Throughout the conversation,  Danie shares her  personal journey of coming out  after leaving a 7-year marriage with a man\u2014a turning point that led her to discover somatic work and  reconnect with her body after years of dissociation. From that work, she began supporting others who feel stuck, unsure how to move from awareness to embodied change.   Danie offers insight into  how somatics can gently rewire our relationship with pleasure  and intimacy. Along the way, we talk about  nonverbal consent,  how to initiate  without anxiety, and  why lesbian sex doesn\u2019t follow a single script. She also explains why \u201cWhere do you feel that in your body?\u201d isn\u2019t always the best place to start\u2014and what to ask instead.   If you\u2019ve ever  struggled with initiating sex, felt  unsure how to communicate boundaries, or  wanted a deeper connection with your body\u2014this episode offers practical tools and permission to start small.
