“Even though we were talking about erotic intelligence, we were really talking about life force energy. How do we stay lit up in life in our 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s?” – Terri Cole

Intro

Have you heard the term erotic intelligence before? 

If you haven’t, does it sound like it’s all about sex?

Before attending a transformative retreat with Esther Perel and Paul Browde, that’s kind of what I thought. 

Talk about confronting! I had agreed to attend with a friend after her husband dropped out, without knowing the details, because it was in Costa Rica and who would say no to that?

I was surprised to learn erotic intelligence is actually about feeling alive and energized in your life, and I walked away with a renewed sense of vitality. 

In this episode, I’ll share what I learned during the retreat as well as the questions and exercises we walked through to help raise your awareness around erotic intelligence. By the end, I hope you’ll feel similarly lit up about life.
