Together, we dive deep into some of life’s most personal and profound topics: healing shame around sex, making the decision to have children, and facing the fear of death.

We explore how early conditioning often leads us to feel disconnected or even ashamed of our sexual selves and how we can begin to reclaim a healthy, empowered relationship with our bodies and desires.

We also discuss the complex decision of whether or not to have children—a choice that brings up questions of purpose, legacy, and personal freedom. Cilia shares how this decision can be a deeply spiritual process that allows us to connect with our true values and live in alignment with our authentic selves.

Lastly, we touch on the universal yet often avoided topic of mortality and the fear of death. In this part of the conversation, Cilia offers insights into accepting life’s impermanence, allowing us to live more fully in the present and create deeper, more meaningful relationships with ourselves and others. This episode is a journey through some of the most vulnerable parts of our human experience, offering a compassionate guide to releasing shame, making empowered choices, and finding freedom in both life and love.
