Description

Sexuality is something many of us struggle to understand—often clouded by shame, confusion, or fear, making it hard to explore freely. But what if there was a way to heal and fully embrace this part of ourselves? In today’s chat with Tantra Specialist Layla Martin, we explore how Tantra can be that path, helping you feel more connected and whole, both in your relationship with yourself and others. If you've ever wondered how to move past the shame or blocks around intimacy, this conversation is for you.


Layla breaks down what Tantra really is, and how it’s not just about sex—it’s about energy, self-exploration, and connecting to something deeper. We also get into how self-pleasure can be a form of spiritual practice, a way to reconnect with your higher self and let go of shame. Plus, Layla shares some real, practical advice on finding a Tantra partner who truly aligns with your values.


Whether you're just curious about Tantra or you’ve been exploring it for a while, this episode is packed with takeaways that feel both approachable and transformative. It’s like sitting down for a heart-to-heart about how to embrace your authentic self and deepen your relationships in a meaningful way.

Memorable Quotes:

"Most people misunderstand that Tantra was about sex only, but it became known for that because it was one of the only spiritual traditions that said sex can be holy and I believe so many of us who were raised in these very sex-negative traditions, it's been so healing for us to hear that that's an option that sex isn't inherently anti-spiritual." – Layla Martin


"Sex can be one of the most violent places on this planet. And when we're not sexually whole, it feels like a piece of our soul is missing. So, it became very clear to me that when I was super traumatized, I wasn't fully alive. I wasn't having the deep experiences I wanted. And my relationships with men were a total mess. And so I had a deep desire to fix that and to heal that." – Layla Martin


"What I see is that when women really own that true love is terrifying, and being truly chosen is kind of scary, they actually stop choosing men who are playing hard to get, who aren't really that into them. And they stop hiding from the terror of being fully chosen because when you're fully chosen, you have to meet all those intimacy terrors and start developing a true, real, deep partnership." – Layla Martin
