Why do so many women feel shame around intimacy and sexual desire? In this episode, we explore how cultural messages, expectations, and stigma can shape the way women experience desire, connection, and vulnerability in relationships.

We talk about how shame around sex and intimacy develops, how it shows up in adult relationships, and how it can quietly affect communication, connection, and self-worth. Most importantly, we discuss ways to begin unpacking those beliefs and creating healthier, more empowered relationships with desire and intimacy.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like your needs or desires were something to hide, this conversation is for you.
