“What Do You Like?: Conversations That Build Better Intimacy”(Sexual Communication 101)
Talking about sex is not always easy, but it is essential.
As women, we are often taught to be silent when it comes to our sexuality. As a result, many of us learn to ignore our needs and desires, and to even be ashamed of them.
Together, we will explore how to tackle internalized shame and advocate for yourself. We will look at practical frameworks for initiating these conversations, navigating vulnerability, and responding with empathy rather than judgment.
We will unpack common communication barriers, challenge myths about sexual communication, and offer tools to help you feel seen, heard, and understood.
Whether you are in a long-term relationship or just beginning to explore a connection with someone new, this session will help you build the skills to communicate more clearly, listen more deeply, and create a stronger foundation for trust and intimacy.
