25. What is the FEAST?!

For those who already know in their gut that something isn’t right... and for the ones who keep explaining it away, hoping it will change.In this episode, we talk about:• the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs it’s time to leave• why staying often costs more than leaving• what actually opens up after a breakup; relief, clarity, desire, self-trust, exploration, pleasure. • our personal experiences + the incredible transformations we’ve witnessed in clients on the other side of breakups.This is about choosing yourself when your body has been saying enough for a while, trusting that what's meant for you is on the other side of a hard decision.Disclaimer: This episode is for situations where communication has been attempted and both partners are capable of growth. Relationship change requires deep inner work, not just changing partners.Follow us on instagram Vanessa: Somatic Sexologist that helps you experience more pleasure & deeper connections through her signature Golden Pleasure Method;https://www.instagram.com/hookedonpleasure/?hl=enEffy: Holistic Life Coach that helps you create a life that you're OBSESSED with! https://www.instagram.com/empoweredwitheffy/?hl=en

In this episode, Katy Bampton & I talk about the different ways to communicate and navigate your sexual desires. In particular, for women who are currently in a monogamous heterosexual relationship. We normalize attraction to people outside of your relationship and discuss how to figure out exactly what you are wanting to experience before you have the conversation with your partner. We explore how to communicate to your partner your sexual desires and ways to make it fun for everyone involved. We go on to discuss how to have the best experience possible with your first threesome, where to find a person that would be a great fit and keep the playfulness and novelty of it all while remaining connected to yourself.

This episode features pleasure & relationships coach Katy Bampton. We talk about pleasure beyond the sexual and how to incorporate more moments of pleasure in your busy routine. We also discuss how embodiment and pleasure can heal and allow us to reconnect to ourselves and others.

TW: Suicide & Sexual Assault This episode will talk about how hope can saves lives and how it saved mine. I created this podcast with the intention of sharing my stories and experiences with people that need it. I am in a position now where I can talk about this objectively, as I am no longer impacted by these things. Never lose hope that things will get better and that your life will become joyful again. Your life can and will improve, and suicidality does not have to be the end of your life. Intro & life update 0:00-3:15 Start of podcast 3:15
