Embracing Pleasure

As women, we've been socialized to ignore our basic needs in order to prioritize others. This is by design, as it leaves little time or energy for pursuing pleasure -- a core need that truly makes life worth living. Believing that we don't deserve pleasure (or that pursuing it is shameful), often leads to complicated feelings when we try to explore and embrace what feels good to us. So, how do we break free from these inherited beliefs and begin the journey toward owning our pleasure? In this episode I interview Daniela Stevens, a trauma and attachment informed sex and intimacy coach who specializes in supporting couples and individuals to experience deep sexual connection and intimacy with themsleves and their partners. Together we discuss the human need for pleasure, why we ignore that need and how to give ourselves a permission slip for pleasure -- without guilt or shame.
