What If Your Healing Begins With Pleasure?
Hey beautiful,
Hope the holidays treated you well.
I’ve been tending to my own health lately.
I’ve been feeling incredibly tired, and my body just wants to rest.
One thing I’ve noticed in myself — and in so many autoimmune women — is how ambitious and driven we are.
Always wanting more.
Wanting to do more.
Reaching for the next goal.
It’s such a beautiful trait… but sometimes to our own detriment.
We push ourselves beyond exhaustion to accomplish the next task or work toward the next milestone.
Sound familiar?
If there’s anything this journey has taught me, it’s this:
The body MUST be honored and heard, or it WILL make you stop and listen.
Through pain.
Through fatigue.
Through symptoms.
And that isn’t a bad thing.
Our body deserves care, rest, and pleasure.
We live in a hyper-masculine world that teaches us to push, grind, and go harder.
But that doesn’t always serve us.
Our feminine energy invites pleasure, flow, softness, grace, ease, sensuality.
Nourishing and embodying this energy in a world that programs the opposite is HARD… not gonna lie.
And that isn’t to say we shouldn’t ever be in our masculine — that energy serves us when it’s time to take action.
But we don’t stay there.
We return to our feminine and find a sweet balance between the two.
We establish a new foundation where both energies are honored.
Today, I invite you to find that sweet spot between your masculine and feminine.
Maybe you take action at work…
and when you get home, you put on soft music and glide through your space like the queen that you are.
Maybe you indulge in a long bath.
Maybe you offer your body slow, loving touch that brings pleasure.
Or maybe, in a challenging exchange, you choose to embody queen energy instead of going into masculine defense.
Because the thing so many of us have been missing is healing feminine energy.
This is the energy that heals our bodies.
This is the energy that heals our world.
And here’s something most women are never told:
Pleasure is a healing modality.
Pleasure lowers cortisol.
It raises oxytocin.
It improves immune and reproductive function.
It reconnects you to your power.
Pleasure restores peace, connection, and vitality.
If inviting your feminine back into your life feels like something you’re working on, I’d love to hear what’s moving for you and what’s opening inside you.
Sending Healing Queen vibes,
Dr. Z
