In this engaging podcast episode of Radical Expansion hosted by Paul von Bergen, Paul interviews Nadia Nauss, a former Navy officer turned tantric life coach and trauma-informed sex educator.
They delve into Nadia's transformative journey from a structured naval career to exploring sacred sexuality, yoga, and Tantra. Through personal anecdotes, Nadia discusses how reconnecting with one's body and spiritual practices can lead to profound self-awareness, authentic life choices, and ultimately fulfilling one’s true purpose.
Both Paul and Nadia emphasize the importance of balancing the sacred feminine and masculine energies, navigating societal pressures, and reconciling spiritual awakening with practical life applications. The discussion also touches upon overcoming the stigma around sexual energy, cultivating mindfulness, and integrating ancient wisdom with modern science to lead a deeply meaningful and expansive life.
