In this raw, TMI-filled episode, I share the story of how old sexual trauma, subconscious manipulation, and one cruel comment from an ex silently shaped my marriage for years until a single, honest conversation changed everything.

We cover:
💔 Sex ≠ Love – how I linked passion, pain, and manipulation with intimacy and carried it into a healthy relationship.
😶‍🌫️ The Silent Years – months of rejection, self-blame, and the insecurity my ex planted that I believed for half a decade.
🗣 The Conversation That Broke the Cycle – how admitting my deepest fear to my husband led to mutual vulnerability and instant closeness.
🧠 Nervous System Healing – why creating safety in your body is essential before you can fully open to pleasure and connection.
💡 Honesty as the Doorway to Intimacy – how facing our hidden fears allowed us to reclaim our sexuality and build a stronger marriage.

This episode is unfiltered, intimate, and practical. It’s not just about sex it’s about breaking patterns, healing the nervous system, and remembering that real connection starts with radical honesty.
