Pleasure has unexpected side-effects.

I have always been comfortable with my sexuality. I can remember having conversations about sex with my middle-school bestie. At the time, I had no real-world experience aside from masturbating fairly regularly. But somehow, I seemed to know more about sex than the average 8th grader.

Sexuality is interesting to me; it always has been. So I read about it and talk about it all the time.

People love to ask me questions about their sex lives.

Which makes me perk up with excitement. I am fascinated by the challenges that people face, particularly vulva owners, about being in their bodies and embracing their sexuality. I witness the tug-of-war between religion and desire. And I empathize with those who feel dissatisfied, disconnected, disinterested, disgusted, or desensitized by physical pleasure.

But years ago, when I decided to go into business for myself, I had no idea that sexuality was my superpower.

For the first two years, I was foggy about my niche. With no clue about who my ideal client was or where to find them. Then I hired a coach that helped me put everything into perspective. During that first 90-minute session, I gained an insane amount of clarity. And just like that, the veil was lifted.

It seemed I’d been leaving breadcrumbs for myself the entire time. I was speaking my reality into being daily. Phrases like: “Queen of Sensuality,” “Love My Body,” and “Sex, Love, and Creativity” had been strewn across my vision board for years. But then again, the dots always connect backward, right?

After that session, I decided to challenge myself.
