Two years ago, I made a choice to take a BIG LEAP and leave corporate america after 21 years to pursue a new calling. When you decide to take the leap, you enter a place of THE BIG UNKNOWN. You learn a new level a trust and faith and are tested in multiple ways.
What I find fascinating about doing work you love is that it evolves over time. I remember Gayle Hilgendorf, one of my very first mentors, sharing with me that it was normal for businesses to shift over time. And boy was she right. I started out as a health coach focusing on nutrition and healthy living, to women’s leadership and empowerment and now I am happy to share that my calling has taken another pivot.
Actually this message has always been there underneath the covers the whole time, IT WAS JUST HIDING!
How many of you have ever hid behind something for fear of what someone else might think? Well I was right there with you. I couldn’t get my REAL message out there because I didn’t think I could talk about SEXUALITY in Corporate America. Women’s empowerment and feminine presence have always been a core component of my message, I just never led with using the term SEXUALITY. It was taboo. It was evil. Companies wouldn’t hire me. I needed to change my messaging to fit the culture.
Therein LIES THE PROBLEM.
Thanks to thousands of years of confusion, shame and oppression of the feminine essence, generations of women have lived with unfulfilled and empty lives. They have lived under the myths regarding pleasure and their own sexuality. Pleasure has been defined as instant gratification from an outside source as opposed to experiencing joy, this inner long lasting peace.
With this stereotype, many women are either depriving themselves of feeling pleasure believing that it is wrong, shameful,not needed or selfish; while others are secretly sneaking around hiding the fact that they enjoy feeling pleasure. Either way, it’s like this forbidden fruit. If I experience pleasure (or too much of it) I am “a bad girl” and if I deprive myself or sacrifice my own pleasures for others, I am “a good girl”.
I have studied, experimented and researched this topic for years This past year a combination of things happened in my personal life as well as in the world that lit a new fire in my belly.
Too many women are suffering in silence and it shouldn’t be that way! The key to a women’s confidence, power and asking for what she really wants lies within her sexuality as a woman. I am on a mission to create a movement around the way we think about sexuality and our pleasure in the world.
My mission is to create a world where:
… healthy sexual activity is not considered taboo, shameful or dirty
… men and women do not suffer with mediocre relationships and sex in silence
… communication on the integration of sexuality and spirituality is more widely explained
… better education is provided at a younger age on sex, love and relationships
… the body is not scary, ugly, dirty or an imperfect disaster waiting to happen
… we don’t suffer from feeling lonely or empty and are able to naturally express our desires
… sexual abuse and rape should not be so widespread
