Imagine this: the candles are lit, the mood is set, your partner reaches for you and yet, you don’t feel quite right. You’re not in the mood, not because you don’t love or desire them, but because something inside feels… off. Maybe you’re bloated. Maybe your energy is low. Maybe there’s a little itchiness “down there” or a discharge that doesn’t look—or smell—like it should. Let’s pause here, with kindness and curiosity. These quiet signs your body is sending? They matter. Because how we feel in our bodies deeply affects how we show up in intimacy, connection, and even in love. Over the years, I’ve had heartfelt conversations with women navigating these very experiences. And so often, the common thread isn’t just hormones or stress, it’s what we’re feeding our bodies and how we’re hydrating them. Let me tell you what I’ve learned: One woman shared how her deep love for bread, sugary treats, and heavy carbs was quietly working against her. The excess sugar threw off her pH, led to gut issues, and triggered recurring yeast infections. Her body became inflamed—and intimacy? Off the table. Not because she didn’t care. But because she just didn’t feel good. Another woman told me how she rarely drank water. And as a result? She was dry yes, down there, but also throughout her body. Dehydration doesn’t just show up on your lips or skin, it affects your vaginal health too. If the outside is dry, chances are, the inside is too. That can lead to discomfort, itchiness, and a low desire for closeness. Let’s be real. It’s not cute, and more importantly, it’s not what you deserve. But here's the good news: you have the power to shift this. With just a few intentional steps, you can nourish your body, restore your energy, and reignite your connection, with yourself and with your partner. Here are few tips to consider as you work to improve your wellness and sexual health overall: Increase Intake of Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet can provide essential nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber that support overall health and sexual wellness. Foods like berries, leafy greens, okra, avocados, and citrus fruits can enhance circulation, boost energy levels, moisture, and improve libido. I am sure that you have heard the funny saying, "Vegans Taste Better" LOL. When you eat all of those fresh fruits and veggies, it truly is a direct reflection on the inside. Choose Whole Grains: Opt for whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice, oats, and whole wheat over processed grains. Whole grains are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that can help regulate blood sugar levels, promote heart health, and sustain energy levels, all of which are beneficial for sexual vitality. Limit Processed Foods and Added Sugars: Cutting back on processed foods, sugary snacks, and beverages can reduce inflammation, stabilize blood sugar levels, and support hormonal balance. Excessive sugar intake can negatively impact energy levels, mood, gut health and libido. So focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods can enhance overall well-being and sexual health. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining optimal bodily functions. Drinking proper amounts of water throughout the day can support circulation, lubrication, and overall energy levels, which are essential aspects of a satisfying sex life. Additionally, herbal teas and natural fruit-infused water can be hydrating alternatives to plain water. So here's the deal. Let's clean up your our diets. It will supprt your wellness and help to enhance your sexual health and intimacy overall. Truth be told, there is no guarantee on how long any of us have with our loved ones. Let's do the good work of being our best selves for as long as we can, not only for you but for the person you love. And how about you?Are there things showing up for you that is preventing you from being your best self in the bedroom with partner? What are some things you can improve to address that?

GET STILL-ISH...AND LISTEN FOR THE DOWNLOADS Just imagine… It’s early morning. The house is quiet. The world hasn’t stirred yet. You rise gently, pour yourself a glass of water, and sip slowly as the day begins to unfold. You light your favorite incense—maybe sandalwood or lavender—and ease onto the couch, into that one spot that always cradles you just right. You close your eyes, take a breath, and whisper three things you’re grateful for. Then, Breathe in… hold… breathe out. Breathe in…...
IF IT AIN'T EASEFUL...DO THIS FIRST The other day, I had a heart-to-heart with a friend who’s an entrepreneur. She’s deeply passionate about her work, incredibly generous with her time, and like so many of us, exhausted. It’s summertime. Sales are down. Folks are traveling. Jobs are being lost. Budgets are tightening. And like many small business owners right now, she’s feeling the ripple. She wears all the hats—sales, finances, client relations, community support. She’s the one everyone...
