The Scrumptious Woman

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by Monica Packer, host of the About Progress podcast and author of Sticky Habits.And we’re talking about something that might look very different from what you think:Perfectionism.Because perfectionism isn’t always the woman doing everything perfectly.Sometimes it’s procrastinating. Avoiding. Not trying because you might fail. Losing yourself inside motherhood, work, relationships and everything everyone else needs from you.Monica knows both sides of that pendulum intimately.📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, Monica shares how being an overachieving perfectionist eventually led her to crash and burn at 20, and how years later she discovered that she hadn’t actually escaped perfectionism.It had simply changed shape.We explore perfectionism as a spectrum between overachieving and underachieving, and how women can swing between the two while believing they simply need to try harder.Monica and I also talk about identity, motherhood and the moment you realise:“I don’t even know who I am anymore.”Then we get into habits.Monica explains why so much traditional habit advice wasn’t designed around the reality of women’s lives, including changing energy, hormones, interruptions, caregiving and the enormous amount of invisible labour many women carry.Instead of another rigid routine to fail at, Monica offers a different approach: habits as helpers.Flexible. Sustainable. Supportive.Because progress doesn’t have to be perfect to count.🔎 Key TakeawaysPerfectionism Has Two SidesIt can look like overachieving, but it can also look like avoiding, procrastinating, underachieving or refusing to try because failure feels too risky.You Are More Than Your RolesMother. Wife. Partner. Professional. Caregiver. These roles matter, but they don’t have to become your entire identity.Being Yourself Doesn’t Make Everything Fall ApartMonica discovered that becoming more herself didn’t hurt her marriage, motherhood or work. It allowed her to bring more of herself into them.Women Carry An Enormous Amount Of Invisible LabourRemembering appointments, food preferences, school schedules, what needs replacing and the thousands of tiny things that keep life moving all require energy.Habits Should Help YouA habit shouldn’t become another rigid standard against which you judge yourself. Monica teaches women to build habits that support their actual lives.Small Still CountsThree minutes of touch. A smaller version of your usual practice. Missing a day and simply returning tomorrow. Sustainable progress matters more than perfection.⧋ About Monica PackerMonica Packer is a habits and identity coach, host of the About Progress podcast, and author of Sticky Habits.Her work helps women move beyond perfectionism, reconnect with themselves and build flexible, sustainable habits that support the realities of their lives.IG: aboutprogressPodcast: About ProgressBook: Sticky HabitsLinks: https://www.aboutprogress.com/instagram⧋ About Juliette KaramanJuliette Karaman is a touch expert and creator of body-led practices that help people find their way back into connection, emotional safety, pleasure and embodied intimacy.Website: feelfullyyou.comInstagram: @juliettekaramanI'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by Pamela Madsen, founder of Back to the Body, for a delicious conversation about pleasure, sexuality, ageing, embodiment, and what becomes possible when women stop toning themselves down.Because somewhere along the way, pleasure became associated with indulgence.Something selfish. Something extra.But what if pleasure isn’t an indulgence at all?What if it’s part of our vitality?Pamela is 65. I’m 58. And neither of us believes your erotic life has an expiry date.As Pamela so beautifully puts it:“The biological clock is finite, but the erotic clock is infinite.”📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, Pamela and I explore why women are so often taught to put pleasure last and what can happen when we begin giving ourselves permission to want more.We talk about sexuality and pleasure after 40, 50, 60 and beyond, and why midlife can actually become an incredible opportunity to rediscover your body.Pamela shares what she has witnessed through her Back to the Body retreats, where women from their thirties into their eighties explore embodiment, desire, voice and pleasure.We also talk about the courage it takes to ask for what you actually want, whether that’s in the bedroom or simply asking someone to make your cup of tea differently.Because how often do we tolerate touch, relationships and experiences that are merely “fine” because using our voice feels harder?This conversation is about putting some air back into your sexuality, discovering what’s still there and remembering that pleasure can belong to you at every age.