We honor the strength, vulnerability, and resilience of those affected by breast cancer.
Breast cancer doesn’t just impact the body- it can deeply affect intimacy, identity, and connection.
Survivors and their partners may navigate challenges like body image shifts, trauma triggers, emotional distance, or changes in s*xual desire.

We want to remind you:

🩷 Your body is still worthy of love and pleasure.

🩷 Intimacy may look different and that’s okay!

🩷 Healing happens in connection with yourself, your partner(s), and your story.

Whether you're a survivor, a partner, or a caregiver, you're not alone. We’re here to support the emotional, relational, and s*xual well-being that cancer so often complicates, but NEVER defines!

Today, we honor the courage it takes to care for your mind.
To pause. To reach out. To ask for help. To choose healing, even when it feels hard.

At Aligning Intimacy, we believe that mental health is not just the absence of illness but rather it’s the presence of connection, compassion, and balance. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, or relationship challenges, your story matters. You deserve to be met with safety, curiosity, and respect.

This World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in with yourself:

What do I need more of right now?
Who can I reach out to for support?
What helps me feel grounded in my body and connected to others?

Small moments of care are powerful. Healing doesn’t have to be loud to be life-changing. 💚

🖤 Welcome to Your Villain Era 🖤

You’re not cruel. You’re not selfish. You’re just done being controlled.
When you stop people-pleasing, you suddenly become the “villain” in someone else’s story, and that’s exactly where your freedom begins.

In our newest blog, “Embracing Your Villain Era,” s*x and relationship therapist Zoe Stallings dives into what it really means to:
✨ Choose yourself without guilt
✨ Break free from old narratives
✨ Redefine power and autonomy

Because here’s the truth: you’re not the villain.
You’re just no longer playing the role they wrote for you.

S*x ed isn’t just about the “don’ts.” It’s not only about preventing pregnancy or avoiding STIs, that’s such a tiny slice of the bigger picture.

Real s*x ed should help us understand things like how desire works, what brings pleasure, how to respect ourselves and our partners, and how to be more aware of our own bodies and boundaries.

When we have those tools, s*x and relationships feel safer, more connected, and way less confusing. That’s what effective s*x ed is really about.

We didn’t just miss out on the facts in s*x ed, we missed out on the truth about pleasure.

So many of us were taught (directly or indirectly) it’s selfish, dangerous, or “not important.” But here’s the reality:

- Pleasure helps us feel connected, safe, and alive in our bodies.
- Everyone deserves pleasure, not just one partner.
- And it can look different for every person, every season of life.

When we start unlearning these myths, pleasure becomes what it was always meant to be: part of our health and our humanity.

Consent isn’t a checkbox...it’s an ongoing conversation.

It’s freely given, can be withdrawn at any time, and only counts when everyone is informed, comfortable, and genuinely wants to be there.

In this post, we’re breaking down what consent really means, how to ask for it without killing the mood, and how to recognize when it’s not there.

Respect, communication, and choice make intimacy safer, healthier, and way more enjoyable.

Safer s*x isn’t just one thing, it’s a collection of practices that protect your body, your health, and your relationships.

From condoms and dental dams to l**e, birth control, and regular STI testing, these tools work best when paired with clear communication and respect for boundaries.

Think of it as your safer s*x toolkit. You get to choose what goes in, based on your needs and comfort.

Swipe to explore the options, learn what each one does, and start building the toolkit that works for you.

Safer s*x is so much more than using a condom. It’s about caring for your body, your health, and your peace of mind.

It’s the conversations you have before clothes come off, the tools you choose to protect yourself, and the plan you have if something doesn’t go as expected.

This is the S*x Ed you should have gotten in school. No shame, no awkward lectures, just clear, respectful information. Stay tuned for more posts in this series covering the topics health class skipped.

BLOG ALERT: Shiny Happy People Season 2 Unpacked!

Season 2 of Shiny Happy People doesn’t just tell stories, it names systems. From purity culture and spiritual performance to family loyalty and emotional suppression, this season hit hard.

As a therapist and someone who’s lived parts of this story, I wrote about the connections between religious trauma, high-achiever identity, and the long road back to self-trust. If you’ve ever felt like “being good” came at the cost of being whole, this is for you.

We often hear “intimacy” and think s*x.
But intimacy is so much more than what happens in the bedroom.

It’s being able to say, “I don’t know how I feel,” and not be met with judgment.
It’s emotional safety, shared laughter, and quiet moments where you feel truly seen.
It’s about connection that honors consent, not just in s*x - but in conversations, affection, and how we navigate closeness.

True intimacy is built on choice, not pressure. Safety, not performance. Connection, not assumption.

Whether you're unpacking your own beliefs around intimacy or healing from experiences that made closeness feel unsafe - you’re allowed to take your time.
You get to define what intimacy means to you.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

Myth: Good s*x is always pain-free.

Fact: S*x can include discomfort or even pain and still be good if it's intentional, consensual, and part of what feels pleasurable for you (think kink, impact play, etc.).

But here’s the thing: Pain isn’t a rite of passage. And it’s not the price of intimacy.

If s*x feels painful and that pain feels confusing, violating, or emotionally charged - your body is telling a story worth listening to.

You deserve s*x that feels safe and affirming - not something you endure, disassociate from, or leave you questioning your worth.⁣

And you don’t have to decode that story alone.

Therapy can be a space to untangle what’s physical, what’s emotional, and what’s been internalized from purity culture, trauma, or medical gaslighting.

Pleasure doesn’t start with performance.
It starts with safety.
With slowness.
With the radical act of believing your body.

You’re not broken. You’re not being dramatic. And no, you’re not the only one.
