Ep. 188: How Shifting Towards Pleasure Can Create More Joy

We were socialized to focus our care taking to be outside of us. For others to benefit from.  Which is lovely AND you need that same attention from you.I will always argue that taking care of OTHERS is easier than taking care of yourself, not because the task itself is hard, but because of our resistance to it.Let’s talk about how and why its so important for us to be courageously selfish and how that can help us in our pleasured life.Featured on the show:Tangled in open for enrollment: https://www.daniellesavory.com/tangledIf you enjoyed this episode please share with a friend who might need to take her own courageous step towards being more selfish.Enjoying the podcast?Make sure you don’t miss a single episode!

As a practicing gynecologist and certified menopause specialist, she breaks down some of the changes we may see in perimenopause and menopause and how this impacts our sexual response.Dr. Shyama is so well versed on this topic, and as a mother and wife herself she understands how challenging it can be to juggle it all and still find time for pleasure.

New year and a time that so many of us are setting intentions. What I love to observe about this time is about how much of the narrative is about doing MORE. But when it comes to sex and intimacy goals, for most of us it requires us to do less. To do less to reset our nervous system. To do less so that we can open to receive. Do less so that we aren’t overwhelmed, overtired and overstretched so that we can experience the oodles of pleasure that our bodies are wired for.Episode Highlights:Why sex and intimacy goals are so important to create the relationships we want.4 steps to help yourself be successful with these goalsA list of ideas for sex and intimacy goals for YOU and for YOUR RELATIONSHIPFeatured on the show:Get turned on every morning, so that you can simmer in the foundational state of feeling GOOD.
