Manage episode 466251206 series 3588962
What happens when a woman long accustomed to suppressing her desires finds herself drawn to a fantasy that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself? “Baby Girl,” the film starring Nicole Kidman, has ignited powerful conversations about female desire, agency and the rarely spoken truths of midlife sexuality.
As our bodies, identities and relationships shift, so too does our relationship to desire often in ways we never expected. I'm so excited to dive into these themes with today's guest, someone whose work is all about helping women reclaim their pleasure and step into their full erotic power. This week, episode 46 of Pleasure in the Pause explores the complexities of female desire!
