Pleasure as Medicine (Especially When Life Gets Hard)

pleasure slow living stripped podcast Dec 30, 2025

When life gets heavy or you're in pain, most of us disconnect from pleasure - right when we need it most.

In today’s STRIPPED podcast episode, I share how pleasure can be a form of medicine: a way to anchor into your body, soften & stay present through grief, heartbreak & uncertainty.

And let's be clear: this isn't about numbing out or escaping reality (aka: NOT harmful, destructive, distorted, unhealthy or unethical forms of "pleasure") - it's about holding the tension of opposites & reclaiming your ability to feel it all *while also* making space for joy & sensuality (instead of punishing yourself even more). 

Let pleasure bring you back to life.