🔎 Key TakeawaysPleasure Isn’t SelfishWe’ve been taught to associate pleasure with indulgence, but Pamela invites us to think of it differently: as something that contributes to vitality and our desire for life.Your Erotic Clock Is InfiniteAgeing does not mean the end of sexuality, desire or intimacy. Women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s can continue exploring what pleasure means to them.You Don’t Have To Know Exactly What You WantSometimes the first step is simply recognising that you want something different and becoming curious enough to explore it.Using Your Voice Changes EverythingLearning to ask for what you want, make adjustments and say what doesn’t feel good can transform far more than your sex life.Stop Toning Yourself DownMany women have spent decades making themselves quieter, smaller or easier for everyone else. You may not even realise how much you’ve been doing it.Safety And Permission MatterPamela encourages women to notice whether they have safety, permission and trustworthy support in their lives as they reconnect with their bodies and sexuality.⧋ About Pamela MadsenPamela Madsen is the founder of Back to the Body, where she creates intimate retreats and embodied experiences designed to help women reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, voice and erotic selves.Her retreats welcome women across different stages of life, with many returning to continue deepening their relationship with pleasure and embodiment.Website: backtothebody.orgInstagram: @thepamelamadsen⧋ About Juliette KaramanJuliette Karaman is a touch expert and creator of body-led practices that help people find their way back into connection, emotional safety, pleasure, and embodied intimacy.Website: feelfullyyou.comInstagram: @juliettekaramanI'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by Jay Diamond, reality recoding master, pattern detector, healer, and a woman who has spent more than 25 years exploring one fascinating question:Why do some people heal and thrive while others keep repeating the same patterns?In this conversation, we explore money trauma, subconscious money beliefs, visibility, wealth, generational patterns, and the hidden reasons making or keeping more money can sometimes feel unsafe.Jay shares how experiences around abuse and money shaped beliefs in her own family, and how those patterns later appeared in her relationship with wealth.We also explore why highly capable women can have the qualifications, experience, clients, and ambition, yet still find themselves returning to feast-or-famine cycles.This episode is an invitation to look beneath the money itself.To question the beliefs you inherited.And to ask whether the patterns running your life are actually yours.📝 Episode SummaryJay shares her journey from training in Reiki in her late teens to decades of work in psychology, healing, coaching, and what she now calls reality recoding.Together, Jay and Juliette explore how money trauma and subconscious beliefs can influence the way we earn, receive, keep, and relate to wealth.Jay shares a powerful writing exercise to uncover the beliefs hiding underneath your financial goals. Simply write:“Of course I want consistent £25K months, but…”Then keep writing for 20 minutes.What emerges may reveal fears and stories around money, success, rejection, visibility, safety, or even beliefs inherited from family.They also discuss the particular tension many healers and heart-led practitioners experience around charging money, becoming successful, and being highly visible.Jay shares her spiritual perspective on concepts such as the “witch wound,” past lives, and inherited beliefs, while Juliette explores how our bodies can respond when visibility and success begin to expand.🔎 Key TakeawaysMoney Is Not Always The Real ProblemWhat looks like a money problem may be connected to deeper beliefs about safety, identity, visibility, rejection, or what having wealth means about you.Ask What More Money Means To YouComplete the sentence, “Of course I want more money, but…” and keep writing long after you think you have run out of answers.Look At How The Belief Protects YouInstead of only asking how to remove a limiting belief, ask why part of you believes keeping it is useful or protective.Visibility And Wealth Can Be ConnectedFor some people, earning more also means being seen more. That can bring up deeper fears around criticism, rejection, or exposure.Inherited Patterns Are Worth QuestioningFamily experiences and messages about wealth can influence the stories we carry into adulthood without consciously realising it.Know Your NumbersMaking money is only part of the relationship. Tracking it, keeping it, and understanding where it goes matter too.Choose What Programs YouJay and Juliette discuss the importance of stepping away from constant screens and outside influence so you have space to hear your own thoughts again.