PART 1. There is an interesting phenomena that Anne Bland has noticed recently in such an extend that she felt it required, not just one, but two part episode. In the dating world that encourages one-night stands, Tantric circles, ethical non-monogamous, and polyamory situations, Anne has learned that women can feel broken. In this 2-part episode, she discusses how the pressures of "being empowered in sex and sexuality" - which in so many words means casual sex - can lead women to feel disconnected and guilty, and many have used the phrase: "Am I somehow broken...?"

The female biochemistry, especially the "happy hormones" kick in after sex more than in male bodies and can make women less ablet o detach emotionally. Anne also discusses how Tantra explains this through Yin and Yang, the opposite energy poles, in male and female bodies and how it can cause women to feel these unnecessary negative emotions.

We haven't been taught about relationships and how to become happy in couplehood. There isn't an MBA for Relationships - and there really should be. Sometimes it is just about learning the tools and having a roadmap to co-create a beautiful, loving, healing, and sexy relationship. Anne Bland shares her experience from her Tantric retreat for couples and celebrates the conscious coupling where partners can grow and heal far better than when alone, proving that both parties are willing to do the work. Relationships are big trigger points that bring light to the shadow parts that were established due to childhood unmet needs. Becoming self-aware of these and having support is the first step in having great relationships. Safety is paramount in any relationship and if you do not feel safe at all levels, please reach out for help and make sure you are safe.

When desire is unmet what happens to the relationship? Does it end or is it doomed for a lifelong disconnection? Anne Bland shares two stories, one from a woman who is ready to divorce for lack of coital orgasms, and one from a man who is fed up with just pleasuring his wife. Both are ready to leave as their sexual desires are not met. Sometimes separation is the best and the success in relationships cannot be measured by its longevity. But sometimes, they can be turned around. Anne invites couples to reconnect and find intimacy through Tantric practices and conscious communication.
