Ep. 20: Un-shaming, Radical Sexual Autonomy & the Real Deal on Pelvic Touchwork
Lots of great information about the four domains of pelvic health: the biochemical pelvis, the biomechanical pelvis, the all important scar tissue domain, and the emotional pelvis. Most importantly, what the shame matrix is, how it affects access to life as a whole, and why freeing yourself from it is *essential* before helping others with their sexuality. Your right to self pleasure and thoughts on radical sexual autonomy and patriarchal culture. All about reclaiming the erotic as love of life.
