<p>In this intimate episode of <em>Modern Couples</em>, I sit down with <strong>Darshana Avila</strong> — somatic s.ex and intimacy coach — to explore what happens when we see <strong>s.ex as activism</strong> and <strong>love a cultural revolution</strong>.</p><p>It only takes 3.5%, even of a minority group, to initiate change!</p><p>We speak about how the quality of our relationships mirrors the health of our society — and how embodied, s.exually fulfilled humans are the foundation of conscious leadership, community, and change.</p><p>Darshana and I dive into what it means to <strong>reclaim s.exuality in it wholness</strong>, not separate from our purpose, politics, or everyday choices. We explore:</p><ul><li><p>if our "leaders of the world" actually experienced and embodied wholesome se.xuality.</p></li><li><p>Cultural and linguistic conditioning to disconnect from our pleasure, erotic self and se.xual embodyment</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>How to bring more erotic intelligence into leadership, partnership, and self-expression.</p></li><li><p>And <strong>why being sexually fulfilled is not indulgence — it’s a form of social responsibility.</strong></p></li></ul><p>This episode is an invitation to remember that <strong>pleasure and purpose belong together</strong>, and that the next wave of cultural evolution might just begin in our bedrooms — and in the courage to be fully alive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for authentic connection. </p><p>Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.</p><p>Darshana’s work has been featured on Netflix’s Sex, Love &amp; goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts.</p><p><br /><strong>WEBSITE</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="http://darshanaavila.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">darshanaavila.com</a> </p><p><strong>SOCIAL HANDLES</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="http://instagram.com/darshana_avila" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">instagram.com/darshana_avila</a></p><p><a href="http://youtube.com/@darshana-avila" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">youtube.com/@darshana-avila</a></p><p><a href="http://linkedin.com/in/darshana-avila" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">linkedin.com/in/darshana-avila</a></p><p><a href="http://skool.com/galgasm" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">skool.com/galgasm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This episode is sponsored and hosted by Modern Couples Coaching with the intention to get inspired and have new conversations to rewire our brains for the 10x kind of love.</p><p><br /></p><p>[email protected]</p>
