4. Sex, Religion, & Shame, Oh My!

Were you raised in a culture or religion where sex was shamed? Has it impacted your relationship with your sexuality? 

Amanda discusses how the puritanical culture can impact your sex life, even if you are married, and how to slowly align with your own ideals. 

In this episode, she discusses: 

• The struggle to “switch on” the desire for sex once you are married. 
• The shame many women feel saying no to their husband. 
• How our sexual desires can change for many reasons. 
• The importance of safety as a key to exploring your sexuality.
• How women can stop betraying their hearts, minds, and bodies.
• A body-centred approach to feeling safe to coming alive again.
• Real-life anecdotes of women who learned to trust their bodies and find pleasure in sex.
