147. I Would Not Be the Woman I Am Today Without This Woman: An Intimate Conversation with Regena Thomashauer, aka Mama Gena, aka The Queen of Pleasure

What if one woman could change the entire trajectory of your relationship with your body, your desire, and your power—for the rest of your life?

In this deeply personal episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with the woman who did exactly that for me: Regena Thomashauer, also known as Mama Gena, the Queen of Pleasure.

I met Regena when I was 22 years old. I walked into her brownstone living room in New York City not knowing that a single class would reshape how I experienced my body, my relationships, my confidence, and my aliveness. I can say this without exaggeration: I would not be the woman I am today without her.

In this intimate, emotional conversation, we talk about what happens when women are taught to distrust their desire and what becomes possible when that conditioning is dismantled. Regena shares the origin story of Mama Gena, why reclaiming pleasure is not frivolous but revolutionary, and how appreciation becomes a doorway back to power. We explore why so many high-achieving women look successful on the outside while feeling disconnected internally and how pleasure is often the missing link.

We also go behind the scenes of her iconic Mastery program, including what it took to lead thousands of women at a time, why she ultimately chose to close that chapter, and what it cost her physically, emotionally, and spiritually to keep that portal open for so long. Regena speaks candidly about motherhood, lineage healing, partnership, surrender, and what it actually takes to receive deep love after a lifetime of armor.

This episode is about more than pleasure. It’s about life force. It’s about the creative power that fuels our work, our wealth, our relationships, and our leadership. It’s about what happens when women stop outsourcing their aliveness and start choosing it, even in hard seasons.

If you’ve ever felt successful but strangely disconnected… if you’ve built a powerful life but know there’s more vitality available to you… if you want to understand how pleasure, power, and purpose are inseparable—this conversation will meet you right where you are.

XO,
Kate
