Bailey and Kimberly discuss the concept of pleasure in connection to leadership and entrepreneurship. 

Many people believe and live their lives thinking that pleasure is not connected with their work, and it might just be linked to sexuality. However, they explore different aspects of our daily life in which pleasure should be present to make us feel happier and, as a consequence, live better lives.

What is more, Kimberly tells her personal experience with pleasure, knowing herself and being a successful businesswoman who helps others find their way, as well. She was able to make huge changes in her personal and professional life, which led her to be happy and satisfied.

They strongly advise that the first step to add pleasure to our life is identifying what gives us pleasure, even if you think that is small. Then, we should all take the time and space to deal with deep things like traumas to heal and turn our lives into positive and happy lives.

Finally, Bailey and Kimberly jump into the narrative of ‘how people react to our changes and improvements’. They claim that we are not responsible for their experience of us, and we should not base our decision having that in mind.
