(CW: Sex trafficking.) In this episode, we talk with coach and trauma-conscious practitioner Joanna Arai about what it really means to reclaim intimacy with yourself. Joanna shares her path from survival and disconnection to deep embodiment and pleasure, all while never having experienced orgasm. Through vulnerability and self-honesty, she’s cultivated a rich, beautiful sex life rooted in presence, not performance. This conversation explores how true intimacy begins within and how self-connection can transform every part of how we love and live. Welcome to Season Four.
