenthood together.

Have you ever struggled with a “low libido”? It can feel so isolating, especially in a relationship, where your partner may be looking to you for their erotic satisfaction.

In this episode, with renowned French sexologist Camille Bataillon, we unravel what “low libido” really means - and what to do about it.

We often talk about “low libido” as if it is an individual problem - but the truth is, when you’re in a partnership, “low libido” is a relational challenge of mismatched desire.

So how do you address conflicting desires and needs, sexually?

How do you uncover what you really want and nourish your erotic self?

How do you take responsibility for your own erotic satisfaction and then share it with a partner?

We cover all of these juicy topics in this episode. We hope it serves you in your journey towards more fulfilling sex, juicy desires, and closer partnership!

What leads to the spark dying down? How can you stoke the fire and bring back the flame - in a fun and playful way?

In this episode, I share a sample story of a couple who’s passion and romance faded over time… and the specific ways James & I helped them revive the spark.

One of the main ways we help couples is by bringing the play back into intimacy, predominantly through games. Intimacy games help couples feel on the same team, be open minded to discover each other, and communicate what they like.

Here I share 3 of my favorite games for couples who want to reignite and rediscover each other intimately. Each game takes 10 min or less - but can radically shift your erotic life.

Let me know how the games go afterwards via email (megandlambert@gmail.com) or via Instagram (@megandlambert). Wishing you a fun and playful exploration with your partner!

What actually happens at a couples retreat?! Who goes to a retreat? What do people learn?

In this episode, my husband James Mattingley and I share about our most recent couples’ retreat in Bali. This was the third couples retreat we’ve hosted together, and like each one so far, it was full of lessons for ourselves and for the couples.

We talk about the type of people who attend couples’ retreats, what these couples were looking for, and some of the surprising twists and turns this retreat took.

We shared our favorite topics and a-ha moments from the retreat, from the myth of low libido to a body-based approach to navigating conflict in relationships, as well as one of the key skills we teach - how to spark the passion in long-term love.

I hope you find this episode useful! If you’d like to join us on a future retreat, our next one is Dec 1-4th, 2023 in Bali. You can find more info on it here: www.integratedintimacy.co/retreat.

We’re backkk! The first episode with Londin Angel Winters was so powerful (listen to it here), that we immediately recorded a follow-up episode - this time centered on motherhood.

If you don’t yet know Londin, she is an expert on the path of sacred devotional intimacy, having taught about sexuality, masculine / feminine dynamics, and the art of surrender for over 12 years. She is a true role model in this field and my former relationship mentor.

In this episode, she shares about the pain of multiple miscarriages and how she (unexpectedly!) conceived at 47 years old, and had a successful home birth at 48 years old.

We explore the profoundly spiritual aspects of giving birth, and what pregnancy and birth taught us about surrender, the power of the female body, and trusting the divine. We explore the intricate connections between birth, death, and sexuality.

She shares about breaking the chains of old ways of parenting, and letting your child be your greatest spiritual teacher.

We dive into intimacy and sex after baby - why so many moms lose interest in sex - and how postpartum actually represents a profound initiation into sacred sexuality and intimate depth, if both people are willing to uplevel together.

Lastly, we end by talking about the purpose of motherhood - to give love in a way you never received - and how anchoring into that purpose can provide meaning, even in challenging motherhood moments.

Meet Michelle Etchison - queen of naughty content, self-expression guide, breathwork facilitator and overall badass entrepreneur. She became a friend of mine through a mastermind, where I learned about her journey of healing her autoimmune disease through pleasure and self-expression.

At only 23 years old, she found herself struggling with an autoimmune disease that left her frail and weak. Through reconnecting with her inner voice, expressing herself boldly, and exploring her pleasure, she has completely healed. These days, you’ll find her doing sensual dance, EFT, or breathwork, posting about her happy hoe life on Instagram, and being vibrantly, radiantly healthy.

In this episode, we explore the wisdom of our bodies - how autoimmune disease is a wake-up call for parts of our souls to come alive. We look at pleasure, and the ways pleasure helps our body become a safe place to be. Lastly, we explore Michelle’s roots as a child of immigrants, and how her cultural heritage informs her work today.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

Ever wonder if there is a more empowering and holistic way to view health challenges? Ever feel like modern medicine is missing a big piece of the puzzle, especially for women?

