In this first interview on the show, somatic sexologist Sheeana Leigh and I explore the relationship between women's sexual pleasure and their intimate connection to their own bodies. We cover embodiment, self-worth, and the processes of grief and forgiveness that can open up new sensations and new experiences.

As Sheeana notes, many women have been conditioned to view their bodies as separate from themselves, often as commodities for others' pleasure rather than their own. This disconnection can lead to a lack of awareness and access to personal pleasure.

The grieving process of this self-abandonment cycle empowers a woman to reclaim her relationship with the body, which includes recognizing and processing trauma and pain stored in areas like the hips and pelvis. This process is crucial for women to establish trust and safety within themselves, allowing them to experience pleasure more fully.

In this conversation, Sheeana will also share simple ways that women can reconnect with their bodies even while feeling a pervasive numbness or disconnection, which can be a barrier to experiencing pleasure.

And of course ... we'll explore how time spent on sacred land gently assists a woman with bringing her body and pleasure back online!
