Leah joins Danielle of Marriage & Martinis to talk about why Danielle's conversation with her husband  about intimacy and pleasure was explosive and chaotic. Leah breaks down what we need to remember during these very tough conversations: we’ve been conditioned differently from the time we’re very young, and are often simply adhering to the roles we’ve been instructed to fulfill. They talk about why we can’t always trust our bodies’ physical responses during intimacy, games that can be played in lieu of telling our partner, “we’re not satisfied” as means to get a similar message across, and so much more.

Leah delves into a deeply personal topic: how trauma and mental health have impacted her ability to show up authentically. She talks about the impact her demanding, charismatic father had on her psyche and sense of safety. In admitting her fear of being viewed as not good enough or too much like their father, Leah discusses the creation of a performative persona and the desire to shift to a more authentic voice.  Full show notes:  www.goodgirlstalk.com/posts/podcast/identity-crisis   Update:  Since this episode was released, the podcast has concluded.

In this replay of our landmark 100th episode, Ar Blia is a listener-turned-guest who has been untangling early experiences of trauma, limiting cultural beliefs, and confusing desires to first explore and then advocate for her own pleasure. Even within the constricts of a conservative community, she has been able to find adventure, find herself, and find a partner who truly works for her. Ar Blia is a 27-year-old cisgender female. She describes herself as straight, monogamous, Asian Hmong American, and partnered with her boyfriend of five years. She describes her body as average (though by white American standards many of us would probably consider her petite.)

A few months back, I was pleased to be a guest on the Life After Diets podcast with Sarah Dosanjh and Stefanie Michele. They have kindly allowed me to share that episode with you - and it's a great one! We focus on how body image and sex are related - and will losing weight actually help your confidence? We also talk about topics including: The typical female avatar; why would we assume anyone would like our body just as it is?? The issue of TRUST when it comes to what our partner thinks of us What if my partner is not interested in me since I’ve gained weight? Socialization of females to fix things and make things better for everyone Confidence and weight; chicken or egg? How disconnected we have become from our bodies and how we feel Full show notes:  www.goodgirlstalk.com/posts/podcast/life-after-diets   Update:  Since this episode was released, the podcast has concluded.
