Weaving Pleasure as Resistance
Welcome back, beloveds. In this episode, I’m grounding us in why I do this work — why weaving pleasure back into the fabric of our lives is not just personal healing, but collective resistance. I share a story about the imbalance of modern work culture and how deeply it disconnects us from softness, rest, and embodiment — the very places where pleasure lives.
I explore how our society’s obsession with productivity and “proving ourselves” keeps us in constant fight-or-flight, far from the nourishment our bodies crave. And I speak to the bigger web — how personal pleasure, body reclamation, and feminine energy are intricately woven with systemic healing and global change.
As I close out the early bird period and we enter the final stretch of open cart for Connected Pleasure Coaching: Weaving Pleasure Back into the Fabric of Your Life, I invite you to reflect on what could shift if pleasure became your non-negotiable. What might it look like to slow down, soften, and live from the truth that your pleasure is sacred — and revolutionary?
Join me in this conversation on reclaiming ease, rest, and embodied resistance.

Transcript
Welcome back beloveds, to the Connect to Pleasure podcast.
Speaker A:I'm Kayla, your host, I go by she, her hers, pronouns.
Speaker A:And this is your second episode of day six in my open cart of my one on one coaching program for connected pleasure.
Speaker A:Coaching.
Speaker A:Weaving pleasure back into the fabric of your life.
Speaker A:Early Bird is officially closed, my loves.
Speaker A:So I hope you got your discount if you wanted it because it's closed now.
Speaker A:So yay, we made it through one gate.
Speaker A:We made it through one of the closures of this container during open cart week.
Speaker A:So everything is now back up to full price unless you do the flip for monthly payments.
Speaker A:And let's dive into yet another story that I have for you.
Speaker A:This is a personal story instead of a more formal story, but I really want to ground us as we go into the afternoon of the second to last day of this open cart week.
Speaker A:I really want to ground you again in why I'm here and why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Speaker A:So earlier this week I was working with a client of mine and we were having a conversation about the hardship of work, life balance and how a lot of people are required to not only work their job, but also another job.
Speaker A:This has happened to my husband several times in being in this in between place where maybe you're like in line for a promotion and so you end up being in like a stretch role and having to do multiple jobs at once.
Speaker A:Or maybe you've gotten a promotion and you are still doing multiple jobs but it's now expected of you.
Speaker A:And I just think it's bullshit.
Speaker A:I think it's complete, utter bullshit.
Speaker A:It only is good for the company because they don't actually have to hire the needed amount of people to do the job.
Speaker A:And they bake it into like, well, this is how you're proving yourself.
Speaker A:This is how you are showing that you can do the work to either get promoted or you know, you're promoted and then you're waiting for them to actually fill your slots and it's just, it's complete and utter bullshit.
Speaker A:I'm sorry for continuing to say that word, but I, it just, it gets me really mad.
Speaker A:And you know, the corporate world, I will not say it's all bad.
Speaker A:There are some people that enjoy their corporate jobs, but for the people that I tend to work with, they do not.
Speaker A:And even for the people that enjoy their corporate jobs, rest and ease and play and creativity is typically not at the center of what the job is.
Speaker A:And the notion that you have like a life outside of work that is actually More important than what you are doing in your job is like nowhere to be found.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:And I would also mention that this is semi unique to American culture.
Speaker A:There are definitely other countries that are very capitalistic, but our country is.
Speaker A:I. I will say I'm not versed in all the cultures around the entire world, but to my knowledge, our country is definitely one of the most like, intense around productivity, if not the most intense around productivity.
Speaker A:I mentioned this in another episode that one of my newer friends of mine that I definitely want to have on this podcast in the future as a guest is from Brazil and she had talked to me about when she came to this country how everything is just so intense all the time.
Speaker A:Like we are always doing something for a specific end goal and purpose.
Speaker A:And then we are like amplifying it to the nth degree and seeing how we can do it better, bigger, faster, harder, stronger.
Speaker A:All the like, masculine ways of doing things to again, like the extreme, extreme, extreme.
Speaker A:And there is never room for softness and slowness and ease and embodiment and just being in the process of something.