⧋ About Jay DiamondJay Diamond is a reality recoding practitioner, coach, healer, and pattern detector with more than 25 years of experience exploring psychology, healing, subconscious patterns, and personal transformation.She works with clients to uncover the deeper patterns influencing money, visibility, business, relationships, and personal growth.Instagram: @theonlyjaydiamondFacebook: Jay DiamondLinkTree: https://linktr.ee/ladyjaydiamond⧋ About Juliette KaramanJuliette Karaman is a touch expert and creator of body-led practices that help people find their way back into connection, emotional safety, pleasure, and embodied intimacy.Website: feelfullyyou.comInstagram: @juliettekaramanI'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today we’re exploring a question I hear from women all the time:Why can I orgasm alone but not with my partner?You may know exactly what works when you’re alone. The pressure, the pace, the position, the touch. But when your partner enters the room, suddenly you’re watching the ceiling, checking their face, wondering how long it’s taking, or questioning why your body isn’t responding in the same way.In this solo episode, I explore the difference between solo pleasure and partnered sex, and why the skills you practise alone do not always transfer into intimacy with another person.We look at research around body awareness, orgasm, noticing sensation, trusting your body, and regulating your attention.And most importantly, we bring it into the body with simple practices you can try yourself or with your partner.This episode is an invitation to stop asking what is wrong with you and start becoming curious about what your body actually needs.📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I explore why some women can orgasm alone but struggle to orgasm with a partner.We look at three different body awareness skills: noticing sensation, trusting what your body is telling you, and bringing your attention back into your body.The fascinating part is that being good at focusing on your body during solo pleasure does not necessarily mean that skill transfers into partnered sex.You might know exactly how to make yourself come, but when another person is involved, you may struggle to communicate the pressure you want, recognise what your body is feeling, or say yes and no clearly.I guide you through a simple touch exercise to begin discovering your personal touch map, followed by an offers and requests practice that couples can use to explore saying yes, saying no, receiving, and building body trust.Because pleasure is not simply about learning the perfect technique.It is about being able to notice, trust, communicate, and stay connected to yourself when someone else is in the room.🔎 Key TakeawaysSolo Pleasure Does Not Automatically Transfer to Partner SexKnowing how to pleasure yourself is valuable, but partnered intimacy introduces another person, another nervous system, and a completely different dynamic.Noticing Is A SkillBefore deciding whether something feels good, can you simply notice what your body is actually feeling?Trust What Your Body Tells YouBody trust means listening to your yes, your no, and everything in between without immediately overriding or judging it.Knowing What You Like Is Not The Same As Asking For ItYou may know the exact pressure, pace, or touch you enjoy and still find it difficult to communicate that to your partner.Your No MattersYou cannot build trust with a body whose no has never been respected. Practising yes and no outside sexual situations can help build that capacity.Create Your Own Touch MapSmall changes in pressure, direction, pace, and attention can completely change sensation. Curiosity helps you discover what your body responds to.Stop Making Yourself The ProblemStruggling to orgasm with your partner does not mean something is wrong with you. You may simply be trying to use a skill in a context where it has never been practised.⧋ About Juliette KaramanJuliette Karaman is a touch expert and creator of body-led practices that help people find their way back into connection, emotional safety, pleasure, and embodied intimacy.Through The Touch Reset and her work with individuals and couples, Juliette helps people understand the patterns that close the door to touch, sensation, and connection, and teaches them how to begin opening it again.Website: feelfullyyou.comInstagram: @juliettekaramanI'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here.What if squirting has less to do with technique than you think?For many women, the first time they see squirting is through porn. The gushing, the performance, the idea that this is something you’re supposed to make happen.But squirting doesn’t have to be a performance.In Tantra, there is Amrita, nectar. Something sacred, natural and without shame.And so often, what gets in the way isn’t whether your body can do it.It’s whether your body has permission to let go.Permission to take your time. To receive. To feel without performing. To stop worrying about what it looks like from the outside.Because the moment you notice that unfamiliar sensation and think, “Am I peeing? What’s happening? What will they think?”, the body can clamp down.In this episode, we explore squirting, Amrita, female pleasure, receiving, the Wheel of Consent and