What do you do when you haven’t had sex in years, you’re living with an ostomy, and suddenly a gorgeous, wealthy, semi-famous man starts giving you serious attention? In this episode of Rewired & Desired, Trina Ricketts (The Intimate Ostomate) walks co-host Nicole Richards through a live intimacy coaching session about:

• dating with an ostomy
• self-worth and “why would he want me?” thoughts
• fears about being ghosted after sex
• how long celibacy shapes your choices
• whether to wait for “the one” or seize the moment
• reframing power so you choose how your body and intimacy are shared

Welcome to the very first episode of Rewired & Desired — a podcast where intimacy, mindset, and disability meet real talk, real healing, and real empowerment.

In this premiere episode, your hosts Trina Ricketts (The Intimate Ostomate) and Nicole Richards [Ostomy Innovations] pull back the curtain and share who we are, how we got here, and why this podcast had to exist.

We talk about:

• our personal and professional backgrounds
• why intimacy matters so deeply — especially when disability, trauma, or illness enter the story
• the experiences that shaped our work
• the gaps we see in conversations about sex, relationships, and body-based confidence
• the vision for this podcast
• the kind of guests we plan to bring on
• and the bold topics we won’t shy away from

If you’re someone who’s living with a disability, navigating life with an ostomy, healing from touch starvation, or simply craving more honest conversations about intimacy and self-connection… you’re in the right place.

This is a space for safety, rebellion, compassion, and truth — all wrapped into one.
