Description

Welcome back to the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast! I'm genuinely so excited for you to meet today’s guest, Elana Auerbach! Elana is an author, mentor, activist, and someone who truly lives the work she shares. Her journey into pleasure didn’t come from theory or trends but from real life experience, curiosity, and a willingness to try something different in her own relationship and body. We talk about what happens when you stop waiting for the spark and start choosing it, and why taking ownership of your pleasure can shift so much more than just your sex life.

In this episode:

• The impact a weekly pleasure practice can make in your life
• Why pleasure affects creativity, confidence, and energy outside the bedroom
• What it means to take 100% responsibility for your pleasure
• Learning to ask “what do I want?” and building that muscle
• How to start small with simple daily pleasure moments
• Shame and how it disconnects us from our bodies
• Bringing curiosity and compassion to resistance and inconsistency
• How tending to different parts of yourself changes intimacy

Thank you so much for listening! Don't forget to share on your social media and tag me if you loved this episode!