In this episode with integrative health practitioner, Bindi Stables, we look at the root cause of chronic illness, disease, and body dysfunction, particularly when it comes to women’s bodies.

Bindi shares her inspiring story of healing from daily seizures to thriving health, and how she found medical answers in unexpected places (ex: emotions, intuition, and ayuveda).

We look at the most common health problem she helps women with - their menstrual cycles - and how this seemingly simple aspect of being a woman reveals much deeper patterns in our lives, as well as an invitation to an entirely new way of living.

We also look at how our relationship to our menstrual cycle reflects our relationship to the feminine, and nature as a whole. Powerful stuff! I got chills many times during this episode because I believe this is such an important conversation. I hope you enjoy it!

Do you struggle to receive? Do you wish your partner did more thoughtful things for you?

In this joint episode with my husband, James Mattingley, I share about the biggest gift I’ve ever received - and what it’s taught me about the art of giving & receiving in romantic relationships.

James recently spent several months renovating my office! And in that process, I learned so much about the voices in my head that block my receiving  (“Do I deserve this? I don’t need anything so beautiful…”), as well as the magic I saw in my relationship when I opened to receive this gift graciously.

By sharing this story of learning to receive more fully, I hope you get a golden nugget for yourself around what it means to receive, what stands in the way, and how to open more fully to the love that is, always, all around.

Grab a cup of tea and settle in for this is an intimate solo episode together, where I share my personal updates, and a shift I’ve noticed in my work lately towards more softness and just being - rather than pushing and doing.

I open up about identity challenges this change has brought up for me - as well as how I knew it was time to let go of online coaching for now. I share about listening to my body for deeper wisdom, and trusting those messages even when they don’t “make sense”.

Sacrifice is a big theme in the episode too - consciously deciding what I do NOT do is as important as what I will do.

Lastly I share a tangible practice you can take with you to identify your own values and priorities - and align your life behind them. I hope you find this episode useful for your own journey!

This might be one of my favorite episodes yet. It’s a profound interview with my mentor, Londin Angel Winters, where we explore, “How do you create a passionate partnership after decades together? What’s required to continue growing and deepening with your lover through having a child, starting a business, and navigating uncertainty?”

Londin is one of the wisest - yet playful! - women I know, and this episode is packed full of a-ha moments around intimacy, love, and relationship. In the episode, I bring her 3 typical challenges from my clients, and she responds with deep, life-changing advice for these situations. You may even get something for yourself!

We talk about what surrender *really* is, ways we unconsciously kill polarity and attraction, how to inspire masculine leadership, and how to offer yourself as a gift to your relationship. Londin asks, “How are you going to use your body and your time on earth to awaken conscious love?”

What were you taught about food and your appetite? How is your relationship with your hunger? How do you feel about your body right now?

This is such a hot topic for my female clients right now, so I wanted to dive into it here with you.

In this intimate solo episode, I share with you my personal journey around food, body image, and feminine hunger. I touch on the healthiest aspects of my journey - as well as my dysfunctional habits - and the specific tools I’ve used to “rewild” my relationship with food and my body.

When I watch my 16 month old baby naturally eat what she wants, when she wants, and intuitively follow her own hunger cues… I know that this is our natural state.

Yet so many of us have a far-from-natural relationship with food and our bodies. We may diet, overexercise, binge & purge, obsessively count calories, or restrict ourselves. All of this comes from a “top-down” control of our bodies, rather than a deep trust of our body’s wisdom.

This episode is an invitation back to your natural state, a chance to “rewild” your body, and rediscover what you intuitively know about eating and feminine hunger.

Hey feminine being - do you realize how powerful you are?!

For years, I overworked, overgave, and over-hustled… because I had no idea how naturally and inherently magnetic I was. I didn’t trust the power of my feminine to attract what I wanted - in love, in friendship, in work.

In this potent solo episode, I share about my personal feminine awakening 10 years ago, and my journey into deeper trust with my body, with my longings, and ultimately, with the universe.

I’ll also share the 9 qualities of being magnetic, and invite you into deeper self-reflection with me on your current superpowers - as well as areas you may be curious to explore further.

May this episode activate a deep remembering inside you of just how badass and magnetic you truly are.
