#03 Knowing Your Body Better and Why It Matters; Sex, Instincts and More

Why does it really help us, as women, to know our body better? Find out in this episode. From knowing/learning the names of your genitalia — because let’s face it men know theirs pretty well, right? — to listening to the body’s instincts and intuition. 

So many women come away from birth deeply affected by what their body now feels and looks like. I gently invite you to get to know your body better, to tune inwards and be an advocate for yourself.

I speak about:

• knowing the parts of our genitalia and why many of us don’t know
• my healing experience at a ‘Paint Your Vulva’ workshop
• Anna Lou Walker’s book ‘The Little Book of Vaginas’
• the clitoris and how it is not one single point
• practicing love and reverence for the body, especially post-birth
• how the body speaks up with instincts and intuition
• the benefits of yoga for tuning in to the body's wisdom and our truth
• that we all deserve to be continent and confident
• self-pleasure and knowing what feels good
• support for pelvic floor issues and upset
• the different signs of our health and not self-silencing
• feeling comfortable ‘down there’ is just as important as anywhere else

Themes: Women’s Health, Sex, Intuition, Self-Advocacy, Self-Care, Birth
