On this deeply powerful episode of the Mom's Talk Sex podcast, I sat down with Kerry Bouzaglo for a conversation that honestly went far beyond sex.
We talked about:
childhood trauma
suicide and emotional healing
feminine energy
sexuality and embodiment
spiritual awakening
intuition and psychic gifts
what happens when women finally reconnect with themselves
And if I’m being honest, this was one of those conversations that you don’t just listen to intellectually… you feel it.
Because Kerry's story is raw. It’s intense. It’s unconventional. But underneath all of it is a woman who spent years healing deep pain and learning how to come home to herself.
From Childhood Trauma to Spiritual Awakening
Kerry shared openly about her childhood trauma, emotional wounds, and the moment her life completely changed. After struggling for years and feeling overwhelmed by her daughter’s eating disorder and the pressure placed on her as a mother, Kerry attempted suicide in 2019.
She described reaching a place where her mind convinced her that her children would be better off without her.
Thankfully, her older daughter found her the next morning and saved her life.
That experience became a turning point. Later that year, Kerry found herself guided to a hot yoga class — something she never expected would begin awakening her healing journey.
And what started happening inside her body surprised her.
How Trauma Was Stored in Her Body
One of the most powerful moments in the conversation was when Kerry shared how trauma had been physically living inside her body for decades. She explained that she had experienced debilitating lower back pain for 35 years, something she now connects to repressed femininity, emotional suppression, and sexual trauma.
During a seemingly simple interaction at yoga — allowing herself to feel feminine, playful, open, and emotionally engaged — something shifted. Her pain disappeared.
For Kerry, this became a profound realization: the body holds emotional pain. And when women suppress their sexuality, emotions, desires, and feminine expression for years, the body often carries that burden physically.
Sexual Healing & Reconnecting to Feminine Energy
Something I appreciated about Kerry's honesty was how openly she spoke about her sexuality and healing journey. She explained that because of her trauma, physical intimacy often felt overwhelming. Instead, she began exploring connection emotionally, energetically, spiritually, and imaginatively first.
And through that process, she began understanding something deeper: her femininity mattered.
Kerry described learning how emotional openness directly impacted her experience of intimacy and pleasure. The more emotionally connected she became to herself, the more alive, expressive, feminine, and embodied she felt.
She shared something that really stood out:
“The more I could open emotionally, the more pleasure I had.”
And honestly, I think so many women can relate to that. Because true intimacy is never just physical. It’s emotional. Energetic. Spiritual. It’s about safety, surrender, trust, and connection.
What Happens When Women Disconnect From Their Femininity?
Throughout the episode, Kerry reflected on how deeply she had disconnected from herself for years. She shared experiences of:
unhealthy relationships
sexual abuse
shame around sexuality
self-abandonment
not valuing herself
motherhood burnout
emotional repression
And what became clear through the conversation is that many women spend years surviving without truly feeling connected to their bodies, emotions, or feminine essence. Kerry described how that disconnection shaped almost every area of her life: her relationships, her health, her marriage, her sexuality, and even how she cared for herself after becoming a mother.
At one point, after the birth of her second child, she became critically ill and spent weeks in the ICU because she ignored her own needs completely. This is something so many women silently experience: the belief that everyone else matters more than they do.
Spiritual Gifts, Intuition & Becoming a Shaman
Another huge part of this conversation centered around intuition, spirituality, and Kerry's path as a shaman. Kerry explained that she has always been deeply intuitive, sensitive, and spiritually aware.
After her mother passed away on her 45th birthday, she experienced what she describes as a spiritual awakening. She began embracing her psychic abilities, intuitive gifts, and connection to energy more fully. According to Kerry, being a shaman means becoming consciously aware of the energetic and spiritual connection between people.
She described feeling connected to the emotions, energy, and even the souls of the people around her.
Whether listeners fully resonate with that perspective or not, what was undeniable during this conversation was Kerry's deep belief in healing, self-awareness, emotional transformation, and inner work.
Healing Feminine Pain Can Unlock Creativity, Purpose & Power
One of the biggest themes that came through in this episode was this:
When women heal their sexuality and reconnect to themselves, their entire lives begin to shift.
Kerry spoke about how, after years of emotional work, healing feminine pain, trauma, and embracing her femininity, she experienced:
greater self-belief
deeper emotional openness
creative breakthroughs
spiritual experiences
confidence in her voice
a stronger sense of purpose
She described finally feeling aligned with who she truly came here to be.
And honestly, this is why these conversations matter so much. Because healing sexuality is not just about sex, it’s about self-worth, emotional freedom, nervous system healing, feminine embodiment, authenticity, learning how to fully receive yourself.
Final Thoughts: This Is What Sexual Healing Can Look Like
At the end of the episode, I shared something that still feels true:
“This is what embodied sex looks like. This is what sexual healing looks like.”
Not perfect. Not polished. Not always linear, but real.
This conversation was a reminder that healing can look different for everyone. For some women, healing begins through therapy. For others, through embodiment work, spirituality, emotional healing, motherhood, relationships, creativity, or reconnecting with the body. But ultimately, healing is about becoming more connected to yourself.
And when women truly begin doing that inner work, incredible transformations can happen.
