Welcome to the very first episode of Rewired & Desired — a podcast where intimacy, mindset, and disability meet real talk, real healing, and real empowerment.

In this premiere episode, your hosts Trina Ricketts (The Intimate Ostomate) and Nicole Richards [Ostomy Innovations] pull back the curtain and share who we are, how we got here, and why this podcast had to exist.

We talk about:

  • our personal and professional backgrounds
  • why intimacy matters so deeply — especially when disability, trauma, or illness enter the story
  • the experiences that shaped our work
  • the gaps we see in conversations about sex, relationships, and body-based confidence
  • the vision for this podcast
  • the kind of guests we plan to bring on
  • and the bold topics we won’t shy away from

If you’re someone who’s living with a disability, navigating life with an ostomy, healing from touch starvation, or simply craving more honest conversations about intimacy and self-connection… you’re in the right place.

This is a space for safety, rebellion, compassion, and truth — all wrapped into one.
