25. Reclaiming Pleasure: Sex, Intimacy & Confidence with Laura Hadden

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Hadden, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and sex therapist based in Vancouver, to talk about what it really means to reclaim pleasure and confidence in our sex lives—especially for busy, high-achieving women and moms navigating stress, shame, or disconnection from their bodies.

We explore:

  • How societal conditioning and shame impact female sexuality
  • The effects of stress, parenting, and mental load on desire
  • How couples can navigate desire discrepancies without blame or pressure
  • Practical tips to explore self-pleasure, set boundaries, and prioritize intimacy
  • Why quality matters more than quantity in sex—and how to make intimacy enjoyable again

Whether you’ve experienced trauma, lost touch with your desires, or are just tired of feeling like your sex life doesn’t reflect who you are—this conversation will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and ready to reconnect with yourself.
