Beyond the Bedroom: Reclaim Your Wellness Through Touch, Talk, and Trust
November 4, 2025
This event reminded me that healing often begins with conversations we’ve been taught to avoid.
Together with the brilliant Karimah Cornelius-Stith, a certified s*x therapist and educator, we explored how intimacy, communication, and vulnerability are deeply connected to wellness. It wasn’t just about relationships or s*x—it was about connection in all its forms.
We unpacked what it means to feel safe enough to be seen, to speak our truth, and to trust ourselves and our partners again. And as we talked, three frameworks came to life:
💠 The Anatomy of Alignment (The Three-Legged Stool): Our lives rest on three essential relationships—with ourselves, with our significant other, and with our work or society. When one leg weakens, everything wobbles.
💠 Touch–Talk–Trust Framework (by Karimah Cornelius-Stith): A beautiful model for restoring safety and closeness—reminding us that intimacy begins with presence, openness, and honest communication.
💠 The 3E Framework – Embrace, Evaluate, Energize: My approach to meaningful transformation—embrace where you are, evaluate what needs alignment, and energize the changes that lead you toward wholeness.
When we align these three areas, healing naturally follows. Because wellness isn’t just about what we eat or how we move—it’s about how we connect, communicate, and care.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us live — your openness and engagement made this conversation truly special. 💛

Let’s keep having these conversations—because when we touch, talk, and trust with intention, we don’t just heal our relationships… we heal ourselves.
