My guest today is with Elena Rossi, a connoisseur in female libido and sexuality. Elena shares her personal journey from suffering sexual dysfunction and pain to experiencing a sexual awakening and dedicating her life to helping women navigate their sexuality.

The Ep. delves into topics like the difference between sex and sexual intimacy, societal conditioning on sexual norms, the importance of safety and trust in sexual relationships, and the misinterpretations surrounding popular media like 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'

Elena also discusses her course on understanding and addressing the root causes of diminished libido in long-term relationships, emphasising the importance of alignment with one's sexuality and the detrimental effects of trying to conform to male-centric views of sex.

*Warning: There is swearing and talk of rape as a fantasy in this episode (so be careful with little ears).
