Sex, Love & Money with Rebecca Antonucci

You finally meet a good man, and your body tells you to run.

You’ve done the work. You know your worth. Your standards are high and your boundaries are strong. So why does the safest love feel like the biggest threat?

Sigrid knows that feeling. She had her heart broken over the phone, twice. Then she met the healthiest, most adoring man of her life, and nearly ran. In this episode, she shares what it took to stay.

We get into why a tiny comment can set off a huge alarm, and how to tell a red flag from an old wound. Sigrid explains the difference between boundaries and electric fences. And she makes the case that your sweetness was never what got you hurt, while your armor is what keeps you alone.

If you’ve ever said “I’ve got it” when you were desperate for help, Sigrid’s story about her father will break you open.

Her book Honey and Fire says what most women won’t: you can’t keep punishing good men for what one man did. Hold the ones who hurt you responsible, and let the rest be free.

Because the armor you built to survive him is the same armor keeping your person out.

She was told she was “too masculine” and “too successful,” and that she’d have to settle. She cried off her makeup in a gala bathroom. Then she burned her dating list, went on a couples trip as the 11th wheel, and met her husband.

In this episode, Christine Hassler shares how she went from doubting love would ever come to calling in her soul match at 40. We get into why your standards might actually be protecting you from love, why “just pick one” is terrible advice, and why finding The One is a recognition, not a choice.

I went to Burning Man expecting one of the most magical, life-changing experiences of my life. Instead, I hated it.
In this episode, I’m sharing my very honest experience of my first Burning Man, why it didn’t live up to the hype, and the unexpected lesson it taught me about expectations, disappointment, and surrender.
Because sometimes it’s not the experience itself that creates our suffering, but the story we’ve created about how it’s supposed to unfold.

You scroll past another beautiful woman selling access to her body, making more money than your teacher, your mother, or the founder building something extraordinary. What does that teach the next generation of girls about where a woman's power actually lives?

Ella Molony Cook became a millionaire at 24. Before that she was a swimwear model featured in Maxim, sharing her body — and deeply personal parts of her life — with the entire internet. Now she's a four-time founder and investor building Time Rich, a community for ambitious women, and one of the only women speaking loudly about AI as a tool for female financial independence.

We get into why she's walked back the public, sexualized version of herself online, what it actually felt like to become a millionaire at 24 (hint: it wasn't glamorous), the childhood with a professional-gambler father and an exotic-dancer mother that shaped her entire relationship with money, and how she used AI and crypto to 12x her own mom's retirement savings in under seven months. She also makes the case for why women sitting on the sidelines of AI are about to get left behind, and why so much of that fear is manufactured by men who want to sell you an expensive, complicated solution.

You've heard all the dating rules a hundred times. Don't text first. Let him lead. Act like you don't care. But what if all of that is exactly what's keeping the right guy away?

Ben Hart has built his entire career around the first three months of dating — the window between meeting someone and deciding if it's real. I sat down with him in New York City to get into his theory that women don't actually understand men, especially the ones they want most, and the programming behind messages like "if he wanted to, he would" that he thinks is quietly working against the women who actually want commitment.

We get into the heartbreak that actually built his whole business, why he waited months before sleeping with his own girlfriend, my own boundary for keeping the first eight dates out of the bedroom, and the one thing Ben thinks female dating advice online is missing entirely: teaching women how to actually appreciate and love men.

You've done the healing work. The therapy, the embodiment, the forgiveness ceremonies, the cord cuttings. You thought you were done. And then something small happens, an ex gets engaged, an old memory resurfaces, someone from your past shows up in a comment section, and the resentment is right there, exactly where you left it.

That happened to me this week. My most recent ex got engaged, and underneath the genuine happiness I felt for him, I found a much older resentment still sitting there, toward a relationship that ended 13 years ago. I brought it up twice on recent podcast episodes because this resentment and these memories were so alive, and then I spent days in judgment about it. Why am I still talking about this? Why haven't I let this go?

I understood that this is my personal mountain top to climb, and this is exactly what is in the way of the life and love that I desire the most.

I received a message that was gentle but loud, and the message said, “can you bless the people who hurt you?” Not just forgive them. But truly bless them. Pray they receive the exact things you desire for yourself.

Perhaps after all of the inner work you have done, this is the peace you have been praying for.

