What if pleasure wasn’t the opposite of healing, but the very path to it?
In this intimate and illuminating conversation, Alex sits down with Leola Watkins — Pleasure Priestess and best-selling author of Sacred Sex Ed — to explore how sexuality, spirituality, and embodiment weave together for liberation.
Leola shares her journey of growing up in a conservative religious environment, navigating sexual trauma and shame, and ultimately discovering tantra and shamanic sexuality as gateways to healing, pleasure, and God within the body.
You’ll hear Alex and Leola explore:
-Why sex education in our culture often creates shame and trauma
-How tantra and shamanic sexuality honor sex as a sacred practice of meeting God through the body
-The importance of safety, boundaries, and communication in reclaiming pleasure
-Why pleasure and play are essential for healing (not just shadow work)
-The role of sex magic in manifestation — and how desire itself is sacred
-Everyday ways to live as a “Pleasure Priestess”
-The experience of miscarriage and bringing pleasure into grief
