From Surface-Level Sex to Deep Intimacy Part 2: Reclaiming Your Body and Your Joy

Outside the Square

In the second of this two-part conversation, I'm diving deeper into the transformative conversation with Brandi Bissell, a sexual health coach, exploring how our relationship with sexuality shapes our overall wellbeing.

Building on last week's discussion, we focus on the importance of pleasure—not only in the sexual context but in all aspects of life. Brandi emphasises the need to unlearn harmful beliefs and practices about our bodies and desires, advocating for a journey of self-exploration and self-love that leads to empowerment.

We share practical embodiment practices to reconnect with your body and encourages you to embrace your unique experiences and emotions because pleasure is not just for others but is an intrinsic part of self-care.

The conversation also addresses the societal taboos surrounding sex and pleasure, encouraging open dialogue and education. We reflect on the generational myths surrounding sexuality and the need to cultivate a personal narrative that prioritises joy and self-acceptance.
