Episode 150 - Erotic Wholeness with Darshana Avila

Episode 150 - Erotic Wholeness with Darshana Avila

In this episode, I sit down with erotic wholeness guide Darshana Avila to talk about embodiment, authenticity, and coming home to the body. Darshana was featured on Netflix’s Sex, Love & Goop, which was one of my early introductions to a broader idea of eroticism as I began to unravel my good girl conditioning. We explore what happens when women don’t know what they want or don’t trust their bodies—a disconnection shaped by the systems we were raised in, not personal failure. Darshana offers a different path forward, rooted in compassion, nervous-system safety, and learning to listen to the body. Here’s what we cover:


  • How Darshana defines erotic wholeness and why it’s not limited to sex
  • Why “I don’t know what I want” is a common and understandable starting point
  • What compartmentalization looks like in real life and how conditioning keeps it in place
  • How authenticity begins with sensing what is and isn’t for you
  • Simple ways to begin reconnecting through your senses and the four allies of erotic embodiment


Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for profound pleasure and power. Her work has been featured on Netflix’s Sex, Love & Goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts.
