Do you ever feel a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, even when you've accomplished big things? Guilt, shame and hidden trauma can keep us from pleasure –whether it's luxuriating in our free time, enjoying every bite of a delicious meal with or prioritizing pleasure in our sex life.

On today's show, Dr. Valerie Rein helps us understand why we feel bad about experiencing pleasure, how society has conditioned us to not trust other women and even ourselves. Today we'll flip the question of How much can I bear? on its head into How good can it get?

How often do you use the word "should" when thinking about your day? I should be doing this or I should stop doing that. Who decided what you should or should not do? Often we don't ask that question - we just assume that we should just live up to expectations without wondering who set those expectations in the first place. Today's episode will help you question the rule makers (also known as the patriarchy) and live life by rules of your own making. Reclaiming your power starts by understanding who we are really fighting.

What does it mean to reclaim your power? Studies show that many women tend to shy away from the word "power" because we worry about how it affects everyone around us. We play small because that's how we've been raised by the world, by society–to be a good girl and play by the rules. But when we shy away from our power, we don't step into our full potential. We don't allow our gifts to shine and make the impact we truly desire. Today's episode sets the stage for our season on reclaiming our power and living a life on our terms.
