  • The answer for intimacy deficit for Mothers

    I’m so grateful to Peta for her wisdom and multi-dimensional approach to this rarely discussed crucial issue for Mothers. She has a beautiful tone, lovely to listen to and I appreciate her taking the time to explain her own background and teachings. The podcast feels warm and inviting and I’m so looking forward to listening to it in between shuttling kids between activities. I need this return to my body and intimacy. Thank you Peta!
