Wake Her Up

Salad. Donuts. Or... the whole buffet?Marcella is back with her favorite co-conspirator Ashlyn (@this.isashlynn) for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, healing, and long overdue.They were both raised in the Mormon church — where sex was sacred, self-pleasure was a confessional offense, and your body was something to be managed, not enjoyed. So now that they're out? They've had to completely rebuild their relationship with one of the most natural things in the world.The question on the table: is sex like salad — nourishing, wholesome, good for you — or is it like a donut — indulgent, a little naughty, and something you still kind of feel guilty about after?Spoiler: it's neither. It's both. It's the entire buffet.They get into the programming that never fully goes away, the weird guilt that shows up even when you know better, and what it actually looks like to reclaim pleasure when you were taught it wasn't yours to have in the first place. It's raw, it's funny, and it's the kind of conversation that will make you feel a lot less alone.Pull up a plate. This one's a full spread.We give you full permission to indulge in the full buffet of self pleasure! Go check out our favorite intimacy toys made just for WOMAN like us!!!

In this empowering episode of Wake Her Up, we’re diving headfirst into a topic that hits close to home for so many of us—our bodies. We’re unmasking the shame that society has tied to body size and breaking through the narrative that smaller equals better. Together, we’ll explore the delicate balance between embracing ourselves as we are and nurturing our health and strength with intention and self-compassion. You’ll hear why our bodies are not the measure of our worth and how to shift from shame to body neutrality—and ultimately, to love and care. With Sharon’s famous mantra, DO IT FAT, we’re redefining what it means to live boldly, unapologetically, and authentically in the body we have right now. Join us as we uncover how to rewrite the story society has handed us, step into a space of acceptance and action, and learn to live fully—no matter our size. If you’re ready to move from judgment to joy, this episode is your wake-up call. Let’s do this! ✨ Don’t miss a moment—follow, subscribe, and share Wake Her Up with your friends.
