Yamas and Llamas: Bet You Didn't Know You Needed Both

Can Sex Actually Get Better With Age? with Susan Bratton

I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2421631/fan_mail/new] What if we’ve been given the wrong story about aging? In this episode of A Beautiful Fix, Tracy sits down with intimacy expert Susan Bratton for a candid conversation about desire, connection, pleasure, and why some things actually do get better with age. Susan shares her own journey from Silicon Valley executive to one of the world’s leading voices on intimacy and sexual wellness. Together, they explore why so many women disconnect from this part of themselves, the difference between sex and intimacy, how pleasure impacts confidence and vitality, and why intimacy can be viewed as a skill set that continues to grow throughout life. This conversation isn’t just about sex. It’s about possibility. It’s about self-trust. It’s about questioning the idea that certain parts of life have an expiration date. In this episode, we discuss: * Why intimacy and pleasure don’t have to decline with age * The difference between sex, connection, and orgasmic intimacy * How cultural conditioning shapes the way women think about desire * Why pleasure, confidence, and vitality are more connected than we realize * The role communication plays in creating deeper intimacy * Why many women are told the wrong story about aging * Susan’s concept of the Upward Pleasure Spiral and how intimacy can continue to evolve throughout life * What becomes possible when women stop assuming the best part is behind them Whether you’re curious about intimacy, navigating midlife, looking to deepen connection in your relationship, or simply interested in what it means to feel more alive, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

Yamas and Llamas: Bet You Didn't Know You Needed Both

I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2421631/fan_mail/new] You already know how to be kind to others. But how kind are you to yourself? In this episode we get into Ahimsa, the first of the ancient yogic principles called the Yamas and Niyamas, and what it actually means to practice non violence toward yourself. Spoiler: it starts with how you talk to yourself when nobody is listening. Plus a miniature llama named Yama who somehow ended up at the center of all of it. Come for the llama. Stay for the thousand year old wisdom. Want More? Grab your Human Design chart here: https://www.abeautifulfix.com/pages/hdchart Want to unpack it together?

Embrace the Suck

I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2421631/fan_mail/new] Some seasons just suck. And if you are in one right now, this episode is for you. In this solo episode you are going to hear the story of Deanna, a woman who turned her husband's eight hour chemotherapy sessions into weekly picnic adventures, complete with a pretend flight to Italy, first class and coach included. Her story is going to change how you think about hard things. You are also going to learn why resisting the hard stuff makes it harder, what Buddhism and yogic philosophy have taught for thousands of years about suffering and attachment, and where the phrase embrace the suck actually came from.  By the time this episode is over you will have a new framework for the hard seasons, a permission slip to stop labeling things as good or bad, and one practical question to ask yourself the next time life gets heavy. This one is for the woman in the middle of something hard who needs a reminder that getting through it is its own kind of beautiful. Want More?

The Conversation Women Aren’t Having About Intimacy with Elana Auerbach

I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2421631/fan_mail/new] What happens when women reconnect to themselves? In this episode, I’m joined by Elana Auerbach for a conversation about intimacy, pleasure, self-trust, embodiment, and why so many women feel disconnected from this part of themselves in the first place. This episode is about connection. To your body. To your desires. To your nervous system. To the parts of yourself you may have stopped listening to somewhere along the way. Elana shares her deeply personal story of stepping off what she calls “the conveyor belt of life,” leaving a marriage that looked good on paper but didn’t feel aligned in her body, and eventually creating a weekly “pleasure practice” with her husband that completely transformed their intimacy and relationship. We talk about: * why intimacy can feel uncomfortable or vulnerable * what happens when women disconnect from their bodies * pleasure and nervous system regulation * trusting your body’s signals * the power of slowing down * feminine energy, embodiment, and self-acceptance * why intimacy is something we practice, not just something that happens Elana is the creator of the Sure Thing LOVE Experiment and author of The Sure Thing: A Pleasure Practice to Revive the Spark. Elana is also gifting listeners a free guided visualization:  A Journey to Connect and Deepen With Your Wild Sensual Self You can access it here: https://guide.surethingexperiment.com/wild-sensual-self Connect with Elana: Website: https://surethingexperiment.com/ Book: The Sure Thing: A Pleasure Practice to Revive the Spark Available on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Sure-Thing-Pleasure-Practice-Revive/dp/B0G8CP2DP6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=HGS6H9UE6RB9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H0AtIrkO_21GaB-cjB2yvGh9u5guZRynwRGmv1hOCEzCL5YCQI1MF2rHKWYHgw9e5zEXTpKrhnAnwVH6fap54Pl8Nj6r6RBsP5YM93erMnzD3ljpIiUZXr1J4GP6t0jfm4ipDYBQ1Q4pmWMzyk5XuuWJlvO-y-5FE44XddYgRKHbDeZpvSiyt_RRy7W8jWVZecfMDyRb_QH03fjAyPbC_LhDIhpPOYUF8hcb0mHs0QQ.vanct1sFi8EKw2T8BokyjC2cgfmCnZIJ6Val1VMoDYg&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+sure+thing&qid=1778042765&sprefix=the+sure+thing%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-1], Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and more.
