Today I sit down with Lauren Schaeffer to talk about all things pleasure. In the midst of a breakup with her 2 year long partner, Lauren felt like there was more to be experienced and enjoyed in her life. This set her on a journey to finding a life full of pleasure, which meant ditching old habits and belief systems that no longer served her.

In today's episode we cover her journey, dating, standing in your worth, how to integrate pleasure into your life, and how she now helps women do the same.

This week has been a heavy week. I've struggled to even comprehend the update of the Texas Abortion Law going into effect. I've struggled to even know what to do with my emotions... and it's had me feeling a bit stuck. I wanted to build an exercise for myself to help process my emotions in a healthy way to then turn it into aligned action. 

In this episode, you'll find the following:

-Quick breathing exercise to regulate your nervous system

-Journaling exercise to help unpack all of the emotions/feelings surrounding the Texas Abortion Law going into effect this week

-Steps to take in aligned action

Journaling exercise prompts (if needed):

Questions to ask yourself:

-What feelings am I experiencing with this new update?

-Why do I think these particular feelings are arising?

-What does it feel like to create space for these feelings?

Aligned action:

On this episode, I invite Heather Lowe on the podcast, the founder of Ditched the Drink, to share her own personal story in understanding her relationship with alcohol. She walks us through her own personal journey in understanding how she knew it was time to reevaluate her relationship with alcohol, and the many steps forward (and back) she took to get there. Not only has she been able to ditch the drink for 3 years now, but she's also made a full time business helping others do the same. Whether you're evaluating your relationship with alcohol or not, Heather provides so many takeaways that can be applied to your life in general.
