This podcast takes on modern conceptions of sexual pleasure and how we “should” be experiencing pleasure. By completely putting aside societal expectations and giving herself space to have new experiences Nicole has opened so many doors that I didn’t know existed. Interesting, insightful, and feel-good. You leave the episode feeling empowered.

Modern Anarchy intertwines relationships, sex, societal structures, and more. So many podcasts that discuss alternative styles of living/relationships often seem to do so in a bubble that ignores social structures. In this podcast, however, Nicole acknowledges the complexities of it all and approaches conversations in a gentle and open-minded way. I also love the nomination approach to finding speakers - it makes for really great conversations with people that might not otherwise be heard.

I really appreciate Nicole’s bold approach to this show. The guests are brilliant. These progressive conversations question everything and inspire listeners to keep the ideas flowing.

Nicole is an incredible host, but the real meat of the podcast comes from the content she's putting out into the world. I mean, if I would have had this available to me when I was younger things would have been SO different. Guess I'll just have to keep learning and listening to the wisdom that seems to follow her wherever she goes. I love this host, I love this podcast and I love the person I'm becoming because of it.

This podcast is a must listen for anyone interested in mental health, sexuality, and a more expansive approach to relationships. Whether you are already deeply involved in those scenes or just starting to curiously dip your toes in, you will find a warm, welcome, joyful exploration of ideas and concepts. Nicole brings her wealth of knowledge from her academic background and clinical experience to thought provoking, educational, engaging interviews. The guests are fascinating and the host is a delight to listen to. 15/5 stars.

The Pleasure Liberation Group changed how I see my sexuality. I came in carrying so much shame and self-judgment, and left feeling deeply connected to my desire and at home in my body. Dr. Nicole’s guidance was both fierce and compassionate, helping me trust myself enough to explore. For the first time, pleasure feels like it belongs to me.

I didn’t realize how disconnected I was from my own pleasure until the Pleasure Liberation Group helped me return to it. Every session gave me tools, insight, and community. I’ve learned how to ask for what I want without shame and that has transformed everything. It was truly life-giving.

Being part of the Pleasure Liberation Group shifted everything for me. Listening, sharing, and practicing alongside others exploring their sexuality with such honesty cracked something open in me. Dr. Nicole held the space with such skill and care that I felt safe to truly explore. I left with a fuller sense of who I am and the confidence to live it.

Taylor
Our experience with Dr. Nicole has been nothing short of transformative. As a couple exploring non-monogamy, we faced numerous challenges and insecurities along the way. Dr. Nicole not only helped us navigate these hurdles with grace and compassion but also encouraged us to redefine our relationship on our own terms. Through her guidance, we've learned to communicate more effectively, prioritize pleasure in our individual lives, and embrace the beauty of non-monogamy.

The Pleasure Liberation Group was more than a course, it was a complete shift in how I relate. I no longer feel stuck in old patterns. With Dr. Nicole’s support and the magic of this group, I’ve started living my relationships with intention, joy, pleasure, and freedom. I can't thank her and the group enough.

I can't recommend Dr. Nicole highly enough for anyone seeking guidance in non-monogamy and pleasure exploration. As a queer individual, I've often struggled to find resources that truly understand the nuances of my identity and desires. From the moment I started working with Dr. Nicole, I felt seen and validated. Her expertise provided me with invaluable tools to navigate the complexities of multiple partnerships and embrace my authentic self.
