Zachary Levi x Radical Love Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

We can all relate to not feeling our best. Be it just a moment and others an endless wheel of despair. Let Zaddy's Zone and Zachary Levi bring a little levity, light and love to the topic. It ain't all sunshine as we move along with Zachary through his struggle highlighting: feelings of being on the outside looking in, achievement not equating fulfillment, performing for a "place", charity, antagonistic brains, the self loathing spiral, tools like perspective and spirituality. Extracurriculars include endeavors along the way, a run-in with Luke, Flow, Shazam! and it all rounds into the fact that sometimes you fall apart to become whole again.
Zachary is most well known for his portrayal of Chuck in the series Chuck and has starred in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and is anticipating the release of Shazam! 2. He most recently wrote a book Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others, "I truly believe that if we can help heal the hearts and minds of everyone on earth, we will solve every other problem known to man in the process." -- Zachary Levi

Gina Gutierrez x Literotica & Sexual Wellness Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Zoners, Gina Gutierrez the cofounder of Dipsea, an audio erotica startup, is on and we're chattin' about the world where storytelling meets sex, their motto. Do people actually want to listen to sexual fantasies they don't want to live out? Giving yourself permission to enjoy your imagination is a must. Connective relationships vs chance meetings, who wins? Hall passes. Non accordance. Different opportunities and routes toward healthy communication between couples, especially in relation to fantasy. Overcoming shame based backgrounds. Why sex is great in your 40s. Tips for spicing it up and acknowledging love languages. Being a business woman and working in erotica. An excerpt from Tracy and a deep dive into Luke's episode, "Act Natural". Believe it or not there's more, but you'll have to press play to find out.
Gina Gutierrez is cofounder and CEO of Dipseas. She is insatiably curious about why people think, feel, and want what they do. She's currently applying that curiosity to female sexuality & empowerment with Dipsea - the platform where sexual wellness meets storytelling. As a seasoned brand builder, she's helped companies like Facebook, Google, Reebok, ThirdLove, DoorDash, and StitchFix find unexpected opportunities to make meaningful connections with their customers.
Dipsea believes sexual wellness is essential. Storytelling is powerful. All you need is you. You are entitled to feel good in your body. Recognizing what brings you pleasure makes you more alert to all the other ways joy should be showing up in your life. Tapping into your sexual powers is a step on the journey to asserting that power everywhere. Great stories illuminate the parts of yourself you may have lost touch with, or have yet to discover. They give you ideas, and meaning, and affirm that you are never alone. They remind you that sex is more than sensation: it’s about chemistry, intimacy, and connection. It’s a radical and freeing realization that the answers to your own pleasure have always been a part of you. By flexing your imagination and getting familiar with your fantasies and boundaries, you’re primed for great sex with yourself and with others.

Seerut Chawla x Navigating The Social Scape Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

Is this real life? When it comes to the convergence of existence and social media it can feel like it at times; especially the influence it can have on individuals, large swaths of movements or mobs. Seerut Chawla, a London based psychotherapist and self proclaimed nerd, joins The Zaddy Zone to discuss social media therapy, bullying, cancel culture, internalized misogyny, concept creep, trauma, gas lighting, love bombing (pop psychology), codifying, tribalism, social self diagnosis, accountability, forgiveness and as always MORE.
Seerut is a psychotherapist based in London, trained at the University of Roehampton in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works using an integrative model (which means incorporating different therapeutic styles) depending on clients and circumstances. Her main modality is psychodynamic psychotherapy which is derivative of the psychoanalytic tradition. The basic premise of her work is helping to understand what has happened, so that to better understand what is happening in the here and now, those can then make meaningful change in their lives.
