Sexual Self-Efficacy: Know What You Want, Ask for It & Live Your Best Sex Life ft. Lori Rose
About this episode
Knowing what you want sexually is one thing — feeling empowered enough to ask for it is another entirely. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, sits down with Lori Rose, trauma-conscious sex and relationship educator, somatic movement guide, two-time TEDx speaker, and University of Michigan Sexual Health Certificate Program graduate, to explore what sexual self-efficacy actually means and how to build it. Lori brings a uniquely holistic, body-based approach to sexual wellness that blends neuroscience, somatic movement, and lived experience as a survivor of sexual and intimate partner violence to help people integrate their whole selves and live more authentically. Topics covered: what sexual self-efficacy is and why it matters with or without a partner, somatic exercises to reconnect with your body and enhance pleasure, how trauma affects sexual confidence and how to begin healing it, slowing down to experience sensation more fully, how neurodivergence and disability intersect with sexuality and self-expression, asking for what you want in a relationship without shame or fear, and building a sexual life grounded in authenticity, safety, and joy. Find Lori Rose and her programs through her website and social media for coaching, workshops, and resources on sexual health and somatic movement.
