MEET YOUR PLEASURE ARCHETYPE:
Primal Productivity Priestess
aka The Warrior
Read on to own your pleasure and stand in your divine power, woman!
Fiercely independent, resilient AF, and capable of just about anything, you find pleasure in the exhilarating whirl of GETTING. SHIT. DONE.
You’re not just a complete world unto yourself, you’re the whole solar system. There’s nothing you need that you can’t provide for on. your. own. Thank you very much! And getting sh*t done is (almost 😉) your favorite way to get your rocks off.
With your problem-solving prowess and abundant creativity, you can do the job of seven different specialists. (✔️Chemist. ✔️Coach. ✔️Candlestick maker.) If the situation demands, you’ll bang out a spreadsheet, a sonnet, and a soufflé – all before your second espresso.
You’re deviously delighted by pushing your own limits – just to see what they are. The heady rush of one-upping your own past achievements keeps you sharp, stimulated, and satisfied.
For you, planning and executing your to-do list is anything but a slog. It’s ecstatic and thrilling – like riding a roller coaster you designed yourself. The more daunting the climb, the more exhilarating the ride.
Your pleasure archetype at a glance
Your pleasure archetype in shadow
While you’re out there channeling Joan of Arc, be careful not to burn yourself at the stake of your own productivity.
All that doing makes each moment electric. But when your brain is on fire, do you know what’s happening with your body? (You know – that thing that exists from your neck down?)
Checking in with your whole self can help you bask in the pleasure part of your pleasure archetype. The part that makes it enjoyable.
So here’s a pleasure pointer for you:
At the crest of each mountain, pause and take in the view. Celebrate what you did to reach the peak. And then plan your next ascent.
As Kierkegaard said, “Many of us pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that we hurry past it.”
So don’t miss opportunities to wander off from your carefully-mapped route. Yes, efficiency is exciting. But remember that the winding path whispers with hidden delights.
When you pause to receive – and savor – small pleasures, you may discover that the zigzag, slalom, and swerve can be just as fulfilling as the beeline.
Whatever your pleasure, the roadmap to a rich life lives within you.
And it’s yours alone.
Your joyful mission is to open and receive it.

Keep it fresh: bring balance to your pleasure life!
The way you receive pleasure is a love story – the story of your love affair with yourself.
And even the steamist affair needs new energy to keep things fresh.
Keep things hot and surprising in your love story: Take a page from the romance novels of the other pleasure archetypes.

