Offline, With Alison Rice

Latest Episodes:

Tom Derickx opens up about his struggle with depression & anxiety. Mar 30, 2019

Show notes

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with musician, model, ex-AFL player and ambassador for suicide prevention charity, U R OK, Tom Derickx.

Offline exists as an exploration of self and as we journey deeper, it’s important to show both the light and the shade. For some, our sense of self is veiled by anxiety and for others, it’s the dark night of depression. In this episode and for the first time, Tom bravely shares the thing he’s held closest to him — his battle with both.

We hope that for the people listening who are also caring for their mental health, or who are a support person or want to find out how to be one, that this honest conversation helps.

Juliet Allen on sex as a pathway to healing. Mar 23, 2019

Show notes

Dearest you.

An honest conversation with leading Australian sexologist, coach, and host of Authentic Sex, Juliet Allen.

In this very honest conversation, we discuss everything from sex as a pathway to healing, the importance of polarity of sexual energies in the bedroom, how to use our sexual energy to attract what we want in life, why our cycle is sacred, how to ask for what we truly desire, porn vs. connected sex, and why it is time to redefine the word slut.

Trigger warning: Some parts of this honest conversation are difficult and confronting — both the language we use and the topics we explore. This includes miscarriage and loss. I also advise not to have kids around for this one.
