Talking about celibacy on the Today Show🌸

Last month, I had the honor and privilege to go on the Today Show with Hoda and Jenna and talk about my celibacy journey. As someone who's been celibate for the last 3.5 years, it has been so life-changing for me. The amount of growth, self-love, respect and boundaries I have developed for myself and for my relationships is truly inspiring.

I was able to share my story with other women on the show and for viewers of The Today Show. There's still so much weird stigma that surrounds being celibate so I was happy to share my story. A lot of people decide to go celibate for different reasons. For me personally, I truly wanted to remove the distraction and focus on healing myself so that I can be a better partner to my future man. There were so many things I put behind me that were causing me so much anxiety in my relationships that I needed to truly work on.

If you're someone who is starting your celibacy journey, here are some tips:

1. Deactivate social media - one of the best things I did on my celibacy journey was start it off by deactivating social media. This allowed me to focus on myself and different areas of my life.

2. Feel your emotions - you are going to miss the physical portion of any relationship but once you realize that having sex creates soul ties and energy transfers, you won't be just doing it with anyone. You'll realize that unfortunately, many people don't have much to offer other than sex.

3. Turn to your faith, self-help books, podcasts - during these last 3.5 years, I've done so much self reflection. Trying to figure out what I want and don't want in a relationship. Learning to set healthy boundaries within myself and those who I interact with. Learning more about my attachment style through self-help books and podcasts.

For any person who is deciding to start their celibacy journey, this is your reminder that this journey is never linear. There will be so many ups and downs but you will learn so much about yourself.
