From Numbness to Awakening: How Cannabis Transformed This CEO's Sex Life After 30 Years
For three decades, Larissa Soehn thought she knew what good sex was supposed to look like. As the CEO of NextPage Publishing and a successful professional, she had mastered the art of performance—making the right sounds, looking the right way, and doing what she thought would please her partner. But deep down, she couldn't actually feel her body during intimate moments.
"I probably have gone 30 years without ever feeling my body," Larissa shares in this candid episode of the Sex Reimagined Podcast with hosts Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown. Her story resonates with many who find themselves stuck in their heads during intimate moments, going through the motions while disconnected from genuine pleasure.

The Unexpected Catalyst 🌱
After 13 years of marriage, Larissa and her husband discovered there was more to explore in their intimate life. "We actually have to go days where we make eye contact and it's like, ‘I don't think I can do it tonight. The last two, three nights were rambunctious. We need to tone it down,’" she laughs.
Cannabis became a surprising and joyful catalyst for deep, embodied connection instead of just performance. By inviting intentional exploration and curiosity, Larissa unlocked a new chapter of authentic pleasure.
Practical Insights for Beginners 🍃
In the episode, Larissa shares essential guidance for anyone curious about incorporating cannabis into their intimate life:
- Understanding different strains: Indica ("indi-couch") for relaxation vs. Sativa for playful exploration
- The importance of setting and intention: mindfully creating a sensual, safe environment where partners can relax and connect
- Experimenting slowly and with curiosity, finding what works for your individual body and relationship
Breathwork, Eye-Gazing & Connection 👁️🗨️
Beyond cannabis, the real transformation for Larissa came from discovering breathwork and authentic presence. Intentional breathing and sustained eye contact helped Larissa finally drop out of her critical mind and into her body—allowing genuine sensation and pleasure to arise.
