What does pleasure mean to you? That's the question that relationship educator Ally Iseman tackles in this episode of MINDBEND. Host Matthew Dunehoo welcomes Ally to discuss how pleasure can be more than just a fleeting indulgence—it's a tool for healing and human connection. Ally challenges modern perceptions that often reduce pleasure to mere sexual gratification, advocating instead for its role in regulating the nervous system and fostering self-awareness.
Through personal stories and client experiences, she illustrates how honouring pleasure without shame can lead to authentic relationships and deeper self-understanding.
