In Harriet Lerner’s insightful book, The Dance of Anger, she explores how women often face an early-life choice: to be "the nice girl" or "the bitch." It’s a defining decision, neither of which leads to true happiness.

Choosing the “nice girl” role usually means stuffing down your anger, sacrificing yourself, and eventually feeling depressed and unfulfilled. 😔

But stepping into the “bitch” role? That can leave you misunderstood, isolated, and still miserable. It’s a lose-lose situation.

And then there’s Kali—the goddess of fierce truth and destruction. 🕉️🔥

Some women embrace her power, cutting through the nonsense of life and relationships, but not always in the most constructive ways.

❌ Withholding s*x?
🔄 Revisiting incidents from five years ago?
🤐 Using passive aggression as a weapon?
Yep, I’ve been there too.

It might feel satisfying and powerful in the moment, but it erodes intimacy and trust over time.

The truth is, anger isn’t the problem. It’s how we use it. When anger becomes destructive, no one wins—not you, not your partner, and certainly not your relationship.

How do you navigate anger in your relationship? Let me know in the comments; I’d love to hear your story!

If you think you’re not angry, but you know you’re depressed, I’ve got news for you.

You’re angry 😤

So listen up!

Anger is here to tell us something essential about our lives and what’s unacceptable. When it rises (or tears come), it’s not about acting out but about listening.

Anger is part of our survival instinct, a “fight” response to perceived threats. It’s deeply connected to our need to feel safe and respected.

So next time you feel anger, pause and ask: What is it that’s threatening me? Discover that, and you unlock a powerful key to working with your anger in a healthy, constructive way. 🔑

S*xual empowerment is about freedom, choice, and rediscovering the truth of who we are.

When we shed shame, fear, and guilt, we unlock the power of pleasure and creativity - and it shifts everything…

💞 How we connect
👄 How we communicate
💃 How we show up in our lives

In my conversation with Diamond Michael Scott on a special Chocolate Taoist edition of the "Great Books, Great Voices" podcast, we ignited an embodied conversation about what it means to live fully empowered.

It’s a cosmic joke that no one’s teaching, and most men aren’t eager to learn.

True connection—real intimacy—requires just a little extra.

When men slow down, the entire dynamic shifts. It’s not just about the physical; it’s about being fully present in the moment and creating space for deeper intimacy and connection.

Let this be a reminder to pause, breathe, and truly see your partner.

Slowing down might just be the most extraordinary gift you can give to your relationship. 💫

As we step into 2025, let’s bring intention and mindfulness into our relationships. ✨

Men, just like on the dancefloor, the same three rules apply:
1️⃣ Keep it interesting.
2️⃣ Keep her safe.
3️⃣ Make her look good.

These three things create trust, excitement, and a deeper connection in your partnership.

When you move through life with this mindset, you don’t just meet her needs, you elevate the relationship. 💫

At 67, I met the love of my life. Now, at 76, I’m a newlywed.

Here’s the truth: happiness is an inside job. 💫 I couldn’t have found him without first becoming the love of my life.

It took working through my baggage, embracing my imperfections, and setting inner boundaries to meet someone who truly MET me.

My book, S*x & Happiness: It Gets Better with Age, shares the seven laws for staying juicy. It starts with self-love, self-talk, and letting go of what doesn’t serve you.

So I say, don’t give up on love. It’s never too late, and it only gets better with age. 💖

It’s normal to feel afraid of letting your emotions come up. We’re often taught to suppress the messages our body is sending, even though that’s far from natural for us as humans. That’s why, during any emotional release practice, it’s important to be your own witness.

Take a small step back from yourself and simply observe. Notice your body doing the practice, whether you’re lying on the floor and making sounds or standing up, pumping your arms. Observe any feelings that arise—fear, anger, reluctance—without judgment. Just breathe and watch yourself release. 🌬️

If you’re someone who carries a lot of anger and finds it overwhelming, take heart. It may feel like there’s no end to it, but there is. Each release brings you closer to peace, closer to clarity, and closer to yourself. ✨

Let this be a reminder that it’s okay to feel and let go.

Please share below if you’ve noticed a shift in yourself during this process, and follow me as we have much more to discuss.

I’ve seen the tension in this gender war, and here’s the truth: there are so many good men out there. They’re right next to you—they’re everywhere!

But if you cut his balls off the second you meet him, he doesn’t stand a chance. That’s how you miss the magic.

It’s time to put down the swords and shields and really see each other. 💫

For years, I dreamed of teaching others how to share the transformative programs I developed—and finally, I leaped.

What started as a two-year program has now evolved into a year-long certification, meeting every other week. It’s been incredible to see the program grow and the impact it’s having! 💫

I’m proud to co-lead this certification alongside Briana Cribeyer, one of my exceptional graduates. Together, we guide a powerful and juicy cohort through the principles of S*x and Happiness Coaching and Facilitation.

Several of our graduates are now creating their own curricula, teaching, and coaching professionally, focusing on where s*x and happiness intersect.

This means that the work I’ve dedicated my life to—helping people deepen intimacy and embrace pleasure—can now reach audiences far beyond what I could accomplish on my own. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. 🌟

For men to connect deeply with the women in their lives, they must see the goddess within her and behave as if she’s present (because she is). ✨

Too often, men respond with dismissal—“I’m good.” But the truth is, if you let ego lead and brush this off, you’ll miss the magic entirely.

What does honoring the goddess look like to you?

12/10/2024

When it comes to connecting intimately, I encourage having The Safer S*x Conversation. It’s a chance to align boundaries, desires, and expectations. In ISTA, we use the mnemonic RBDSMT as a guide:

💬 R—Relationship Status: Are you in a relationship? What are your agreements?
💬 B—Boundaries: What’s off-limits? What’s open for exploration?
💬 D—Desires: What do you want to experience in this connection?
💬 S—S*xual History: When were you last tested? Any recent risky behaviors?
💬 M—Meaning: What would s*x mean to you? Is this casual or something more?
💬 T—Trauma: Are there past experiences that this might stir up for you?

This isn’t about rushing or checking boxes. It’s about creating a foundation of honesty and trust—whether it’s for one night or a lifelong partnership. Open, intentional conversations save us from confusion, hurt, and drama down the road. 🌟

So, before jumping in, take the time to talk, listen, and truly connect.

Curious about how to bring this into your life? My S*x and Happiness books are filled with practical insights for authentic relating. Grab a copy today at https://bit.ly/lauriehandlers-books!