You were not born a great lover. And neither was he.

Great lovers are made. That's not a motivational line — it's the entire premise of this episode. Sex is a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and mastered. The problem is that nobody is having that conversation — especially not men.

Men will ask their friends about the best protein powder, the best gym program, the best stocks to investment in. But ask them if they know how to satisfy a woman? Silence. That conversation doesn't happen. And women are paying the price for it in long-term relationships, in beds where their needs go unmet, in the quiet frustration of knowing something is missing but not having the language for it.

Kenneth Play is a sex educator, author of Beyond Satisfied, and the man GQ named the greatest sex hacker alive. He has spent years studying, teaching and practising what most people are too embarrassed to say out loud — and in this episode he brings all of it to Sex, Love and Money.

We get vulnerable. I share my own experience of sexual dissatisfaction in long-term relationships and Kenneth works with me to understand not only I like in the bedroom, but more importantly why I like it. Together we unpack the concept of eroticism and why this is the easiest skill to teach which will make sex mindblowing.

We get into Kenneth's extraordinarily unique marriage — where his wife has two husbands, they all live together, and she has now had a baby with her other husband who Kenneth met at a gang bang

And we talk about the variety of different relationship constellations available, why you would or would not choose it for yourself, what it actually takes to become the kind of lover that changes someone's life.

This is the episode that starts a conversation most people are too scared to have.

You've heard me interview everyone else. This time, I handed over the mic.

Chris Griffin takes over Sex, Love & Money and interviewed me — live from New York City — and asked me the questions I ask everyone else. What's inspiring me right now. What I'm really aching for. What the heartbreak at 25 actually cost me. Why I refused to date until I was financially free. And what it felt like to spend years chasing business, money and freedom, only to realize that the thing a woman naturally aches for was the one thing I hadn't let myself have.

This episode is the most personally exposed I have ever been on this podcast. Chris went there. And I didn't hold back.

We talk about the soul-shattering breakup at 25, and the pain I carried from it for 13 years. The wealthy men I dated when I was broken and what I was actually trying to get from them. Why I was $100k in debt and refused to let myself fall in love until I wasn't. Why friction in a relationship isn't the enemy - it's the invitation. And why I am now fully, completely, burn-the-boats all in on love.

This is the episode where you finally get to hear my story from the other side of the mic.

How many times today have you said "fine" when you weren't?

We were all taught to play the middle C. Fine. Good. Okay. But you have 88 keys, and playing only one for your entire life is what Mama Gina calls the formaldehyde of the soul.

Regen Thomashauer - known to the world as Mama Gena - is a New York Times bestselling author, pleasure revolutionary, and one of the most alive human beings I have ever sat across from. She has spent 30 years teaching women to choose their pleasure, connect to their bodies, and leave what she calls Planet Patriarchy, and she's made millions, written five books, and raised a beautiful daughter doing it.

In this episode she turns the mic on me. I tell her about the ex I haven't been happy for in 13 years. She tells me I haven't healed it because I haven't actually grieved it. And then she makes me have a full temper tantrum and express my rage erotically live on my own podcast, and I have to say, it opened something for me.

We get into why falling apart is the portal, why your body is more powerful than your mind, why "fine" is keeping you smaller than you are, and why the woman who chooses her pleasure first gets to have it all.

This one cracked something open in me. I think it'll do the same for you.

There is a difference between a woman who is ready for a man, and a woman who is ready for her match.

The first woman can go out right now and get a boyfriend. That's not hard. But the woman who is ready for her match doesn't go out and get him. She becomes ready for him. She becomes the signal he can find. Because you can't go and get your match, you can only become an energetic match to him.

That's the hill I'm dying on. And this episode is the why.

I know you love my storytelling, and in today's episode I get vulnerable about a recent dating experience. On our final evening together I asked him for feedback. He told me my sex expectations were too high. That it's realistic for a woman not to orgasm 10 to 20% of the time. I tell you exactly what I said, what I realized in that moment, and why any man who is not your match will hear your standards and feel pressure, while your king will hear them and feel curious.

Little boys take your standards as pressure. Kings see them as a map.

We answered your most burning dating questions.

You sent in your messiest, most confusing, most painful dating situations, and we answered every single one.

