In this replay of our landmark 100th episode, Ar Blia is a listener-turned-guest who has been untangling early experiences of trauma, limiting cultural beliefs, and confusing desires to first explore and then advocate for her own pleasure. Even within the constricts of a conservative community, she has been able to find adventure, find herself, and find a partner who truly works for her.

Ar Blia is a 27-year-old cisgender female. She describes herself as straight, monogamous, Asian Hmong American, and partnered with her boyfriend of five years. She describes her body as average (though by white American standards many of us would probably consider her petite.)

A few months back, I was pleased to be a guest on the Life After Diets podcast with Sarah Dosanjh and Stefanie Michele. They have kindly allowed me to share that episode with you - and it's a great one!

We focus on how body image and sex are related - and will losing weight actually help your confidence?

We also talk about topics including:

• The typical female avatar; why would we assume anyone would like our body just as it is??
• The issue of TRUST when it comes to what our partner thinks of us
• What if my partner is not interested in me since I've gained weight?
• Socialization of females to fix things and make things better for everyone
• Confidence and weight; chicken or egg?
• How disconnected we have become from our bodies and how we feel

When Caitlin left her marriage, she found herself exploring sex as a single woman and discovering new interests. Through coaching with Leah, she admitted to herself that she might be interested in queer sex. This led to a realization that everything she thought was true about herself shattered, similar to a glass shelf breaking. She is finding freedom in exploring her desires and leaving behind what no longer serves her.

In this coaching conversation, Caitlin and Leah talk about how she can dip her toe into queer dating.

Chandra grew up in the 7th Day Adventist church, which she equates to a cult. She faults the church for being an educational, social, and religious system that neither acknowledges nor teaches that consent exists for women. She became (mildly) rebellious, experimented with illicit hand-holding, got married, got out, and then embarked on a season of further discovery.

Chandra is a 29-year-old, cisgender female. She grew up in the 7th Day Adventist Church in the United States and describes herself as mixed race including Black, white, Chinese, and east Indian. She is bisexual, single, and has no children. She said her preferred relationship style is "honest." She describes her body as average.
