You've been so busy achieving that you forgot how to feel — and sis, that's not success, that's survival. In this episode, my guest expert Maisha Khalfani, Sensual Somatic Coach, and I are pulling back the curtain on why women keep sacrificing their pleasure to perform, to produce, and to keep everybody else comfortable. We talk about the real signs your body has been screaming at you that you've been too disconnected to hear. This is a wake-up call. It's time to stop outsourcing your joy and get back in your damn body!

Maisha Kalfani's Somatic Coaching

00:01:15
Speaker
Welcome to our live Freedom Powered Up. I am so, so happy and grateful to be here with my colleague and my friend, Maisha. And we're going to dive into a super juicy topic. And this came up as she and I were just kind of chit-chatting and just talking about...
00:01:34
Speaker
um things, life, reality, right? And in this 3D. And I was like, you know what? This is so common and this is so real and this is so juicy.
00:01:49

00:02:12
Speaker
for success, for prosperity, for achievement, right? And i know a lot of that has been some conditioning, has been what we felt like we had to do um in order to get where we are. And now we're like,
00:02:28
Speaker
Wait a minute. So I can I can just keep going. But here is our guest and our expert.

Sensual Alchemy Explained

00:02:38
Speaker
So, Myisha, I would love if you would introduce yourself to the good people.
00:02:45
Speaker
Good morning. Well, morning for me anyway, on the East Coast. My name is Maisha Kalfani. I am somatic coach, owner of Central Energy Alchemy, where I work with Black women entrepreneurs to get into their bodies so that they can increase their impact on their communities, build greater wealth, and enjoy the pleasure and love they deserve.
00:03:08
Speaker
Let's talk about Central Alchemy. Yes. Let's just go in. Yes. What is sensual alchemy? Yes.
00:03:19
Speaker
Mm-hmm. it's So sensual, people think oftentimes only like sexual and sensual, the root of that is your senses, your body.
00:03:29
Speaker
So to be sensual is to be in your body, to think of, not think about it but to feel into what you're touching, you're tasting, you're smelling, you're seeing, you're hearing, to allow your body to be the antenna that guides you. It's feeling into your intuition Your energy is your power and alchemy is your ability to shift your energy and power at any time to create whatever it is that you desire.

Impact of Societal Conditioning on Sensuality

00:03:59
Speaker
I, ah as you know, I'm so aligned and so in tune, right? And i am wanting to talk specifically about but also but also the sexual part as well.
00:04:19
Speaker
You know, like not diving deep, but just the... o Because as you and I were talking, we were talking about how so much of that part of ourselves was we and was suppressed.
00:04:38
Speaker
right um And a large part of us, I think in the collective, we were okay with that because it's like, we're We're wanting the success. we're We're going for the success. We're doing, we're you know, we've we've got to make the mark, right? We've got to, and it it manifests itself in so went so many ways, right?
00:05:01
Speaker
Yes. i I feel like I connect with it ah in a way when i was in the military and as a woman feeling like the military uniform is so very masculine.
00:05:17
Speaker
the the Even the hat is, and even though there was some tailoring, right, to the to the women part or women bodies, it still was just very, very masculine energy. And so having to
00:05:36
Speaker
really be in that space in order to achieve and leaving behind some of the sensuality as we typically, I guess, think of it, right? um Which maybe they're not even as divorced as some of us would think, right? Like being able to tap into the the senses as a part of the knowing and the intuition and the being and the moving and the acting. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:13
Speaker
can also reactivate the sensual, sexual part of so power. I feel like that's what i'm feeling from you. Yeah, no, absolutely. and And the reason why these conversations have been so fun between you and I is because of the work that you do in terms of, for I always love the red whenever I see it behind you. It reminds me of the root chakra and and um feeling safe, right?
00:06:38
Speaker
because that's that's at that's at the root of it all. And we both work with women and far too often women don't feel safe to express any of that religion, society, culture, whatever the reasons are.
00:06:55
Speaker
And we're taught to be disconnected. So neck up always, right? The logic always, education, which is a beautiful thing, always staying up here.
00:07:06
Speaker
And when we do that, we actually deaden so much of the power that we have that exists in that root and that sacral, in that that that sexual energy, that energy of creation. And so we abandon all of that in order to fit into society, in order to excel at our jobs, um,
00:07:34
Speaker
Because only the masculine traits are are acceptable and the feminine traits are not. And by the way, this goes for men too, right? Only the masculine traits are acceptable. The feminine traits, the softer intuition and things like that are not. I love that you said that.
00:07:49
Speaker
Yeah. yeah because Yeah. You know, it goes for both. Right. And so in doing so. That does actually deaden our ability to feel when it comes to our sex lives. wherere we're We have a difficult time turning it off.
00:08:06
Speaker
right I have had a lot of women say, and you may have heard this too, like their brains are still going even while they're being intimate. Like they're thinking of all things to do. You can't be present. Me, you're festival. That has happened to me. and In fact, I went through a period where it was like, I went through a period of my experience where like that was the way it was. yeah Yeah. Until I healed, you know, had to have a healing out of that. But I'm like, yes, I fully understand what you're saying. And so then you have this orgasm gap, which isn't just about the fact that
00:08:44
Speaker
You know, men or others don't know women's bodies. It's also women don't know their own bodies. wow It's also, we're not even present at the time. And those two, you know, thinking about launching the to-do list and orgasm really don't match. Right.
00:09:02
Speaker
what Right. why yeah Unless they do. Right. And that's the work, right? Okay. And so it's really important for us to slow down and be in our bodies in order to feel all of that, you know, that creates a different kind of woman.

