Episode 5: Re-Writing our Relationship to Desire

Summary What does it mean for a woman to want without shame? In this episode, Anna Gouin explores how we've been taught to mistrust our hunger — for pleasure, for intimacy, for life itself. Through somatic practices and grounded presence, she unpacks how desire isn't something to suppress or control, but a compass guiding us back to authenticity and fuller self-expression. This conversation invites you to reframe your relationship with wanting, so that desire becomes a source of power rather than self-doubt.
