Ashley’s story is common for a lot of us.
She never really found physical pleasure in sex and never orgasmed.
Sure, there was the closeness and connection and building love and trust that came from sex with her husband, but orgasm wasn’t part of her experience.
She’s on the podcast for episode 18, vulnerably sharing about what that has meant for her enjoyment of her body, what has recently changed, and why it changed.
If you have always wanted more pleasure in your sexual experiences, this episode will give you hope!

Have you heard that as a woman you are too much in your masculine, and need to be more in your feminine?
Or that if you just 'embrace your feminine' you will be able to effortlessly tick off your massively long to-do list, and feel sexy and relaxed at the end of the day?
What do these words even mean?
If you embrace your feminine, do you have to go and dance naked in the moonlight and paint yourself with your own menstrual blood?
And what does that have to do with the realities of modern life, and just getting through our incredibly busy days?
Jenni Anne is a Purpose Coach and Breathwork Guide who helps overwhelmed women get more done while doing less, in ways that leave them relaxed, resourced and real.

Or how they do it?

Who knew how much tongue function could be connected to pleasure and sensation in the body?
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that tongues are super sexy. Soft, warm, wet, kissing, licking… oh my!
Jessica Miller has been on a bit of a journey with her tongue, from 25% tongue function into her late 30s, to healing into full tongue mobility.
This episode explores what changed in her life with the healing of her tongue, and spoiler, it’s bigger than just her tongue.
And, of course I asked the burning question: what was it like that first time you kissed your husband with a tongue that actually worked properly?
This episode is all about our tongues and pleasure that can come from that sensitive, mobile organ.

This might not be the topic that you expect to thing about when you think about pleasure: knitting, crochet, weaving, sewing... really?
But there is pleasure here as well.
Lesley Joiner joins me to talk about the pleasure and turn on that she finds in using her hands to make beautiful things.This is a fun conversation that might not be what you would expect, if someone suggested that you ‘listen to two women talking about weaving and crochet for 30 minutes!’
We touch on the turn on from beauty, the arousal of creating, and the pleasure that comes from gathering in groups of people with the intention to create.

For this first episode, I am in the hot seat, as my friend and colleague Katie Farrell helps kick off this podcast with the question ‘Why do you talk about pleasure and sex so much, anyway?’.
We take a detour past the importance of expanding out what pleasure means for each of us (desire, joy, delight, turn on, arousal, orgasm…), and I share about the power of feeling good when we are trying to heal.
Plus, there’s a little of my own long, winding road from shut down to turned on.
