How to center pleasure while living with chronic illness
from The Empowered Modern Witches Show · host Tenae Stewart
A personal and practical episode on what it actually looks like to center pleasure even when it feels like your body is working against you. I'm sharing about my IBS diagnosis and health journey, then breaking down my framework for the three types of pleasure: comfort, sensuality, and eroticism.I find that sensuality, specifically, is what makes it possible to live as both someone with chronic illness and someone who practices sacred pleasure every day.Key Topics:Why only talking about pleasure from a "privileged body" perspective leaves most people outThe three types of pleasure: comfort, sensuality, and eroticism as a spectrumWhy comfort is a radical, revolutionary act, not a consolation prizeThe distinction between sensual and sexual (it's in the word: senses, not sex)Sensuality as the bridge back to your body when your body feels like the enemyWhy dropping into your senses can sometimes open up access to eroticism you didn't know you had (if you want it to)Join us for the FREE Lover Within Summit on April 27-30, 2026 - it's a 4-day summit on pleasure, sensuality + sex magic to reawaken desire and reconnect with your body after grief, change, or burnout.Sponsored by The Body Witch, Invoke Boudoir, and Spirit ElementClick here to get your free ticket!
