Whitney - Accidental Sobriety, Sensuality and Permission Slips
“Alcohol robs you of your opportunity to cultivate your power from your own courage. When you are courageous sober you learn that you can trust yourself to do bigger and scarier things. And other things you thought were scary become less so and your edges continue to grow.” This one is a spicy episode people so be ready. I met Whitney at a retreat where she led a session called … wait for it… Transcendent Orgasms. To say we were all terrified would be an understatement ( stay tuned till end when I share my story). Whitney fell into accidental sobriety almost 10 years ago when she became pregnant with her son. Having her first drink at 19 and never really loving the taste, but loving how it made her less inhibited, she made the choice to not introduce alcohol to her life. We talk about the permission slip (or an excuse) alcohol gives us to be fully expressed in a world that wants to tell us exactly how women should behave. How it's not sober sex we are scared of but sober vulnerability and how we must create safety in our bodies and courage in our souls and cannot do that authentically if alcohol plays a role. How you give your sexual power and expression and radiance to the care of a substance that really belongs to you and the exponential growth that comes when you take that power back. I am obsessed and a tad uncomfortable with this conversation which means it must be spoken about. It would mean the world to me if you subscribe, leave a review, and share this podcast with your friends, co-workers, and families. This will help the trajectory of this podcast and allow others who are seeking freedom from alcohol to find this podcast.
