Wendy's story & permission to talk about sex, money, shame, and dry vaginas (Episode 6)

April 6, 2026

Wendy Petties is a native New Yorker, psychologist, and founder of Sexy Money—built on one radical belief: pleasure can save your life. In this episode with Amy, Wendy holds nothing back. After 11 years fighting for fertility, a hysterectomy at 40, bankruptcy, and harassment at work that left her unable to get out of bed, Wendy reconnected with what she'd known in her 20s about pleasure. Not just sex—the daily, intentional kind. She became a millionaire, learned to ask for plenty instead of just enough, and now she gives women permission to talk about what nobody talks about: sex, money, shame, and why a dry vagina is a health crisis.
