Episode 73: Pleasure as Medicine

In this sensual, liberating episode I chatted with Leola, a pleasure priestess, and bestselling author of Sacred Sex Ed, to explore how pleasure is actually the gateway to your personal power and collective evolution.Leola now facilitates Tantra retreats and teaches women to reclaim their feminine and step into orgasmic leadership but she wasn't always on this path. A significant part of her becoming story includes a turning point that came through medicine work. Leola accidentally discovered her life's work through a few chance happenings that she shares all about. We also discuss how sexuality and the willingness to be vulnerable, naked, and vocal about your desires is the ultimate training ground for boundaries and self-advocacy everywhere else in your life. If you can ask your lover for exactly what you want while completely exposed and vulnerable, you can ask your boss for a raise. You can set boundaries with anyone. You can reclaim your power.The conversation touches on the practical magic of this work: how money is just energy and flow, how the universe mirrors back to you what you're ready to embody, how coming to your lover with "queen energy" matters infinitely more than perfect lingerie or a perfect body. Seduction is a vibe. Power is a vibe. And both are available to you right now.This isn't just about better sex (though that's a beautiful side effect). This is about reclaiming the feminine power that patriarchal systems have tried to bury. It's about stepping into your full radiance in the bedroom, in the boardroom, and beyond.If you grew up with shame around your body. If you've been told pleasure is selfish or sinful. If you're ready to reclaim your power through the portal of your own aliveness: this conversation is for you. Bless this holy life. Your pleasure is not an accident. It's your birthright.Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.Connect with BijouIG: ⁠@mushroommamasita⁠Website: ⁠mushroommamasita.comConnect with LeolaIG: https://www.instagram.com/leolatalkstantraWebsite: https://www.talktantratome.com/links
