Itâs the end of an era. One year ago, we had no idea this was coming. And today, it seems like the most obvious thing in the world. The chapter of Desire on Fire is coming to an end. And with this death, comes an exciting and powerful re-birth.
We have been going through such an intense metamorphosis over the last year, both personally and professionally. While Ellieâs been gestating a baby, weâve been gestating this re-brand, re-birth.
Though our womenâs work isnât going anywhere, it became clear that the time has come to let go of our brand and business as weâve known it, to make space for a new depth and frequency of our womenâs work, and to create space for the menâs path, and co-ed work, within our community.
So, we are letting Desire on Fire die, and we are going into the void for the next three months, while Ellie is on maternity leave and Aimeeâs focusing on dating and making space for love & partnership. And in the spaciousness, weâre opening to receive the name of our new co-ed company. Weâre totally open to your name ideas!
Thank you for participating in our community and receiving our work so openly, as Desire on Fire. Weâre so grateful and excited to move through this big relationSHIFT with you. Thank you for being along for the ride with us.

Hey, beautiful souls! This weekâs episode feels vulnerable, yet important, to share with all of you.
I, Aimee, am letting you in on the intimate journey Iâve been on thatâs led me to decide to have a cosmetic surgery procedure. Iâm revealing my fears, feelings, and perspective-changes along the way, that led me to finally gifting myself something Iâve wanted for nearly a decade!
In this solo podcast, I share how my views on beauty, radiance, vanity and self-love have transformed and evolved over time.I also explore the pitfalls of the body positivity movement and the nuances and complexities of wanting to be a ânaturalâ woman, embracing her organic beauty, while also doing things to improve, upgrade and modify our body & appearance, in order to feel attractive, healthy and confident.
I hope this episode is valuable, and challenges your perspectives and beliefs around beauty, plastic surgery, body-love, and how you source your radiance!

Hi Desire on Fire fam! Ellie here. This weekâs episode is all about celebrating new beginnings, because we're diving deep into something you may have seen us share online and wondered about: the beautiful world of baby blessing ceremonies. This episode is inspired by the baby blessing Aimee recently hosted for me, as I enter the 3rd trimester and move closer to birthing my baby girl into the world. I want every mama to receive this kind of love and support, so I wanted to share what actually goes into hosting something like this, so you can create one yourself, if you feel called! And who better to navigate this journey with me than Aimee, who's always got amazing insights on creating meaningful experiences. We shared clear and simple steps, from who to invite, how to set it up, and how to structure your ceremony. So whether you're a soon-to-be mama yourself, a supportive sister, or just someone who wants to celebrate life passages in a way that truly matters, thereâs lots of gold for you in this episode.
We also made an invitation at the end of the episode to an incredible free virtual event a sister of ours is hosting, all about creating a new paradigm for pregnancy, birth, postpartum and motherhood!

Hey Desire on Fire fam, Aimee here! In March I attended ISTA level 2 (a deep, shamanic, initiatory training) in Bali, and Iâm finally ready to share with you about it. This training was intense, forcing me to face my protective mechanisms (especially with men), my fear of rejection, and my deep yearning to be loved, chosen, claimed and taken by a man. In this episode, I share about the messy, vulnerable, and at-times-humiliating journey I went on in this retreat, and the healing that came out of it. I share a particularly hot moment, and let you in on my experience meeting a couple that changed my life. Enjoy the listen!
Chapters:
03:41 Interrupting my Bali vacation for a deep personal initiation
07:02 Seeking personal insights and healing through this retreat
12:13 Revealing my fear of rejection and desire for acceptance.
16:20 Practicing polarity, surrendering, and a hot moment.20:27 Expressing gratitude, opening up about my fears and discomfort.
23:35 Sharing my insecurities about my attractiveness, receiving reassurance, and unexpected comfort.
24:36 Emotional experience, fear, joy, acceptance.
27:56 Sharing vulnerably led to feeling so seen, accepted, and loved by a man.
33:52 Sharing gratitude with a man who embodies what I'm seeking.

This week, we have a very special, long-awaited episode for you. We sat down with Rob Montgomerie to finally get his story out into the world (this is part 1 of a multi-part series)!
Up until now, Rob has been a private person, happily serving behind-the-scenes, coaching leaders of some of the most powerful companies in the world. You may not be aware that Rob has also been a huge supporter of our work at Desire on Fire, consistently backing us in a myriad of ways to grow as leaders and serve our community at the highest level.
But the birth of his son, Bear, two years ago, has ignited Rob even more deeply into his purpose, and called him step forward into a new role thatâs more public-facingâ in service of doing everything he can to support men especially, and do his part to create the world he wants to leave to his son.
Aimee and I have been asking Rob for YEARS to create a brother program to do the work we do with women at Desire on Fire, and Iâm so thrilled to share that he finally said yes!!
It begins mid-April, and itâs called The Kings Code. â€ïžâđ„
Rob has been walking his own deeply transformational path for close to two decades now, which he generously shares about (without holding back) in this episode. The incredible life he has created of impact, abundance, family, and contribution, is a reflection of how this man deeply embodies the King archetype, and we really canât imagine anyone more qualified to guide men on their awakening journey.
Inside the program, men will dive deep into rites of passage and archetypal psychology to help them claim their birthright as potent kings and leaders in their lives, relationships, and in the bedroom.
Expect to Uncover:
The delicate balance of sharing transformative experiences authentically.
How conventional success metrics can lead to personal emptiness.
An invitation to explore the Kingâs Code, for profound personal growth.