Reconciling True Self and Societal Expectations

00:09:20
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Well, as you said, right. Or like, however you're flowing, right. It's doing access. Uh, a Those parts of yourself. Yes.
00:09:35
Speaker
I would like to go into where.
00:09:42
Speaker
So there's prevention, right? But then there's so much where. So many of us are in the place where now we're wanting to get back. Right. Because we went so far.
00:09:57
Speaker
Right. We've we've compartmentalized so much yeah um in order to. be the consummate, whatever it is, parent to be successful to, you know, whatever it is, the job, the career, the the business to, um to make a name for ourselves. That was a big thing for me to make a name for myself to create the, um,
00:10:23
Speaker
the reputation and particularly my military career, that was, that was big, right. To, to make the name and make the reputation so that you're known for. Right. And so, however, it is that we have pushed ourselves and we have compartmentalized. And so we got there and then it's like, Oh, there's that whole piece of me that I left behind and,
00:10:49
Speaker
And that that gap of like, how do I get back there? you know And I feel, I want to say this very specifically, and particularly for women and those who are carrying you know very strong, dominant feminine energy,
00:11:08
Speaker
that it it manifests itself in, oh, now I want to get back into dating. Now I want to get back into, ah you know, relationships or now I want to, want to spice my marriage up. but Like, it's like, now I want to get back to, and that feels like a, like a chasm.
00:11:25
Speaker
yeah It's like like this this whole version of the self has been left behind. And for some women, they didn't they've never even got to know that version to begin with. Because there's so much shame around our bodies and our desires to even have desires. Right.
00:11:48
Speaker
To feeding. Yes. all Right? do You know, to want. there's But it's the wanting that drives us, isn't it? Like that's there's something so juicy about wanting something.
00:12:00
Speaker
You know, not pining away for, but just the want of it, right? And because that part of us has been subdued, when we start to get older,
00:12:13
Speaker
And as the hormones shift, our brain is fully developed. Say that. And life experience and wisdom come into play. And now we start saying, wait a second.
00:12:29
Speaker
Um... There's more. i I know there's more. I don't even know what it looks like. And they're like these stages of grief that some of us go through. Like there's this anger.
00:12:42
Speaker
ah For some women, there is truth and turning to the person that they've been coupled with and saying,
00:12:51
Speaker
How did I get here? What was happening at that time? And this actually doesn't align. There's there. I got to pause there for second.
00:13:03
Speaker
Because that's a big one. It is. It's a big one. Lots of people don't realize divorces are initiated by women. right and i don't and it's and i don't And I don't think it's because, you know and I'm going to speak heteronormative just because that's the life I live. I don't think it's necessarily because you know men are bad guys or don't know things or whatever. I just think that for a lot of us when we're young, we're not paying attention to what we want. We're paying attention to what everyone else wants for us and what seems right.
00:13:35
Speaker
You've been dating for so long. It seems like the natural next step. He has XYZ trajectory. That looks like a good opportunity for you. And as we grow into ourselves, realizing that the soul, the spirit, the heart,
00:13:53
Speaker
doesn't actually match on