Amy Rushworth is back for a Q&A episode, and this one goes places. Eight real DMs from real women in the community. The man who was perfect for four months and then disappeared. The guy who asked her to watch porn. The partner who won't go to therapy. Whether men can ever really just be friends with women. And yes — we get into cheating. Including the one time I cheated, what drove me there, and why I think most cheating is a symptom of something that was already broken long before the act itself.

Amy brings her Red Flag Handbook expertise to every single question, and nothing gets a soft answer.

If you've got a situation you've been sitting with, chances are it's in this episode.

You didn't learn to center men because you're weak. You learned it because the world taught you to.

We grew up in a society built around male needs, male timelines, male approval. And even the most financially independent, self-aware, high-achieving women are still carrying that conditioning into their dating lives, shrinking, over-giving, measuring their worth by whether he calls back. The patriarchy didn't just affect the workplace. It got inside how we love.

And it's quietly destroying your dating results.

Decentering men isn't a feminist buzzword. It's the most practical dating strategy there is. Because the moment you stop making him the main character and start living from the identity of the chosen woman, before any man shows up, everything changes. The men you attract change. The way they treat you changes. The dynamic changes entirely.

Amy Rushworth is back on Sex, Love and Money and we are going there. Amy calls her own relationship a miracle, because with her past trauma and her history, becoming the woman she is inside her ten year relationship is the real achievement. She got there through deep identity work and she now supports thousands of women to do the very same. To start living as the chosen woman now.

She made it to the FIFA World Cup with $114 in her bank account.

Her federation withheld her pay. Her fiancé cheated and kicked her out. All her belongings were packed into a Jeep she didn't want in a city she hated. And she sat in an Einstein Bagels parking lot, crying, about to board a flight to represent her country on the world stage.

That's where Lo Silver's business began.

Lo is a FIFA World Cup athlete, sales coach, and one of the most unapologetically herself women I've ever sat across from. She went from $20,000 a year playing professional soccer to her highest revenue month ever — and she did it by refusing to accept that the life she was living was the only option.

In this episode we get into how she paid off $35,000 in credit card debt in 30 days after getting scammed by a mentor, why messy action beats mindset work every time, and the moment she closed a $20,000 deal on a sales call — then walked back onto the pitch and knew she was done with soccer forever.

We talk about what's actually keeping women broke, why your inability to take action is the only block that matters, and why being willing to look like a loser in public is the fastest path to winning.

You hit the goal. You built the thing. You became the person you said you wanted to be. And somewhere in there, you stopped feeling it. Not burned out exactly. Not ungrateful. Just quietly aware that the life you worked so hard to build doesn't feel the way you thought it would. That's not a success problem. That's a fulfillment problem. And they're not the same thing.

Sean Gray has spent years working at the intersection of high performance and human fulfilment, with founders, executives, and women who are winning on paper and wondering why it still feels like something is missing. In this episode he breaks down what fulfillment actually is, why achievement alone will never get you there, and what it looks like to build a life that doesn't just look good but actually feels like yours.

We get into the stories we inherit about what a good life looks like, why the most driven people are often the least fulfilled, and what has to shift internally before anything changes externally. This is the conversation for the woman who has done everything right and is quietly asking herself, is this it?

Since October last year I've been going through a massive internal shift. Working harder than ever, producing less than ever, and trying to force an old version of me to keep working when she was already done. This episode is what I've learned from that, the difference between a high performing woman and an over functioning one, why your old strategies stop working before you're ready to let them go, and what it actually means to upgrade your identity instead of burning yourself out trying to stay the same.

Most women were never taught about their pleasure. Most men were never taught about women's pleasure. So we've all just been winging it, and nobody talks about the damage that does.

Women are leaving relationships. Women are cheating in relationships. Women are lying in bed saying the sex was great when really it wasn't, because they were never taught they were allowed to ask for more. And men are assuming everything is fine because she never said otherwise.

If you have ever pretended it was fine when it wasn't. If you have ever let him roll over and go to sleep without saying a word. If you have ever wondered why you keep ending up here, this episode will name the thing you've never been able to.

Your pleasure is not a bonus. It is not a nice-to-have. It is a non-negotiable. And if you've never said that out loud, this is the episode where you start.

