Show Notes: Fire the villain in your mind. When you’re done with that, fire the one in your bedroom. Maybe you’re single and you don’t feel your own beauty. Perhaps you’re in a relationship and the physical chemistry has eroded over time. While I am a successful, confident, and entrepreneurial woman, it can be hard to turn off my work brain and switch to bringing the sensuality in. I can get stuck in my masculine energy. No matter our gender, we all have a blend of masculine and feminine energy, and my work brain is definitely masculine energy. I decided to choose myself and own my worth by exploring how I can shift into the mindset of physical and relational connection. With this in mind, I wanted to share a podcast episode from You Turn Podcast Host Ashley Stahl on creating physical chemistry. About You Turn Podcast: If you’re not familiar with the You Turn Podcast host Ashley, let me tell you more!
