Darshana Avila left her corporate career and her marriage, and stepped into a life of erotic wholeness.
Now she's a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner & Sexological Bodyworker featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop with Gwyneth Paltrow - and she's here to talk about what most of us are too afraid to ask for.
In this episode, we talk about:
Knowing what you want (in sex and in life) and actually asking for it: Why high-achieving women can run companies but can't speak their desires in bed.
The identity crisis that led to liberation: How Darshana walked away from everything that wasn't aligned - and what happened next.
Her experience on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop: Working with a lesbian couple to help them understand what they want, need, and hw to speak it out loud.
Erotic wholeness as a path to power: How reclaiing pleasure is an act of rebellion (and sovereignty)
People-pleasing in the bedroom (and eveywhere else): Why saying yes when you mean no kills intimacy, and how to stop.
This conversation is raw, real and permission-giving. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, your desires, or your power, this one's for you.
