If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly “falling off” your wellness routine — or that consistency feels amazing for a week and then completely unsustainable — this episode is for you.

Many wellness routines are built around rigidity, productivity, and perfection, which can actually create more stress than support. Rituals, on the other hand, are intention-driven, emotionally rewarding, and adaptable — making consistency feel nourishing...

info_outlineToday on The Empowered Wellness Project, we dive into a topic that is as vulnerable as it is empowering—liberating your orgasm. Our guest, Veronica Lynn Clark, is an author, speaker, and host of The Liberate Your Orgasm Podcast. She challenges limiting beliefs and helps people embrace their fullest selves—through joy, love, pleasure, and freedom from societal conditioning.

We discuss:
- What “liberating your orgasm” really means—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
- Common societal narratives and limiting beliefs that hold people back from pleasure.
- Practical starting points for reconnecting with your power.
