50. 7 Myths About Sex That I Once Genuinely Believed Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

I recently shared a Tiktok titled, '5 Myths About Sex That I Once Genuinely Believed' and you guys had so much to say about it (thoughts, questions, etc)! I thought, why not really dig into these points, share the stories that come along with them and have a chat about the things we all need to unlearn about sex! This is the sex advice I wish I had 6 months ago AND 6 years ago (theres something in here for everybody)!

49. How Drinking Less Can Mean Living More | Interview w/ Millie Gooch from @sobergirlsociety Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we are joined by Millie Gooch, founder of The Sober Girl Society and author of The Sober Girl Society Handbook! Millie has built a beautiful community for people who are sober and "sober curious" (a new term I'm obsessed with)! This episode is going to help you reflect on your relationship with alcohol, which is something we ALL could use. It's important to ask yourself why you drink; are you looking for confidence on the dance floor, momentarily dampening anxiety or potentially trying to escape? If there is even a part of you that feels this way, this episode is a shame free space for you to explore what changes you can make to heal your relationship with alcohol and more importantly, yourself (and no, this doesn't mean you must fully give it up). I'm so excited to share this idea of mindful drinking with all of you and for you to hear Millie's inspiring story!

We've been convinced we need to "fix" every detail of our bodies to fit the societal standards of beauty but who says we have to accept that? Let's talk about how we can heal our relationship with our bodies from a place of compassion AND how this is going to dramatically amplify your sex life!
