687. Pleasure, Intimacy + Personal Growth: Find Freedom Through Your Body

In this episode, Krista shares with Lindsey her profound journey at a pleasure and intimacy retreat in Mexico, where she explored her physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries, engaging in practices like somatic healing and sexological bodywork.
Ahead, K+L emphasize the importance of personal pleasure, especially for women, and how this can ultimately enhance intimacy and strengthen relationships. Krista discusses her journey of reprogramming her body and mind to embrace her own pleasure, free from the concerns of a partner’s experience.
Get ready to understand sex and intimacy on a whole new level as Krista describes the enormous benefit of reconnecting with your body and embracing both masculinity and femininity in a safe, explorative environment.
We also talk about:
Krista’s physical + mental challenges during her retreat
The therapeutic potential of repatterning + reprogramming the body
Receiving + exploring personal pleasure without external influences
Exploring new pleasure routines without a partner
The impact of personal pleasure on future relationships
The roles of masculinity + femininity in attracting compatible partners
Personal insights Krista gained from participating in a Mexican sweat lodge
