Welcome back to the Womben Wellness Podcast with me, Usha Anandi. 🌹
This episode was a hard pill to swallow for me. I'm not comfortable talking about my sexuality online - but I wanted to shed light on a completely different take on sex than what I usually hear in today's world.
This is a tell-all about the year and a half I chose celibacy - and no, not as punishment.
I share how growing up in a strict Irish Catholic home shaped my sexuality, what happened during a powerful womb-lifting training in Thailand (hello, energetic cords and old lovers resurfacing ✂️), and why stepping away from partnered sex helped me reclaim sovereignty, desire, and my own pleasure.
If your womb feels full or stagnant, if you're tired of carrying expectations - partner, family, culture - and you're ready to feel yourself again, this one might be for you.
You'll hear about…
The moment everything flipped: visions, messages from past partners, and realizing our tissues can hold energetic imprints.
From repression to performance to truth: how shame, birth control messaging, and "cool girl" culture influenced my early choices (with nuance and respect for access + autonomy)
Why celibacy can be a cleanse: treating it like a fast that sharpens senses, clarifies boundaries, and restores vitality.
Breaking the validation loop: noticing where we outsource approval and redirecting that energy back into aliveness.
Try this inquiry:
Where am I outsourcing my pleasure or self-worth? What would it feel like to give myself what I'm asking others to provide?
