   Why you don’t feel loved enough.

   Trying to get the person to choose us again, prove their love for us, or trying to find the relationship that will finally make us feel held, adored, connected, and safe. Sound familiar? If you truly weren’t getting your needs met in partnership and your heart was open… you would invest in seeing if you could change that, and if you couldn’t, you would leave. But it’s rarely that simple…because we close our hearts. We make up that THEY are the source of love and leaving means losing love. So we stay and we manipulate, we beg, we fawn, we fight, we perform, we resent, we control. Things get very complicated from this mistaken belief. When I make one person the source of love, every rupture with them starts to feel like exile from love itself. What if the problem isn’t that love is missing? What if love is everywhere, and the problem is we’ve closed our heart. In this episode, I’m talking about why heartbreak, loneliness, anger, grief, and longing are not necessarily a disconnection from love, the key distinction, and why making one person responsible for having you feel loved is a losing proposition. Your relationship status does not determine your access to love, and I’ll explain exactly why. **I referenced “Muse”, which is short for Becoming the Muse (https://drcaite.com/becoming-the-muse), my 6-month women’s program.

   Your Body Is the Blueprint for Every Relationship You'll Ever Have

   Your body has been trying to tell you something — and it's not what you think. In this conversation with Sydney Zwicker, founder of the School of Sovereign Touch (https://www.zwickerhealingarts.com/practitioner-training), we go deep into the places where the physical and the relational are never actually separate: a retroverted uterus can be a fear of being seen, the protective mechanisms you bring to a partner are the same ones you bring to your own skin, and the courage it takes to soften toward your body is the same courage it takes to let someone else close. We talk about why the female nervous system needs community and touch in ways that "just push through it" culture was never built to honor, what it actually looks like to give your body a corrective experience instead of another fix-it project, and why love — for another person or for yourself — is never about changing one another. If you've ever felt at odds with your own body, this one's for you. Learn more about my women’s program Becoming the Muse (https://drcaite.com/becoming-the-muse). Enrollment closes Sept 28th.

   Trying to fill God-sized holes with romantic love.

   A spontaneous teaching I shared with my women’s group while driving (pardon the car-audio-quality). What if the deepest longing you feel for partnership... isn’t actually for partnership? This isn’t a sermon or an argument for any religious beliefs. I believe one of the greatest spiritual misunderstandings we carry is that another person can fulfill the deepest longing of our soul. I don’t think they can. I think what we’re ultimately longing for is a union that doesn’t exist in any sustainable way inside of partnership with another human. Union with the divine, union with the field of love, union with our own true nature. And because we’ve forgotten what that feels like, or we only experience in these little glimmers during lovemaking or plant-medicine experiences or other fleeting states, we project that longing onto romantic partnership. We imagine that when we finally meet “the one,” we’ll arrive. Of course I believe partnership can be extraordinary. I teach relationship skills for a living. I believe healthy partnership is one of the most profound paths of spiritual growth available to us. But I don’t believe your partner was ever meant to become your source of love. I think they’re meant to reveal all the places you still believe you’re separate from it. That’s a very different relationship. No wonder people don’t meet the “one” and suddenly feel peaceful, loved and fulfilled forevermore. In this mini podcast, I explore why the deepest fulfillment we’re seeking isn’t something another person can give us, and why that realization actually makes love more available, not less. I’d love to know what comes up for you. Does this feel like an exhale...or does it bring up resistance? 🎧 Listen to the full audio and let me know. This is a public episode.

   Slow Pleasure is Deeper Pleasure

   Orgasms are one of the most powerful forms of natural medicine we have, supporting everything from mood and pain relief to cardiovascular health, bonding, and nervous system regulation. But not all pleasure affects the brain in the same way. In this episode, we're exploring the fascinating relationship between orgasm, dopamine, oxytocin, and effort, and why slower, more intentional pleasure often leaves us feeling more nourished than quick dopamine hits. We'll talk about the neuroscience of pleasure, the difference between relief and true fulfillment, and how your intimate life often mirrors the patterns present in the rest of your relationships.

   🌹 Why Pleasure Changes Throughout Your Cycle

   Why does sex sometimes feel incredible... and other times leave you wondering what happened? Why do orgasms vary so much throughout your cycle? Why does everything seem to hurt more emotionally and physically right before your period? In this episode, we're exploring the fascinating roles estrogen, testosterone, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins play in shaping your experience of pleasure, desire, orgasm, and pain. I'll weave together science, Chinese medicine, and my own observations to help you better understand your body's rhythms so you can work with them instead of wondering what's "wrong" with you. 🫠🌹The Melt class (https://caitlin-gordon.mykajabi.com/a-body-healing-workshop?_gl=1*f9lvz9*_ga*MTgwNzAxMjM2My4xNzczMjAxMzAy*_ga_VSRGTDNLLF*czE3ODMxOTM3MTkkbzcwJGcxJHQxNzgzMTkzNzIxJGo1OCRsMCRoMA) I referenced as an HRT alternative way to support improved vaginal and vulva health and estrogen levels.

   The pleasure paradox and why everything you've been taught about pleasure is wrong.

   There is a lot of nuance to this topic of depression that I didn’t address in this clip. If you’re struggling with major depression currently, this episode is not for you. Four things I want to mention in particular: * Our propensity for depression can be related to our liver detox genes and nutritional deficiencies, I highly recommend working with a functional med doc (https://drcaite.com/vital-woman-health-consults) before you medicate. * The dorsal “freeze” response happens when we perceive a threat that we don’t think we are capable of fighting of fleeing from. Our nervous system will choose sympathetic/fight-flight as a first line of defense typically, unless it assesses that something is too dangerous for those to be effective. I hope this gives you compassion for what is underneath depression— some fear, grief, or perceived danger that feels insurmountable. * Movement isn’t the only thing that helps us come out of dorsal. Co-regulation with other people can help, oxytocin from touch and loving connection can help, and turning towards the source of shame, grief, or fear and taking action can help immensely. This is what good therapeutic or coaching support (https://drcaite.com/about-1-1-coaching) should help you do! * I acknowledge there are people and circumstances in which the help of an anti-depressant can be life-changing. The concern I have is my years helping patients wean off those meds and how there is often a backlog of emotion that didn’t get processed in the chemically-masked freeze state. The reason many people can’t cry or orgasm on SSRIs is because the nervous system is still hypo-regulated. The fight-flight responses that come online again as they wean and unthaw can be really tough— insomnia, anxiety, nightmares, panic, racing heart, dizziness, brain zaps, etc. And these can absolutely be helped by a number of other interventions to help regulate the nervous system but the nervous system supportive tools need to be there.

   Becoming magnetic depends on this ONE thing.

   A brief recap of nervous system states referenced in this podcast. Sympathetic: Your body shifts into protection through action. You may feel anxious, hypervigilant, controlling, restless, irritable, or constantly “on.” This is the fight-or-flight state, where your nervous system is scanning for danger and prioritizing survival over connection, pleasure, or rest. Dorsal (Dorsal Vagal): Your body shifts into protection through shutdown. You may feel numb, disconnected, exhausted, hopeless, unmotivated, or like you’ve disappeared from yourself. This is the freeze or collapse response, where the nervous system conserves energy by withdrawing when things feel too overwhelming. Ventral (Ventral Vagal): This is the regulated, connected state where you feel safe enough to be fully present. You experience more ease, curiosity, confidence, playfulness, intimacy, and resilience. From ventral, you’re able to connect deeply with yourself and others, access creativity and pleasure, and respond to challenges with flexibility rather than reactivity. This is a public episode.
