The female libido is one of the most requested topics in this community, so we’re diving in head-first today to look at the deeper intricacies of the female libido and the different physiological factors that influence it. 

It’s no secret that hormones play a huge role in our physiology and, likewise, in our libido. While much of society is experiencing difficulties with sex drive and libido, they are often looking for a band-aid fix rather than diving deeper to understand the “why” behind our troubles with libido. 

In our society, it’s easier to take a pill or a supplement to “fix” our libido than it is to take a good hard look inward to see where our bodies are out of balance and the necessary steps that we need to take to bring ourselves back into alignment, not just with our sense of self, but to allow us to be vulnerable and soft with our partners. 

Societal pressures have steered us away from understanding feminine physiology on a deeper level, and they have blurred the lines between lust and female libido and natural sexuality. 

Join me today in this episode, where we dive deeper into the roots of the feminine libido and the changes we need to make to re-align our bodies with our feminine energy. You won’t want to miss it!
