how to overcome butterflies

 

I’ve woken up with serious butterflies in my belly for the past four days.  If you’ve felt this before, you know how paralyzing it can feel.  Today I’m talking about why that is, and some things I’m doing to cope with these feelings and to get to the other side.

“We’re tired of progress for progress’ sake. We want pleasure, not just productivity. That’s what the feminine can teach us.” -Morgan Day Cecil

In this episode of Love Always, Jo, I’m talking with Morgan Day Cecil, an integrated sex, love, and relationship coach, creator of the Sophia Sessions, Romance & Adventure, and co-host of Sexy Tuxedo Jesus podcast.

We talk about…

being in supreme agreement with love,

getting back into your body,

the inner critic,

Why bird sounds are really good for your sex life,

Loving your belly,

Feminine wholeness,

Getting in alignment with your highest values and your deepest desires (spirituality and sexuality),

and more.
