In this conversation, I’m joined by the author of Sovereign, hypnotist, and fellow ex-Mormon, Michaelann Gardner. Sovereign explores chronic pain, marriage, and faith in a way that connects to the experiences and stories of so many women—even those who don’t share the same religious background. It’s about sex, disordered eating, and divorce, but it’s also about finding your desire and allowing it to guide you into a promised land that may look different from what you imagined. Here’s what we cover:How the story of Adam and Eve became a framework to explore ideas about faith, bodies, and reconciliationHow the wisdom of desire can act as a powerful guide if we trust it to lead usThe reawakening of hunger and desire as a catalyst for telling the truth to ourselves and othersHow cultural conditioning impacts the way both men and women show up in marriage and sexThe disconnect between the church’s view of sex as “sacred” and the lived experience of sexHow the pain of disconnection and dishonesty manifests in the bodiesFind Michaelann here:https://michaelanngardner.com/https://www.instagram.com/michaelann.gardnerhttps://www.amazon.com/Sovereign-Michaelann-Gardner/dp/1961471175Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?
