This episode is sooooo gooood! I wanted to have Sarah on the show because as women, we\\u2019ve been socialized to believe that pleasure is bad - let alone S E X.\\xa0

When you look at the ways that certain products are marketed towards us, for example, foods are often sold as \\u2018guilty pleasures\\u2019 - which means that it\\u2019s off limits. And we know when something is forbidden, we want it more, and then instantly feel shame when we do get it.

One of the topics that I address with my clients is the idea of diversifying joy - which presents itself when the only thing that we have to look forward to is food - and so we eat because we NEED joy and pleasure in our lives. So, by adding other pleasurable things, we can reduce our need to eat all the things.

Yes, of course we talk about sex, sexual identity, and everything that goes along with it to help us be whole. But the big take away is how to add more pleasure in to your life so that food isn\\u2019t the only thing that we run to.

Sarah D\\u2019Andrea Bio:

Sarah has a Master\'s degree in Human Sexuality and finally became a coach after working in women\'s health start-ups. She has always been fascinated by sex but knew that she wanted to help other people when she realized that her (rather disappointing) sex life had been created by Hollywood depictions of sex and lacked genuine pleasure. In her coaching, she connects women to their authentic pleasure so they can experience a sex life that is fun, inviting, and authentic to their true desires.
