Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to explore the taboo world of sex, shame, and mental health with our very special guest, Emily Morse. As a sex and relationship expert, Emily has seen it all and is here to spill the tea on how shame can hold you back from experiencing true pleasure.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the three types of shame that can wreak havoc on your sex life: rejection shame, exposure shame, and self-blame. Emily shares her insights on how these shame patterns can be traced back to childhood experiences and societal messages that leave us feeling disconnected from our own bodies and desires.

But it's not all doom and gloom - Emily also shares her top tips for overcoming shame and embracing your sexuality. From challenging limiting beliefs to practicing self-love and communication with your partner, she's got the tools you need to take your pleasure to the next level.

And let's not forget about the power of orgasms! Emily dishes on how getting busy can actually boost your mental health by reducing stress and increasing feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin. Plus, she shares some juicy stats on just how many women have experienced sexual trauma and how it can impact their ability to let loose in the bedroom.

But don't worry, this episode isn't just a downer - Emily is all about empowering women to prioritize their pleasure and aim for at least 25% fun in their daily lives. She even gives a shout-out to the joys of solo play and how it can help you get in touch with your own body and desires.

So if you're ready to break free from shame and embrace your inner sex goddess, grab a glass of wine, settle in, and get ready to learn from the one and only Emily Morse. It's time to get shameless and prioritize your pleasure like never before!
