In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we explore what happens in the actual moment you try to choose yourself — and why desire so often loses to other people's needs.

Building on Episode 1's exploration of reconnecting with desire, I walk through why that desire gets so quiet when someone else's need gets loud, and what it's costing you to keep choosing the loud thing.

If you've been trying to reconnect with what you want and feel like life keeps testing that the second you try, this one is for you.

→ Why desire is quiet and need is loud — and why that's not a character flaw

→ A reflection question to sit with this week

→ Permission to let your desire speak first, even for three seconds
