255. Speaking Your Desire with Bri Carey
Mon Feb 02 2026
Hello! Welcome back to Owning Your Sexual Self! This week I’m so excited to welcome Brianna Carey back to the show! Bri is a certified relationship and intimacy coach, a sexual health educator, and the co host of the Intimacy Evolution podcast, and she brings so much to conversations about desire and communication. She’s the person who first introduced me to speaking from desire, and every time I’m in her energy I walk away seeing relationships a little differently.
In this episode:
What it means to speak from desire instead of blame or pressureWhy direct requests can sometimes feel demandingHow desire based language creates more opennessThe difference between desire and expectationSimple everyday examples of speaking from desireWhy assumptions create disconnectionCommon blocks like fear of being too much or rejectedThe importance of practicing this skill over time instead of aiming for perfection Thank you so much for listening!
