In today's episode, Candice talks to Dr. Stormy, a sexuality coach and the creator of Love Deep Lab. They explore all things sexual including how autistic people can explore our bodies, embrace fantasy, identify issues related to sexual aversion, and more!  

Information about Dr. Stormy's work: She combines the knowledge from her medical degree, and certification as a sex, love & relationship coach with her experience as an occupational therapist and with her 15 year practice in tantra, breath work, yoga, meditation and sacred sexuality. Stormy offers coaching with women, men, or couples to help them more deeply connect to self, the beloved, and sexuality as a source of power.
