Ep. 11 The Reclamation of Pleasure and Self-Expression with Rachael Maddox and Elizabeth Dialto
In this conversation, I am joined by two powerful women, Rachael Maddox and Elizabeth Dialto, as we navigate the challenges of owning our pleasure and self-expression and understanding self-regulation in the midst of trauma and overwhelm. This delightfully bantering conversation touches on visibility, the power of touch, and ways in which we can connect to our vastness.
