dirty talk.

What is it really like to transition as a transgender woman?

In this powerful and important episode of Under The Sheets with Tatiana Ashborn & Friends, I'm joined by Betty, a specialist domestic assault support worker, to answer the questions so many people are afraid to ask.

What really affects your libido? Why is sex education still missing so much? And how do religion, culture and reality TV shape the way we view sex and relationships?

We get into:

• Dating in today’s world

• How Lindsey met her husband Russell Kane

• Her experience with a nose job

• Childhood and growing up

• Celebrity encounters

Professional matchmaker Lisa Holley Palmer joins the podcast to talk about modern dating, relationship myths, and the real stories she’s seen while helping people find love.

Most people talk about sex, relationships, and marriage in fragments.

In this funny and deeply moving episode of Under the Sheets with Tatiana Ashborn, I sit down with The Gavin Sisters, Sharon and Loretta, to talk honestly about love, loss, sisterhood, and rebuilding life from scratch. The sisters share their very real dating disasters, from ankle-tag confessions to painfully awkward first kisses, alongside heavier moments like divorce, being left while pregnant, and navigating single motherhood. They explain how moving in together became a natural decision, raising their children as one family while supporting each other through illness, burnout, and major life changes. Sharon opens up about living with a severe autoimmune disease and how stress, sobriety, and a plant-based lifestyle slowly helped her recover. Together, they talk about stepping away from dating apps, choosing peace over pressure, and finding fulfilment through friendship, purpose, comedy, and their wellness retreats. ------------------------------------------- This isn’t about perfect relationships or fairy-tale love. It’s about honesty, boundaries, and choosing peace over chaos. You may find some of these issues troubling. Viewer discretion advised.

In this fabulous episode, Tatiana sits down with long-term couple Chris & Catherine, who have been together since they were just 13 years old. From friends with benefits at school parties to building a real adult life together, their story spans over 11 years of growing up side by side. They talk openly about first times, insecurity, jealousy, and how love changes from your teens into adulthood. They share how learning each other’s love languages, communicating without shouting, and staying emotionally connected helped them stay together through busy and difficult phases. They also open up about sex, intimacy, mismatched sex drives, scheduling time for each other, money, living together, and getting engaged. The episode ends with honest reflections on marriage, pressure to have children, and choosing not to rush major life decisions just because everyone else expects it.

In this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode, Tatiana sits down with married couple Jacky & Eleanor to explore their five-year battle to start a family: three miscarriages, three rounds of IVF, DNA fragmentation, surgery, over £50k spent, and the miracle pregnancy that finally changed everything.

Came out at 32. Thought he’d wasted 12 years. Now he runs Attitude Magazine and Rolling Stone UK - and has Elton John on speed dial.

In this episode I sit down with Darren Styles OBE, who talks openly about the years he spent hiding who he was before finally stepping into himself. We discuss the twelve-year journey it took to convince Elton John to do a feature, the wild and chaotic reality behind some magazine shoot VPLs (visible penis lines), and the real work and honesty that marriage can demand.

This is a conversation about identity, courage, pride, and loving yourself enough to become who you were always meant to be.

Believe in yourself, always. 🏳️‍🌈✨
