Ep. 41: What Women Want: Let's Talk About Sex with Taylor-leigh

Today my friend Marcus Stanback makes his third visit to the pod. We explore how he and his life have evolved in the four years since divorcing his high school sweetheart; how sexual exploration, yoga, and cultivating self-love have helped Marcus find his way to more authentic living; the practice of transparent communication and how it has allowed him to experience more of the love and relationships he desires; and so much more! Check out our previous conversations in episode 6 and episode 33.

Today we're joined by Tiffany Chambers Goldberg, a sensuality coach who helps women tap into their sensuality to improve their range of motion, ease pain, and empower themselves. This is a big, juicy conversation exploring: - the disconnect many women feel from their femininity and the impact it has on their lives - the journey of embracing sensuality and the continual growth and learning that comes with it - physical pain and its connection to emotional states - aging, impermanence, and the fear of death - healing sister wounds - how sensuality and pleasure can nourish and feed all aspects of life - navigating a long-term relationship, marriage, and social judgment when on a path of transformation - the practice of howling and its connection to permission, shame, and pleasure and much more!

My sister Anna joins us today, for her third visit to the podcast. Anna's marriage ended two years ago. Together we explore the complexities of love and relationship post-divorce: fear of loss, capacity to love again, self-love, jealousy, communication, sexuality, and finding grace through the many iterations of self and relationship. If you'd like to listen to other conversations with Anna, find them here: episode 30 and episode 34.

Choosing divorce was one of the biggest things I have done for my life--and HARD. And there have been many unexpected gifts in navigating it, along with the dynamic of co-parenting afterward. Choosing divorce has allowed me to prioritize my happiness and joy while still being present for and growing with my kids. If you're considering or navigating divorce, perhaps my story may support you to embrace the grieving process and see divorce as an opportunity for growth and expansion.

Today, my lover Jason (aka Jazzy) returns to the pod. Together we reflect on Naked 40, the nude portrait project and gallery show that we co-created as a way to celebrate my 40th birthday. We talk about the inspiration behind the four-month-long project, what it was like to hold space for and create with dozens of friends, and how this experience changed us. We also share news about some upcoming opportunities to make nude art with us! Find Jazzy on Instagram here.

We're back, y'alls! Back for more real talk, because that's what Sexy Sunday is all about. Today I'm here for a solo session, about a recent night out dancing by myself. I consciously chose to let myself be seen. To be big and take up space and to embrace the eyes watching me. This is about how I found dance in me, how I gave myself permission to move like the sexiest person in the room. And where the night took me.

Shame comes from stories we tell ourselves. We can change those stories. Taylor and I talk about our early childhood sex conversations, performance, productivity, libido, masturbation and squirting, and more.Instagram account referenced: Dr. Uchenna "UC" Ossai @youseelogicBrené Brown quote: "Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grown. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed, and rare."

We begin this one talking about the song WAP. Yep. This is a full on party! Taylor and I speak directly from our female-identifying experiences. What do women want to give to their partners? How does surrender come to play? What about the word honor? What do we want? Do we get turned on by the end again?? Do you??This episode is part of an ongoing series called "Let's Talk about Sex" with my friend Taylor. Our goal is to normalize conversations like this to encourage others to do the same. We believe it will create stronger and more enjoyable relationships with ourselves and partners if more people are talking about sex.

Communication is so much more than just words. It's meaning what you say AND saying what you mean. Selfish honesty asks us to look INSIDE rather than responding the way we "think" someone wants us to. It's observing. It's reflection. It's important for all genders to be acknowledged for their brains and emotions to feel well f---ked in our bodies. Teaser word: toes. You're invited to practice paying attention to what you really want and owning it.  This episode is part of an ongoing series called "Let's Talk about Sex" with my friend Taylor. Our goal is to normalize conversations like this to encourage others to do the same. We believe it will create stronger and more enjoyable relationships with ourselves and partners if more people are talking about sex.
