Grief & Pleasure: The healing power of your sensual body in times of change (postpartum & beyond) with Stacey Ramsower

Click here to send me a quick message :)

Have you ever noticed yourself becoming more aware of your senses when you're in the depths of grief or loss?

It's an interesting thing that feeling such grief can remind us of what we love, to paraphrase a Martin Prechtel quote that this week's guest Stacey Ramsower shared.

Somehow, dropping into what sometimes feels like emptiness, helplessness, or lostness, can actually help us feel what matters most. 

Which seems counter-intuitive but is often true. 

Whether it's the often-unspoken grief we experience postpartum when our identities change or grief after another loss or immense life transition, pleasure is commonly part of our healing path.

And we talk all about this, and so much more, in this weeks episode. 

Listen to learn:

• about the intersection of grief and pleasure
• how inner listening may help you connect with your own pleasure
• ways that your simple senses might help you remember what you love
• why it's important to acknowledge your grief postpartum
• pelvic pain and pain with sex postpartum and some tips to navigate it
• how any kind of immense loss can lead to grief and how pleasure heals
