Elana’s words and practices invite women to soften the old patterns of shame and striving that often keep us from truly feeling at home in our bodies. This book is a reclamation of the feminine, a love letter to every woman who’s ready to live fully, freely, and without apology.” - Julie Santiago, founder and CEO of We Are The Women “The Sure Thing is an invitation back into your body and your pleasure. Elana has this rare way of making intimacy feel accessible, playful, and deeply sacred all at once. As a sexologist and intimacy coach, I’ve read countless books on connection, but this one hit differently—it made me slow down, breathe, and remember that desire isn’t something we wait for; it’s something we create. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or your partner, this book will remind you that it doesn’t take a miracle to feel alive again—just a little intention and a lot of curiosity.” - Dr. Stacy Friedman, podcast host of Purple Passion Project and clinical sexologist/certified sex coach “The Sure Thing is a wildly entertaining and instructive roadmap to self discovery, intimacy and joy.
