34° – The Intimacy Podcast
What if intimacy isn’t just about sex or relationships, but one of the deepest expressions of what it means to be human?
34° explores intimacy, love, sexuality and human connection through conversations with psychologists, neuroscientists, therapists, authors, coaches and extraordinary people from around the world.
Together, we explore the questions that shape our lives: relational safety, desire, shame, attachment, emotional maturity, masculinity, femininity, healing, meaning, and the way we relate to ourselves, to each other and to the world around us.
Each conversation offers another perspective.
Another language.
Another way of understanding what it means to be human.
Because intimacy doesn’t exist in isolation.
It lives within our nervous systems.
Our childhood experiences.
Our relationships.
Our communities.
The society we create together…
This podcast isn’t about finding one answer.
It’s about asking better questions, holding space for different perspectives and building a richer shared language for navigating love, intimacy and human connection.
Because perhaps we don’t need another ideology.
Perhaps we simply need better maps.
Now listened to in more than 90 countries around the world.
Join the conversation.
Stay curious. Stay open. Stay human.

Most conversations about heartbreak end in the same place: how to leave, how to heal, how to finally move on.
This one starts there.
Breakup and mindset coach Rebecca Layla knows heartbreak from the inside. She grew up with instability, spent years drawn to emotionally unavailable partners, and did the work to break those patterns. Today she has the knowledge, the insight and the tools. What she doesn’t have yet is the kind of relationship she’s talking about. Neither do I. We’re all still learning.
So instead of answers, we explore the strange territory after healing. How do you tell chemistry from activation? Why can consistent love feel uncomfortable after a lifetime of inconsistency? Can boundaries quietly become walls? Can love feel deeply safe and still fully alive?
Along the way, Rebecca pushes back on some of healing culture’s favourite rules: that butterflies always mean trauma, that we need to diagnose everyone we date, and that safe relationships have to be beige.
We also return to an idea at the heart of this season: collecting maps. We all carry a map shaped by what we’ve lived, loved, lost and learned. Perhaps intimacy isn’t about finding someone with the same map, but becoming curious enough to understand each other’s, and brave enough to see whether they point in the same direction.
A conversation about what comes after moving on, and about becoming someone capable of recognising, receiving and building the right one.
Stay curious. Stay honest. Stay present. Stay human.
