Can You Truly Access More Pleasure In Your Everyday Life?
If you have ever felt pleasure was something elusive or reserved for someone else, this week’s episode is guaranteed to spark a shift. James Preece is joined by the brilliant Lee-Ann Cordingley - a certified sex coach and yoga teacher - for a lively and frank conversation about pleasure and why so many people feel blocked from enjoying it fully.
Dive into fascinating insights on why the "pleasure" topic is so often shrouded in guilt or overthinking, especially for women, and discover why pleasure is genuine self-care.
You’ll hear about the links between stress, nervous system responses, people-pleasing and intimacy - and learn why solo sex is the secret foundation for knowing what you really want. There’s also a guided meditation for pleasure, practical tips for feeling more alive and present and a few giggle-inducing moments from the yoga studio.
If you’re ready to stop going through the motions and start amping up the pleasure in your life, listen now - this chat is packed with permission, laughter and strategies you can use right away.
