An Important Announcement for Gmail Users!

Greetings!

 

If you use Gmail, you've probably noticed some inbox changes. These changes may be great, but...
 
The new tabs might mean you never see my messages. That's right, The Shame Free Zone could be relegated to the land of impotence fighting drugs and "Bill Gates wants to give you a million dollars" chain letters. But you don't have to let that happen.
 
With the new rules, by default my emails will now be sent to the tab that says "promotions" instead of "primary." To make sure that you don't miss a single issue of The Wealthy Woodpecker, all you need to do is drag this email from the promotions tab to the primary tab. A little alert will pop up, and when it does, you click "yes."
 
It's that simple.
 
Thanks for your attention.
 
I love having you on board!  And I want you to be able to hear from me.

"Healing the Divine Feminine: Moving from Sexual Shame to Sexual Freedom"

Veronica Monet, ACS, CAM - Sexologist, Anger Management Specialist and Radio Host 

 

As women, sex can represent both pleasure and pain, positive and negative experiences, powerlessness and personal power. Sometimes this confusing cocktail of experiences and emotions can evoke a sense of embarrassment and even shame. We might find ourselves laughing at sexual humor when inside we are feeling a sense of revulsion. Or perhaps in our eagerness to experiment, we have encountered more frustration than satisfaction. And for many of us, our desire to please our partner can take us places which don't feel completely aligned with our preferences and desires.
 
How can we find our own truth when it comes to sex? And how can sex bring us more joy and enjoyment? If we choose to abstain from sexual interaction, can we still feel fully alive and engaged in the human journey? And if orgasms are eluding us, is it possible to find our way to fulfillment regardless of our partner's willingness or ability? Veronica offers very specific solutions to each of these concerns. Find out how easy it can be to embody your personal vision of the Divine Feminine.
 
During Veronica's talk we will:
* Identify the many ways The Whore/Madonna Dichotomy effects You and Your Life.
* Learn Three Ways to Create Safety and Empowerment.
* Discover Four Powerful Techniques for Supercharging Your Sexual Enjoyment.
 
Plus a FREE Raffle giveaway!

Readers Respond

 

Hi Veronica,


I was reading your newsletter about Hooligan Sparrow. The quote that jumped out at me was: "Beginning now, I am providing free sexual services for rural migrant workers. First of all, this is to prevent them from being caught and legally robbed by police. Secondly, this is to serve the sexual needs of the grassroots and help relieve social pressure"
 
When I read that line, I had an unexpected response - My heart opened up to her. I thought "finally a feminist who isn't a man-hater or thinks male sexuality is at odds with the feminine spirit". 

 

That she understood that as simple as the needs of these migrant workers are, they're still needs and she chose to honor them is why I feel an appreciation for her. She understood them, their plight (financial and social), how the powerful urges surge through them and can alter all sorts of relationships. How many times have we heard the following: All men want to do is eat, work, "copulate" and sleep. And how many times has that truth been derided as lowbrow, unsophisticated or unenlightened? Hooligan Sparrow spits in the face of that derision as do I.

 

The part that touches me is her sensitivity to the needs of the men. I'm also on board with stopping sexual abuse too so she gets points for that as well.

 

Just another example of how your newsletter has unexpected results. 

 

Sincerely,

Las Vegas HotBodied Badboy

  

 

Note To My Amazing Readers and Clients:

If you wish to share your perspectives and success stories, you can do so anonymously!  Have you realized inspiring progress in your relationship? Are you feeling less burdened by shame? Please consider sharing with others so they might benefit too. Email me with your story. Your privacy is assured.

 

As an Empathy Expert, I teach couples who don't communicate much or argue too much, to connect with understanding, compassion and erotic passion. Over time, most couples stop connecting at the heart level and this can make sex mediocre at best as well as contribute to frequent friction and feelings of irritation or disappointment. I reconnect couples at the heart level utilizing deep empathic and intuitive skills as well as powerful role plays and communication techniques. Most couples experience dramatic positive changes subsequent to their first hour long session in The Shame Free Zone.
