Episode Summary:In this episode, I explore what sexual liberation truly means beyond societal pressures, collective norms, and performance expectations. Using reflections from my post-Kiwiburn experiences, I share how embracing your unique desires—whether that’s taking a break from sex, enjoying monogamy, or simply choosing comfort over cultural trends—is the real path to freedom. This 45-minute conversation offers permission to release expectations, let go of self-doubt, and honor your body’s natural rhythms, inviting listeners to claim their own version of sexual liberation.

Key Topics:

The difference between societal expectations and personal sexual expression

Letting go of “shoulds” and collective norms around sex

Embracing monogamy, rest, and self-care as valid choices

Post-Kiwiburn reflections on sexuality and embodiment

How sexual liberation is about choice, not proving worth

Releasing self-doubt and cultivating body-centered awareness

Encouragement to create a personalized, judgment-free approach to intimacy