Speaker A:You know, so many people are so afraid to try something new because we've been taught to feel inadequate if we're not good at something right from the beginning.
Speaker A:And what bullshit is that too?
Speaker A:Like, none of us are good at anything right from the beginning.
Speaker A:That's the whole point.
Speaker A:You have to learn how to do it.
Speaker A:We didn't just come out of the womb knowing how to walk and talk.
Speaker A:We had to learn those skills as we went.
Speaker A:And just the people pleasing and the not being able to hold boundaries and all of this is just, ugh.
Speaker A:Again, I can't.
Speaker A:I could rant about this forever, but the reason that I'm bringing this up to you might have seemed like a very long tangent.
Speaker A:That does not have anything to do with what we're talking about here.
Speaker A:The reason I bring this up to you is because pleasure lives in the softness.
Speaker A:Pleasure lives in what we call the rest and digest.
Speaker A:And most of our society is built on being in fight, flight or freeze.
Speaker A:We are, we have built a society that just traumatizes people and puts people into a place of constant stress all the time.
Speaker A:And that is not where pleasure lives.
Speaker A:Pleasure lives in the space that I'm talking about of being able to slow down, to pause, to be in the present moment.
Speaker A:Again, going back to all the guests that I've interviewed so far, pleasure is being in the present moment.
Speaker A:Being able to experience the present moment with all of your senses.
Speaker A:I've been listening to People that are saying that we actually have more than five senses, we have like 30 something senses.
Speaker A:And so being able to experience the world around us in this one moment through all of our senses, like, that is pleasure.
Speaker A:And that is not in the hustle and bustle that we are sold in this, whatever society we are living in currently.
Speaker A:The, hopefully the end of the crazy patriarchal capitalist system.
Speaker A:And so this is why I am so passionate about weaving pleasure back into the world and into our own personal lives.
Speaker A:And why I look at the big picture.
Speaker A:I feel like in the activism world, a lot of people talk about in order to try not to get overwhelmed, to like pick one thing that you are passionate about and really dive deep into that and move in, move in line with that to create changes.
Speaker A:And I totally agree with that.
Speaker A:And my hang up on it is that once I start to pull one thread, I unravel the whole tapestry.
Speaker A:Because everything is interconnected, everything is woven together.
Speaker A:I can't focus on one thing without seeing all the other issues that are impacting that one thing.
Speaker A:And when it comes to working on pleasure with people, it's hard to say like, well, here's the things that you can do to work on pleasure when your job is like sucking the soul out of you.
Speaker A:And it's hard when a lot of those things are out of our control to some degree.
Speaker A:I mean, you, you can always quit your job.
Speaker A:You could always like try to set healthier boundaries.
Speaker A:And you know, the practicality of life right now is that a lot of people are in a position where, you know, they're just trying to live and fight for the things that they need in their day to day lives.
Speaker A:So being here, being in this space, is me working on all the threads at once.
Speaker A:Like, we have to know that everything is interconnected and that there are a lot of barriers that people experience that I feel like as a healer, I cannot just sit here and say, I'm only going to focus on this one thing and not try to change the systematic oppression that is happening to all of us in some shape or form right now.
Speaker A:Obviously there are more.
Speaker A:There are groups of people that are being oppressed far more than others at this point in time.
Speaker A:But we are all like the 99% right now.
Speaker A:There is the top 1% and we are the 99% that are fighting for our country, fighting for our world.
Speaker A:You know, I think I mentioned in a another episode that, you know, I'm speaking more on behalf of what's happening in the US But I also want to Acknowledge that, like, again, like everything is interconnected.
Speaker A:We are in a global fight for humanity.
Speaker A:We are, you know, fighting against just like horrific authoritarian regime in Israel that has connections all over the world.
Speaker A:All the countries are supporting the genocide that is happening.
Speaker A:And there's also genocide and famine in Sudan and the Congo.
Speaker A:And it's all interconnected as well to what is happening in Israel.
Speaker A:Like none of these things are happening in a vacuum.
Speaker A:And that is why my mission is so big to begin with, that I want us to start thinking about how do we change this on a macro level as well as a micro level.
Speaker A:And I know it can feel overwhelming, but that's why I like to break it into, let's talk, let's talk to the people that are in my circle.
