Barbara Carrellas is an author, sex/life coach, sex educator, university lecturer, motivational speaker and theatre artist with a knack for exploration.

Barbara Carrellas is a big name in her field: a pioneer whose work has spanned decades, sparked originally by the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and carried forward with unwavering devotion. Over the years she has written books, taught around the world and changed countless lives through her exploration of joy, pleasure and freedom in the mind, body and heart.

I had the privilege of sharing a bath with Barbara at the cusp of her latest book launch, a moment that felt both intimate and historic. 

In this episode, we return to where it all began: the roots of her work, the experiences that shaped her and the character behind the teachings. We explore what matters to her and how she unboxes life in all its forms. She offers a rare glimpse into her long‑term lovership with Kate Bornstein, a relationship that has held depth, creativity and devotion for many years.

This is a beautiful episode to deepen into the woman behind an extraordinary body of work and behind an exciting new book for anyone who wants MORE THAN.
