This week we’re exploring the question of: “Who am I when I strip everything else away?” as a part of our Radical Reconnection miniseries on Reconnecting with Pleasure Podcast. This question in and of itself feels radical, and we get vulnerable discussing what it means to each of us. Women are handed so many titles and roles throughout our lives, it can be a radical practice of remembering who we are underneath all of that. We hope you’ll give this episode a listen and let us know who you are, underneath it all!

This week we’re talking about radical listening on the podcast, and it may not be in the ways that you’d expect. As we’re doing this Radically Reconnecting miniseries, we’re diving deep. We’re talking about the radical act of listening to yourself. Of creating time and space to receive information and wisdom, and to really tune in. Because we know it’s important to listen well to others, but we often overlook the importance of listening to ourselves.

We’re sharing our recent experience at a Recieve Tea Ceremony hosted by our friend and coach, Kayley Robsham at Dana’s house. It was spiritual, grounding, quiet, and deeply enlightening! We both reconnected with ourselves in a big way! We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Have you ever attended a tea ceremony or similar silent ritual for listening? We’d love to hear!

This week for our Radical Reconnection miniseries we’re sharing a personal story about a decision we recently made. When we launched Reconnecting with Pleasure we committed to letting it feel like pleasurable work and to let that influence our decision making, and this week we really put that into practice.

We’re sharing all the details on how we listened and trusted ourselves, created space for listening and reflection and how we ultimately made a decision by trusting ourselves and the timing of everything.

Spoiler alert, we’re also sharing the decision that we made to reschedule our second retreat until September. We think this is perfect timing! September in the mountains, radically reconnecting with yourself and your pleasure. Join us!

And let us know what you think about pleasurable decision making.

We’re so excited about this Radical Reconnection miniseries, and today we’re dropping our first episode - Slowing Down.

And while we realize that this might be a strange place to start, there is really nothing more radical than slowing down in a culture that demands urgency, is there?

Reconnecting with ourselves and with our desires and pleasure requires us slowing down enough to listen. To notice what we want or how we’re feeling. Breaking habits requires stepping out of autopilot to think about what really works, and what’s sustainable.

That’s what we’re getting into this week, and we’d love for you to be a part of the conversation! Take a listen and let us know what you think!
