Troubleshooting your life and intimacy stresses also includes understanding the rhythms of your own unique sensory up and down regulating at work and in your marriage dance as well! If you want to truly ignite your love and work in the best ways possible, you’ll pay attention to these rhythms and honor each precious week across the month for what it really allows for versus forcing everything all at once. Yes, every week truly has a sacred gift of its own, whether rest, reflection, or revving you up and although we can push through, allowing for some nuanced microtweaks helps a great deal! To do this with order and fun, we're strategizing with occupational therapist Renae Fieck, Enneagram 9w8, in a convo about how to walk through the month with healthy, healing, and joyful systems for passion and productivity. Join us as we round out and troubleshoot in our final episode of the Igniting Your Sexual Instinct series.
