Am I a selfish b....?


Hi, Reader,

I want to go deep with you today about something that's been coming up a lot in my life and work: what it means to embrace my power and pleasure as a woman.

For the longest time, I used to feel guilty for wanting more, for desiring abundance and joy in my life. But, after many years of being stifled under my feelings of shame, I realized that by prioritizing my own well-being and pleasure, I wasn't being selfish—I was actually becoming more generous, more present, and more alive.

In this week's episode of S.x.Love.Power., I'm going to share with you how I arrived at that revelation, to show you a different option for navigating this world as a woman than what we've previously been taught.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Why viewing yourself as a woman built to receive can transform your relationships and your life.
  • The liberating truth I’m learning about seeking approval from others (or pissing them off!)
  • How your deepest desires can serve as divine guidance, leading you towards a life filled with passion, pleasure, and purpose.
  • The transformative power of embracing self-care as the ultimate act of generosity.
  • How cultivating abundance within yourself can enrich the lives of those around you.

And more.

Listen now to hear how I went from being a people pleaser to being truly generous and abundant.

I can't wait to hear what you take away from this episode!

Love love,

I said, “If you don't want to come toward me sexually, if you don't want to go deeper, I understand, and it's okay... "But I'm ready for more, and I know you haven't been willing to opening up our marriage in the past, but I'm not asking this time. I'm telling you. "I feel like I'm suffocating, and I'm going to unilaterally pursue other sexual connections. "I don't not want to be married, I just don't want to be celibate.” It wasn't just the words I was saying that Kurt heard. It was the...

I doubled down on my own sexual awakening and put away my vibrator. When I learned more about how to spend time with my whole body and awaken my G spot and my cervix, my body's communication with me got a whole lot more... articulate. I was listening better so I could hear more from her. What did she tell me? There had been many times that I had settled for sex she didn't really want. I didn't even know that. My husband has always been an engaged, sensitive, skillful lover. He hadn't violated...
