The road to reclaiming consent is extra-long when it begins at age 3, and even more complicated by undiagnosed mental health disorders. For Deidre, a lifetime of sexual assault and a growing substance problem led to a rock bottom that included a BPD diagnosis. Today she's feeling healthy mentally and in a wonderful new relationship. Deidre is a 31-year-old non-binary person who uses both she and they pronouns and doesn’t have a preference for either one. Deidre describes herself as white, lesbian, monogamous, and partnered. She grew up in Canada and now lives in Germany. She describes her body as average.   Support the show: www.patreon.com/goodgirlstalkaboutsex Full show notes:  https://www.goodgirlstalk.com/posts/podcast/bpd-and-hsv-deidre

Herpes isn't as stigmatized in Europe - Deidre

Deep conversations with women about their personal experience of sex and female sexuality.

Sex and Intimacy Coach Leah Carey hosts the type of conversations you usually only have with your best girlfriend late at night over a bottle of wine. Leah interviews people (including people brought up as little girls plus transgender women) of all sizes, shapes, ages, orientations, relationship structures, kink levels, races, religions, cultural backgrounds, and more.

The conversations on Good Girls Talk About Sex are warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental. You are likely to hear stories that reflect your own experiences and let you know that you're not alone. You're also likely to hear stories that broaden your ideas about what is "normal" and introduce you to exciting new experiences!

You will probably LOVE this show if:
* You crave late-night conversations with friends about sex
* You've ever wondered if your sexual needs, desires, or fantasies are "normal"
* You're curious about sex but don't have anyone in your life to talk about it with

You will probably NOT LIKE this show if:
* You are uncomfortable hearing people talk about sex and their bodies in frank terms
* You are uncomfortable with swearing and/or raw displays of emotion
* You believe sex should only happen between a man and a woman within the confines of marriage

Most guests appear anonymously so they're free to tell the good, the bad, and the titillating! These conversations are explicit but never salacious.

In this coaching episode, Sophilia asks: why does she keep ending up in relationships where things don’t feel right, and the entire weight of making it better falls on her? Leah works with Sophilia to:  understand the red flags for this type of relationship, the communication skills that will help screen them out, rethink her own experience of being turned on.  Sophilia is a 39-year-old, cisgender woman. She describes herself as queer, single, and multi-racial with a white mother and Black father. In the past she’s been in monogamous relationships, but currently prefers the idea of being in open relationships. She describes her body as curvy and muscular. Leah offers valuable insights and tools to help Sophilia and all listeners to screen potential partners.

Find the red flags! - Coaching Sophilia

Last year I found myself in the middle of a shitstorm for daring to expose a community leader's abusive behavior. Today I tell the whole story. The backlash was immediate and intense, with DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) tactics used to paint me as the problem. Suddenly, I was not just standing as a representative of this man’s abuse, but also receiving harassment and ostracization from those I once considered my community. Sharing this story isn't just about telling you what’s going on; it's about shining a light on the dark corners of abuse and systemic failure. It's a call to action for change, support, and understanding for those who have had their voices silenced. ALSO: I clarify my pricing structure for coaching and how I serve people with financial challenges.   BEYOND PERMISSION classes: www.beyondpermission.com Apply for a free coaching session: www.goodgirlstalk.com/session  Become a client: www.leahcarey.com/coaching Support the show: www.patreon.com/goodgirlstalkaboutsex Full show notes:  www.goodgirlstalk.com/posts/podcast/consent-darvo