what happens when you stop chasing an outcome and allow yourself to feel.Maybe the question isn’t:“How do I make myself squirt?”Maybe it’s:“What happens when I give my body permission to let go?”The Touch ResetIf you want intimacy but your body braces, disconnects or struggles to receive touch, The Touch Reset helps you understand what may be happening underneath that response.We work with your Touch Pattern, Touch States, pleasure language, capacity, communication and structured touch so you can reconnect with what actually feels good.Start with the Touch Reset Quiz:https://feelfullyyou.com/touch-reset-quiz📝 Episode SummaryWhat if squirting isn’t something you need to make happen?In this solo episode, Juliette Karaman explores squirting, Amrita, female pleasure, receiving and letting go.She shares her own experience of first encountering the sensation of squirting and immediately thinking, “That’s pee”, and how quickly the mind can interrupt what the body is experiencing.Drawing on Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent, Juliette explores the experience of taking and receiving pleasure without performing, reciprocating or worrying about how it looks from the outside.She also shares a simple three-minute partner touch practice, the stoplight system for consent and communication, and the practice of peaking, allowing sensation to rise and fall without chasing orgasm or release.Because squirting isn’t the goal.Giving your body permission to feel is the practice.🔎 Key TakeawaysSquirting doesn’t have to be a performance.What we see in porn can create expectations about what squirting is supposed to look like.Amrita offers another way of experiencing squirting.In Tantra, Amrita is associated with nectar, something sacred rather than shameful.Permission changes what the body can experience.Taking time, receiving and letting go of performance can create more space for sensation.The mind can interrupt what the body is feeling.Thoughts about peeing, performing or what your partner might think can cause you to clamp down on sensation.Receiving and taking are different experiences.The Wheel of Consent can help you notice what happens when you take touch for your own pleasure or allow someone else to take pleasure through touch.Consent stays present throughout.The red, orange and green stoplight system gives you a simple way to communicate what feels good, what needs adjusting and when you want to stop.Pleasure doesn’t have to end in climax.Peaking allows you to experience the rise and fall of sensation without making orgasm or squirting the goal.Another person can meet you in your pleasure.But your body doesn’t have to perform for it.I'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined once again by the incredible Lucy Devi Hall, a sound engineer and speaker mentor who helps women find their voice, speak with confidence, and feel safe being seen on stage and on camera.Lucy and I have known each other for around 15 years, and in this conversation, we explore what it really means to find your voice and allow yourself to be seen.Lucy shares a deeply personal moment that happened when she wore her natural Afro out in public after years of straightening her hair and wearing weaves. What should have been a simple trip to the shop brought up an intense physical response and revealed just how deeply old experiences of racism, shame, and hiding were still living within her.From there, we explore the invisible layers so many women place over their voices: expectations, comparison, misogyny, racism, self-judgement, fear of criticism, and the conditioning that teaches us to make ourselves smaller.We talk about public speaking, confidence, speaking on camera, nervous system safety, body awareness, visibility, and authentic self-expression, and why becoming a powerful speaker isn’t simply about learning the perfect technique.Sometimes, it’s about finally feeling safe enough to be fully yourself.This episode is an invitation to stop hiding.To let yourself take up space.And to remember that your voice is needed exactly as it is.📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, Lucy Devi Hall and I explore finding your voice, overcoming the fear of being seen, public speaking confidence, speaking on camera, self-expression, and creating safety in the body around visibility.After more than 20 years working as a sound engineer at Sky, Lucy has watched thousands of people speak on stage and in front of cameras. One pattern has become impossible for her to ignore: women often make themselves quieter.She shares how she regularly finds herself turning women’s microphones up and how even the physical act of holding a microphone can reveal how uncomfortable someone feels taking up space and allowing their voice to be heard.We explore why traditional public speaking advice can sometimes miss something essential. You can learn body language, vocal techniques, pauses, presentation skills, and how to deliver the perfect keynote, but if your body does not feel safe