Don't hold anything too tightly. Just wish for it, want it, let it come from the intention

of real truth for you, and then let it go.

For me, our soul is like it's unbound, it's limitless, but we will use words to limit ourselves.

When people stop believing that somebody's got your back or Superman's coming, we turn

to ourselves, and that's where you become empowered.

Courageous participation attracts positive things.

I'm Gwyneth Paltrow, and this is the Goop podcast, where we bring together thought leaders,

scientists, healers, creatives, and seekers. I'm so grateful to be able to interview these

bright minds and share their incredible wisdom with you. And I especially love listening to

the conversations that are led by my brilliant co-host and friend, Erica Chitty.

Erica is the CEO and co-founder of Loom, and she's been a part of the Goop family since the

beginning days. We believe it's simply asking questions and listening has the power to change

the way we see the world. I'll let Erica fill you in on her guest today.

Amina is a sex doula and intimacy coach, and she's one of the experts in Goop's Netflix show,

Sex, Love, and Goop, which is all about sex and relationships. On the show, Amina works with a

couple who believe that they have a desire mismatch. They meet with Amina who introduces them to play.

As she so wisely states on the show, it's time to acknowledge that sex is how we play as adults.

In her Atlanta-based practice, Amina helps black women see themselves. Her work is rooted in

intentionality, existing consciously, and clearing sexual shame, guilt, and fear. Amina is an

incredible teacher, and it was a pleasure getting to talk to her about a rousal desire, shame,

pleasure, and making space for tenderness within our sexual experiences. If you want to dive

in deeper, the team of Goop has gathered some of their favorite tools for intimacy, sex, and connection.
