from Her On Top

In this mini-episode of the Connected Pleasure Podcast, I’m diving into what it means to live “from the neck up”—stuck in our heads, disconnected from our bodies, and unable to fully access pleasure.So many of us have been conditioned to distrust our bodies, to push down emotions, and to operate only from the mind. But true pleasure, presence, and intimacy require embodiment.
