People Pleasing Is Ruining Your Sex Life
💫 Are unhelpful patterns affecting your sex life? Join Darshana Avila in an insightful lecture exploring how people pleasing, perfectionism, and overcompensating might be holding you back from true intimacy and connection.
Through engaging reflection, humor, and practical embodied exercises, you'll learn to recognize and shift these patterns, paving the way for more pleasure, power, and purpose in your relationships. Known for her candid and grounded approach, Darshana combines insights from erotic embodiment, trauma healing, and self-actualization.
