04: Vulnerability & Pleasure: The Keys To Freedom w/ Intimacy & Erotic Empowerment Expert Veronica Funess

Listen Later

Inside this episode, I delve into the powers of vulnerability, pleasure and play with Veronica Funess, a Somatic Intimacy Guide and Erotic Empowerment Coach. We highlight the significance of putting ourselves into spaces where we feel encouraged (and perhaps temporarily uncomfortable) to embody and express our authentic selves, to explore our fire and truth, and allowing others to witness us in our completeness.

 

We wrap up exploring how to become more vulnerable and free through nervous system regulation, soul community and play.

 

INSIDE THE EPISODE:

  • Learn how to embrace vulnerability and intimacy as a way to create deep connections with others and yourself, and a life you love.
  • Discover your vulnerability edge and how to move beyond it feeling empowered.
  • How to free yourself from cultural shame and expectations to own your desires.
  • How community can help us practice being seen as our true selves & receive support.
  • Turn to play as a powerful tool to regulate your nervous system during vulnerability.

    • And so much more!