To listen to Jordan Candlish now, you might never guess he was once an ambitious ladder-climber in the corporate accounting world.
To the outside world, he was the picture of success: achievement, stability, recognition.
But deep down, he knew that staying in that world and doing things the way everyone else did them was actually playing small and safe with his life. He knew he was meant for more.
So he took the leap into his own healing and evolution, and itâs never been more clear to him that he made the right choice.
Today, Jordan facilitates The Path, a menâs coaching program that helps men heal old wounds, open up new possibilities and true purpose, and gain the maturity and confidence they need to live full-on in their lives and relationships.
Aimee sat down with Jordan in Austin for a wide-ranging and intimate conversation about why menâs personal growth work matters now more than ever, and why healthy brotherhood is so essential for men to thrive.
What youâll learn in this episode:
How Jordan went from high-powered corporate life to coaching men
Who he had to disappoint â and why he got okay with it
What propelled him into this work
The main issues that get addressed when coaching men
Jordanâs view of porn (and what he thinks men should do)
How he deals with controversy, failure, and criticism

In todayâs episode we sat down with our client and a college friend of Aimeeâs, Makayla Davis.
Sheâs in one of our all-time favorite photos taken at a Desire On Fire Live event. Sheâs crying, fully immersed in a private moment of reckoning, and sheâs holding the hand of her good friend.
Itâs an image that perfectly encapsulates what we do and why weâre here: to help women thaw out, connect deeply with their aliveness in every area of life, and do it all together, held in a powerful container of real sisterhood.
What Makayla reveals in todayâs conversation is that that moment happened at last yearâs Desire On Fire experience, in response to a question from Ellie onstage.
For 30 years, she had been standing on the sidelines with her desires. When she reconnected with Aimee on social media and started seeing her posts, she experienced a whole range of feelings: judgment, envy, resistance, curiosity.
The loudest message in her head was: Thatâs not for you. For someone else, maybe, but not for you.
Today we sat down with Makayla to get the whole story â what brought her here, what held her back at first, what had her finally say âyes,â and why thatâs made all the difference for her in her life, work, and relationships.
Makaylaâs journey is perfectly her own, and also super relatable. Sheâs finally finding her center; discovering what itâs like to look people in the eye for the first time and ask for what she wants; practicing saying what needs to be said, even when itâs hard and messy; and finally buying lingerie.
Itâs been a year of small steps that have added up to big transformation, with so much more ahead. If youâre wondering if this work is for you, or youâre curious but stuck because it feels way to edgy or taboo to talk about these things â we think youâre going to love this conversation.
In this episode, youâll learn:
All the doubts, judgments, and fears that kept Makayla on the sidelines for so long⊠and what finally had her jump in
The question on the first day that changed everything for her
Whatâs shifted for her in the year since she said yes to Desire On Fire

We love to hear from our community, and we love to share stories and breakthroughs with you! This work all happens inside of real lives⊠and thereâs no better way to understand its transformative power than hearing directly from the women who have been through our programs and events.
Last year, Prudence Stein-Greene was a successful real estate agent in LA â an extremely high-stress and high-drive industry.
At the time, she was struggling with a business decision, so when a friend invited Prudence to attend our Desire on Fire Experience live in LA, she said yes, thinking it would be a great opportunity to have a business breakthrough.
There was something else, something bigger that was underneath her reason for saying yes to DOFE: she was completely, utterly exhausted. With everything.
Her work was incredibly demanding. She was burning out and missing out on coveted time with her kids. She had no connection at all to what she even wanted â in her work, in her marriage, in her life. She resorted to controlling things and people around her, including her husband, blaming him for her dissatisfaction and why their marriage wasnât aligned.
Her friend encouraged her to spring for the hotel room, get away, and really devote herself to the work that weekend. She took the leap.
What happened in those couple of days changed everything. She had the business breakthrough⊠and a whole lot more.
We know youâre going to love this conversation with Prudence. Youâll get a real-life, down to earth take on what this work is, who itâs for, what it can do for you, and why we are SO passionate about getting women in a room together for this experience!
In this episode, youâll learn:
What her fears were coming into the event
The powerful breakthrough she experienced â and what it led to when she returned home
Whatâs different for her now in her life, work, and relationships
The big change she made that has allowed her to expand her ability to hold sensation in her body
The next steps she took after DOFE to fully claim her purpose, joy + passion

