What starts as a discussion about intimacy and confidence quickly turns into something much bigger: 👉 learning how to actually like yourself. As Peggy opens up about body image, control, "good girl" conditioning, and the stories she's believed about herself for years, it becomes clear that these patterns don't just affect how she feels about her body. They affect how she shows up in her marriage, in intimacy, and in her relationship with herself. In this episode, you'll hear: Why self-acceptance matters so much in intimacy How negative self-talk quietly affects connection The hidden cost of "clamping down" your sexuality The difference between confidence and self-acceptance Why good sex requires trust, courage, honesty, and faith You'll also hear a personal story from Dan about a moment that completely changed the way he saw himself—and why learning to like yourself is some of the most important work a person can do. This episode isn't just about sex. It's about what happens when you stop fighting yourself and finally begin stepping more fully into who you already are.
