Welcome back to the Connected Pleasure Podcast. I’m Kayla, your host (she/her/hers), and this is Day 2 of Open Cart Week — where I’m opening six spots for my 1:1 Coaching Container, available from October 6–12.

Today’s episode is about something that comes up for so many of the women I work with: the fear of being vulnerable — especially when it comes to talking about sex.

For many of us, sex was either never talked about growing up or it was actively shamed. So opening up about it — even with a compassionate, nonjudgmental professional — can feel terrifying. I get it. I’ve seen it over and over again in my practice: that initial hesitation, that nervous-system contraction when we start to approach conversations about desire, pleasure, or pain.

But here’s the truth: healing requires vulnerability.

And when you allow yourself to be gently witnessed, normalized, and supported in these conversations, everything starts to shift.

In this episode, I share what it’s like to move through that fear inside my 1:1 coaching container, how I help you feel safe and seen in the process, and how even just talking about sex begins to heal your relationship to it.

Connected Pleasure Newsletter + FREE Scared Body Workbook

Hello, my loves. Welcome back to the Connected Pleasure podcast. I'm Kayla, your host. I go by she, her hers pronouns.

And I am back for another mini episode in open cart week. Today is day two of open cart week. Of the seven days that I am opening my doors for six spots for my one on one coaching container.

And this episode, I wanted to focus a little bit on the fear of being vulnerable. For a lot of the people that I work with, talking about sex is really hard.

It feels like a big step to talk about sex with a stranger, let alone talk about sex at all.

That for a lot of the people that I work with, they grew up in families where sex was just not talked about or it was actively shamed and told as something that this is not something that we should talk about at all and is shameful to think about or do.

And so sex can be a really hard thing to open up about and to be vulnerable around and to feel like it's even something that you can access for yourself, it can feel really hard to jump into something and know that that is kind of the expectation that, like, we are going to be opening up these conversations that may feel pretty uncomfortable to your nervous system at this point in time. And I totally understand that. And again, you know, it really depends on where you are in your journey.

For some people that are still pretty closed off, this is probably not the right container for you.

But if you are at a place where you're like, I, I've done maybe enough internal work to where I know that this is something that I need, that I'm willing to be open and take this journey and to kind of go into the depths of all the hard stuff that I've experienced in my sexual life throughout my life and really untangle it and reclaim again your pleasure, remember your power and come home to your body if you are in that space. But still maybe have some hesitation of, like, this is going to be hard, this is going to be uncomfortable. I totally hear you.

So, I mean, for some people, you may not be in the right space for this. And that's okay, you know, that's why I'm, you know, here to try to help you decide whether or not this is a good fit for you.

So if you feel in yourself like this is going to be scary and I'm willing to do the scary thing and talk about the scary thing, then I think this is for you and I'm here to hold you in that. I know how scary it can be. I know how hard it can be for Some people to open up and talk about this. I know I totally get it.

And one of the big things that I do with people is just normalizing a lot of this, just having these conversations.

And I've heard this from a lot of the couples that I work with, that they'll have these conversations in our sessions and they go home and continue to have some of these conversations. And a lot of the couples are like, we've talked more about sex than. Than we've ever talked about before. And the more they do it, the easier it gets.

And so the more that you talk about sex, and in sessions with me, you know, I'm. I'm going to be straightforward.

Like, I'm going to use anatomical language, and we're going to dive into the deep stuff, but also in a way that is not shameful. Like, I've done the work. I know how to talk about this stuff without it feeling squeamish.

And so I'm here to just be matter of fact and hold you in the space that you're in. If you're feeling squeamish, that's okay. That's okay.

I can hold the space and I can make sure that, you know, we talk about why that is and how we can move through that feeling. And again, like, the more you are, the more you are exposed to sex positivity and sex positive language, the easier it gets.

The absolute easier it gets. So know that that's part of this process.

And in the first session that we do in this container called Gathering the Threads, we look at your whole history of your sexual experiences. And I really do think that that is one of the first things that starts to happen, is the normalization of sex and intimacy through just conversation.

You're just having these very frank conversations about what happened and what you want to happen. And the more we move through it, the more normal it becomes.

I also recommend, like, consuming some media like sex positive TV shows or movies, or listening to podcasts or reading or listening to a book. Those are all really helpful ways to also normalize it. So just know that that's part of this process is normalizing.

It's okay to talk about sex and to open up and be vulnerable.

And I promise you, I know that it takes a bit to get comfortable with a new person, but I promise you that I can definitely hold the space for you and help you feel like this is a comfortable and okay thing to talk about. So as a reminder, the doors are open and let me remind you of what the offers look like.

