Shannon welcomes Dr. Holly Wood, licensed marriage & family therapist and certified sex therapist, for a real, insightful talk on sexual trauma, intimacy, and pleasure.

You’ll learn:

  1. Why healing from sexual trauma is about more than “moving on”
  2. How pleasure, sex toys, and evidence-based therapy help rebuild confidence and mind-body connection
  3. Overcoming shame, negative beliefs, and fear around intimacy
  4. Small, safe first steps anyone can try today
