Honey-ed: Intimacy Made Easy

Chloe Mascord

A few years ago I was struggling with low libido, overwhelmed with shame, constantly fatigued and trying to juggle life and running a business. I was deeply unsatisfied in my relationship and too embarrassed to admit I, a Sex Coach, was so far from the sex life I deeply desired. I blamed myself, got angry and frustrated with my body and tried everything to convince myself this was part of getting older and being in a long term relationship. Fast forward to now, I am having the most mind-blowing sex I've ever had, filled with pleasure I couldn’t have imagined possible. I don't settle for less than I deserve and feel unbelievably sexy in my body. During this time I decided to launch “Honey-ed the Podcast” with the simple mission of providing bite-sized sex and intimacy tips for time-poor women who don't want to settle for mediocre, guaranteed you go from an unsatisfying to a thriving sex life and relationship in less than 15 mins a week. read less