Speaker A:Let's talk to the people that I already know, that are already weaving pleasure into the lives of others, that are helping people have a different embodiment to what pleasure means.
Speaker A:And already are holding the frequency and the vision for the future.
Speaker A:And then to bring it into what we're actually here to talk about, this one on one container, bringing it back into what you personally can control in your life and what it could mean for you to experience pleasure more.
Speaker A:Like, what could it, what could you do in your life if you had easier access to pleasure and if pleasure was something that was more intertwined and woven into your day to day life, like, what would that mean for you?
Speaker A:And how could you show up differently and how could you then start to be a beacon of light for everyone around you to start doing the same?
Speaker A:And collectively we can weave pleasure back into our world and make that a claim that we are not allowing anyone anymore to take that away from us, that we are stating this is a non negotiable anymore, that we deserve rest, we deserve love and softness and slowness and connection and creativity.
Speaker A:And to know that we are divine, that we have a direct connection to the divine and that our bodies are, are important.
Speaker A:They're not something that we can just like let go by the wayside.
Speaker A:Like, our bodies are one of the most, if not the most important relationship that we have in our life.
Speaker A:And yet most of us have zero relationship to our body.
Speaker A:We have a traumatic relationship to our bodies.
Speaker A:And it's because our systems do not support us taking care of our bodies.
Speaker A:We literally have a congress right now that is trying to take away health care for millions of people in our country, millions of people, and a lot of those people are children.
Speaker A:Like this.
Speaker A:This is not what we can stand for anymore.
Speaker A:And so I get that, you know, going through a one on one container on reclaiming sex and pleasure for yourself may feel frivolous or may feel like that this is not in line with what is happening in the world.
Speaker A:But I promise you that this is.
Speaker A:It is woven in with everything that is happening.
Speaker A:And the people that I have been working with lately.
Speaker A:I really feel that.
Speaker A:I feel like if we are able to step into a place of slowness and love and reverence and connection and humanity with ourselves and with each other, like that is the biggest resistance that we could have.
Speaker A:So we are in the final stage of this open cart.
Speaker A:You have the rest of today and tomorrow to make a decision on whether or not this is the right path, the right next step on your journey.
Speaker A:And if you want to be part of this collective that I am weaving of people that are rising in their pleasure and their power and in their softness and slowness and are using that as a way to resist what has been and to set the frequency and the vision for what we want the world to be.
Speaker A:So again, the options that you have are the co coaching, the core coaching container and the VIP coaching container.
Speaker A:The core coaching container is the six teaching sessions plus two integration sessions.
Speaker A:The VIP is the upgrade to having voice and text support from me in between all of your sessions, Monday through Friday, like 10am to like 5pm ish.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna be super stringent on timing, but just know that I'm still gonna have like give myself 24 hours to get back to you.
Speaker A:I will try to get back to you probably sooner than that, but 24 hours at least to get back to you.
Speaker A:There are bonuses with that to whatever type of payment plan, payment option you do.
Speaker A:There are bonuses for the core coaching.
Speaker A:Well, for all of them.
Speaker A:There are either an extra integration session or a ritual closing of the container session.
Speaker A:And that can be either individual or if I have enough people, we can try to do a group session with that.
Speaker A:And then for the VIP option or VIP package, you get the option of having another week of voice and tech support from me.
Speaker A:Still, if you pay in full, there is still the 15% off discount at checkout for the add ons.
Speaker A:So if you want to add on either ongoing support for a month at a time, that is two sessions a month of again, extra integration sessions, or the partner experience, which is a month of four sessions with your partner where we start to work on your relationship together.
Speaker A:If that is something that you want to add on, then those are still 15% off.
Speaker A:If you buy them at checkout with your coaching container otherwise you can purchase them later at full price.
Speaker A: and then a four month plan of: Speaker A:So again if you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
Speaker A:You can email me at Kayla Connected pleasurecoaching.com and I'm just again so grateful to anyone that is still listening and engaging and really thinking about if this is something that is right for you to so if you have been feeling the call I really I really am giving you the invitation to step forward and click the buttons, make the purchase and know that this is the right next step for you.
