Many women assume a lack of desire is a hormone problem.But what if it's actually a reflection of chronic stress, self-abandonment, nervous system dysregulation and a life that no longer feels nourishing to your soul?As an energetic healer, embodiment coach and somatic practitioner, I've noticed a common thread amongst women who feel disconnected from their sexuality. More often than not, they're not disconnected from sex. They're disconnected from themselves.Their joy.Their creativity.Their pleasure.Their playfulness.Their truth.In this episode, we're diving into the connection between the sacral chakra, nervous system regulation, self-abandonment and desire. We'll explore why so many women struggle to access pleasure when they're living in survival mode, constantly over-giving, people-pleasing or abandoning their own needs.We'll also unpack why desire isn't something you force, but something that naturally emerges when the conditions are right.Inside this episode we explore:• The sacral chakra and its connection to pleasure, sensuality, creativity and receiving• Common signs your sacral energy may be depleted or blocked• Why self-abandonment slowly disconnects women from desire• The nervous system's role in pleasure, intimacy and sexual expression• How chronic stress impacts your capacity to receive and feel• The link between integrity, self-trust and feminine magnetism• Why your partner can't give you what you're unwilling to give yourself• Practical ways to reconnect with pleasure, play, creativity and your life force energyIf you've been telling yourself that you have a low libido, this episode invites you to ask a different question:What if your body isn't broken?What if it's simply asking for more truth, more pleasure and more of you?Because sometimes the path back to desire isn't found in the bedroom.It's found in the way you live your life.Connect with Davina:Instagram: @davvyxxWebsite: www.theupgradebydavina.comIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman who needs this reminder and tag me on Instagram so I can hear your biggest takeaway.With love,Davina x
