108- The Pleasure & Power Framework// Why Intimacy Doesn’t Have to be Painful

Let’s talk about something too many women suffer with silently: pain during intimacy. In this episode, I unpack the real connection between your pelvic floor, nervous system, and emotional safety — and why healing your core goes way beyond muscles and kegels. Whether you're experiencing discomfort with sex, numbness, or disconnection from your body — this is your invitation to reclaim pleasure through awareness, breath, and full-body healing. You are not broken. You are ready to reconnect. What You’ll Learn: The top 3 reasons intimacy feels painful or shut down (and it’s not your fault) How the nervous system + core tension play a bigger role than you think Why releasing shame is the first step to healing pelvic floor pain Simple awareness cues to start feeling safe and connected again How to go deeper with me inside RESTORE or The Empowered Core Resources Mentioned: 🌀 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More app 💖 Join RESTORE for your 12-week guided healing ✨ Explore The Empowered Core for 6 months of deep support Let’s Stay Connected: 💫 Begin Your Journey with RESTORE & Continue the Full Embodiment Inside The Empowered Core Collective !