being seen, those techniques can only take you so far.Lucy introduces her 30-Day Anti-Cringe Challenge, which encourages women to record themselves speaking, watch themselves back with “loving eyes,” and deliberately notice what they like instead of immediately searching for flaws.We also talk about the power of speaking honestly when your mind goes blank, allowing nervousness to exist instead of hiding it, and staying connected to your body while speaking.From corporate stages to social media and intimate relationships, this conversation explores what happens when we stop performing who we think we should be and allow people to experience who we actually are.Because confidence doesn’t have to mean becoming louder, bigger, or more polished.It can mean becoming more you.🔎 Key TakeawaysYour Voice Is NeededYou do not need another qualification, certificate, perfect funnel, or perfectly polished version of yourself before you are allowed to speak. Lucy reminds us that you already have something valuable to offer.Fear Of Being Seen Can Live In The BodyLucy’s experience of wearing her natural hair in public revealed how old experiences and conditioning can continue to shape the body’s response to visibility, even years later.Public Speaking Is More Than TechniqueGreat communication isn’t only about volume, intonation, posture, body language, or memorising the perfect speech. Feeling safe enough to express yourself authentically can completely change how people experience you.Women Are Often Conditioned To Make Themselves SmallerAfter decades working with speakers, Lucy has repeatedly noticed women lowering their voices, pulling microphones away, and unconsciously reducing their presence.Watch Yourself With Loving EyesInstead of immediately criticising how you look or sound on camera, Lucy encourages women to intentionally identify what they like about themselves. Her 30-Day Anti-Cringe Challenge is designed to help retrain that automatic self-criticism.Your Body Is Part Of Your VoiceSpeaking is not simply an intellectual exercise. Breath, tension, sensation, emotion, and nervous system responses are all part of how we communicate.Authenticity Creates ConnectionWhen someone’s words and body feel congruent, people notice. Instead of trying to perform confidence, allowing your natural tenderness, passion, humour, vulnerability, or intensity to be present can make communication more magnetic.Being Seen Doesn’t Require PerfectionWhether you’re speaking on stage, recording a video, sharing on social media, or expressing yourself in a relationship, visibility begins with allowing yourself to show up before everything feels perfectly polished.Start Before You Feel Completely ReadyRecord the video. Speak the words. Notice what you like about yourself. Your confidence can grow through the experience of expressing yourself rather than waiting for confidence to arrive first.⧋ About Lucy Devi HallLucy Devi Hall is a sound engineer and speaker mentor who helps women find their voice, feel more comfortable being seen, and communicate authentically on stage and on camera.After more than two decades working in sound engineering at Sky, Lucy has witnessed thousands of speakers and developed a unique perspective on the relationship between voice, body language, confidence, visibility, and genuine human connection.Her work goes beyond traditional public speaking techniques, helping women explore what may be sitting “on top” of their voice so they can express themselves more freely and be seen as who they truly are.Instagram: @lucydevihallThis episode explores finding your voice, public speaking confidence, speaking on camera, fear of being seen, visibility, authentic self-expression, nervous system regulation, women’s confidence, self-worth, body awareness, communication skills, overcoming self-doubt, and becoming comfortable being seen.I'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by Theresa Swan, certified peristeam hydrotherapist, former trauma therapist, and the woman behind Luminous Creatrix.In this conversation, we dive into the world of yoni steaming, pelvic health, painful periods, menopause, vaginal dryness, pleasure, and reconnecting with the body.Theresa shares how her own curiosity led her from trauma therapy into the practice of vaginal steaming, or peristeam hydrotherapy, and how her personal experience inspired her to train as an advanced practitioner.We explore the history and traditions surrounding yoni steaming, the importance of working with your individual body rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, and the connection Theresa has observed between steaming, relaxation, and the nervous system.We also speak about painful periods, pelvic discomfort, vaginal dryness and atrophy during menopause, scar tissue, intimacy, pregnancy and postpartum care, and the shame that can prevent women from talking openly about what is happening in their bodies.This episode is an invitation to become curious about your body.To listen when something feels uncomfortable.And to remember that conversations about pelvic health, pleasure, menopause, and the female body deserve to be brought into the light.📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, Theresa Swan and I explore yoni steaming, pelvic health, menopause, painful periods, vaginal dryness, pleasure, and embodied healing.Theresa shares how she discovered yoni steaming after attending a womb-focused massage and how her own experience eventually led her to train in peristeam hydrotherapy after previously working as a trauma therapist.We talk about what yoni steaming actually involves, why Theresa believes the herbs and steaming practices should be tailored to the individual, and why she encourages women with more complex pelvic health concerns to seek appropriately trained practitioners rather than simply following advice found online.Theresa also shares her practitioner perspective and experiences working with women navigating concerns including cramps, vaginal dryness and atrophy, scar tissue, painful sex, BV, menopause, postpartum recovery, and other pelvic health issues.We explore the relationship between the body and nervous system, and how creating space for relaxation, circulation, touch, and pleasure may change the way we experience and relate to our bodies.We also talk about menopause and post-menopausal pleasure, pregnancy and postpartum steaming practices, and the importance of knowing when steaming may not be appropriate.This is a conversation about women’s health, body awareness, pleasure, and opening up conversations about the parts of ourselves we have been taught to hide or simply endure.🔎 Key TakeawaysYoni Steaming Is Also Known As Peristeam HydrotherapyTheresa explains what vaginal or yoni steaming involves, how she was introduced to the practice, and why she eventually became an advanced practitioner.Pelvic Health Should Not Be A Shameful ConversationFrom painful periods and vaginal dryness to BV, scar tissue, and painful sex, many women experience intimate concerns they rarely feel comfortable discussing.There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Steaming PracticeTheresa explains why she considers factors such as menstrual cycles, symptoms, tissue health, and individual circumstances when recommending steaming practices and herbal blends.Menopause Does Not Mean The End Of PleasureWe discuss menopause, post-menopausal vaginal dryness and atrophy, sexual pleasure, and ways women can continue building a relationship with their bodies as they age.Pain Deserves Our AttentionRather than automatically accepting painful periods, painful sex, or ongoing pelvic discomfort as something women simply have to tolerate, Theresa encourages women to listen to what their bodies are communicating and seek appropriate support.The Nervous System Is Part Of The ConversationDrawing on her previous work as a trauma therapist, Theresa shares the shifts she has observed in women’s states of relaxation following steaming and how this sparked her curiosity about the relationship between pelvic practices and the nervous system.Pregnancy And Postpartum Require Different ConsiderationsTheresa explains that steaming is not recommended throughout most of pregnancy within her practice, while discussing its traditional and practitioner-led use around late-stage birth preparation and postpartum recovery.Pleasure And Pelvic Health Can Exist In The Same ConversationTaking care of the pelvic area does not have to come only from a place of fixing something that is “wrong.” It can also be an opportunity to reconnect with sensation, softness, pleasure, and the body.⧋ About Theresa SwanTheresa Swan is a certified peristeam hydrotherapist, former trauma therapist, and the creator behind Luminous Creatrix. Her work focuses on yoni steaming and personalised peristeam practices, supporting women in exploring their pelvic health and relationship with their bodies.Theresa works with clients through individual consultations and creates personalised steaming plans based on their circumstances.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here.What if the reason you don’t feel turned on anymore has less to do with your partner than you think?I worked with a woman who wanted to want her partner again. She had been waiting for him to flip the switch back on.But he couldn’t.It was never his job.So often, we look outside ourselves. What is he doing? What isn’t he doing? Why doesn’t he turn me on anymore?But eroticism doesn’t begin with another person.It begins with your own aliveness.I call it scrumptiousness. That life force running through you before anybody else even enters the room.And before your body can open to that aliveness, it needs something fundamental:Safety.In this episode, we explore why desire starts in your own body, how your nervous system influences your capacity to open, and how simple touch practices can reconnect you with sensation and pleasure.Maybe the question isn’t:“Why doesn’t he turn me on anymore?”Maybe it’s:“When did I stop feeling