Erotica, sexuality, orgasms, monogamy, daddy issues, slut shame and, of course... our childhood wounds.
“Men don’t want to marry the whore.”
Welcome loves! On this week’s episode of In My Truth with Sarah Riegelhuth, we’re chatting with my friend Savannah Freemayer. We met for the first time in person in Tulum through the Aubrey Marcus Fit For Service Fellowship, and I’m very excited to have Savannah on the line.
Savannah is an integrated and wellness life coach, using massage therapy, reiki and yoga as a holistic approach to treating mind, body and spirit. Her purpose and mission revolves around discovering our personal sovereignty, and the best way she has found this is through the creative power of our sexuality.
Throughout both of our lives, we’ve had a lot of shame around sexuality, and in this conversation we really dive into sex and our sexual evolutions. We talk erotic stories, orgasms, monogamy, daddy issues, slut shaming, and of course: our childhood wounds.
