Today we talk with Linda, a Holistic Love and Sexuality Coach, and her journey navigating working in the finance world, her own marriage, to find her own sexuality, and how she helps others do the same.

1) Men and women both have masculine and feminine power - the Yin and Yang, but in a relationship, we truly see how feminine energy brings power to a couple, our society and the world

2) Femininity is a different kind of power, it's about intuition, creativity, flow and spontaneity

3) Vulnerability in a relationship is also a strength, setting boundaries to feel safe

4) Doing the inner work to look at our triggers and the four phases of awareness. Working on this will bring an inner calm, which is then reflected to the external world and affects people and situations around us.

5) Vibrations and Vibes! Is it woo woo?! How we are all energetic beings and we can feel others positive or negative energy around us.

6) Women in sexless marriage, and what this means to their self-worth. Not "being enough", not feeling attractive - don't just work on the outside, also work on the inside feminine energy, which can be a lot of fun!

7) Sisterhood - a safe place to empower each other and connect to our sexuality

8) Self-love is about wholeness and loving every part of yourself completely

9) Finding the right language to talk about sexuality and debunking the myths and taboos about sex and what the "norm" is

10) Learning about the female body and what pleases you, then learning how to communicate your needs to your partner.

11) "Women are like water, men are like fire" How do we get into our feminine power? Slow down and be aware. Yoga, sexual practices, breathing and not being serious or perfectionist help with sexual embodiment. Do things for fun, that includes exploring sex for fun to keep long term relationships interesting.

12) How couples work is different to couples counselling. Couples work is more somatic, i.e. eye gazing, which generates oxytocin - the bonding hormone, or belly-to-belly breathing, as examples of connection practices

13) Being present with someone is more healing than "fixing" them Expressing not repressing your emotions, but in a controlled and directed way.

14) Start your own sisterhood! In this time of social distancing, you can have online meetings and celebrate life together!
