The Menopause Mindset

89 Deconstructing Sex and Selling


Listen Later

My podcast guest today, Lucy Rowett, is passionate about exposing some of the predatory practices in the coaching world that seem to poke at our pain and rub at our trauma. 

She says "This conversation is so on point right now".

Lucy is an entrepreneur and a Clinical Sexologist and as such, she knows a thing or two about sex, trauma and selling.  

So, this is a two pronged conversation. 

We talk about sex AND selling

Let's address the sex first. 

When we reach our midlife years our libido can lower the reasons are multifactorial but some are deeper than we might be looking. 

OUR LOW LIBIDO IS NOT JUST OUR HORMONES

Our inability to open up to great sex and self pleasure are usually nothing to do with anything being at fault with you (or your hormones).  It's part of a larger systemic culture that pokes at our trauma causing us to feel shameful and guilt ridden about our sexuality.  

Both Lucy Rowett and I LOVE breaking taboos.  If anyone's gonna go there, we will!   So if you're interested in joining us on this rebellious journey, here's what you'll be involved in. 

💦 What constitutes good sex?
🍆 The difference between excited pleasure and relaxed pleasure.
💦 How the infiltration of the 'growth mindset' might be affecting our sex lives.
🍆 The benefits of exploring your own eros within and without a relationship, especially to heal sexual trauma
💦 How purity culture fucks up our sexuality
🍆 Pleasure and guilt
💦 Stress as a safe feeling and relaxation as a challenging feeling
🍆 Vulva shame IS trauma
💦 Not knowing what you want in bed
🍆 Healing sexuality as a form of soul retrieval 

THEN....

❌ The lineage of personal development (white protestantism and evangelism)
❌ Being asked to over extract our internal resources by bosses or coaches
❌ The dangers of business coaching without any trauma knowledge
❌ Waking up to manipulative practices designed to sell products/services

Phew, not gonna lie there may some triggering discussion in this episode my guest Lucy Rowett approaches this topic in a highly sensitive way.  So you're in safe hands. 

....but if you're the kind of person in their midlife who is ready to do some deconstruction, then this episode is for you.
