Find Your Feminine Fire

Shownotes Transcript

In my experience, I've found empowerment and focusing on health are key to finding more joy and pleasure.  And, it's very real that this culture in which we live in, there is a high probability that when you move to explore what feels good, the imprints of past trauma or violation, even culturally and collectively will show up. It's important to recognize the pervasiveness of trauma in the world and seek to be responsive to this reality.

In this episode I'm sharing why trauma informed care is so important, especially when working with sexuality, what you can do to advocate for yourself in situations so you can feel more comfortable, and what you can do to invite in more compassion, curiosity, and care in your own pleasure explorations.
