In this episode, we welcome Emily Gay, an able-bodied, cis woman who has carved out a remarkable career in sexual wellness. Originally from the East Coast but with a love for the mostly warm climate of Southern California, Emily's journey into human sexuality was both unexpected and fulfilling. From aspiring to work with animals as an exotic animal behaviorist and a vet tech to finding her passion with humans as a nanny, birth doula, and now a sexuality educator, Emily's diverse experiences have shaped her unique approach to her work. Emily brings over six years of expertise as a Birth Doula, Life Coach, and Family Manager. Her background in Family Studies & Human Development, coupled with certified training in Sexuality Education, provides her with a comprehensive perspective on family dynamics and sexual health. Emily's mission is to empower individuals and couples through education, self-love, and confidence, guiding them towards happier, more fulfilling intimate relationships. In this engaging episode, we dive into several key topics:

• What sex education was like for millennials
• The concept of celibacy and its impact on sexual wellness
• Male body shame and the journey to overcoming it
• The process of working through shame to discover pleasure
• The role of educators in gendered work
