SHOW NOTES: Episode 34
Sometimes, infertility can make it hard to enjoy sex and really connect with our partners. If that is where you are currently, today's episode may be a really good one for you.Today, I am excited to introduce you to Danielle Savory, a sexual and sensual pleasure coach. Danielle is the host of It’s My Pleasure Podcast and she helps women experience more pleasure and desire with a mind, body, and heart approach.
On today’s episode, Danielle starts the conversation with a brief intro about herself, her background in neuroscience, and how she has been teaching mindfulness and meditation for over a decade. We talk about how pleasure is not just about sex, how everyday pleasures are not something that can be forgotten about and are actually vital to our overall well being, and how pleasure and intimacy play a role in pregnancy loss and infertility. We chat about acknowledging the challenge that you are going through is a simple thing someone can start doing when they feel disconnected, how scheduled sex can still be a fun thing for you and your partner during infertility, and how there are three pillars of pleasure including safety, belief, and curiosity.
We also talk about the importance of understanding sex is not just for reproduction, how we can get through a period of no sex instructions from your doctor and not feel like you are starting again at ground zero when that time is over, and how there is not only an intentional relationship with your partner but also with yourself. We also chat about the importance of tuning in to your body and mind and learning how you can support it through all circumstances and why it is important to talk to yourself like you are talking to a friend.
I truly appreciated this conversation with Danielle and I know many of you will learn so many things from it. I would love to hear how this episode helped you! Share this podcast with a friend, leave a review, or share on your social media and tag me @SarahBrandell.

MORE ABOUT THE PATH TO MOTHERHOOD PODCAST:
Welcome to The Path to Motherhood Podcast. I’m your host Sarah Brandell and I’m a fertility life coach, wife, and a mother on a mission to help you manage your mind and emotions around fertility and trying to conceive. I know where you are because I’ve been there. I have been through the long journey to motherhood, the waiting, the appointments, the testing, the unanswered questions, the medications, the shots and I am ready to help.
This podcast is for you if you are ready to learn how to navigate your path to motherhood authentically while honoring the emotions but also cultivating some hope. Join us each Monday as we walk through how to use the power of coaching to not only feel better along the way but also feel like you have an identity out of just trying to conceive.
