Humans are meant to connect. To be touched. To form relationships. When that doesn't happen, there's a real negative physical impact to a person. So how do you get that need met when most of the population is under some sort of physical restriction or full on quarantine?  On this episode, I'm joined by Leah Carey, the host of the Good Girls Talk About Sex podcast and the Covid Confidential: Behind Closed Doors series on YouTube. We have a very candid conversation about her journey of sexual self-discovery and how to get touch hunger needs met in a way that helps you thrive.  Connect with Leah directly at https://www.leahcarey.com/

On this episode of Shiny Things with Lisa Mitchell, I have not one, but two dating and relationships experts who happen to be married to each other after meeting on Match.com. Coaches Mark & Michaela Logue have an awesome story about how they met, how they got to where they are now, and how they are helping other people find love and healthy relationships in the digital dating space. They spend a lot of time unpacking the process of preparing yourself before you even post a profile and how to be intentional about owning what you really want from the very beginning. 

In this episode of Shiny Things with Lisa Mitchell I'm joined by the dynamic life & love coach, Jenee Michelle. She challenges us to think deeper about where our love beliefs originated, evaluate if those beliefs are serving us or hurting us, and giving some insight into how to make shifts in our love beliefs to find what really fits best for us where we are today.
