She Receives

Tabitha Taylor

A nervous system-led conversation about softness, safety, embodiment, intimacy, spirituality, and learning to receive from overflow. Hosted by Dr. Tabitha Taylor, licensed professional counselor, certified sex therapist, intimacy coach, and trauma specialist, She Receives helps over-functioning women move beyond survival mode and reconnect with themselves from the inside out. Together we'll explore nervous system regulation, emotional safety, boundaries, intimacy, relationships, desire, pleasure, self-trust, spirituality, and what it means to receive love, support, rest, and care without guilt. Because no amount of striving, achieving, healing, or performing can replace the one thing so many women were never taught: How to receive. If you've spent years being the strong one, the responsible one, the giver, and the one everyone depends on, this is your invitation to soften safely, reconnect with yourself, and give from overflow instead of depletion. Choose. Relax. Allow. Receive. Give from overflow. Welcome to She Receives.

    Episode 22: Where Did My Desire Go?

    Why Desire Can Become Quiet—and Why It May Not Need to Be “Fixed” Have you found yourself wondering, Where did my desire go? Maybe there was a time when wanting intimacy and sex felt easier. You thought about it. You initiated. You felt sexy, connected, interested. And now… not so much. You may still love your partner. You may still want closeness and affection. You may even miss wanting sex—but your desire just doesn’t seem to show up the way it used to. Before you decide something is wrong with you or that you need to “get your sex drive back,” I want to invite you into a different conversation. What has your body been experiencing? And what conditions help desire become available to you now? In this episode of She Receives, Dr. Tabitha Taylor explores sexual desire through a nervous-system-informed, biopsychosocial, and relational lens. We talk about how stress, exhaustion, emotional disconnection, resentment, hormonal changes, body image, relationship dynamics, pressure around sex, and years of carrying too much can all influence desire. We’ll also explore the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire—and why responsive desire does not mean overriding your no, tolerating unwanted touch, or participating sexually just to see whether desire eventually catches up. Perhaps the question isn’t simply: How do I get back to the woman I used to be? How do I get my sex drive back? Perhaps it’s: What awakens me now? Because your sexuality is allowed to change as your body, your life, and you change. This conversation isn’t about manufacturing a sexual response or teaching you to perform sexuality better. It’s about restoring your relationship with you—so that your sensual and sexual self has room to emerge in a way you can actually experience. Truth to Return To: My desire is not a measure of my worth, my femininity, or my capacity for intimacy. I don’t have to force it. I don’t have to perform it. I’m allowed to become curious about it. One soft moment at a time. From Safety… She Receives. 💜

    Episode 21: When You Just Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore

    Have you ever looked at your life and thought... I just don't feel like myself anymore. You're still functioning. Still showing up. Still handling things. Still being the person everyone can depend on. But somewhere underneath all of the doing, caregiving, over-functioning, surviving, and attending to everyone else... you may be wondering: What happened to me? Where did I go? In Episode 21 of She Receives, Dr. Tabitha Taylor explores how we can gradually become disconnected from ourselves—and why coming home doesn't necessarily mean trying to become the woman you used to be. This episode also marks the beginning of Season 2 of She Receives. In Season 1, we established the importance of trust, safety, reconnecting with the body, softness without self-abandonment, hearing your own voice, and discernment—the foundational ingredients of receiving. And we're not leaving that work behind. We're taking it with us. As Season 2 begins exploring restoring sensuality, sexuality, desire, pleasure, and intimacy, we're starting with the woman who will experience them: You. Before asking, Where did my desire go? perhaps there's an earlier question: Where did I go? In this episode, we'll explore: • How years of focusing outward can quietly create disconnection from self • Why sexual desire may be connected to a much larger relationship with wanting • The powerful question: Who are you when no one needs anything from you? • Why restoration doesn't mean becoming the woman you used to be • What it means to practice self-receiving over self-improvement • How small moments of noticing can begin bringing you home to yourself Maybe you haven't lost yourself. Maybe you don't need to get the old you back. Maybe it's time to become curious about the woman you are now. It's time to come home. One soft moment at a time. From Safety.....She Receives.

    Episode 18: Why Softness is Safe: What Your Nervous System Has Been Waiting to Learn?

    What if softness isn't something your body has forgotten... What if it's something your nervous system has simply never felt safe enough to experience? Many women spend years becoming incredibly skilled at protecting themselves. Strong. Capable. Reliable. Always holding it together. But beneath that strength is often a quiet longing to exhale. To reconnect. To receive. In this episode of She Receives, Dr. Tabitha Taylor explores why your armor isn't the problem—it's evidence that your nervous system learned to protect what mattered most. Together, we'll gently explore: • Why protection can become automatic, even after the danger has passed • The hidden cost of emotional armor • Why softness isn't weakness—it's nervous system safety • What softness actually looks like in everyday life • How small moments of receiving begin to expand your capacity for connection, intimacy, peace, and joy This isn't an invitation to force yourself to be vulnerable. It's an invitation to become curious. To notice. And perhaps discover one small place where your body may be ready to soften. Because healing doesn't ask you to become someone new. It creates enough safety for you to become more fully yourself. 🤍 Truth to Return To: Your armor was never your enemy. It was your nervous system's way of protecting what mattered most. As safety grows, softness no longer feels like something to fear. It begins to feel like coming home. From Safety...She Receives.

    Episode 16: Why Your Body Cant Receive Intimacy in Survival Mode?

    Have you ever wondered why you long for intimacy but struggle to relax enough to receive it? Maybe you've asked yourself: Why can't I just enjoy this? Why does my body pull away when this is something I actually want? If so, you're not alone. In this episode of She Receives, Dr. Tabitha Taylor explores the nervous system's role in intimacy and why wanting connection isn't always the same as feeling safe enough to receive it. You'll discover why what often looks like "low desire" may actually be high vigilance, how stress and the invisible mental load can keep your body in protection mode, and why healing begins with safety—not shame. Together, we'll explore how to move from self-criticism to self-compassion, recognize what your body may be trying to communicate, and practice one gentle way to help your nervous system soften into safety. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why wanting intimacy and feeling safe enough for intimacy are not the same. • How survival mode impacts desire, pleasure, and connection. • Why your body isn't working against you—it's working to protect you. • The difference between shame and curiosity in your healing journey. • Simple ways to create greater safety before intimacy. 🤍 Truth to Return To: Your body isn't making intimacy difficult. Your body is asking to feel safe enough to receive it. If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need this reminder today.
