Description
“Self-worth is an inside job, but it's also okay to want to hear that you’re attractive.” - Dana Myers
If you feel like your libido disappeared or you’re struggling to feel sexy after having kids, you’re not alone. From my experience and the conversations I’ve had with clients and friends, I can tell you that this is something that many women struggle with. When so much of yourself is dedicated to caring for someone else, your pleasure can easily fall by the wayside.
Today I’m excited to be joined by my friend, Dana Myers, to talk about how to reawaken that side of yourself. Dana is a leading voice in the sexual wellness and empowerment space, and I got to ask her so many juicy questions.
In this conversation, Dana and I explore why so many women struggle with feeling sexy and alive in their femininity, how to confront the guilt that often comes with taking time for ourselves, tips and tools for how you can reclaim your pleasure, and more. Feeling alive in your body is essential to experiencing lasting joy, and Dana offers a fresh perspective and insights on how you can move closer to that goal.
Let's pull joy in together!
