Intimate Interactions

What’s your relationship like with your own body? Is it intimate? Do you love your body? Do you love yourself? These are foundational questions in body positivity and improving your self relationship. Professor Meow #notarealprofessor discusses body positivity with respect to her experiences in life drawing, dominance and submission relationships, rope bondage, and much more. Join us for another great discussion! (Episode 16)

My focus in relationship interviews is helping flesh out the experiences that inform where a person is today: who they are and what relationship values they hold. In this podcast, my guest excels at ruthless honesty, being self critical of her struggles, learning experiences, and failings along the way. She certainly doesn’t make herself out to be anyone special. Yet I find her vulnerable, public transparency boldly authentic. (Episode 8)

If you’re a masculine person as I frequently am, anger is sometimes frightening to others, especially if they’ve seen masculine violence which is likely. In today’s session we’ll ask guiding questions like “where is it safe to express and process anger” or is your anger productive, useful, directed appropriately, and from your immediate situation. We’ll discuss strategies and share anecdotes.
