What if the very moment your world falls apart is actually the doorway to your next expansion?

This week on The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Regena Thomashauer, known to her students as Mama Gena, founder of Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts and author of the brand-new book, On Our Knees.

We talk about what surrender really means, why it isn't giving up, and how staying connected to our erotic aliveness, even in our darkest moments, can turn collapse into our most powerful portal for transformation.

Regena breaks down the real chemistry behind pleasure, oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins, and prolactin, and why it's one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools we have for healing anxiety, grief, and even trauma.

If you're in a season that feels like you're on your knees, whether it's heartbreak, uncertainty, grief, or just sheer exhaustion, this conversation is your permission slip to fall apart with your aliveness fully intact. It's tender, wild, and deeply freeing.

Guest Bio

Regena Thomashauer, aka "Mama Gena," has spent three decades as one of the boldest voices in women's empowerment. 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 socials have nearly 200K dedicated fans, and 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 (August 25, 2026 / Hay House), she makes a provocative, contrarian argument: surrender is the key for women to stop swallowing our desires, truly embody the deep confidence we deserve, and Live Out Loud. Reframing "falling to your knees" not as collapse but as transformation, Regena argues that real healing begins not through coping or endlessly optimizing yourself, but through the kind of embodied experience that strips away performance and reconnects women to their grief, desire, rage, pleasure, sensuality, and aliveness.
