We're challenging the status quo, and we're not doing it alone - it's a pleasure to introduce our special guest, Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton, an intimacy and pleasure coach, who's here to guide us on a transformative journey.

Join us as we unpack her inspiring tale of resilience as she embraced self-care and pleasure, overcoming religious trauma, societal programming, and limiting beliefs. Dr. Pendleton shares her experiences and insights on how investing in self-care and embracing pleasure can be a liberating and transformative journey that guides us to the path we were always meant to find.

We talk about the societal constructs that keep us trapped in the rat race, the fears of being too seen, and strategies for reclaiming our safety and control. We explore the idea of how our full expression could disrupt the system, and why that might not be such a bad thing. In the final leg of our journey, we navigate the choppy waters of self-discovery and community-building. The power of belonging, of having a safe space to voice our ideas and express ourselves without fear, is liberating. We underline the courage required to pose hard questions to ourselves - questions that could lead us to fulfillment, even if it means dismantling our past to build a new future.

So, let's toss out societal norms and encourage women to fully embrace all aspects of their lives. You don't want to miss this empowering conversation.
