In this nourishing conversation, I’m joined again by sacred sexuality mentor Janine to explore what it really looks like to live a sensual, embodied life as a real woman in a very full season — business, kids, partnerships, responsibilities and all.
We unravel the pressure we put on ourselves to “do embodiment right” — the 3-hour practices, the perfect morning routine, the ideal conditions — and instead anchor into the truth that our power lives in the micro moments: being present with your morning coffee, watching your children play, driving under a rainbow, feeling the sun on your skin.
Together we speak to:
Why pressure kills pleasure — in sex, business, motherhood and life
How to start (or restart) sacred sexuality and embodiment practices when you feel tired, busy, or resistant
The power of 2–5 minute “micro practices” and how they actually rewire your system over time
Moving from destination obsession (orgasms, goals, milestones) into savouring the journey
Remembering that you are cyclical — and why your practices should change with your seasons and your bleed
Using your inner signals (yes/no, expansion/contraction) as your compass rather than external “shoulds”
How reclaiming your sensuality and presence impacts your children, your relationships and the next generation
This episode is an invitation to stop trying to “keep up”, to let go of perfection, and to remember that your inner power has always been within you. It all starts with one tiny, loving micro practice.
Listen in if you’re ready to feel more alive in your everyday life, reconnect to your body and pleasure, and create a new normal where you are no longer on the back burner — you are at the centre of your own sacred, sensual life.