safe enough in my own body to turn myself on at all?”The Touch ResetIf you want intimacy but your body braces, disconnects or struggles to receive touch, The Touch Reset helps you understand what may be happening underneath that response.We work with your Touch Pattern, Touch States, pleasure language, capacity, communication and structured touch so you can reconnect with what actually feels good.Start with the Touch Reset Quiz:https://feelfullyyou.com/touch-reset-quiz📝 Episode SummaryWhat if your partner was never responsible for turning you on?In this solo episode, Juliette Karaman explores how eroticism begins with your own aliveness, not another person.She shares the story of a woman who wanted to desire her partner again but had been waiting for him to somehow switch her desire back on.The shift came when she stopped focusing solely on him and came back to her own body.Juliette calls this scrumptiousness: the sensation, vitality and life force already within you.Drawing on Stephen Porges’ work around neuroception, Juliette explores why the nervous system needs to register safety before the body can truly open.She also shares simple practices including Touch Base®, intentional self-touch and small moments of sensation that can help rebuild that connection.Because pleasure doesn’t have to begin with sex or another person.Your aliveness starts with you.🔎 Key TakeawaysYour partner isn’t responsible for your desire.Your erotic aliveness begins within your own body.Safety comes before opening.Your nervous system needs to register safety before your body can fully receive, soften and feel.You can’t think your way into aliveness.Understanding pleasure intellectually is different from experiencing it in your body.Touch can help rebuild connection.Touch Base® and intentional self-touch can help you reconnect with safety and sensation.Numbness is information too.Not feeling much is still something worth noticing rather than judging.Learn your pleasure language.Get curious about the type, pace and quality of touch your body actually enjoys.Start small.A few minutes of intentional self-touch can begin building your capacity to feel more.Another person can meet you in your aliveness.But it begins with you.I'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here.Why can something you’re not quite supposed to want feel so much hotter?The locked office door.The blinds that aren’t completely closed.Being told exactly what to wear.A whispered instruction that makes something in your body immediately respond.There can be a particular charge in the space between:I want this.andAm I really allowed to want this?That push and pull can be deeply erotic.But there’s another piece that matters.Can your body actually stay present for the intensity you’re creating?I worked with a couple who were incredibly adventurous. Tantra weekends, BDSM clubs, role play, more sensation, more intensity, more edge.Yet right at the peak, when the experience could have cracked them open, they would leave their bodies.They weren’t missing intensity.They were missing the capacity to stay with it.In this episode, we’re talking about why the forbidden runs hotter, what creates erotic charge, why more isn’t always the answer, and how structure can help you stay present for what you actually desire.Because sometimes the next edge isn’t more.It’s being able to feel more of what is already there.The Touch ResetIf you can want intimacy and still brace, disconnect, perform, or disappear when it actually arrives, The Touch Reset helps you understand what is happening underneath that response.We work with your Touch Pattern, Touch States, pleasure language, capacity, communication and structured touch, so you can begin staying present for more of what you actually want.Start with the Touch Reset Quiz:https://feelfullyyou.com/touch-reset-quiz📝 Episode SummaryWhy does the forbidden often feel hotter?In this solo episode, Juliette Karaman looks at the erotic charge created in the space between wanting something and not feeling fully allowed to want it.Drawing on ideas from Jack Morin’s The Erotic Mind, she looks at how risk, uncertainty, power, surrender and anticipation can intensify desire.But there is another piece.Can your body actually stay present for the intensity you’re creating?Juliette shares the story of an adventurous couple who kept adding more sensation, more edge and more intensity, yet would disconnect at the very peak of the experience.They didn’t need more.They needed more capacity to stay with what was already happening.She also shares practical ways to build that capacity through Touch Base®, the traffic light system, structured touch, clear time containers and conscious aftercare.Because eroticism isn’t only about what turns you on.It’s about how much of yourself can stay present enough to actually feel it.