Let's get real about something rarely discussed: what happens when a woman consciously steps away from sex. For over a decade, I didn't have sexual relationships – not because I couldn't, but because I chose not to accept what was available on terms that didn't serve me.

This wasn't a dramatic decision or vow of celibacy. One year drifted into five, then ten, as I focused on raising my child and building my business. Sex simply fell off my list of priorities. Yet as time passed, questions crept in: Was something wrong with me? Had I missed my chance? The whispers of shame suggested I should be grateful for any attention, echoes from past relationships where I'd felt obligated to express gratitude just for being chosen.

Everything shifted the day I reconnected with myself – not through anyone else's validation, but through my own recognition. Looking back, I realized I'd never had sex purely for myself, but rather to be liked, to feel safe, to avoid conflict. When I finally returned to my sexuality, it wasn't about catching up or proving anything. It was about choice – the most powerful element of desire. I discovered I could want intimacy while maintaining firm boundaries about what felt good physically, emotionally, and energetically.

If you've stepped away from your sexuality, whether by choice or circumstance, know this: you're not too late, too weird, or beyond redemption. Your power hasn't disappeared – it's just been quiet for a while. When you're ready, you'll feel it again in your body, your choices, and your voice. You owe no one explanations, but you owe yourself the truth. Ready to reclaim your power? Subscribe now and join our community of women living authentically on their own terms.

If you’ve ever been told you’re too much, too loud, too honest, too confident, this one’s for you.

Because let’s be clear:

You’re not too much. You’ve just outgrown playing small.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to step into your power. Not in theory, in real life.

It’s not a quote on your wall.

It’s buying the damn trainers.

It’s setting the boundary.

It’s walking away without explaining.

It’s cancelling the trip because of a £2 pint.

And it’s doing it all without asking anyone’s permission.

If that sounds “too much” for someone?

They were never built for where you’re going.

What are you carrying that no longer belongs to you? That relationship where you've outgrown each other? Those expectations that squeeze you into someone you're not? The voice telling you to keep quiet just to maintain peace?

Letting go has gotten a bad reputation. We've confused it with weakness, with giving up, with failure. But what if releasing what no longer serves you is actually one of the most powerful acts of self-care possible? In this raw, honest episode, we explore the quiet, savage power that comes from finally saying "no more" and actually meaning it.

I share my personal journey of releasing a friendship that spanned from age 14 into adulthood—a relationship filled with subtle digs and mounting tension I endured simply to avoid rocking the boat. The relief and growth that followed reminded me that sometimes our greatest power isn't found in holding on, but in letting go.

You don't need permission to release what's weighing you down. You just need courage—and you already have it, even if you've forgotten. Whether it's guilt, dead-end relationships, or outdated versions of yourself, once you let go, something remarkable happens: you come back to yourself. And that authentic you? She's fucking powerful.
