What if low desire, disconnection from your body, or pain during sex has nothing to do with being broken --- and everything to do with what you were never taught? In this episode, Shannon sits down with Mint Elmokadm, somatic sexologist and pleasure-focused sex educator, to have the conversation most people are too afraid to start.
Mint shares:
- Why so many women --- especially those raised in conservative or religious environments --- grow up with shame, guilt, and zero pleasure education, and how that shows up in the body years later
- The most common issues she sees with women and couples, from desire discrepancy to pain during penetration to the inability to let go with a partner
- Why "spicing things up" rarely fixes a low libido --- and what you actually need to look at first
- What somatic sexology is, why it works faster than traditional talk therapy, and how it bridges the gap between what your mind wants and what your body will allow
- How learning to receive pleasure in the bedroom translates directly into your ability to receive help, support, and joy in everyday life
- The one thing Mint says is the biggest turn-on in long-term relationships (hint: it has nothing to do with lingerie)
- Her top practical advice for women wanting to explore their sexuality and reconnect with their bodies --- whether single, newly dating, or years into a relationship
Tune in for an honest, empowering, and refreshingly shame-free conversation about pleasure, presence, and what it really means to feel free in your own body.
