Episode Summary

Welcome back to the second season of the Erica Diamond Podcast! WARNING: if you're prudish, you might want to sit this episode out. However, if you're not, and if you come to realize that women's pleasure and sexuality are a part of everyday life, I think it's definitely worth tuning in. 

I grew up with Erika Kawalek and was pretty blown away by her career path since we lost touch after high school.

If you’re a reader of my blog or follower of mine, you know that I don’t shy away from hard topics. I actually welcome them! And because this topic has become so mainstream - thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow's new Netflix Show The GOOP LAB, and specifically "That episode with Betty Dodson," that’s why this conversation is taking place today. Betty Dodson and her famous Bodysex circles exist to decrease shame around our bodies and heal ourselves from previous trauma, allowing women to experience pleasure in and out of the bedroom.

Let's dive in, shall we?

In This Episode

  • How Erika got into this line of work as a holistic intimacy coach and Bodysex Circle leader
  • The process of registration to treatment of the Bodysex Circle.
  • The correlation of previous trauma related to sexual health issues and/or struggles
  • Why Bodysex Circles are with other women, and not one-on-one. The benefits of group training vs. individual help
  • How married/committed women can improve their sex lives with their partners
  • The difference between vaginal and clitoral orgasms
  • Why yoga and sexually can be correlated
  • Jade egg and tantric yoga
  • And LOTS more uninhibited talk!
