So welcome, dr Fanny. Dr Fanny Leboulanger (Guest) Hello, Thank you for having me. I'm excited. Gloria "Grace" Rand (Host) Wow me too. So, yeah, I love asking our guests to kind of give a little background on themselves and tell us about you know this journey, because I know that you've been on an interesting journey, I think of how you got to be where you are today, so I wonder if you would share that with our audience. Dr Fanny Leboulanger (Guest) Of course, I love that question. I have a pretty basic story of life knocking at the door and me being like I'm not listening, and life knocking again and me I'm not listening, until things crashed. So what happened is I am a French physician and during med school I had a diagnosis of epilepsy. Age 26, out of the blue, you are allowed to have one seizure in your life. When you have a second one, that's called epilepsy, and so you need treatment. So I had to start looking and do some self-inquiry. What happened at that moment is how I noticed how I was proud of submitting my body Like my body is a tool that is a service of my mind. My mind was so proud I am the one in charge and you were following what I decide. Until, literally, my body switched my brain off. So I had to do some digging. Then I started to dive deep into the self-development work. I love that, and I also spent a lot of hours, months, years and also a lot of money in things that would not make me feel that great. I have a loved one I thank her for that who said to me, “with all the work that you're doing with yourself, how come you're still miserable?” ouch, but true. And so I started to want to dig deeper a little bit. And then there was this life combination moment. The universe has the secret of with a few things arriving at the same time. I had many patients. I work in gynecology on a daily basis. I don't have a title of a gynecologist, but I do the gyno work, apart from delivery and birth. But like everything else, I can do that, Pap smears, birth control, IUDs, like that and so I had many, many people that were coming to me with issues I had no answer to, and the exams I was prescribing had no answer. People having pain and me being like, okay, I guess you're gonna need to go see a sexologist. Until the point it was like three patients out of four and I was like there's something wrong. If I need to send 75% of my patients to a sexologist, there has to be something else. I also remember this woman being 34 and whispering like doctor, I think I'm broken because I'm 34 and I never had an orgasm. And I was considering myself lucky because I had orgasms before and I was starting to feel a little bit weird about getting them only from my partner, as if suddenly like, yeah, I don't know what's happening here. So I started digging. I discovered the teacher that I studied under. Her name is lila martin. She's amazing and um. So I started bringing this modified tantric wisdom with my medical knowledge and, thanks to that, I have a zero bullshit tolerance. That's where I think my sassy French physician title that I give myself comes from, because I truly believe we wouldn't change our lives if we do the real work, and I also truly believe that we can bypass and lose so much time, so much energy and so many, or at least so much, inner wisdom and lifeness in doing, yeah, some that at least are not as efficient or, as I'm not going to say interesting, because it's always interesting there are definitely ways to act or fast track your self-evolution if you do the real work, and in my totally biased opinion you're gonna say me, you're gonna hear me say that a lot it's how, when things start to change, when you bring your body with you and bring your body with you, and the best way to do that is to do it with pleasure. Gloria "Grace" Rand (Host) Okay, tell me a little bit more about this, though. So you especially when you mentioned that you're having to discovering that all these people seem to be having this issue. So how does I guess discovering or learning to maybe even find pleasure for yourself, how does that translate into or maybe I shouldn't say you know, what are the benefits of it beyond the strictly physical about it? Dr Fanny Leboulanger (Guest) First there is the whole chemicals and things that help your system feel good and, on a really basic and simple level, pleasure is your birthright. If you have a female at birth body and if you have a clitoris, you have a dedicated organ designed for pleasure, with no other purpose than pleasure, and I truly believe again, totally biased opinion, that honoring that is a way to honor your birthright. And when you honor your birthright, suddenly things start to change, sometimes for the best, because you're realigned to your core and true you truly are. You understand how you feel, what you want. And also sometimes it brings a lot of shit too, like all of the things that you have put lovingly under the rug for years, or things that you haven't looked at, or things that you have consciously or unconsciously avoided, and all of that creates change. You will get that right back into your face and since you are changing, there are also many people who will be like what the f*ck is happening to you. So that's really reclaiming the beauty of all and that's pleasure, at least for me, is the only way I found to get a little bit closer or further on that journey. Gloria "Grace" Rand (Host) Now, and as you’re talking though, I’m thinking there’s… I don’t know if it’s still as much today, but I know for me, certainly, growing up there’s a lot of stigma against it. And a lot of, you know, and again, I grew up Catholic, and you're going to go to hell, frankly, if you're going to do something like that. Because sex is for procreation, that's it , you know.You're supposed to be, I think pleasure is a byproduct, except that I've also done reading and talking to other people that you know. Frankly, it's especially between two people. It can really be almost a when you connect with someone, well, that it can be this really holy connection. So, but if… so, what would be well, I guess maybe the question I'm going to ask you is what would you say to someone who's like you know, who still kind of feels that you know this is something that they might feel guilty about or feel shame about? How do you handle that? Dr Fanny Leboulanger (Guest) The sentence that I say the most, I think, is you're not broken, there is nothing wrong with you. It's the system that we are living in that is twisted and that is making us feel guilty or afraid or all of these byproducts from the society we're living in. So there's nothing wrong with experiencing that. Second, it's really important to allow yourself to feel them. I think so many of us, myself included, have tried to reject how we feel,...
