For far too long women's sexuality and pleasure has been controlled and repressed. This has led to a cultural norm where women often feel numb and disconnected from their bodies, sexuality, and emotional depth.

Today I'm joined by hypnotherapist, Carlie Jade, to explore how women can expand their capacity to feel more of life, reclaim their pleasure and learn to revere their bodies. Carlie shares her personal story of overcoming sexual trauma and a perpetual state of numbness through hypnotherapy, somatic work, and tantric practices. The conversation explores the relationship between pain and pleasure, the significance of sisterhood, and how sexual healing has the power to transform every area of life.

Trigger Warning: In this episode Carlie shares about childhood sexual trauma and refers to sexual trauma throughout the episode.

Somatic Sisterhood Circle

The Somatic Sisterhood Circle is a weekly touch point to attune to the wisdom of your body while being held in sisterhood. Each circle includes embodiment practices and meaningful conversations. The next eight week series will be focused on Reclaiming Womanhood: Healing from Good-Girl Conditioning.

Society asks girls and women to shrink themselves. Be good, pretty, capable (but not too capable), take care of others, sacrifice yourself, and do it all with a smile. Our depth, magic, eros, fierceness, intellect, and aliveness has been controlled and manipulated. Our wildness has been repressed. This circle is about freeing ourselves from the good girl conditioning and embodying something more raw and real. Learn more.
