No, this isn't another stereotypical "self-care" conversation — we don't need any more of those. This is about PLEASURE: what it (actually) is, isn't, and why it's so freaking hard for so many of us to access it.

In this conversation with Anne Hodder-Shipp and Sarah Tomchesson, S3X PLUS cofounders + facilitators of "Pleasure Attitudes: Building An Embodied Self-Care Practice That Really Works," we'll dive into:

Pleasure as a euphamism vs. pleasure beyond sexuality, and why these two can be so tough to separate for many of us
A take on burnout you probably haven't heard before, and how pleasure fits into the mix
"Pleasure role models"
Hobbies and making friends as an adult
and SO MUCH MORE
