A 90 day program to more intimacy, joy, and pleasure in sex
I asked Catholic wives on Instagram what help or advice about they would like about sex.
I was flooded with responses like these...
You have so many legitimate questions...
Where do you go for faithful answers?
❌ Google it? Yuck! Who knows what will come up....
❌ Secular sources? They don't know or respect the Catholic Church's view of sex. (To put it mildly.)
❌ Ask your parish priest? Super awkward. And, just.... no.
Ladies!
It's time for answers to all of your questions about sex
for Catholic women, from a woman's perspective!
What Students Say
Today is the first day I have felt comfortable and happy in my sexuality and fertility! I just feel so well integrated with these aspects of me that I used to feel alienated from."
Knowing that I finally have someone to talk to and I have the information in the course and the other women on a journey too; I just cried happy tears. I've felt sooooo isolated for 9.5 years. But now I'm not alone."
Intimacy has taken on a whole new meaning for me and woken up our marriage (with fun included!), and woken up my heart."

This is an investment in your marriage.
Look at the cost of some alternatives:
A secular program to help women increase their sexual desire costs $2,000
A private coach to help you costs more than $3,000.
Counseling costs $150-$200 / hour, so weekly sessions for three months could easily cost over $2,000
And none of those options are sure to be faithfully Catholic
My Delight
is less expensive, 100% Catholic,
connects you with a beautiful community of women,
and it works!
How has My Delight helped real women?
❤️ "I have broken down barriers which I personally put in place because of my misunderstanding of the Church's teachings."
❤️ "The sisterhood and the graces from our prayers changed me. I came to understand that God has created us beautifully. That our pleasure is something He wants for us.
❤️ "This is so helpful! I definitely went into marriage completely uninformed about how pleasure happnes. I knew all about charting my cycles, some basic mechanics about sex, but really nothing about how my body works in the sense of achieving pleasure."
❤️ "It wasn't until Sarah's My Delight class that I finally felt like I was 'given permission' to enjoy sex with my husband."
Let me answer your Questions
Who is this course for?
My Delight is for engaged or married Catholic women.
If you're in your 20's or 30's, you are at an ideal time to build a strong foundation of joy and intimacy for decades to come.
If you're in your 40's, 50's or 60's, you can still learn and grow and uncover patterns that have been holding you back.
Perimenopause and post-menopause are great times to work on your love life, as these are important transitions where new skills are so helpful!
The important thing is to be "young at heart." Having a growth mindset is SO important. You cannot blame everything that is disappointing on your husband or your circumstances. You have to be open to trying new things and believe in the possibility of changing yourself.
Can I schedule private calls with Sarah?
YES! You can. I'd love to work with you one-on-one. Join the PREMIUM enrollment to get one of the limited spots available for personal coaching. Premium students receive a link to my calendar and can schedule calls for times that work for you.
What is the time commitment?
Everyone is busy! I get it. I'm busy too! You only need an hour or two per week.
Here's the thing: you have to be willing to invest in this area of your life if you want to see results.
If you can dedicate just an hour or two per week to joining or listening to the group calls and commit to praying about intimacy to let God into this area of your marriage, by the end of 90 days you can see dramatic results.
How long will I have access to the class?
With BASIC enrollment, you get access until May 31, 2025
With PREMIUM enrollment, you get lifetime access.
