It’s a fact that good sexual experiences are crucial when it comes to our physical, mental and emotional health. Besides being a known source of pleasure, sex also boosts our immune system and improves our overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, despite scientific and psychological progress made in the field, there are still many women out there who are not able to enjoy sex and sexuality, and have to deal with the frustration this causes.

In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I’m fortunate to be joined by Dr. Jennifer Berman, co-host on CBS’ daytime talk show “The Doctors,” world-renowned expert, NY Times best- selling author and one of the nation’s leading authorities in the field of female sexual health. Dr. Berman emphasizes how important it is for women to dig deep in order to discover their very own sexual preferences, as well as being confident enough to share them with their partners.

In this episode, Dr. Berman and I discuss the following:

• The current pandemic context as a chance to reconsider relationships and re-connect with what really matters.
• The concept of brain-genital connections, and the importance of developing these if you haven’t already.
• How cannabis can help diminish the frontal cortex “inner talking” that usually makes it difficult for women to physically connect when having sex.
• Hormonal shifts that women experience during pre-menopause, and some natural medicines that are useful when having to cope with these.
• How likely it is to fall back in love with somebody.

There have been so many times in my life, some wonderful and some really rough times, when I’ve truly needed deep connection with women. And even if this connection has to be made long-distance, as it is while I’m recording this during the COVID-19 quarantine, it’s still important to nurture. There is something truly powerful to be found in deep connections among women, and I hope this episode helps you to see some new ways to foster these special relationships in your own life.

In today’s episode I talk about…

• My baby blessing, held during the COVID-19 quarantine, and how this was intentionally designed to foster deep connection among a large group of women.
• The women’s circle I held the morning of my wedding.
• The importance of sisterhood across the centuries.
• Ways that I go deep with girlfriends right now, even at a physical distance, and why it’s so important.
• The value and beauty of celebrating with women.
• Examples of ways you can take your conversations to much deeper levels, even remotely.

I mention a few programs that I’m currently leading: EMPOWERED and Goddess on Purpose. If you’re interested in learning more about them and finding out when I’ll be running them next, email me (carin@carinrockind.com).

Have you ever found yourself just waiting to feel more confident before undertaking a certain activity? Maybe postponing starting your own business or asking for that promotion until the fear of rejection or failure minimizes? Well, in order to make that happen, you’ll have to be courageous first. This is how it works: The more courage you have, the more you’ll take action when you’re scared; therefore, the more confidence you’ll have in yourself.

In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I’m fortunate to be joined by Amy Klien, co-founder and CEO of Give Her Courage, a retail company with a mission to build courage and confidence within young girls and women all around the world. Amy shares with us some major tips in order to help women become more self-assured, risk-takers and eventually turn into the CEOs of their own lives. As she puts it: “Confidence is being comfortable in your skin and loving all of your own imperfections.”

In this episode, Amy and I discuss the following:

• In comparison with men, women are less used to self-promoting or taking risks because they are usually too afraid to failing or not looking perfect.
• Self-image seems to drop significantly among girls at the age of ten to twelve years, when all the bullying and meanness of middle school kicks in.
• The importance of parents encouraging their kids to do activities they feel passionate about.
• Social media is a powerful tool, but it must be approached with moderation, since it can have quite a negative impact on young girls.
• How focusing on things related to their own wellbeing and personal development can make it easier for girls to cope with other people’s opinions and judgments.
• It’s key to put failure in a positive light: if you don’t fail, then you’re not trying. Every time you fail, you learn something that gets you closer to your goal.
