Sensory Wisdom, Sexual Wellness & BDSM with Mama Pistachio

What if your senses held the key to unlocking deeper pleasure and self-understanding?

In this rich and insightful episode, I talk with Angela Locashio—also known as Mama Pistachio—about her unique, intersectional coaching approach that empowers people to reach their goals in life, business, and especially in the bedroom. Angela introduces us to the concept of eight senses (yes, eight!), and shares how understanding sensory processing can help folks—particularly those who are neurodivergent—navigate the world and their sexuality with more ease and self-compassion.

We explore what BDSM is really about, why people are drawn to it, and how to approach it safely and intentionally—especially if you experience the world differently.

✨ In this episode:
• How sensory processing shapes intimacy
• What BDSM can teach us about consent, trust, and regulation
• Tips for navigating sexual wellness as a neurodivergent person
• The 8 senses and how they impact your erotic life
• Reframing sexuality as part of your full, empowered self