Defining True Prosperity

00:13:55
Speaker
paper. It might've looked good, but now we're not interested in paper. We, we want depth, that yearning, the desire, the wanting. So I think for some women, there's a truth in, in understanding and realizing that and wanting to find those pieces that were never even allowed to to shine. And that it's this is this is how we do sacrifice our pleasure for prosperity because there are six-figure earners. We've we've got ah bachelor's and master's and PhDs, and we've done all the things. We have the wealth. But prosperity isn't just about your money. It's about your desire, your wanting, your joy, your body, your orgasm. right And now we're realizing that all of that we actually want before we decide to leave this earth.
00:14:50
Speaker
Yes. and there You saw that? and say it just see For those who may be listening on audio later on, um the comment said, I got a sexual freedom after divorce. It was amazing. And I don't know about you, Maisha, but I have had clients who have expressed that.
00:15:10
Speaker
Absolutely. Like several times. Yeah, because when you're younger and the shame exists and all that, like this is this is the level that you've met at. And that's the level that you stay at. And then you start to get older. And a lot of men are just, they're kind of okay. Like, you know, they like that stability, the things, the way they are. That's just, that's part of one of the traits they have. Nothing good or bad about it. It's just what it is. And we want to shift.
00:15:37
Speaker
And sometimes it doesn't match. Yeah. It just doesn't match, you know? and and and so then a lot of women finally want to explore in different ways. Yes. And um I find that to keep it neutral. Yeah. And I'm finding that with some men as well. And i really, i'm I'm just feeling like we get to pause and just stay here for a moment because I just really feel like there are some people out there who really get to hear.
00:16:14
Speaker
It's okay. It's okay that to understand and to realize that your ah growth and your expansion and your maturing into this level of who you are, that there may be a mismatch.

Metaphors for Personal Growth

00:16:34
Speaker
And that doesn't mean that you are wrong or you're bad or you're sinful or you're, you know, not enough or you're right. Or you're, what's the word I want to say? Like you did this to the partner, you know, it's like, no, this,
00:16:52
Speaker
this happens to be your natural progression at this time. And you know the way that I say it is like all nature grows, all nature grows and expands, right? This plant behind me, oh, it can't be seen, it's in the corner, but I just realized that it now needs to be repotted. And if it stays in the pot that it's in right now, it will rot yeah and die.
00:17:17
Speaker
Yeah. And someone needs to hear that. If it's saying that it's in right now, that's not big enough to hold its expansion. Come on.
00:17:33
Speaker
It will rot and die. Now, let if I'm talking to you, it may not be physical, but it will be spiritual. It will be emotional. It will be energetic and will probably manifest in your physical body. That part. It's not just that it's okay. No, it's actually spiritual, emotional, energetic necessity. Yes.
00:18:02
Speaker
Now for some people, that pot will expand with them.
00:18:08
Speaker
That's cool. And that's the hope that's the hope. That's the joy. Yeah, yeah. That's that's cool. But if it's not, my love, yeah
00:18:18
Speaker
the decision, it's time to be repotted. Okay, so there's something else I want to talk about, but but I really want to kind of dive a little bit into the suppression of the want.
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah. um However, i want to I want to showcase this question right here. Okay, so this comment said, yep, and I did rot.
00:18:40
Speaker
No, no.
00:18:43
Speaker
But we're repotting. So we're all good. yeah It's the recognition. It's the awareness. And then it's the allowance of the repotting.

