🎙️How to Heal, Reclaim Pleasure & Set Boundaries Through Sexual Empowerment with Efrat Wolfson
In this deeply raw episode, I sit down with Efrat Wolfson—founder of the Passion Academy and an embodied psychosexual coach who has helped over 5,000 people reconnect with their pleasure, purpose, and power.
We dive into the hidden dynamics of toxic relationships, including narcissistic abuse, trauma bonding, and gaslighting—and Efrat shares her own lived experience of breaking free from an abusive marriage.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a cycle, this conversation is a must-listen. It’s a powerful reminder that your sexuality belongs to you—and no one else. It isn’t defined by anyone else's expectations, approval, or presence.
We talk about why guilt keeps you stuck—but true responsibility sets you free, and why it's so important to start documenting everything—because abuse thrives in silence and secrecy.
If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself in a relationship, this episode is your reminder: you can reclaim your voice, your power, and your pleasure. You can heal quickly—and pivot into your full purpose and personal power.
