647: Leah Carey: Good Girls Talk About Sex
Leah Carey is a sex and intimacy coach and host of the podcast \u201cGood Girls Talk About Sex.\u201d She works with people eager to explore new avenues of their sexuality and fulfill their greatest desires, like: diving back into the dating pool after a long time away, having first-time queer experiences, investigating consensual non-monogamy, or learning how to communicate about kink.\n\xa0\nThis work was not an obvious life choice for Leah. Growing up with an abusive father, she learned to be a VERY \u201cgood girl.\u201d\n\xa0\nShe got involved in a series of emotionally abusive relationships, always convinced that SHE was the problem \u2013 not pretty enough, smart enough, or sexually skilled enough. And because she wasn\u2019t having pleasure during sex, so she was convinced she was broken.\n\xa0\nAt age 42, life threw Leah an opportunity to build a new story: with both parents gone and no siblings, she could put aside the family mythology of the \u201cgood girl.\u201d\n\xa0\nShe began challenging her old beliefs about worthiness, attractiveness, and desirability. Watching her phenomenal growth, friends started seeking her out to help them do the same.\n\xa0\nToday, Leah works with women JUST LIKE YOU to reflect their true sexual nature back to them, without the judgment, shame, or fear that can get in the way of seeing it for themselves.\n\nListen in to hear Leah share:\n\nHow growing up in an alcoholic and abusive household shaped her sexual identity\n\nThe challenge of healing trauma and overcoming sexual repression while her parents were still alive\n\nThe road trip that led her on her journey of sexual awakening\n\nHow her work with a sex worker was so healing and transformational\n\nHow going to a sex resort and not having any sex completely changed her relationship with her body for the better\n\nWhy connection and safety must trump sex even in trusted long term relationships\n\nWhy libido is likely not the issue holding back sex & intimacy in your life\n\nWhy moms are \u201ctouched out\u201d and what to do about it\n\nThe current cultural shift in acceptance and normalization of sexual identities, practices and frameworks\n\n\xa0\nLinks mentioned:\n\nConnect with Leah: LeahCarey.com\n\n\nLeah\u2019s podcast Good Girls Talk About Sex: GoodGirlsTalk.com\n\n\nLeah on Instagram\n\nLeah on Twitter\n\nLeah on YouTube\n\n\xa0\nSponsor info and promo codes:\n\nPlease find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/\n\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?\xa0Email our sales team at sales@adalystmedia.com\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
