We’re glad you’re here!   Expectations about pleasure, and the messages you get about what it means to be a sexual being, are often deep. But I want you to know that it is possible to embrace pleasure —and that it is possible to find joy in your body and in the world around you.    In today’s episode of The Better Sex Podcast, we are joined by M'kali-Hashiki. M’Kali is a Somatic Sacred Storyteller & Erotic Ritualist. She holds certifications in Sexological Bodywork; Sound, Voice, & Music Healing; and Tantric Sacred Intimacy. As a Somatic Sacred Storyteller, she helps you uncover the stories your body is holding onto, jettisoning the ones poisoning you, and helping you to reframe & retell the ones left. As an Erotic Ritualist, she designs journeys for you to commune with The Divine using your physical pleasure as the conduit of communication. Her Divine Purpose is helping folx heal their erotic wounds so they can have the joyous & juicy life that is their Divine Birthright and move further along in their path to individual & collective liberation.   In her nomadic travels across North & Central America, she teaches at colleges & universities, conferences, and the occasional adult toy store or educational center. She offers sexuality training & employee wellness/team-building skills to organizations & companies. She is also a skilled Sensitivity Reader hired to read manuscripts to make sure they avoid explicit & implicit systemic bias. Her lived experiences as a fat, black, queer, femme, and trauma survivor inform every aspect of her work.   Highlights: (03:57) How did M’Kali get here?
