From Pain-Focused to Pleasure Literacy: How to Reclaim Your Body’s Wisdom”
In this episode, I share a conversation that stopped me in my tracks - and might just change how you think about your relationship with your body forever.
A client in her postmenopausal years could describe her hip pain in exquisite detail, but when I asked what felt comfortable? Silence. That moment led to a profound realization that she wasn’t just healing her hip - she was reclaiming her right to feel good.
Most of us are living in what I call “sensation poverty” - we’ve become experts at detecting what’s wrong, but we’ve completely forgotten how to savor what feels right. We scan for problems instead of seeking pleasure.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The “Early Embodied Reclamation” phase and why it’s so crucial for healing
- How “pleasure literacy” literally rewires your brain to notice goodness
- The science behind why expanding your sensation vocabulary changes everything
- The “Embodied Ripple Effect” - how body awareness transforms your relationships, boundaries, and intuition
- Practical ways to start developing your pleasure literacy today
This isn’t just about managing pain or moving better. This is about remembering that you deserve to feel at home in your own skin, especially during these transformative postmenopausal years.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or like you’re just “getting through” instead of truly living, this episode is your invitation to begin reclaiming your birthright to feel good.
Your body has been waiting patiently for you to remember this truth.
