More from Sensual Self with Ev'Yan Whitney
Ev'Yan's back with some big updates and a really exciting opportunity to be with your sensual self in real time.
What does it mean to heal yourself? In this one, Ev’Yan speaks with author Alex Elle about the many layers, pains, and joys of being on a self-healing journey, in celebration of Alex’s new and bestselling book, How We Heal. Alex speaks about what it means to center joy and pleasure within our healing journeys, how to feel the frustration and anger that comes with being the first in our lineage to embark upon this work, and so much about the challenges of healing ourselves while being in relationships with others.
A trip down a sensual memory lane. In this one, Ev'Yan talks about some of their favorite moments of sensuality in 2022—from things that gave them gender euphoria to experiences that inspired full-body pleasure. Also, a little birthday celebration for something special.
Are you trying to be someone you're sexually not? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with asexual storyteller and author of 'Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture' Sherronda J Brown about the ways compulsory sexuality has shaped and harmed our sexualities. Sherronda talks about how compulsory sexuality shows up in our world, its links to systemic oppression (like ableism, racism, and fatphobia), and how we can see asexuality as a queer identity to radically reject it. Ev'Yan also shares a practice to help you uncover your sexual authenticity outside of stories of "should".
Are you in a consensual relationship with your body? In this one, Ev'Yan speaks with Jonathan Mead, a body relationship and movement coach (and also Ev'Yan's partner) about what it means to be in a trusting, respectful relationship with your body. They discuss how fitness culture has helped create toxicity between ourselves and our body's messages, what it looks like to be kind to our nervous systems, and how we can start mending a relationship with our bodies that can help us access more ease, safety, and softness within ourselves.
