Let's talk about sex... love and relationships. In this (spicy) episode we discuss how our desires (not only in sex, but in life) are like beacons for our life. We don't always have to answer the call of the desire- yet we get to choose what to do with it. But there's a lot of power in knowing what you want. These are messages for you about what lights you up at your very core.

Stephanie addresses how women are often very much in 'to do' mode and more rarely in 'being' mode - this loses the softness we long for, the pace of life we long for.

This is especially true for mothers and care-takers and we dive into how you can learn to shift into "being" mode which will recharge you in many ways.


Stephanie Hickey is sex, love and relationship coach with a special interest in helping women take the necessary steps to take radical self-responsibility for their own pleasure, for the love they deserve, and in their relationships.

She helps women create desire-led lives by guiding women through the journey of identifying and manifesting their inner desires by coaching them through a blend of scientific, mystical, rational and intuitive embodiment practices.
