Have you ever felt disconnected from your own body, especially when it comes to intimacy and pleasure? That's the pivotal question we unpack with Kimberly Vita Rose, a somatic sex educator and sexological bodyworker, who graces us with her profound insights on forging a deeper bodily connection and shedding the layers of sexual shame. Through her diverse expertise in midwifery, naturopathy, and nutritional medicine, Kimberley guides us through the power of somatic practices in enriching relationships and personal empowerment.

Our candid conversation takes a turn into the personal as I open up about the transformative period of leaving a long-term relationship, leading to a voyage of self-discovery and the art of communicating boundaries and desires. We delve into the historical and societal pressures that shape our understanding of women's sexual anatomy and the necessity for precise language in reclaiming our bodies. Kimberley shares the enlightening effect of tantra retreats and somatic practices that have revived not only my sense of self but also the dynamic of her second marriage.

Wrapping up this episode, we touch on practical tools for daily reconnection with our physical selves, from mindful breathing to somatic awareness. Kimberly also introduces us to the wheel of consent and the nuance of embracing vulnerability in our sexual dialogues. For those eager to continue this journey of growth and connection, Kimberley extends an invitation to her upcoming online offerings and shares how listeners can tap into her wealth of wisdom. Join us in this heart-opening discussion that promises to shift the way you think about intimacy, pleasure, and communication.
