The Feminine Rebellion: Pleasure, Power + Unapologetic Living for Midlife Women3 Sep

85. Pleasure Begets Pleasure: Why One YES Changes Everything

Take the trip.

In a few days, I get on a plane to Spain for the rest of the month, with a group of women who have invited me on this trip every single year, for years. And every year, I said no. This episode is the story of all my no's, the question that finally broke them, and the principle that changed how I navigate my entire life: pleasure begets pleasure.

What you'll hear:

🔥 My very responsible reasons for saying no, year after year, and the word hiding underneath all of them ("extra")

🔥 "I never saw my mom do anything like this": the permission we were never handed

🔥 The question that broke my no's for good: why the f*ck not?

🔥 The nerdy part: what happens in your nervous system when you say yes and nothing bad happens ("I said yes... and I didn't die")

🔥 Pleasure as your GPS, and the one question to ask yourself every morning

🔥 How four women became NINE, and why one woman's yes gives every woman watching permission

The move this week: answer the invitation you keep declining. Or be the one who sends it.