🔎 Key TakeawaysThe forbidden can create erotic charge.Part of the intensity can live in the tension between “I want this” and “I’m not entirely supposed to want this.”What inhibits arousal can sometimes intensify it.Risk, uncertainty, anticipation, power and surrender can become part of what creates charge.Charge and capacity are not the same thing.You can create enormous amounts of sensation and still not have the capacity to remain present for it.More intensity isn’t always the answer.If you repeatedly disconnect at the peak of an experience, adding more may simply recreate the same pattern.Polarity can live inside the push and pull.Part of you might think, “You can’t tell me what to do,” while another part longs to hand over responsibility and surrender.Your erotic edge may be surprisingly simple.Being told what to wear, having someone else make the plans, or hearing a whispered instruction can create more charge than an elaborate sexual experience.The same thing won’t land for everyone.What makes one person’s body respond may leave someone else completely cold.Structure helps you stay with intensity.Clear time containers, agreed touch, green, orange and red signals, and knowing how either person can stop gives the experience edges.Build capacity instead of constantly chasing sensation.Notice whether you can actually feel what is happening. Stay curious about the point where you begin to brace, perform or disappear.Aftercare starts before the experience.Know what each of you might need afterwards. A hug, space, a bath, closeness or quiet.The erotic isn’t only about how far you can go.It’s about how much of yourself can remain there when you arrive.I'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.

WelcomeHello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by Josy Frotton, a cosmic weaver, bodyworker, traveller, and host of the Soul Dancers podcast.In this conversation, we explore what it means to soften, receive, and stop abandoning yourself in the name of caring for everyone else.Josy Frotton shares what has been unfolding for her after a powerful Moon Dance ceremony, the deeper layers she has been meeting within her body, and the patterns of overgiving, responsibility, and “selfishness” that so many of us inherit.We speak about mothers and daughters, boundaries, generational conditioning, speaking your truth out loud, and choosing to honour your own path even when someone you love wants something different from you.This episode is an invitation to soften without disappearing.To receive without guilt.And to remember that choosing yourself does not mean you stop loving others.📝 Episode SummaryIn this episode, Josy Frotton and I explore receiving, self-expression, embodiment, family patterns, and the difference between caring for someone and abandoning yourself for them.Josy Frotton opens up about her relationship with her mother, the conditioning that taught her choosing herself was “selfish,” and her decision to support her mother after surgery without immediately dropping everything to be physically there.We talk about rewriting inherited beliefs, moving away from overgiving, finding practices that actually work for you, and allowing yourself to speak, dance, move, and connect with your body instead of following one prescribed path.I also guide Josy Frotton through a beautiful receiving practice, inviting her to soften into her heart, receive, and allow energy to move through and beyond her.This is a conversation about coming home to yourself while still holding deep love for the people around you.🔎 Key TakeawaysChoosing Yourself Is Not SelfishYou can love and support someone without abandoning your own needs, plans, and truth.Your Boundaries Can Become Your StandardsInstead of constantly defending a boundary, you can begin to recognise what is simply a yes or a no for you.Overgiving Is Often InheritedMany of us learned that being a “good” woman, daughter, mother, or partner meant putting everyone else first.Expression Does Not Have To Look One WayJournaling may work one day. Speaking out loud, walking in nature, dancing, or talking to yourself in the mirror may work another. There is no single right practice.Softening Creates Space To ReceiveJosy Frotton’s wish is not to push harder, achieve more, or become someone different, but to soften more deeply so she can receive.You Can Love Someone Without Living Their PatternCompassion and forgiveness do not require repeating the same cycles of sacrifice and overgiving.Follow The Flow, Not The PerformanceSometimes the next step is simply showing up without an agenda, without needing to be anything for anyone, and allowing yourself to follow what feels truly aligned.⧋ About Josy FrottonJosy Frotton describes herself as a cosmic weaver, bringing people, projects, and ideas together across different dimensions. She is also the host of Soul Dancers, where she speaks with global peacemakers about consciousness, shadow work, meaningful projects, and building the future.Instagram: @yogawithjosyWebsite: https://www.josyfrotton.com/Podcast: Soul DancersI'd love to hear from you drop me a text! 🔗 Resources & LinksIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share your thoughts.
