In this powerful episode of The Long Way Back Podcast, we’re diving deep into the world of intimacy, shame, and sexual healing with our special guest, Brigid Ayah Llie (@SacredSomatica), a Somatic Intimacy Mentor, and guest panel speaker Donal Clifford.

Together, we explore critical and often overlooked topics like:

- The role of parents in guiding their children through sexual shame and using accessible, non-judgmental language.

- The importance of being present with your partner, creating real emotional connections.

- Understanding that intimacy is more than just physical, it's about trust, safety, and being fully seen.

- Feeling safe in relationships and staying connected to your body.

- Learning how to meet your own needs and understanding that it’s okay to cry.

- Tackling porn addiction, consent, and trauma, along with the damaging impact of unhealthy portrayals of sex and intimacy in pornography.
