| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy. I'm Amy McPhee, All the Best. Have you ever thought about sexual self-confidence? |
| 0:09.4 | What would sexual self-confidence look like for you? What would it feel like? And how would you go about becoming more sexually self-confident? |
| 0:18.7 | Author and somatic wellness coach Pamela Madsen says that developing sexual self-confidence |
