Pleasure is Essential to Your Business!
Podcast #11 is UP. This episode is essential for all the entrepreneurs because if you don't know how to receive pleasure, you will be on the struggle bus to succeed and hold onto your wealth. Take a listen and I want to hear your takeaways!
In this episode, you learn that being able to receive pleasure is essential to accept and sustain wealth. Carmen takes female entrepreneurs behind the scenes of a pivotal embodied experience that reshaped how she understands desire, pleasure and receiving. This conversation is an invitation for women who are successful on paper—but craving more aliveness, ease, and sustainability—to explore what it really takes to move from survival mode into CREATRIX mode.
Carmen shares a powerful personal story from a workshop where she made a bold request. The transformation wasn’t just in the asking—it was in her ability to stay present and receive what she had asked for.
This moment revealed something many high-achieving women struggle with: receiving requires capacity. It’s not enough to want more pleasure, more money or more support. Your nervous system has to be able to hold it. Carmen reflects on how often women are conditioned to tolerate what’s offered rather than name what they truly desire, especially when it comes to touch, intimacy, love and even success.
From an early age, all women experience touch and expectations before they have the language or power to consent. That conditioning carries into adulthood, showing up as people-pleasing, over-giving and difficulty expressing needs. Carmen explains how trauma—big or small—lives in the body, and how intentional somatic experiences around consent, boundaries and choice can help undo these patterns.
She also challenges a deeply ingrained belief many women carry: that a gift only counts if you didn’t ask for it. Drawing from her past marriage, Carmen unpacks how unspoken expectations and “mind-reading” fantasies sabotage connection. A gift that isn’t wanted or received as such isn’t a gift—it’s pressure. Whether in relationships or business, clarity around desire changes everything.
For female entrepreneurs, this work matters far beyond the bedroom. Carmen draws a direct line between embodiment and leadership, pleasure and profit. Just because you can build something doesn’t mean it’s what you want. Just because you’re capable of hustling doesn’t mean it’s sustainable. Desire evolves, and learning to listen to it—without judgment—is part of creating long-term abundance.
Carmen shares how her own journey through kink, open relationships,and sexual exploration expanded her understanding of herself beyond societal conditioning. As safety and self-trust grew, so did her capacity for pleasure, authenticity and unapologetic desire. The same is possible in business, creativity and life.
This episode is a reminder that pleasure is not frivolous—it’s foundational. Without it, we block what we say we want. With it, we build the capacity to receive, sustain and enjoy the lives we’re creating.
