How a Friends With Benefits Relationship Helped Me Heal

Have you ever felt torn between what you want and what you’ve been taught you should want? 

Today I’m sharing an honest, unfiltered conversation about pushing past fear, deprogramming sexual shame, and why saying “fuck it, let’s see what happens” completely changed my life. I talk about how a friends-with-benefits experiment unexpectedly turned into a beautiful relationship, why women are taught to feel shame around desire, and how to start questioning the beliefs you’ve inherited about sex, love, and being a “good girl.” 

If you feel like you have to be fully healed or perfectly confident before entering a relationship, listen to today's episode to learn how real growth often only happens when another person is there to help trigger it. This is a rambling, vulnerable, no-notes chat about sexuality, self-trust, and letting relationships be a place where healing actually happens.
