Talking about sex can feel awkward, but it’s one of the biggest predictors of a satisfying sex life. In this episode, I break down why open communication about sex is essential for intimacy, connection, and pleasure.

4 Relationship Lessons That Changed Everything 18:21

約 20 日前18:21

Real intimacy requires openness—but how do we stay open to love while also protecting ourselves from inevitable pain? In this episode, I break down four key ways to stay open in your relationships: ❤️ Open Heart – True connection comes from emotional vulnerability. Saying "I love you," admitting "you hurt me," and letting yourself be truly seen are the risks that deepen intimacy. 🧠 Open Mind – Love thrives on curiosity. Understanding your partner’s world, embracing differences, and letting go of rigid expectations can transform how you connect. 👀 Open Eyes – Denial won’t save a relationship, but truth can. Seeing things as they really are—both the good and the hard—allows you to navigate love with honesty. 👐 Open Hands – Holding onto love too tightly can stifle it. Learning to love without control, embracing change, and trusting the flow of relationships keeps love alive. If you’ve ever struggled with fear of vulnerability, conflict, or loss in love, this episode is for you. Let’s explore how staying open can lead to deeper, more fulfilling relationships. 🎧 Listen now!…

Where did you learn about sex? From school? Your parents? The media? Whether we realize it or not, we all carry a "sexual map"—a collection of messages, experiences, and cultural narratives that shape how we think and feel about sex.

I’ll walk you through reflective prompts to help you uncover your own sexual story, break free from limiting scripts, and open up new possibilities for pleasure and connection. Plus, we’ll explore how shifting your mindset around sex can deepen intimacy with yourself and your partner(s). 🎧 Listen now and begin your journey to a more fulfilling, authentic sex life. If you find any of the reflective exercises bringing up memories fo sexual trauma or unwanted touch in your history, please seek support.
