Episode 14: Hosted by Ani Colt: Ani talks with Dr. Susan Kaye:  Today, I recorded a session with my friend Susan Kaye. Susan is a Ph.D., Sexologist, Sexuality Educator, and Surrogate Partner Specialist. As it says on her website, DrSusanKaye.com, she believes that everything begins and ends in connection with our bodies, “I help others to heal and to grow through connecting to this vehicle that takes us through life.” I met her through her work -- as I’d been involved in the sexuality world through a journal I published on spirituality and sexuality. Susan and I spoke about the need for healthy touch. Susan is a woman who feels she is doing what she was meant to do in this life. Born in 1949, Susan is going strong in her work and life at age 70! It was a great gift to do this podcast with Susan and I hope it encourages you as well as entertains. Music by Bensound.com

Epiphany Jordan lives out of the box, and this interview with her helped me discover why she is so darn interesting, starting with her parents. Her Jewish grandfather was on the run from the Nazis right before World War Two started. Her mother was born in Palestine and is half Catholic and half Jewish. Her Muslim father was born in India, and grew up in South Africa. Each came to USC for college. Both of her parents were academics in Reno where Epiphany was born. She shares in the interview about her unique spirituality and that one of her core strengths or pillars of her personality is around nurturing. Epiphany is the author of the book Somebody Hold Me, the single person's guide to nurture human touch, Our recording was done during the COVID-19 pandemic. She said after we are finished with social distancing, “We have a chance to redesign human touch, which has kind of been my mission for a long time.”
