#86 - Emily Abbott: On Big Muscles and Bigger Orgasms

Emily Abbott is a former Crossfit athlete, but her coaches never incentivized leaning into her feelings, let alone programming workouts in alignment with the stages of her menstrual cycle. Now Emily studies acupuncture and body work, focusing on the female pelvis. In this conversation, we discuss the importance of nourishing both the feminine and masculine, which, despite what female athletes have been told, is possible through re-connecting with your intuition.
