THE QUESTIONS YOU'D NEVER ASK OUT LOUD. ANSWERED ON AIR.
Hot & Healed is a weekly podcast about sex, intimacy, and the messages you absorbed before you knew you were absorbing them.
Each episode opens with a Confessional. A real listener question, submitted anonymously, read on air. No advice. No fixing. I name the pattern, locate where it came from, and give you language for what you're actually working with.
Topics include desire mismatch, religious sexual shame, postpartum bodies, performing pleasure, and the gap between what you were taught about sex and what you want now.
New episodes every Tuesday. Submit your Confessional below!

Meet the Host
Hot & Healed is the show I wished existed when I started this work. Most of what we learn about sex comes from silence, or shame. The result is a generation of adults trying to build pleasure on a foundation of avoidance.
Each week I open the Confessional. A real listener question, submitted anonymously, read on air. I name the pattern, locate where it came from, and give you language for what you're actually working with. No fixing. No advice. No pretending the messages we absorbed about our bodies came from nowhere.
If you grew up being told your desire was dangerous, your body was a problem to manage, or that good women don't ask for what they want, this show is for you.

Kind words from the listeners
- ALEX W., LISTENER
Most sex podcasts read like wellness content. Hot & Healed is a real clinician answering anonymous questions with no script and no hedging. The Confessional segment alone is worth the follow.
A licensed therapist who actually sounds like a person.
- SARAH K., LISTENER
I grew up evangelical and thought my body was broken. Hallel explains the wiring in plain language and never makes me feel small for the questions I'm asking. I've sent this podcast to four friends already.
- DEVON P., LISTENER
I have two kids under five and my libido has been gone for years. Hallel doesn't moralize. She tells me what's happening in my body and what I can actually do about it.
Finally a sex podcast for the body I actually have.
She named what fifteen years of purity culture did to me.

We've been married eleven years and stopped talking about sex around year three. The Confessional episodes start the conversation for us every week.
My husband and I listen on Sunday drives.
