Why You Don't Enjoy Sex

Why You Don't Enjoy Sex

This episode is your reminder that the permission you've been waiting for isn't coming from a partner, society, your family or even your favorite coach. It starts with you. So many women have been taught that sexual desire is something to suppress, hide or apologize for. We learn to be desired rather than to acknowledge our own desires. We wait for someone else to tell us it's okay to explore pleasure, ask for what we want or admit that we crave intimacy and connection. In the waiting, we reinforce the belief that our desires are wrong. In this episode of Juicy Bits with Carmen, we unpack the hidden ways women give away their power by waiting for permission to enjoy sex, explore their sexuality and prioritize pleasure. Carmen explores how sexual shame, fear of responsibility and outdated narratives about "good women" keep us disconnected from our bodies and our desires. She shares how reclaiming your voice begins with giving yourself permission to want what you want without guilt or apology. Whether you're avoiding intimacy, settling for unsatisfying experiences or longing to discover what truly turns you on, this conversation invites you to stop waiting and start listening to yourself. Your desires are not a problem to fix. They are information. They are human. And they deserve your curiosity. If you've been craving a deeper connection to your body, more confidence in expressing your needs and the freedom to experience pleasure on your own terms, this episode is your invitation to begin.

Episode 36- The Shame is the Same: Food, Sex and Shaming Women

What if the shame you carry around your desires was never yours to begin with? In this episode of Juicy Bits with Carmen, we explore the surprising connection between food, sexuality and the patriarchal conditioning that teaches women to distrust their own desires. From hiding snacks to hiding sexual fantasies, many women learn early that wanting too much, enjoying too much or taking up too much space is something to feel guilty about. Carmen shares personal stories and powerful insights about the ways shame shows up in everyday life, how language shapes our relationship with pleasure and why labeling ourselves as "good" or "bad" based on our choices keeps us disconnected from our bodies. This conversation is an invitation to challenge the messages you've inherited about pleasure, desire, aging, body image and sexuality. You'll discover how reclaiming your desires can become an act of self-trust, empowerment and personal freedom. If you're ready to stop apologizing for what turns you on, release sexual shame and reconnect with your body's wisdom, this episode is for you.

Episode 34- Shame and How it's Blocking You From Your Juicy Life

Even when you think you've busted through your shame, it keeps rearing its ugly head and if you let it run your life, you'll never have a life that is juicy AF! Shame is often a giant block for women to claim what it is that they want. It is the root cause of so much destruction in our world. Shame is the belief “I am bad” whereas guilt is “I did a bad thing.” For many women it feels dangerous to have sexual desire because of our conditioning around sex. That conditioning might come from our culture, religion, family or society at large. So, if we take on the meanings that are passed down to us from outside of us, we are in danger of internalizing what it means to have sexual desire and we believe that we are bad for having it. This episode reveals some steps to shedding your sexual shame. These steps are the antidote to isolated and hiding because of your shame.
