Welcome to the Pleasure Project, I’m your host Dana Skoglund where I bring together eastern wisdom, psychology and life coaching to help you master your mindset and optimize your daily habits so you can experience more pleasure and ease and create a life that sparks joy.

What is the one thing that would change everything?

This was the criteria I was given for a project as part of my master coach training. The assignment was to design a project based on where my growth is.

So I created the pleasure project, an 80 day experiment of consciously creating a life that sparks joy. Today is day 1.

In this episode I share how I came up with the idea and my plan over the next 80 days.

Please subscribe and follow along on my journey.

And if you’d like to share what YOU think is the one thing that would change everything for you, I’d love to hear from you. Head on over to Instagram @danaskoglund and send me a message!

And here's how I really feel about day 1.

Do you have people-pleasing tendencies? Do you notice yourself seeking external validation?

Welcome to being human. AND, you can be more intentional about how you show up in the world.

If this is work you'd like help with, I'm currently taking 1-1 coaching clients. DM me on Instagram and we can set up a time to chat.

Do you seek approval from your loved ones? Do you hide parts of yourself because of that?

Discover what's really happening when we're worried about other people's opinions.

Pleasure is your birthright. Experiencing more pleasure in your life is more about removing the things in the way of experiencing your true nature - which is bliss.

In this episode I share the main way we do this and ways to identify how you're blocking your own pleasure.

If you want help removing the blocks, I'm currently taking 1-1 coaching clients. DM me on Instagram and we can set up a time to chat.

When we believe the goal will bring us more happiness, pleasure, fulfillment, (insert your desired feelings here), we rush. The process sucks because we falsly believe it will be better "there" than here.

In this episode I talk about the problem with this false belief and how to change it so you can tap into pleasure, joy and happiness NOW.

If you have goals you're trying to acheive and you want to actually enjoy the process of working towards them, I'm currently taking 1-1 coaching clients. DM me on Instagram and we can set up a time to chat.

How do you deal (or not deal) with unpleasant emotions?

In this episode I show you how I process my unpleasant emotions so you can practice "feeling" better.

If your emotions feel out of control and are creating unwanted results in your life, I can help. I'm currently taking 1-1 coaching clients. DM me on Instagram and we can set up a time to chat.
