My 2-month Italian sabbatical - stepping into the identity of being a life, sex, love, intimacy coach and an entrepreneur.

I came back from Italy one week ago. I was there for 8 weeks. I spent seven weeks exploring Rome, Matera, and the Puglia region on my own. Then I met my mom in Florence, and we visited parts of Tuscany and Venice together.




I met some great people, had fantastic food, and had the opportunity to read, study, learn, coach, and be coached. I also took the time to dream, plan, and think about how I wanted to serve people, create impact, and truly be a product of my product.   


I treated this time as a 2-month sabbatical to get my head in the game and step into the identity of being a life, sex, love, intimacy coach and an entrepreneur. 


The combo of taking the time to dream, plan, coach, and learn while exploring and enjoying Italy helped things click for me in a new way. 


I once read that when you experience novelty and pair that with strong emotions, you create new neural pathways that can accelerate the rewiring of your brain to create new beliefs. 


I feel like this happened to me.  I created a stronger belief in myself, the tools I have learned, and what I am trying to achieve.


Tools Grounded in  Neuroscience & Sexual Wellness 


I had the time and space to connect the dots between what I have been learning as a life coach and sex, love, and intimacy coach, with personal experiences and with books I read on the trip. I read books about creativity, neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), manifesting based on neuroscience, pleasure, and sexual wellness. 


It clicked for me that the tools and knowledge I have learned over the past 3+ years are all grounded in science and research and that I KNOW these tools and CAN SHARE them with others to help them. 


Unshakeable Beliefs 


In my last Amazing Women post, I talked about the qualities of persistence and unshakable belief and the women from my series who embody these qualities.




This is a tremendous shift in my thinking, and it changes everything. 


The best coaches have a strong belief in themselves, their tools, and their clients. 


Through this work and through using the tools I have learned, I will also build that strong self-belief.  I know this now, without a doubt.  



So let's go!!



 I will share more in my next blog post about the direction of my work in 2025  and the different ways I can support you on your journey to exploring and pursuing your dreams while also tapping into your turn-on and sexual potential to live the life you want and have the sex you want. 




Happy Holidays, everyone, and I'm looking forward to connecting soon!
