Manifest, Masturbate & Money w/ Jennifer Love | Szn. 5 Ep. 8
This conversation with Jennifer Love explores a provocative question: What if feeling turned on wasn’t separate from success--but an important part of it?Dr. Jenn and Jennifer dive into the intersection of erotic energy, power, and wealth, and how embodiment can radically shift the way women lead, earn, and take up space. Jennifer speaks candidly about her self-pleasure practice and how intentional connection with her body became a source of confidence, clarity, and authority in both her business and personal life.Together, they unpack why pleasure still feels taboo in conversations about ambition, what happens when women stop divorcing desire from drive, and how reclaiming aliveness can expand capacity for visibility, impact, and income.Bold, thoughtful, and unapologetically edgy, this episode is for women ready to challenge inherited narratives about success and step into a more embodied, powerful way of leading.
