Ep 383 Pleasure is Not Numbing — A Magic House Retreat Story with Dina Perrine

This week, Dina Perrine joins me to share what happened when she attended the first-ever Magic House Retreat in Lisbon, Portugal.

Her experience was profound — and honestly, I think you'll want to hear every word of it.

Dina came home with something she didn't expect: a completely new relationship with pleasure. She learned that pleasure is nourishing, that numbing is not the same thing, and that activating her senses is the pathway to feeling genuinely good in her body. She also healed her plantar fasciitis. (Yes, really.)

What she says about pleasure versus numbing will shift how you think about why you reach for alcohol — and what you actually need instead.

If you've been curious about the Magic House, this episode is your inside look.
