#64 Have you ever felt disconnected from your body — like no matter how much you try to rest, soften, or slow down, something just feels… numb?

In this raw and soul-nourishing episode, I sit down with Jill Loftis to talk about one of the most tender and transformative topics: healing shame and thawing numbness around pleasure.

Whether it’s from chronic stress, unresolved trauma, religious conditioning, or simply the daily hustle of life — so many women feel cut off from their sensuality. And often, this numbness is not just emotional… it’s physical.

Together, we explore how to gently reconnect to your body, your pleasure, and your feminine rhythms — with compassion, patience, and a deep understanding of the nervous system.
