Numbness Is Not A Sexual Failure


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking about something many women experience during sex but rarely feel safe naming: numbness.


If you’ve ever wondered why you know you’re supposed to feel something….but your body just isn’t responding....this episode is for you!! And there's a SOLUTION!


I explain why numbness during sex isn’t a personal failure, a libido problem, or a sign that something is “wrong” with you. It’s a nervous system state and once you understand that, everything changes.


I share my own journey with sexual numbness, how I misunderstood it for years, and what actually helped me reconnect to sensation without forcing pleasure or chasing orgasms.


We talk about why the body goes numb in the first place and how intimacy begins to return when the nervous system feels supported instead of pushed.

This episode isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding your body and giving it the conditions it needs to feel again
