I hope this message finds you well, and certainly you’re going to feel even better after checking out the resource I’m about to share with you.
It’s a fine day indeed, as pleasure is coming onto the stage, into the spotlight and is being seen and heard in the media.
What am I talking about? The TEDx talk of my beloved friend and teacher, Mama Gena, that has just hit the internet after a no-doubt knock-your-socks-off powerful TEDx Women event in SF only days ago.
This is hot off the press and I wanted you to have it to deepen your understanding of pleasure, from one of my favorite sources of inspiration on the planet.
You want to know where I turn to on a blue day when I’m struggling to find it in me to “practice what I preach,” the well I turn to for refreshment?
This is it.
Come meet Mama Gena, and the teachings she distills, the truth about pleasure, and why it’s so important that we know what that truth is.
The TEDx talk….
I’m a proud owner of a well dog-eared copy of her book, “Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts”….
Furthermore, I’m also a proud graduate of her actual school by the same name, “Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts“–an education I can’t recommend highly enough….
Plus, I’m the proud recipient of the school’s 2011 “Pleasure Revolutionary of the Year” award, for recognition for my contribution to spreading the message of the importance to a woman’s health and happiness to attend to her pleasure and her desires.
So that’s why I’m sharing this video with you, so that you can get a big, delicious, gulp of invigorating, inspiring energy, and be reminded, why in fact your pleasure is so very sacred after all…
Enjoy.
Oooh, and do leave me a comment with your thoughts on this.
The more we dialogue about the concepts, the more easily engrained in our lives them become.
May we all be revolutionary together.
With love,
Jena

i am in a funny spot. Probably alot of women 40 to 60 are in the same place. I see myself putting up a barrier watching Mama Gena thinking that is so unprofessional or that’s not the way to deliver a lecture, what is she thinking! Then recognizing that my thoughts are sooooo programmed into me by society, tradition, what is considered proper. And then opening my mind to accept what she is saying so authentically and realizing that I need to grow and stop relying on those “old” programmed responses to situations and build some new pathways in my brain which will allow me to evolve into a higher version of myself. When we were children we had no inhibitions, we were authentic. It was years of being told “how” we should act that made us self conscious, oppressed and lost. For women more than anyone. We need to find our “true”self again. remember how there was so much more joy about the littlest things when we were young. We let things touch our souls without fear. That’s what nourished us. Not the jumbo bag of chips or the margaritas. Unfortunately letting things touch our souls without fear can have some consequences but that is when our “sisters” should be there to support us and help us grow beyond the situation which actually elevates us yet again. We can not do this in solitude, we need each other, it makes all the difference. Hurray for Mama Gena for her fearless abandon in her mission to free us all to be our authentic self.

I love Mama Gena and pleasure has radically changed my life. The statistics she shared are shocking and worse still is that so many women are scared of pleasure, self care and self love, trapped in fear and self loathing. We need to cut the chains and enter into love. As Mama express together as one sisterhood, paving the way for great healing and change. Much LOVE Jena! Thank you for sharing and all the work you do.

Heaven: to be carried onto a Ted x stage on the shoulders of men to speak to a group of women about pleasure.
Viva la pleasure revolution!
