Your Favorite You

Today, I’m talking about a topic near and dear to my heart. Sex and pleasure have an important role in my life. If you aren't happy with the role they play in yours, I want you to know that can change.

The things we're taught about sex in school are so limited, and most of us have been socialized to think that desire and pleasure are the same for women as it is for men. That is NOT true.

In this episode, you’ll get everything from an anatomy lesson to advice on how to prioritize your pleasure - by yourself and with your partner.

I hope the information I share brings you closer to Your Favorite You, who has an active and desirable intimate life.

If you have trouble describing your feelings as anything other than good or bad, that may be because you’re resisting your emotions. 

Many of us have been conditioned to push away our feelings. Maybe you had parents or caregivers who you never saw express their emotions, or you feel pressured by the societal goal to be happy all the time.

In this episode, we’ll talk about the impact resisting emotions can have on your life, and how having the tools to feel your feelings can improve your relationship with yourself and others.

It may seem easier in the short term to resist your emotions, but processing your emotions in a healthy way will allow you to live more authentically and help you on the path to becoming Your Favorite You.

In today's episode, I am joined by two complete and utter rock stars in the physician coaching space. Yes, I am chatting with Adrienne Mann and Tyra Fainstad. 

These two incredible young women physician coaches are the founders of Better Together Physician Coaching, and they have put in some amazing work to prove that coaching actually works. Listen in as they recount their personal battles with burnout and the quest for self-recognition that steered them toward the transformative effect of coaching.

I do want to say that you don't have to be a physician for coaching to work, and if coaching can work on female physicians, it can work on anyone.

What you'll learn, is that most people have experienced some form of trauma in their lives, and we have so much shit stored in our bodies that we don't even realize.

We can use our past to make sense of who we are in the present. What do I mean by this? Perhaps when you were younger, your parents didn't have time to sit with you when you were having big emotions. Or perhaps they were always telling you to hush and to not feel your big feelings.

So it totally makes sense that whenever a big feeling comes along, you mentally run and try to hide from it. In this episode, we'll talk about how we can use our past to inform our present selves of all that we have lived through and thrived through.

I hope it comes as no surprise that I am all for using your past to remind yourself what a badass you are.
