He would not be please at the embarrassment around it nor the confusion it plays when it comes to intimacy. Or maybe he would… We can unpack that one another day. So if it’s not sex what is it?

There is a balance that we can find between being our authentic selves and having consideration for those around us. We dive into that very topic in this week's podcast. *During our conversation, I refer to a "mussy tussy" bouquet.

This week we are exploring why we do what we do, say what we say, and think what we think. Each of us has wounds, emotional baggage, trauma, or weird perspectives that influence all that we are. The disempowering ones, the ones that make us think we are worthless or failures, are the dark wounds that need to be healed. Listen as we discuss ways to heal these and explore the difference between trauma and our emotions.

Joy is the piece of the puzzle that needs to be in place to see the beauty in the world. Without joy, beauty falls by the wayside, staring a person right in the face never to be appreciated. Joy is what allows us to move forward in the face of adversity. It gives us the deep knowing that what is going on today will pass and gives us the strength to learn the lessons we need to learn from that adversity. It allows us to smile through the tears, find peace in chaos, and live through loss. How do you know if you have joy? What if you've lost it? We talk about all that and more in this week's episode.
