Ep 33: Erotic Intelligence with Dr Amy O'Hana
Dr. Amy O’Hana, licensed professional counselor and Assistant Professor, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, at University of Western States, joins Helena and Mike to talk about our connection to our purpose and our work. The vitality, aliveness and alignment with our values we feel when that connection is strong is called Erotic Intelligence—and it has nothing to do with anything sexual.
We don’t all have to be enamored with our jobs or be living our highest purpose to have strong Erotic Intelligence.
In this episode:
🎙️What even is erotic intelligence?
🎙️How it can help us reconnect with our purpose
🎙️The key role Connection plays
🎙️The internal and external factors that play a role
🎙️Finding joy in the everyday things
🎙️The difference between disconnection and being disconnected
🎙️Why the answer to this question matters so much: “When was the last time you felt really alive?” (not including sex, drugs, alcohol, etc).
Dr. Amy O’Hana is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (CCE). She has been a full-time counselor educator for 19 years, manages her own private practice and has been the director of two counseling training clinics.

She has taught at UWS as a full-time CMHC faculty member since July 2021.
