EP 12: Finding the Pleasure in Motherhood: Rethinking Desire, Sensuality & Self-Care with Regan Figg

About this episode

The episode explores how finding pleasure in everyday moments can enhance the experience of motherhood.

What if the key to feeling more like yourself in motherhood wasn't more me time — but more pleasure in the moments you're already in? In this episode, I'm joined by Regan Figg — author of A Mother's Pleasure , business coach, the host of The Pleasurepreneur podcast, and former exercise physiologist — for one of my favourite conversations on the pod so far. We get into what actually happens to our sense of self when we take on the identity of "mum," why we conceal the wild, ambitious, rageful, playful parts of ourselves, and how something as simple as tasting your morning coffee can start to change everything. We cover: The "postpartum Pandora's box" of beliefs we unknowingly take on when we become mothers The basic needs cup vs the life force energy cup — and why one can't overflow without the other Why sensuality has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with presence Why self-care as a to-do list will never work, and what to do instead This one is equal parts practical and perspective-shifting. 🔗 Connect with Regan: On Instagram Visit her website Listen to her podcast: The Pleasurepreneur on Spotify Listen to her podcast: The Pleasurepreneur on Apple…
