Every so often you meet a woman whose work has already changed you before you ever share a room with her and for me, that woman is Regena Thomashauer. You know her as Mama Gena, the New York Times bestselling author of Pussy: A Reclamation and founder of the School of Womanly Arts. In this episode we go deep into her fifth book, On Our Knees, and the descent that inspired it: the moment she walked away from the stage, the mastery programme and the identity she'd spent decades building, with no guarantee of what was waiting on the other side. We talk about the myth of Inanna, healing trauma through pleasure, why the female nervous system is stuck in "brace mode", and how to fuck up gloriously. We even do a live 30-second practice you can play along with. It's raw, it's holy, it's hilarious and it will crack you open in the best way.

Highlights

• Regena vs Mama Gena — why the woman behind the boa is actually an introvert [03:54]
• On Our Knees — why Regena chose "our" instead of "your" and put herself in it with us [05:45]
• At the top of her game, making millions… and knowing it was time to "go home" [07:02]
• The part of the myth people skip: Inanna actually dies [15:04]
• The goddess who sat on her bed when she was five [22:30]
• Accidentally healing trauma through orgasm, and the chemistry of pleasure [30:16]
• The exhausted female nervous system in "brace mode", and why now is the time [36:03]
• A live practice: the 30-second temper tantrum, then rage meets turn-on [48:09]
• Where to get On Our Knees, and joining The Initiation launch [53:07]

Quotes

• "I was the head chorus girl in the kick-line of clinging."
• "The crown does its job too well. It gets you loved as the queen — right up until you wonder whether it's you they want, or they want to be close to your throne."
• "There's no version of the descent where you keep the crown and find out who you are without it."
• "It looks like loss right up until it doesn't."
• "The female brain calms for safety — and pleasure is one of the deepest signals of safety the body knows."
• "Women are the greatest untapped natural resource on this planet, and the time to tap is now."
• "That inner voice? That's not yours. That was installed probably around the same time you got your first bra."
• "The goddess doesn't run a prison — she runs an initiation."

Regena Thomashauer has spent three decades as one of the boldest voices in women's empowerment and has been featured on the Conan O’Brien Show, The Today Show, Oprah Daily, The New York Times and more. As founder of the School of Womanly Arts, she has taught hundreds of thousands of women worldwide to reclaim pleasure, desire, and sovereign power as the foundation of a fully lived life. Her New York Times bestseller, Pussy: A Reclamation was praised by The Washington Post for “taking back the p-word, turning it into a source of strength rather than a term of belittlement.” In her bold new book, On Our Knees: Loving Your Life Even When You Hate What's Happening (Hay House, August 2026), she makes an even more provocative and contrarian argument: that surrender may be the deepest expression of feminine power.

Faith + Action = Miracles

This one's for you if there's something you've been keeping in the shadows — a number, a truth, a part of you you're scared will be judged — that's quietly stopping you from showing up in your full power.

I'm coming to you with a completely different energy this week, and I know exactly why. I've been looking after myself: walking meditations, cutting the sugar, and finally having the HRT conversation I'd been avoiding for years (yes, we go there — consider this your TMI warning). But the big one? I shared my net worth on Instagram. Wildly vulnerable, terrifying to post, and the most freeing thing I've done in a long time. Because shame lives in the shadows — and the moment you turn a light on it, it loses its power.

I also get into John Demartini's work, why every single person you meet is part of your personal curriculum, and how one shift in perspective changes everything. Quick, honest, and hopefully deeply uplifting. And a reminder that faith plus action equals miracles.

Quotes

• "Shame lives in the shadows. As soon as you turn a light on it, it loses its power."
• "Maybe I'm not where I, in inverted commas, should be, but I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."
• "Every single human being that you come into contact with is part of your personal curriculum."
• "You can make your present circumstances completely different by just shifting your perspective."

Highlights

• 01:05 TMI, trigger warning — the one thing I decided I was no longer willing to tolerate
• 04:21 The wildly vulnerable thing I did on Instagram this week
• 05:30 Sharing my net worth: the reaction that surprised me, and the one judgey comment
• 06:38 Why shame lives in the shadows, and what happens the moment you turn on the light
• 09:02 Your invitation: where are you dimming yourself to avoid being judged?
• 13:59 Every person you meet is part of your personal curriculum

Faith + Action = Miracles

This one’s a little chaotic, and I’m owning that. I’m in Girona, fresh off the back of Summer School, body tired, mind absolutely buzzing.

I’m getting into what running the biggest free challenge I’ve done since 2021 actually taught me, why scaling is never as simple as “just do more of what works”, and the real reason so many people get stuck at six figures and can’t break through (hint: it’s not your strategy).

Plus the messy, magic way I got the clarity I came here for. And a reminder that faith + action = miracles.

Quotes

• “Core strategy matters, but the thing that’s holding you back is identity.”
• “You can’t change things all together all at once. You can only do a tweak here and a tweak there.”
• “There is no doubt in my mind that I have got what I came for.”
• “I’m so grateful for the version of me who says yes to experiences like this consistently.”

Highlights

• 02:28 Why my mind is all over the place, and what I’m sharing instead of a tidy debrief
• 03:36 The real numbers from the biggest free challenge I’ve run since 2021
• 06:46 Why “just scale what’s working” is never as simple as it sounds
• 15:19 The six-figure ceiling, and the first-child analogy that explains it
• 20:16 Two steps forward, three steps back? It’s not your strategy
• 22:29 The 30-second breakfast moment that handed me exactly what I came for

I’m hosting a one-day mastermind in Ibiza this September. Get on the wait list to be first to hear: suzyashworth.com/ibizawaitlist. And if you’re at six figures and ready to work on strategy and identity together, DM me the word ACCELERATE on Instagram.