Supporting Women Post-Childbirth

00:18:51
Speaker
I want to show this question, Maisha, and I'd love for you to kind of weigh in. What about women after having a baby? I think this is a big one, too.
00:18:59
Speaker
it It is. i am I'll never forget. I did a post. I did it on LinkedIn several years ago um and it stuck with me. Because of the response from the men, ah and because a lot of this really the way we're taught to be as women doesn't benefit them either. Well, who no, no, no. We knew we were about to gloss over that.
00:19:21
Speaker
Say that again, please. the way we're taught to be as women does not benefit men. They benefit. When we show up as our fullest selves, they benefit from our wants and desires, from our pleasure. It it assists them. And so I was talking about after women give birth.
00:19:42
Speaker
And there is such a lack of education around the way our bodies change, the way our hormones change, the way we think changes. Literally, there are, um the scientists out there can chime in, but there are, the our our brains change to the point where we can no longer just sleep through the night because there's a baby and we need to wake up and respond to the crying, right? And that carries with us like even in our thirties or forties, like it's just that those days are done, right? There's a way in which our bodies need to respond to the wants and needs of this infant.
00:20:24
Speaker
And because neither understand that, for many men, it looks like being left behind. It looks like they're no longer loved.
00:20:34
Speaker
it It looks like the woman being, not wanting to be touched, not because she doesn't love anything, the person she's with, but she's just, the baby is kind of on her and she needs a moment. She needs time to feel like a woman because that part of hers is kind of lost. And when there's none of that conversation that happens,
00:20:57
Speaker
And I think if a lot of couples look back to where the breakdown began, it's not the child's fault, but it's the lack of understanding of what creating a child in this nuclear society that we have does to two people. I say nuclear society because we're taught that it's just supposed to be those two kind of doing it all on their own.
00:21:18
Speaker
Oh, no. Oh, hold on. its Say that. Yeah, the two people by themselves, that that breeds destruction. She's exhausted whether she's at home or working. Partner's exhausted. They are working or doing whatever, household chores and who does what. When you have grandmas and grandmas grandpas, aunties and cousins and other people around you, the child belongs to the village. Mm-hmm.
00:21:45
Speaker
And so you don't have the stress that we have, especially in the United States of being the mother who does it all. Right. So now we're exhausted. We're annoyed. We don't want you to touch us. We don't want sex.
00:21:57
Speaker
Feels like another chore, something else that we have to do. And that's not, and there's, we still love. It's not that there's no love. It's just we're tired. He doesn't understand.
00:22:09
Speaker
No one explains to him. We don't have the words to say it. Right. and And we don't want to hurt feelings and egos. And so, so much of this leads into what can happen to us just to that, to that point after baby. So i encourage people to really have conversations with the couples and their families. Look,
00:22:29
Speaker
This is what may happen after this child comes in and know that I'm here. You all need time. You need time alone. You need time as a couple. Let's take baby. Let's do things. Don't let them know we got it. We got it. Sure you do.
00:22:42
Speaker
But let us, let us just assist you. Right. And people have to be willing to be assisted in that way. And I think couples will stay together more. You have to be willing to add to to ah ask and accept the help. Ladies, ladies,
00:22:55
Speaker
Because we will say, no, I got it as though if we can't do it all on our own, there's something wrong with us. that is We've always been a village people. Humanity is a village people. We are not supposed to be doing it by ourselves. And I felt that way. i When I when my first was born, I felt like if I can't handle it on my own, I'm not a real woman. I felt that way. And um and so when I was offered help, I said no.
00:23:22
Speaker
And I remember I was home with my firstborn and um a neighbor at the time I was a part of a church and she came and she came with her daughters and she was like, oh, no, her daughters went with her the first time she came and she was like, oh, you know, my daughters can come over and kind of help out a little bit here and there. And I said, what y'all think my response was?
00:23:45
Speaker
No, I got, I'm good. Thank I got it. I got it. I'm good. i got it And I wasn't good. i wasn't. And she looked around at my living room.
00:23:57
Speaker
thats the favor And she said, my daughters will be over tomorrow. okay Yes, sir. You need the help. Now it hurt.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yeah. It hurt. But she was right. Yeah, she was right. And um and I needed the help. And I remember at another point, my son wasn't sleeping and um there was a um I was a part of a church again. And the mother, she the church mother, we would call her. She was like, you look like death.
00:24:31
Speaker
but And I'm just saying to your point that sometimes we need to be spoken truth to. Yes. And it's okay. And so there is a lot of there.
00:24:45
Speaker
Yes. Our society has talked a lot about do it by yourself, right? um Be the woman. Right. Be the strong woman and whatever that is. Right. Be the strong woman, be the strong black woman, be the strong Hispanic, be the strong native. what Whatever, whatever the projection onto you is that you need to carry.
00:25:06
Speaker
yes um that that's not actually a truth. And we get to be spoken a the truth to that it's not only okay, but particularly in those times, it's necessary.
00:25:22
Speaker
And I remember, I'm so glad we're having this conversation. Thank you for who brought up the the pregnancy thing, because i was speaking to a friend who wanted to have a particular ceremony.
00:25:35
Speaker
And I remember speaking to her some truth that some was spoken to me and some wasn't. And I wish it had been.
00:25:45
Speaker
Because as I said before, when my baby was born and you look at the magazines, oh, it looks so beautiful and so so clean and so sweet and delicious.
00:25:59
Speaker
But they don't talk to you about six weeks, seven weeks after partum that you can't walk sometimes. I promise you you're not talking about or thinking about your sensuality, right? We're just... yeah're not And in the back of your mind, the idea of, for some women, okay, I got to get my body back.
00:26:25
Speaker
now Now you feel pressure. I got to get my body back. Yes. Not understanding that it's gone. yes It's gone. Okay. Yes. You can lose some weight, but the body is gone. My hips, the bones shifted. My rib cage, the bones

