How to Own Your Desires & the Art of Intimacy with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife

<p>Physical intimacy is an important aspect of our lives, and yet it is also an area that for many people, can be a space that is complicated, difficult, and even emotionally or physically unpleasant. In this episode, we have a conversation with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, a relationship and sexuality educator and coach, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, with a Ph.D in Counseling Psychology.</p> <p>In this conversation, we discussed this important topic and specifically address how you as a woman can own your own desire in a positive and empowering way. We address how developing yourself as a whole person, making room for yourself, and belonging to your own desires instead of only belonging to others and sacrificing yourself for their desires and needs are all key components to owning your own sexuality (and your own life).</p> <p>Intimacy takes courage. It means you are willing to be knowable--even the flaws and the scary parts. Sexuality is just a part of intimacy, and Dr. Finlayson-Fife beautifully addresses how we can bring our full selves unapologetically to our partners, and as we learn to do that, we can learn to fully bring ourselves unapologetically to the world. We can show up as a whole, flawed and glorious person in our own lives. As we acknowledge and validate our own desires, we are able to own them. Dr. Finlayson-Fife’s words are both empowering and inspiring.</p> <p>You can learn more about Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife and her course offerings at her website, <a href="https://www.finlayson-fife.com/"><u>https://www.finlayson-fife.com</u></a></p> <p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/putting-connection-first/id1448424341?i=1000447251910"><u>Putting Connection With Our Spouse First</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/felicaallen?listId=2O85YJTT8WHT7&amp;ref=cm_sw_em_r_inf_list_own_felicaallen_dp_gjzhEKQt8HNgG">Here</a> is a list of ALL our favorite books, we use Audible as our library.
