🧠💥 Why Are So Many People Struggling to Have Sex?
It’s not just you—and it’s not just your schedule.
Chronic stress is silently hijacking our hormones, numbing our pleasure circuits, and making it harder to feel desire, arousal, and connection.
As a neuroscientist and sex therapist, I see this all the time:

✨ Pleasure requires safety. Stress blocks it.
✨ The good news? Healing is possible.
Let’s break the shame, talk about the science, and reclaim pleasure as your birthright. 🔥
