Masters of the Boardroom: Bedroom Boredom

What happens when mastery at work doesn’t translate to intimacy—or aliveness?
In this episode of Skin & Soul, Gwenm sits down with Flora Petri to explore the quiet disconnect many high-performing men live with: outward success paired with internal numbness. Together they unpack performance, burnout, erotic intelligence, and why so many leaders can command rooms yet feel absent in their own bodies, relationships, and pleasure.
Flora shares her journey from corporate law and diplomacy into embodied leadership and why presence, pleasure, and intimacy aren’t indulgences, but the foundation of sustainable power. This conversation moves between boardroom and bedroom, asking what kind of leadership is possible when men stop performing and start inhabiting themselves.
This is an episode about eros as intelligence.
About power that can feel.
