It has been said that our brains are our most important sexual organs and, it's true--the meanings that are playing out in our minds either consciously or under the surface have a big impact on our sexual experiences.

Meanings that expand our sense of self and make us feel alive (like freedom and choice) increase our desire, while meanings that constrict us (like obligation and shame) shut down our desire and kill any chance of us having a passionate, fulfilling experience.
	 
	 Recently, I joined <a href="https://www.tammyhill.com/">Tammy Hill</a> of the Live Your Why Podcast to discuss the meanings that keep many of us from fully experiencing the joy of our sexuality and what we can do to shift these common, but problematic meaning frames and create something better.
	 
	 Listen to the full episode to learn more about:

* Reconciling spirituality and sexuality
	 * The importance of freedom and choice
	 * Problematic meaning frames
	 * The art of surrender / receiving
	 
	 For a deeper dive on working through problematic meanings around sexuality, consider enrolling in Dr. Finlayson-Fife's <a href="https://finlayson-fife.com/courses/course/enhancing-sexual-intimacy">Enhancing Sexual Intimacy</a> course!
