Ryan Geist - Ego Death
starTEDover's podcast
Welcome to episode number 18 of starTEDover, the final episode of season one. My idea from the beginning was to produce 18 18-minute interviews that would inspire listeners and even save lives. Though my guest today was one of my first interviews, I wanted to save publication for the season’s finale because, frankly, my guest Ryan Geist could have used a story like his when he was experiencing his darkest days of addiction and psychosis.

Gretchen Shanks (she/her) is a Seattle-based sex and dating coach certified in the Somatica Method, an experiential and practical method of coaching grounded in the body.
Up until her early 40s, Gretchen struggled with dating, had only had sex a handful of times, and felt undesirable and unattractive. Years of talk therapy couldn’t shift the beliefs she had about herself. Then she got help from an intimacy coach and somatic body worker. She reset her body image issues, learned to confidently tap into her sexy side, and to approach dating, sex and all of her relationships with greater ease and enjoyment.
Now she gets great satisfaction helping others rewrite their stories around sex, intimacy, dating, and relationships to have the kind of experiences and connections they’ve always wanted. Regardless of what your relationship goal is (monogamous marriage, polyamory, a single life with lots of dating fun, or anything in between), Gretchen is excited to help you get there!
