Summary
Do you ever feel a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, even when you've accomplished big things? Guilt, shame and hidden trauma can keep us from pleasure –whether it's luxuriating in our free time, enjoying every bite of a delicious meal with or prioritizing pleasure in our sex life.
On today's show, Dr. Valerie Rein helps us understand why we feel bad about experiencing pleasure, how society has conditioned us to not trust other women and even ourselves. Today we'll flip the question of How much can I bear? on its head into How good can it get?

| 0:00.0 | Extraordinary is a choice. Take that in, soak it up because the hustle, grind, repeat mantra |
| 0:08.8 | that society's been touting for decades, it had it all wrong. I'm Tanya Dalton. I'm a seven-figure |
| 0:15.0 | entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, mom, and rule breaker. I'm here to help you live to your fullest potential. That's what |
| 0:23.5 | this podcast is all about. The intentional advantage is doing life on our own terms, defying the |
| 0:29.9 | status quo and seeing ourselves outside of the tidy definitions society's made for us. |
| 0:35.7 | It's intentionally choosing to step back away from the chaotic |
| 0:39.2 | rush of your everydays and choosing. Choosing to see that it's your world and it's filled with |
| 0:46.2 | opportunities. Let's challenge the bedrock beliefs that so many have wholeheartedly trusted |
| 0:51.2 | because we were told they were truths. Let's have a healthy disregard |
| 0:54.6 | for the impossible. Let's choose to be extraordinary. Hello, hello everyone, and welcome to |
| 1:06.9 | the Intentional Advantage podcast. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton. This is episode 262. |

| 1:28.2 | fighting when we think about the patriarchy. I got some really interesting emails from a lot of you |
| 1:33.0 | about how that really sparked your thinking. And I wanted to continue that conversation, |
| 1:39.4 | not just for this episode, but in the next couple of episodes, because truly, if we're having a season where |
| 1:45.5 | we are talking about reclaiming your power to fully stepping into who you are authentically |
| 1:51.0 | and fully, we need to talk about the patriarchy and we need to talk about the other P word. |
| 1:57.8 | Pleasure. Mm, pleasure. What comes to mind when I say the word pleasure? Is it something that |
| 2:06.5 | you're like, oh, I don't know. It feels a little bit like taboo. Maybe it's not something I should be |
| 2:12.0 | entitled to. This is what I found in speaking with a lot of women. We feel like pleasure is something that's just out of reach for us. Or it's a dirty word. It's not something that we talk a lot about. And yet pleasure is such an important thing to experience. It's an important emotion because it means that we're fully present. |
