🚨When I was 17, a boy texted me while I was driving and as I saw his name pop up on my phone, I veered off the road and popped a tire on the curb.
Seeing his name pop up was more than just receiving a text. Wrapped up in that text was my worthiness, my validation, my sense of deservingness.
These were all ways that I gave my power away to him. And it didn’t help that he treated me like garbage because that translated to feeling powerless quite often.
As I grew, I continued to place my power in the hands of others.
What I didnt realize was that I could actually claim my own power. That it was mine for the taking.
I had no idea the BS messaging and brainwashing in place that were making me think my power could lay with anything other than myself. That I was broken and untrustworthy with my own power. In reflection, nearly every rom com, every fairytale, every cosmo magazine had been beating that message into my brain my whole life.
👑Reclaiming my pleasure was a really big part of reclaiming my power. Because pleasure is something that I had firmly put in other people’s hands. I didn’t have a self pleasure practice till I was in my late 20’s. I was literally and figuratively not holding any pleasure in my own hands lol
🔥Part of the power of the work that I offer my clients is rewriting their own s*xual stories. The stories that have been created as a mere result of being a human exposed to all the messaging and programming we receive. We rewrite stories around topics like pleasure, confidence, orgasm, relationships, desire, fulfillment, surrender, acceptance, s*xiness, safety, etc. And we re-write these stories from a place of empowerment and from a s*x positive lens. Placing your s*xual empowerment in your own hands is literally one of the greatest gifts of a lifetime.
So I’m curious, have you ever had the experience of giving your power away? ☝🏻☝🏼☝🏽☝🏾☝🏿 I sense I’m not alone here.
