Embodied Self-Trust with Angela Rivero

About Embodied Self-Trust with Angela Rivero

Everyday Intimacy is a podcast for women who are exhausted by trying to heal the “right” way and still feel stuck. Most of us were taught that healing means digging into the past, analyzing every pattern, talking it through, and pushing harder. Yet many women are left overwhelmed, disconnected from pleasure, and caught in nervous system patterns that keep repeating no matter how much insight they have. Hosted by Angela Rivero, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and Somatic Sex, Intimacy & Relationship Coach, this podcast offers a different path. One that starts with the nervous system.

   Turned On Living: A Conversation with Dr. Veda

   In this episode of Everyday Intimacy, host Angela sits down with Dr. Veda to explore sexual vitality, desire, and the many factors that shape how connected we feel to ourselves and our bodies. Dr. Veda shares her perspective on why libido is about more than hormones. Stress, emotional well-being, movement, life stage, and our relationship with our own desires can all be part of the picture. Together, Angela and Veda discuss practical ways to check in with the body, build presence, and make space for intimacy through changing seasons of life. In this episode: What it means to feel “turned on” beyond sexual arousal Why hormones matter, but may not tell the whole story Why desire can shift: Dr. Veda explores how desire is a reflection of vitality, and why changes in libido may have less to do with hormones or attraction and more to do with stress, depletion, disconnection, circulation, and our relationship with ourselves.Dr. Veda is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, founder of the Turned On Clinic in San Diego, and host of Quantumly Kinky, where ancient wisdom meets modern intimacy. She believes desire isn’t something we lose; it’s a reflection of how connected we are to our bodies, our nervous systems, and our deepest truth. Through her work, she helps people awaken vitality, sensuality, and authentic connection by blending Eastern medicine, frequency medicine, and the science of regulation. Her mission is simple: to help people become deeply turned on to their lives.
