Show Notes
Isit possible that shame—not desire—is what’s really blocking your pleasure?
In this episode, we talk about sex as a somatic healing practice—how it can regulate the nervous system, release stored emotion, and support a deeper sense of safety. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about learning to listen to your body, understand your needs, and create space for real connection.
Welook at what keeps many of us disconnected from our bodies, and how tuning into self-awareness and embodiment can shift our relationship with pleasure. You'll also hear how communication, curiosity, and timing can change the way we connect—with ourselves and others.
Tohelp unpack all of this, I’m joined by Dr. Emily Morse, host of Sex with Emily and a leading voice in sexual wellness. She shares her 5 Pillars of Sexual Intelligence and practical tools to reframe shame, rebuild intimacy, and bring more presence into your sex life.
Whetheryou're just starting to explore your relationship with sex or have been on this path for a while, this conversation offers real tools you can use today.
