If you feel numb your libido has vanished, or pleasure feels like a distant memory, this episode is for you.

You’re not alone, and you’re not broken, but staying stuck in shutdown doesn’t have to be your reality.

In this episode, I dive deep into why so many women and people with vulvas feel disconnected from their bodies— and exactly how to begin reclaiming your spark, your sensuality, and your aliveness.

I cover:

• 
  
• What can trigger a pleasure shutdown:Menopause, postpartum changes, medications, illness, trauma, divorce, burnout, or just life constantly asking too much of you.
• 
  
• Why it’s not your fault: Your body is wired to protect you through the freeze response. Add in cultural and religious shame, overgiving, and a lack of support... it’s no wonder pleasure takes a back seat.

• The emotional and energetic cost of staying disconnected

• Why disconnection can make life feel grey, mechanical, or lonely—even if everything looks “fine” on the outside

• What becomes possible when you feel turned on by life again,
• Your turn on's for life

• Body-based practices to gently reignite your connection to pleasure
• Why you don’t need to wait until you feel “ready” or “healed enough” to start.
