After an update on my life (college, jobs, and more!), I dive into my experience of starting on anxiety medication. Then, I answer some of your submissions seeking advice about anxiety within relationships, intrusive thoughts, and living a balanced life. I also chat a little about imposter syndrome. Hopefully, this episode can be a toolkit and a pick-me-up for y'all! 

Peace n luv,

Zo

What do you get when you have a girls night with your two best friends from high school? For me, it's a long, heartfelt conversation on change, high school lessons, reflections on past selves, our future, social media, and more vulnerable and raw topics (laughs involved, of course). Whether you're a recent high school grad or anywhere before or after, you'll find something to relate to with all three of us. Get to know Brita and Julia on the *TENTH* episode of Cup of Zo! How did we get here! I don't know! But happy to be here! I love you all!

Get to know me for my very first solo Q&A!! After a little life update, I answer all of your questions about me, life, and more. How do I manifest? What are my life goals? Who had it worse, Betty or August? Favorite song off every Taylor Swift album? What are the long-term effects of this pandemic? I also answer some listener's questions seeking advice, which hopefully can speak to other people's experiences too. I get very opinionated in this one so... buckle up!

STIs, body hair, shame, masturbation, how to orgasm, butt stuff... it's all discussed in this episode. In the second part of my interview with my guest, Martina, we answer all of your questions with zero judgement and all facts (she knows her sh*t). Martina also prompts us to ask ourselves questions like... what are we enjoying? what works for us? do I feel this way in other scenarios? why do I want sex? what is sex for? when do I feel aroused and why? what does it mean to have a healthy sexual relationship with yourself and others?

For the diagram that Martina references for the female reproductive system's anatomy when turned on, click this link: https://www.anatomyofpleasure.org/about (and explore the website!)

TW: sexual violence, coercion, sex. While the topic is sex education, the mere conversation of sex can still be triggering for some folks. The topic of consent, or lack thereof, is also discussed. Do not hesitate to take a pause or stop listening if a lot of strong emotions arise. You are loved and safe here!

In this first part of the "Let's Talk About Sex" episodes, my guest Martina talks about her experience as a sex educator, how she got where she is, shares her valuable perspective on finding your sexuality, educates us on the orgasm gap, sex positivity, and SO much more. The episode is filled with positivity, acceptance, and validation of all of our emotions. Only listen if you feel like getting a metaphorical hug from this woman. 

TW: Sexual violence, sex. While the topic is sex positivity, the mere conversation of sex can still be triggering for some folks. Do not hesitate to take a pause or stop listening if any harsh emotions arise. You are loved and safe here!

You know that feeling when you can't tell if something is your gut telling you something or if it's just nonsense anxiety? Turns out you just need to break up with your boyfriend. Just kidding! All you have to do is start a journey of self-love <3. This solo episode is full of deep shit, advice, and oversharing. I talk about my experience with intuition, exposure therapy, and my current efforts to get to know myself. Enjoy loves!!
