Are you feeling disconnected from your own pleasure, feminine energy, and sense of self? After a divorce, many women find themselves struggling to reconnect with their bodies, desires, and the ability to receive joy.
In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I’m joined by Anne Bland, a pleasure-based wellness specialist, to explore how you can reclaim your pleasure, redefine intimacy, and break free from societal conditioning that keeps you stuck in burnout and disconnection.
Anne shares her powerful journey of rebuilding after burnout and divorce, uncovering the deep-rooted beliefs that keep women from living in their full pleasure and power. Together, they break down the myths surrounding pleasure, discuss how to integrate more joy into daily life, and explore practices like yoni eggs, breathwork, and embodiment techniques to reignite your inner radiance.