Community, Connection, and Strength

00:26:43
Speaker
shifted. It will never, like they got bigger. It will never look the same. And then in the back of the mind, I got to get my body back.
00:26:52
Speaker
for the person I'm laying next to, you know, cause I need to make sure that they're okay. And now rushing the process of healing the body. It's a major thing to give birth and, and your body needs to heal. And we're thinking six weeks. That's just the checkup. That doesn't mean your body has healed in six weeks. Right. Okay. Has this been six weeks yet? I guess. Yeah.
00:27:19
Speaker
know it For two to three months. how about How about that? Let's really think about this before we start injecting things back into an alien that has just gone through a major transformation. Right. But we don't, we don't pay attention to these, to these things. Well, and yeah. And a lot of it is projection, right? Like, yeah.
00:27:46
Speaker
Oh, it's so, but hold on. and Let me flash this comment up here. i i even think about a couple that decides to start a business together. The business is the baby. i have watched it wreak havoc on their relationship. And this is true physical. And there are so many ways that we could go you know, with that comment.
00:28:06
Speaker
um and i And I also love this comment. I think I flashed it already. Yeah. I'm exhausted from being strong. That's... that And i add the one of the beautiful things that came out of the five-year stretch, of with whatever that was from 2020 to whenever that we're still dealing with, is that I think a lot of people started to realize that we need community.
00:28:33
Speaker
Yes. We had been so indoctrinated with doing it on our own. And I think one of the one of the flowers that came out of that manure was well yeah was the of people finding community because all of a sudden everyone was isolated and alone and recognizing what community does. And I get it, like families sometimes aren't community.
00:29:01
Speaker
Right?
00:29:04
Speaker
Right? Oh my God. I tell i tell people, We have relatives and we have families. You are related to your relatives. right They may not be community.
00:29:17
Speaker
And for those of us who are doing a lot of healing work, doubly so. And then we're kind of lost. Like, where's our community and who do we trust and how? And all of that comes into play. But I think that's one of the things we realize is that we need community. And now it's about the business of, and I think we're still doing this. It's about the business of finding your community, my community, places where, okay, we can come together with other women together. who understand, who kind of get it and who see us.
00:29:48
Speaker
And now I don't have to be strong because I have someone who's just going to hear me. Yeah. Just hear me and be there. with know and And bear witness.
00:29:59
Speaker
Yes. And bear witness. And bear witness to my truth. Yes. And bear witness to... My becoming, right? wow oh o Yeah. and And I feel that when we find that community, right?
00:30:22
Speaker
And that community finds us, that together in our becoming, we're redefining what strong looks like.
00:30:34
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Right? Because me being able to receive your help, to receive your assistance, to be witnessed
00:30:47
Speaker
in my in in my receiving, in my allowing, in my opening is strength.
00:30:58
Speaker
And it is being strong. It is being strong. It's
00:31:04
Speaker
And I would even, i'm I'm even going to hopefully encourage someone today that it's not just being strong. Because you already know I'm i'm about science and the rebellion, okay? Come on.
00:31:18
Speaker
It's being strong in a way that defies how they have tried to define you. Come on. And how they have tried to actually box and control you by a false definition of strong that we have continually been trying to measure ourselves up to. And now I'm not even going to go to how that had been enforced by um colonialism, slavery and the other things. And now we get to not only defy, but also heal generationally, lineage, energetically, the falsity and reclaim that word strong.

Pleasure, Prosperity, and Community
