Hey hey! Welcome back to the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast! This week I am so thrilled to welcome back the incredible Darshana Avila. You might recognize her from Netflix’s Sex, Love & Goop, where she helped bring real conversations about pleasure and embodiment into the mainstream. Darshana is a renowned somatic sex and intimacy coach and the creator of Erotic Wholeness, a body of work that helps people reconnect to their pleasure, power, and purpose. Every time she speaks, she drops wisdom that makes you see sexuality in a whole new way, and I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation!
