You Will NEVER Have Another … with Soshy Adelstein aka BodyPosiMommy Apr 19, 2019

Show notes

Soshy was born into a world where from the age of 3 she was to be covered from the neck down. The first time she broke the rules she was in her teens, by buying a pair of blue jeans and listening to non-Jewish music. Disowned by her mother at 17, Soshy went through some seriously dark times, struggling with diets, binge eating, body image issues, depression, and low self-esteem.

We become fast friends, as we bare our souls about it all: confessions of secret binging behaviours in our youth, sex after motherhood, food and pleasure, what to do when we’re feeling gross, intuitive eating, loving yourself at every size, and how diet culture is effing us up, causing us to feel like we are never good enough!

Sophie Jaffe is a Los Angeles-based health and wellness expert, a certified raw food chef and yoga teacher. She’s also a mom of 3 and a brilliant entrepreneur who started the superfood brand Philosophie … but we actually didn’t talk about any of that.

Our Week of Touch and Talk with Two Sex and Relationship Coaches Mar 29, 2019

Show notes

GOLD breakthroughs. So many couples are suffering - couples who love each other deeply, but intimacy is bleh. Lacklustre. We live in a culture obsessed with sex, but most of us are not sexually satisfied, not truly fulfilled and fed. We place impossible expectations on our partners and harbour resentment and hurt. We have no language to ask for what we want, and we place our erotic desires at the bottom of our priority list, somewhere below work, parenting, and laundry. BUT THERE'S HOPE! Here's what happened at a private workshop with two Sex and Relationship therapists.
