  1. Healing Burnout and Cultivating Pleasure as a Mother

    Healing Burnout and Cultivating Pleasure as a Mother

    The societal pressure placed on mothers to be perfect, do it all, and prioritize everyone else's needs above their own is enormous. That's why it's essential to recognize and normalize talking about burnout, as many mothers often dismiss their exhaustion and disconnection as a part of the journey they have to manage alone. In this episode, I discuss the signs of burnout and offer valuable strategies to navigate and overcome it. This looks like asking for support, acknowledging the need for self-care beyond superficial practices, and reconnecting with one's sexuality and life force. I encourage you to let go of guilt and shame associated with prioritizing your well-being and reclaim the power to feel vibrant, alive, and turned on in your life. I hope you can use the practical techniques I share to process and transform the overwhelming energy of burnout. Conscious breathing, physical movement, and grounding practices have been essential to my own journey. By becoming present and addressing your feelings, you can begin your journey towards reclaiming your pleasure and the joy of motherhood. Burnout is not a permanent state mama, and it is possible to experience vitality and orgasmic pleasure on your path to healing. In this episode: 1:49: Addressing the prevalence of motherhood burnout and its impact. 5:27: Balancing multiple responsibilities and societal expectations postpartum. 6:41: Losing connection, creativity, and feeling overwhelmed. 08:06: Signs of mommy burnout: difficulty asking for support, feeling disconnected, loss of sex drive, neglecting self-care, and running on empty. 16:02: Acknowledging burnout and overcoming guilt and shame. 18:57: Techniques for processing and transmuting burnout energy - deep breathing, movement, and grounding.

    How to Powerfully Navigate Sex in Long Term Relationships

    On this episode of the Pleasurehood podcast, I want to dive into a question that has been brought up time and time again. How do we maintain passion in a long-term relationship or marriage? It’s an important topic and one that affects many of us. Whether you’ve been in a relationship for a few months or several years, it’s natural for the intensity of passion to shift over time. But that doesn’t mean it has to dwindle away completely. There are many ways to keep the spark alive and reignite that flame when needed. In this episode we’ll discuss: The importance of knowing what sexual season you’re in. Understanding what brings you pleasure in and out of the bedroom. How to explore your sexual desires. How to have powerful and transformative conversations about sex with your partner. So, let’s explore some practical tips and advice that can help you maintain the passion and intimacy that is essential for any loving, long-term relationship.   More Pleasurehood Goodness: If you enjoyed this podcast, you can leave a review and subscribe on your podcast platform.

    Life Transitions: Embracing Change and Opening Up to Possibility

    In this episode of The Pleasurehood Podcast, we’ll talk about the power of life transitions. Life transitions can be both exciting and daunting. They mark the start of something new and represent a chance to make powerful choices that will shape our lives in profound ways. No matter how big or small, these changes require us to adjust, grow, and evolve in order to move forward with confidence. Although life transitions can be difficult at times, it is important to remember that you have the power to make choices that will lead to a life of purpose and satisfaction. Taking the initiative to find clarity in uncertain moments allows us to approach our challenges with more intention and self-awareness. By understanding our motivations, we can create an action plan for navigating these transitions with ease. Making mindful decisions that are aligned with our core values means that we have an opportunity to live a life we love. When we focus on the present moment and remember our power to make choices, we can approach life transitions with clarity, courage, and confidence. No matter what lies ahead, you have the power to create a future full of promise and possibility. May you be blessed with the power to make powerful choices as you navigate life's transitions. May you live a life that is full of joy and purpose. -- If you enjoyed this podcast, you can leave a review and subscribe on your podcast platform.

    A New Paradigm for Motherhood

    In this episode, I explore what it means to create a new paradigm for motherhood. A motherhood that is our own creation. That is rooted in self-love, respect for our children, and a sense of empowerment. I'll talk about how to approach the journey with compassion and grace, never forgetting that no two mothers are alike - we all bring something special to this amazing experience. I hope after listening you feel inspired to embrace your own motherhood journey - no matter how unique or daunting it may seem - and to find joy in each moment. Initiation into motherhood brings with it a whole new identity and can create an amazing opportunity for personal growth. It is a journey of learning, transformation, and discovery as you get to know your little one better each day. As you embark on this new adventure, remember that your journey is unique and special - and you've got this!   If you enjoyed this podcast, you can leave a review and subscribe on your podcast platform.
