108: Desires – a devoted path to authentic living

In this episode, I talk about desire as a sacred path back to yourself—how wanting (not just needing) is deeply empowering in life and in the bedroom. I share how to recognize true desires, rekindle turn-on with simple practices like fantasy and play, and meet any inner resistance with compassion. We finish with a gentle guided visualization to help you connect with your own desire and take one small, aligned step forward.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • How your desires can guide you toward an authentic life

  • Needs vs. desires — why the difference matters

  • Building self-worth and daring to want more

  • Desire as the gateway to your erotic self

  • Why fantasizing is good for your sex life

  • Owning your turn-ons (and turn-offs) without shame

  • Why desire doesn’t have an expiration date

  • A guided practice to connect with what you truly crave

This is a recording from a live online event I taught. Enjoy!
