My Internal Weather

🔥My HOT take on *x

Sober s*x isn’t awkward.

🙊Performing is awkward.
🙉Drunk s*x you barely remember is awkward.
🙈Sleeping with someone you don’t even like because you were “caught up” is awkward.

✨Sober intimacy is different. It’s slower. Honest. Real.

🦋And for many women, it’s the first time they experience s*x with:

🤍communication
🤍presence
🤍discernment
🤍actual safety inside their own body

In my episode with Ruby & Susan, we talk about the myths, the fear, and the freedom that comes when alcohol isn’t running the show in your relationships.

If you’re curious about sober dating + sober intimacy (or rebuilding connection in a long-term relationship after sobriety), you’ll love this conversation.

BIG NEWS! Voyage Dallas Magazine reached out and interviewed me about my journey, my dramatic career change, and my business – My Internal Weather. Read the article at: https://voyagedallas.com/interview/meet-lily-shanks-of-my-internal-weather

I'm grateful for the article and the opportunity to discuss the work I was meant to do: coaching others to help them create more internal peace, love, and fulfillment – the intangibles that you can’t earn, buy, or borrow.

Are the holidays feeling less than merry this year? Are you struggling with seasonal sadness, grief, regret, and/or stress? This time of year can be packed with a myriad of difficult emotions for so many. Even joyful moments can trigger complex emotional responses.

You aren’t alone.

To help, I’m opening up a group coaching call THIS SUNDAY to ANYONE who needs a little extra support and a safe place to process their struggles.

The open group session will be held this Sunday, December 14, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. CT via Zoom. There is no cost to attend.