So My core coaching offer is the eight week one on one container, the six more two teaching link sessions with time to integrate that into kind of what's going on for you and how that resonates with you. You get some homework in between sessions and there are two integration sessions, one in the middle of the six teaching sessions.

Plus you get text and voice support from me in between each session on telegram.

So again if you pay in full. Well actually first let me say if there is any early bird availability still.

Again, there were two spots or are two spots for the early bird special and that is $500 off either the core coaching offer or the VIP offer. So it's for only if you pay in full, the four month payment plans still stay the same, but if you pay in full then it's $500 off.

So if those are still available then go get that discount because that's a huge discount. And again there's only two spots for that.

In the six spots that are available, two bonuses that I want to highlight are kind of ones that are going to be co created. So one bonus is an extra integration session or a closing ritual session. So those are going to be for both the core and VIP package.

No matter what type of payment plan you do. I'm giving that to all, all participants.

So I'm giving you the choice of an extra integration session for free that you can add on or we can kind of customize a closing ritual session for you. That would be something that kind of helps really bring everything into alignment within yourself.

There are guided sacred sessions that would integrate your transformation, kind of anchor the pleasure into your body and allow it to be just like a ritual closing for you. So that's an option that would be just by yourself.

I'm also kind of playing around with the idea of if people wanted to do something together as a group like this six person cohort, you're all doing it individually. But if you all accepted and wanted to come together as a group at the end, then we could do a collective closing circle at the end.

So it would kind of just depend on the people that sign up and who would want to do that.

But essentially there's two bonuses here that you get to pick from, of either doing an extra integration session by yourself, or figuring out if we collectively want to do a closing circle, or if most people just want to do an individual closing ritual or an extra integration session, then I would just probably not do collective closing circle. But that could be an option too, if people wanted to do that.

So I think it would be amazing if I could get, you know, all six people to come together at the end of their journeys and then have like a group collective space where, you know, you can meet each other.

I know when I put this together, I was like, I don't know if people would want to do that when they haven't gone through this journey with those people. But I also think it would be kind of fun. And maybe at that point people would be a little bit more inclined to, you know, just.

It wouldn't be something where you had to be super vulnerable and like, speak throughout, you know, your entire journey. It would just be more of like a closing ritual and like sharing energy together versus sharing super vulnerable things with each other.

So I would kind of talk about that with each person and see how the whole group is collectively feeling about that. But essentially, again, you get either an integration session or some type of closing ritual, either by yourself or potentially with a group.

And if you pay in full, whether it's through the Early Bird special, if you're one of those lucky people that get those two spots, or if you end up paying in full with the full price, you get a personalized playlist from me. Again, music is my language. My body resonates very much in tune with music. And sacred feminine music has been really pivotal on my personal journey.

You will not hear music that is as empowering as sacred feminine music. And it really helps you get into a place of, like, reverence for yourself, love for yourself, love for the earth.

I just think it's a really great add on to what we're already doing to listen to while you're getting ready in the morning or in the car or, you know, just wherever to kind of stay in that resonance. It's been really helpful for me. So, again, I've personally curated songs that I love, so hopefully you also love them too.

And that's a fun bonus to have. If you pay in full, the add ons that you have that are all 15% off. You don't have to get the early bird discount to get 15% off.

They're 15% off no matter what package you what package you buy. Actually you do have to pay in full for some reason. My ways that I have people pay it won't let you do it in your payment plan.

So it it won't give you the option to pay that at checkout with a payment plan. So I could probably figure out a way around it, but for now I'm just going to keep it simple and just say so.

If you pay in full, then you get a 15% discount on either the ongoing support package, which again is two sessions in a month after you go through this initial container to do more support, more integration if you feel like you need it. That's 750amonth. You could purchase that one as many times as you want. I am completely fine with that.

But it's just a month by month basis so you don't have to commit to more than just one month at a time. And then there is a partner container that is 14.99 usually. Again both of these are 15% off if you buy them with your initial coaching container.

Partner Support, which are four 75 minute sessions in a month.

And that is really a jumping off point to talk about what needs to be healed in your relationship to move towards more intimacy and how do we start to change the dynamic between you and your partner to create the intimacy and the sex that you want to be having in your relationship. So if that's something that you're interested in, then that is available at checkout as well.

Again, if you are paying in full and I think that's all that I have, I will try to detail all of that in the show Notes. Again, if you want more of something written out that isn't just in the show notes, please go and subscribe to my new my newsletter.

Maybe I'll put a link for the newsletter in this show notes as well. Again, it's just a great way to also have like a corresponding email come to you along with these podcast episodes. So go subscribe to my newsletter.

The link is in like all the show notes that I've had so far except for maybe the last couple, so you should be able to find it pretty easily. And with that I think I'm going to end here. I have another episode coming out later today, so stay tuned for that, and I will talk to you soon.
