Overwhelm, Stress, The Nervous System & Reclaiming Your Libido

I've taken a slightly more vulnerable approach to this episode. As I launch my signature pleasure program, Sensual Sx, which promotes pleasure, vitality, feminine expression, and having really, really incredible sx... But I'm mindful of the harm that this can cause to women who simply aren't there right now.We live in a sex-crazed society. One that celebrates the DTF  energy that expects up to be instantly wet & constantly horny. But what about when we just don't want to have sx? What about those periods throughout our life when life gets in the way, our hearts feel heavy and desire is completely out the window?I'm here to offer a refreshing perspective on healthy sexuality, one that relieves us all of the unrealistic expectations of sx, and gives full permission for our bodies to thrive in their own way, & at their own pace.Topics include:- Stress, hardship, pain, and how it affects female desire.- Getting real about what your motivators are for this (this is a crunchy one!).- Why low libido is not a valid diagnosis.- Why it’s OK to not want sx all the time. - Is it desire, or are you boared? (Also a crunchy one!).- The four Sexual seasons & why we need to normalize them.- Why trust is the biggest aphrodisiac.- How to say FU to shit that makes you feel contracted.As well as some insights into my personal experience with desire, or lack thereof.Enjoy xxxListen to my episode with Rachel Garbary: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3RIK2TCdY9rQ7kz2vvaL3P?si=86d61e86498c49deJoin Sensual Sex: https://laura-ellen.com/sensual-sexWork with Laura Ellen:Book a connection call: https://calendly.com/lauraellen/discoverySELF SOURCED: www.laura-ellen.com/self-sourcedSensual Sex: www.laura-ellen.com/ss-mailing-listLingam Loving: www.laura-ellen.com/lingam-lovingYUM RETREAT:Wānaka 17th-21st Sept.www.laura-ellen.com/yumDiscover DIY Online Courses:Website: www.laura-ellen.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_laura_ellenDonate to The Sexual Wellness Podcast:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KJLSUE4X7CCF8If you’re loving the show and are excited to get this content in the ears of those who need it most, you can offer a one-off or monthly donation.
