Struggling with a break up, grief, or the overall pain that comes with being human? If so, you will feel deeply seen throughout this vulnerable episode with our guest, somatic sex coach Rachel Overvoll. Rachel is here to share her story from growing up in a religious cult to navigating an abusive relationship - and everything in between. Her story shows us that we never know what our path is going to hold and there is no way to predict it - and as leaders, we sometimes have to go first. Showing up in leadership is not about being perfect, it’s about sitting in truth and ownership of the human experience - because it's f*cking messy. This episode is full of wisdom around sex therapy, owning our imperfections, and how we can address our pain to make a change.
Please be in a grounded space when you are listening to her story. This episode is a reminder that even if you are navigating dark and challenging times, healing is available for you too. No matter how many accolades or how much experience we have - we’re all human and we all deserve gentleness and grace.