Let’s break down why pleasure is so important
🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕
“Pleasure is wild and sweet. She likes purple flowers. She loves the sun and the wind and the night sky. She carries a silver bowl full of liquid moonlight. She has a cat named Midnight with stars on his paws. Many people mistrust Pleasure, and even more misunderstand her.”
– J. Ruth Gendler, The Book of Qualities
🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕
Here’s a lesson from Pleasure 101, Warrior Woman: We can’t discuss pleasure without talking about desire.
If you’re like most women, you’re not 100% confident what your desires really are. Sure, you could rattle off a long list of things you’d like to get done. Things you’d like to buy. Places you’d like to travel.
But are those your true desires? The ones written in your heart?
You probably grew up learning how to carefully fold up your actual desires and hide them away from the world.
They were too wild. Too weird. Too inappropriate. They threatened to take up too much space and demand too much of your attention.
Instead, you learned how to be a good girl. And holy cow! You mastered those skills: Productivity, busy-ness, achievements! Belonging, caretaking, relationships!
Don’t get me wrong: Those skills are important. Prioritizing your good-girl qualities made you the polished, successful woman you are.
But it had a steep cost.
The desires you hid away from the world? The ones you planned to tuck into your pocket for later?
You hid them from the world for so long, you ended up hiding them from yourself.
What were they? What did they feel like? Did they even exist in the first place?
What, really, is your pleasure? Do you even know what would feel good, delicious, and nourishing in your unique vessel?
Do you remember how to open and deeply receive?
When you’ve turned off your turn-ons, you can’t help but feel like your light is dimmed.
It’s natural to conclude that your needs are being unmet. And it’s true! They are! But you may assume the neglect is coming from your partner, your friends, or your job.
The truth is – and don’t shoot the messenger here: It’s you.
You’re the one neglecting your needs. You’ve been living a cookie-cutter script, expecting it to fulfill your desires. But pleasure is a wild and singular beast. What satisfies you is yours and yours alone. If you don’t turn inward, if you don’t listen closely, you may miss the message.
And the message is so important… because it’s about YOU! Your desires are your own personal road map. They’re an invitation to create the life you were meant to live.
This is what so many people miss in conversations about pleasure. Pleasure is not about treating yourself because you were extra good this week. It’s not about splurging on a spa day after a job well done. And it’s definitely not about being selfish.
Pleasure is actually all about coming into deep relationship with your sparkling, f-ing powerful, one-of-a-kind self. And the magic that happens when you do.
So NO! Pleasure isn’t light, fluffy, or frivolous. Pleasure is a lifeline connecting your just-okay, ho-hum existence to a divine, soulful, and deeply embodied life.
Wanna know the coolest part?
Something transformative unfolds when you take time to know your desires. When you turn towards them, over and over. When you devote yourself to knowing them with slow, sacred intensity.
When you follow your desires where they lead, you find the path back to yourself.
HERE’S WHERE THE MAGIC COMES IN:
You begin to feel nourished, whole, and safe. You know intuitively how to make decisions – without spinning in circles, calling your bestie twelve times, or consulting a magic 8 ball.
You just know – whether it’s a question as simple as what you should eat for lunch, or as consequential as what you should do with the next ten years.
The more deeply you listen to the voice of your desires, the more you’ll hear. And, for the record: the listening is not so much about using your EARS but connecting to your senses through your fleshy flesh.
The voice that comes through will lead you to a trusting partnership with your wise, innermost self.
And from that place of deep self-trust, everything else flows: a balanced, abundant, delicious life. A generous life, where you’re always pouring from a full cup.
A life where you’re attuned, in every moment, to your expansive capacity to feel pleasure. To let pleasure take you by breathless surprise. To be awakened by pleasure into this fresh, present moment. Over and over and over.
Bring curiosity to this practice. Let it change you. It’s a slow process – more like tending a garden than hitting the supermarket. But when you attend to it with slow, curious devotion, you’ll be surprised at what grows.
I can’t tell you what that will be. Your desires will guide you to your own pleasure, in your own unique way. But I can tell you that pleasure, practiced with care, can be the most potent medicine for what ails you in your life.
Own the practices that zing you with pleasure. Practice them daily, with ritual devotion. With abandon and joy. Find the sweet spots in your day – until your whole day is sweet.
Become a devotee of your own pleasure practices and live a life rich with satisfaction for your body, heart, mind, and soul.
👆This is the road map to reclaiming the fullest expression of your wild, wonderful self.
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.”
– Rumi
Attuning to your desires is the way to nurture your relationship with yourself. And honing that relationship is the first step to calling in – and receiving – what you really want in your life.

Meet Jenny Glick,

- couples counseling
- sex therapy
- family systems
- trauma healing
- somatic therapy
- embodied spiritual practices
- mindset and meditation techniques

I’ve earned a long list of degrees and certifications. None of them say I’m “a revolution,” “a wayshower,” or a “mother f’ing dragon.” But some of the women in my programs have.

I’m not here to solve your problems. I’m here to show you how to find the answers in yourself.
I teach women how to open to the map within, how to cultivate the lost art of self-devotion, and how to stand in a deep place of trust – so all of your decisions align with the wisdom of your highest self.
It’s knowledge I practice daily in my own life, mastered through years of hard knocks and real relationship sh**.
And it’s knowledge I demonstrate with the women in my yearlong mentoring program. One way I do that is by loving them up with gifts. Real, sent-through-the-mail packages with contents designed to thrill and enchant their senses. You could call gifting one of my pleasure languages!
I can’t do it quiiiite the same way through email, but check your inbox. I’m ready to start loving you up too. (And don’t worry – my vibration is all about quality, not quantity.)
