In this episode of The Sexuality Clinic Podcast: Exploring Intimacy and Relationships, I invite you to pause… breathe… and reconnect with yourself.

We dive into how today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world affects not just our mental health—but also our relationships, intimacy, and sexual well-being. From the inner critic that echoes old voices from childhood, to the ways self-compassion can rewire how we show up in love and connection, this conversation is both tender and practical.

I share personal reflections, explain the link between nervous system health and intimacy, and offer a simple but powerful mirror affirmation practice you can start today.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, burnt out, or hard on yourself… this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why your body pushes back with exhaustion and anxiety

• How internalized criticism impacts intimacy and sexual connection

• The science and power of affirmations for healing self-talk

• A guided mirror practice to help rebuild self-love and presence