What we cover:

•

Why nobody taught us about women's pleasure — and what that silence has cost us

•

The difference between a man who gives because he wants to and one who gives out of obligation

•

Why women cheat — and what men still refuse to acknowledge about it

•

If your partner brings you a need and you won't meet it, expect it to be outsourced

•

How to communicate your non-negotiables in bed without shutting down or blowing up

TIMESTAMPS

00:00: The conversation no one is having honestly about sex

01:35: Most women were never taught their pleasure matters — and most men weren't either

27:20: The four types of men in bed — and the one that belongs in the bin

58:27: Underneath most cheaters is an unmet need, and nobody wants to say it

1:06:14: Your pleasure is a non-negotiable. Here's how to communicate it.

A nervous man is not the same as an unavailable man.

A man who talks too much about himself on date two is not the same as a man who can't show up for you. A man who takes time to ask the right questions is not the same as a man who never will. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped telling the difference between a red flag and a human being.

Real standards protect you. But sometimes what we call standards is actually a wall, and it's costing us the very thing we say we want.

Modern dating has taught us to spot every red flag fast. What it hasn't taught us is how to tell a red flag apart from a man who's simply still learning you. This episode is about that gap, and what it might be costing you.

---

WHAT WE GET INTO

•

The difference between a red flag and a man who's simply still learning you

•

How to tell the difference between high standards and self-protection

•

Why a man holding his boundaries under pressure is the real test

•

Giving good men grace without abandoning your non-negotiables

TIMESTAMPS

00:00: Red flags deserve an exit. A nervous man does not.

12:16: Are your standards protecting you, or cock-blocking your own love story?

54:39: Why it's not naive to background-check a man you're falling for

You've wondered about it. Maybe you've even fantasised about it.

What would it actually be like to open up your relationship? Would it fix what's missing, or would it blow everything up?

Tyler Ippoliti has been married for 8 years and polyamorous for 6 of them. In this episode he takes us all the way in: the first threesome that was awkward as hell, the night his wife went on a date with a man from her past and he sat with his anxious attachment in real time, the relationship he had to grieve while planning to have kids, and the deep-end experience with another couple that nearly broke all of them.

We talk about jealousy, attachment, sexual health conversations, and why he believes opening a relationship won't fix a single thing that's already broken, it just adds gasoline. We also get into why so many men in open relationships don't disclose it upfront, and what that says about what they're actually doing.

This one is honest, uncomfortable in places, and might just answer questions you've never said out loud.

WHAT WE GET INTO

•

What actually happens the first time you try a threesome with your partner

•

Why opening a relationship won't fix what's already broken

•

The anxious attachment that comes up when your partner is on a date with someone else

•

Why men in open relationships often don't tell you until date three — and what that means

•

Jealousy: where it actually comes from and how to work with it

TIMESTAMPS

00:00: What open and polyamorous actually mean, and the difference between them

03:55: The first threesome, and why it was awkward as hell

14:08: The date that triggered his deepest anxious attachment

28:55: Ending a relationship to start trying for kids, and how his wife held him through it

49:32: The deep end: falling in love with another couple, and why it nearly broke everyone

1:02:58: Why opening a relationship adds gasoline, not water, to existing problems

1:08:10: Jealousy, fantasy, and what it's actually telling you

You live in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

You also live in a country where women are afraid to be seen trying. Where standing out invites being cut down. Where your bigness makes other people uncomfortable, and somehow that becomes your problem to manage.

I love Australia. But this is an honest episode.

In America, women tell me I inspire them. In Australia, they walk up and say, “I just want you to know, you're a trigger for me.” Woman after woman. And I've spent a long time working out what I'm meant to do with that. This episode is where I landed.

Tall poppy syndrome is real. The fear of being seen trying is real. And the price women pay for staying safe, the clipped wings, the unlived dreams, that's real too. I'm done cuddling insecurities to make people comfortable around my standards. This is permission for you to stop doing it too.

I read Roger Federer's graduation speech, where he reveals that despite winning 80% of his career matches, he only won 54% of the points. That one stat broke something open in me about what it means to go after your dreams without needing every step to be the right one.

WHAT WE GET INTO

•

Tall poppy syndrome and what it's actually costing you

•

Why someone else being triggered by your bigness is not your problem

•

The difference between being inspiring and being a trigger

•

Why your desires are hiding if you're hiding them

•

Roger Federer only won 54% of his points, and what that means for your next step

Episode 200. The most honest thing I've said about where I come from.
