Morgen Love is a powerful being and force in this life. I have personally witnessed her transformation over the last several years, which includes coming out to the worldwide community about being queer, embracing your own flavor of sexiness, consent, being powerful in your vulnerability and being an activist for sex workers, the LGBTQ+ community and for being safe to let your freak flag fly!

This woman is blowing my heart and mind wide open and I’m SUPER excited at the thought of her being a regular contributor to the Ignite Intimacy podcast.

Morgen shares another one of her musings with us on this episode and you definitely want in on this conversation!!
