Back to EpisodesWhat Do You Actually Want? Reclaiming Pleasure, Desire & Self-Trust with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton
Description
What do you actually want?
It sounds like a simple question, but for so many women, it’s surprisingly difficult to answer.
In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with her dear friend and pleasure coach Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton for a conversation about pleasure, desire, relationships, money, and giving yourself permission to create a life that actually feels good.
Dr. Kim shares her incredible journey from growing up in a high-control religious environment and waiting until marriage to have sex, to realizing the life she had built wasn’t actually what she wanted. She opens up about her first marriage, the affair that became an unexpected turning point, leaving her church community, and ultimately building an entirely new relationship with herself, her desires, and pleasure.
She also shares how her own pleasure journey unexpectedly became a business, why learning to generate pleasure for yourself can transform your relationships, and what happens when you surround yourself with women who give you permission to want more.
