This week, sex scholar Nadège Collot — a coach, astrologer, and best-selling author — joins the podcast for an enlightening, empowering exploration of sex, history, and spirituality.

In this fascinating and far-reaching conversation, Nadège walks us through her historical research on the fertility goddess Virgo, the true definition of an ancient "virgin," sexual liberation in cultures like ancient Egypt and Rome, and the impact of patriarchal society on goddess worship. She also shares fascinating astrological insights on how sex shows up in our natal charts, including our hidden desires, secret erogenous zones, and the kinkiest signs (you might be surprised).
