Description

The path of sensual reclamation is a heroine's journey. It's not for the timid. When we get in touch with and begin to embody our full Goddess essence, things shift. Sometimes massively.I'd like to say that the path of reclaiming our sensuality and pleasure is an easeful flowing process but for all women I know it's not.It's deep work.And deep play. Doing this work will bring you more ease, flow and so much more, but there is a price of admission. We have to be willing to take a stand and really show up for our inner feminine in a world that's determined to shut Her down.  This work requires raw honesty, courage and levels vulnerability that can be really uncomfortable.  It asks us to keep our promises to ourselves and create boundaries in ways we probably haven't before.  We may question if we have what it takes. We do. When we decide.When we decide to claim our pleasure we are in our true power and cosmically supported. As the old saying goes; "Venus favors the bold." -OvidClaiming our inner Venus will shake things up.I like to see it as shaking things up to wake things up.When I started this journey I had no idea where it would take me.To be honest, in many ways I still don't. It's the joyful and beautiful unfolding mystery of it all that keeps me in awe.And keeps me on this path.In today's episode I share a bit about the specifics of my personal journey; what that initially looked like for me as a busy mom of three young boys. I also share how this circuitous journey transformed my marriage and laid the foundations for my work and the framework I use with my clients. I riff on:How this work elevates those around us or they fall offEmbracing the unknown of the adventureThe big pleasure reframe; some pleasure myths I needed to bustHow I created more safety in my systemHow I claimed my responsibility for my pleasure; taking the reigns How I made space for pleasure in my lifeMy bathtub templeThe magic of early morning practiceDesire clarity & emotional empowerment"Rage is passion without a place to play""Under every complaint is a desire"How my Inner Bitch became my BFFThe power of embodied desireSensual & sexual embodiment practices as a meditationHow we need to strengthen our nervous systemEmbracing our emotionsEmbodying the love that we areSpeaking my desires from my feminineHow all of this impacted my marriageWant to dive deeper?Learn more about The Vital Goddess MastermindBook your free Pleasure Queen Activation SessionJoin my free breathwork membership; Shakti Core Breathwork Journeys

Welcome to The Vital Goddess Podcast! Hi, I'm Dianne Shepherd, certified holistic sexuality coach with a specialty in the Taoist Jade Egg Practice. In this show we explore an empowering reframe on women, menopause, midlife and beyond. I call midlife and menopause the Passion Portal; a sexual and spiritual rebirth into the richest, most creative, and sexiest chapter of a woman's life. I offer a body/mind/spirit and trauma-informed perspective on Taoist and Tantric practices, somatic sensual healing, and desire-based living. Here we explore all things that support you in reclaiming your pleasure, nourishing your libido naturally, tapping into the power of your Sacred Femme and rebirthing your life at midlife. Your sexual energy is not just about sex. It's the foundation of everything. And midlife is the perfect time to cultivate it.