Have you ever had a moment in your life when all your pain and accompanying coping mechanisms finally caught up with you?
When you finally saw with total clarity that if you wanted to be able to have any kind of happiness in life, youâd have to face that pain and find healing?
Our guest today is the relationship and intimacy coach Stefanos Sifandos â and he shares how that moment of getting âcaughtâ forced him to reckon with a lifetime of abuse, fear, shame, and insecurity⊠and how that moment opened him up to the possibility of real love, deep connection, profound growth, and BIG impact on the world.
Today Stefanos is a husband and happy new dad, and in his work with individuals and couples, he helps people on the journey to loving all the parts of themselves that theyâve been trying to run from and getting back into healthy relationship with the core of what matters most to them.
And as he says: You canât run a new life from an old blueprint â and that applies to healing, surrender, intimacy, becoming a parent, and any kind of major personal transformation.
If youâve been on the verge of big change, and you know the time is right to face and heal your past, we think youâll be deeply inspired by this heartfelt conversation with Stefanos!
What youâll learn in this episode:
Where Stefanos got his start in transformational work
How and why becoming a parent can feel like a âregressionâ in personal growth
How shame holds us back â and what happens when we finally drop it
Practical tips for balancing your nervous system when youâre in anxiety & shame
How commitment actually leads to feeling more free
Join The Pleasure Revolution: a live, 5-day guided experience for those who are ready to release the hustle and see how much more you can magnetize with your feminine energy leading the way.

Weâve taken a break from our podcast lately â not because we donât love it, but because we realized we just needed to pull back on some aspects of the business to make room for all the change thatâs been swirling around us.
So today weâre back, and weâre sharing a deep-dive conversation about whatâs been going on in the business, in our relationships, and in our own personal growth as we navigate our transition to Austin together.
As we let the conversation flow, hereâs a theme that kept arising:
We are both deeply committed to practicing what we preach, and one of the most powerful opportunities we get to do that is when things are not working for us.
Itâs when we get stuck in âobligationâ energy that we have the chance to reconnect authentically with a desire-led life.
Itâs when our most intimate relationships are experiencing their biggest challenges that we get to lean into radical honesty, sisterhood, and surrender.
Itâs when life doesnât meet our expectations that we have the choice to either stay stuck in judgment and resentment⊠or move into looking at all the patterns that arenât serving us and find the true medicine.
Choosing desire as a way of life is not easy. It will bring up ALL your shit and bring you to your knees.
And as we keep finding: itâs also the key to unlocking a quality of freedom and joy in life that we couldnât even have imagined.
So listen in and catch up with us today!
What youâll learn in this episode:
Navigating the complexity of living together as friends and business partners
Aimee is confronted by her desire to go to Bali
Why conscious relating is not for the faint of heart
How to find the gold in situations that arenât meeting your expectations
What it means to surrender when youâre in the middle of true pain + challenge
Discerning when itâs time to surrender, and when itâs time to speak up
A sneak peek into Amyâs most recent Tantric experience

One of the things that consistently brings women into the Desire On Fire community is shame.
Shame around sex for sure â wanting it, knowing what you want, asking out loud for what you want (often the most difficult and vulnerable part of our journey).
But itâs not just about sexual shame. Itâs also about shame around all kinds of desire â for any kind of pleasure, fun, abundance, agency, freedom, or satisfaction.
Where does this shame come from? And how is it that even people who were raised outside of traditional religious environments and in sex-positive families (like Aimee and Ellie) still carry trauma and fear around sex and desire?
Our guests today have a unique perspective, because they grew up inside the conservative evangelical structures that gave rise to purity culture.
And through the long journey of exploration, unlearning, and finally being trained as sex therapists themselves, theyâve found a way forward towards healing, freedom, and wholeness â not just in their sex lives, but in the fullness of all kinds of desire.
If you grew up in purity culture (and spoiler alert: we all feel the effects of this paradigm, whether we grew up with religion or not), we think youâll find this conversation with Juila Postema and Jeremiah Gibson to be enlightening and deeply encouraging.
Julia and Jeremiah are currently the hosts of the Sexvangelicals, a sexual health podcast and education platform with the mission to support relationships in reclaiming sexuality following adverse religious experiences.
What youâll learn in this episode:
How Julia and Jeremiah found their way to freedom (and to each other)
What exactly is purity culture?
How purity culture affects even non-religious people
Why early + clear conversations around sex, pleasure, and desire are so important
How you can begin your journey to break free from sexual shame

Kevin Hermann is a highly skilled and experienced coach, specializing in business, leadership, and life coaching. Heâs led over 25 in-person retreats (thatâs a LOT of retreats!!).

If youâve ever been curious about menâs work â what it is, what it isnât, how itâs changing â then this episode is for you.
Youâll hear about what men are struggling with the most, what they need the most, and how connecting at a deeper level with themselves and other men is essential for their growth and wellbeing. (Sound familiar? We say the same about sisterhood all the time!)
You can find Kevin on Instagram where heâs riffing on the evolution of the masculine and exploring the connection between style and spirituality.
What youâll learn in this episode:
What Kevin thinks about polarity â its benefits and challenges for men and women
How Kevin responds to the question, Where are all the good men?
Why you canât push your man into being in a menâs group (and a better way to introduce it)
