🧩 WHO’S THERE? 🚪

Every knock carries a moment… a decision… a person… or even a conversation we weren’t ready to have.

Some doors we open with curiosity.
Others… we avoid altogether.

This episode?
It’s one of those doors.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

I was 11 years old when the song Let's Talk About Sex came out by Color Me Badd.

And if you grew up in the late 80s or early 90s, you probably remember what “the talk” looked like back then… awkward health class lessons, uncomfortable silence, and a whole lot left unsaid.

We learned just enough to be confused…
but not enough to truly understand connection, intimacy, or even ourselves.

Fast forward to today, and we’re still carrying some of those same questions… just in adult bodies.

That’s where my guest, Xanet Pailet, comes in.

Xanet is a nationally recognized sexuality educator, coach, and bestselling author of Living an Orgasmic Life.

Her story is powerful. She spent over two decades in a sexless marriage… before experiencing a complete personal awakening that changed everything.

Today, she helps people reconnect with their bodies, their desires, and something many of us have forgotten… that pleasure isn’t something to earn.

It’s something we’re born with.

🔥 EPISODE SUMMARY

This week on Other People’s Shoes, we walk into a conversation many of us were never taught how to have.

From awkward middle school memories to deeply personal adult experiences, this episode explores what happens when we finally face the topic of sex, intimacy, and connection head on.

With honesty, vulnerability, and zero fluff, Xanet Pailet shares her journey from disconnection to awakening… and challenges us to rethink everything we thought we knew about pleasure, relationships, and ourselves.

Because sometimes…
the door we avoid the most…

is the one that leads to healing.
