Episode 024
Today’s episode is truly something special. I’m honored to welcome the brilliant Dr. Betty Martin, creator of the Wheel of Consent, for a conversation that will change the way you relate to yourself and others.
If you’ve ever struggled with knowing what you really want, how to say no, or how to feel safe in your body and relationships—this episode is for you. We’re diving deep into somatic wisdom, empowered consent, and the radical truth of honoring your inner “yes” and “no.”
This isn’t just a conversation—it’s an invitation to transform. Tune in, take a breath, and get ready to reclaim your boundaries, your pleasure, and your power.
