Summary

We talk about the idea of pleasure a lot, but usually we are focused on other things or we limit ourselves. Pleasure may not feel necessary. It may feel selfish. But this week on the show, we are going to go all in. We are going to do the things that make us feel good. We are going to indulge and put the idea of overdoing it aside. And we aren’t going to feel guilty about it! Tune in to begin a week of pleasure.

1:02.4	It's like middle end. We are definitely past the peak of summer. And I was spending some time today
