16. [Dating Series] Dating as dharma - Falling in Love as a Spiritual growth Path Artwork

Love, Sex, and Pleasure with Ann Nguyen

This podcast is for soulful, ambitious women who want to have great sex & create thriving relationships.

I’m here to help you fall in love with your pleasure, sensuality, and erotic expression to connect you with your creativity to make your world and our collective a better place.

I’m a Vietnamese-American somatic sex love & relationship coach who’s gone from spiraling in toxic relationships, doubting my power, and having sex to get love from others - to falling in love with pleasure as a deep self-love and spiritual practice, calling in the love of my life, and bravely pursuing my creative power and leadership in the world.

I’m also a certified witch, mystic, humble spiritual practitioner, hip-hop head, and cat lady.

The vibe of this podcast is: we’re chillin’ together, on the couch or at a cute cafe - having a heart to heart conversation about the shit that really matters in our lives.

Sometimes our conversation will be light and deep and funny, sometimes it’ll be heartbroken, confused, and trying to find our way - just like our real, messy lives can be!

Here you're invited to be fully human, and I invite you to see me as a full, fallible, figuring-it-out human too.

Consider me your sexy bestie who’s also walking this path with you, sharing wisdom both from my lived experiences (my greatest training ground) and in my professional experience as a somatic sex, love & relationship coach.

My work is rooted in Buddhism, Tantra, Taoism, and Intersectional feminism - all in devotion to walking the path of Love and in humble reverence to the Great Goddess that lives within us all - regardless of gender.

Let’s learn together loves!
