In this episode, our guest Juliette Karaman, a certified mind and body coach specializing in healing, trauma, and navigating body shame, joins us to discuss the decline of intimacy in long-term relationships and strategies to reignite passion and connection. The conversation revolves around the five ways to pleasure, similar to love languages: energetic, sensual, sexual, kinky, and shapeshifter, each representing a unique pleasure archetype.
