How confident are you in asking for what you want in the bedroom? Did you know that a woman who knows what to ask in the bedroom, knows what she deserves and how to ask for it in her other aspects of life? As women, we tend to forget about our own sexual pleasure as we become preoccupied with life and hence lose our overall confidence which shouldn’t be the case.
Angel Johnstone is the creator of Confidence is Catchy and writer of erotic and short stories. She creates confidence-building programs and events for women by teaching them how to regain their confidence by asking their partners what they want in the bedroom. She discovered this journey two years ago but has a long history of exercising self-confidence seeing that she used to be a conscious exotic dancer when she was younger.
Listen in to learn how being confident in the bedroom to ask for what you want translates to asking for what you want in other areas of your life. You will also learn how you can start your journey of sexual communication with your partner.
