October 22, 2020#38: Sex, Orgasms, & Masturbation with Emily Nagoski
Ok, this interview is a juicy one!! We are talking with Emily Nagoski about all things SEX like...
how to increase your chances of feeling a climax or orgam - how to talk to your partner about your sexual desires - how to release sexual shame during sex or while masturbating - different ways to masturbate and feel pleasure - how to feel more accepting of how you look "down there" - what sexuality is and what it's not - and so. much. more
Emily Nagoski is a writer, sex educator, researcher, activist, and self proclaimed nerd. Emily went to Indiana University for a M.S. in Counseling Psychology and she continued on to earn a Ph.D. in Health Behavior with a concentration in human sexuality. Now, she is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller, Come As You Are: the surprising new science that will transform your sex life. Her new book, Burnout, was released in 2019 which she co-authored with her sister Amelia to help women end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling not enough.
I have been dreaming of this interview with Emily ever since I read Come As You Are 4 years ago! It's a book I recommend to anyone who wants to get to know their body better and feel more informed, educated, and empowered by their sexuality. It truly will transform your sex life and how you see your sexuality in general!

October 08, 2020#36: Feminism, Body-Image, & Unf*cking Your Brain with Kara Loewentheil
This episode is going down as one of our favorites! In this episode Mary is joined by Kara Loewentheil who talks about how we can use thought work to retrain our brains and ultimately change our reality. Kara uses a very unique approach that combines life coaching and feminism to empower women to think, see, and feel better about themselves. In this episode Kara explains how to...
think better thoughts about your body - recognize the link between the patriarchy and our negative thoughts - use feminism and thought work to combat the pressures of beauty standards - apply thought work to social justice issues and create positive change in this world - manage our mind to feel less stressed, anxious, and negative - and so much more!
Kara is a Master Certified Coach with a B.A. from Yale and J.D. from Harvard Law. Kara is the host of the iTunes top-rated self-help podcast Unfck Your Brain which has been downloaded 10M times, and she has been featured in outlets like Marie Claire, Mind Body Green, MSN.com, and The Huffington Post.
This episode goes deep in many different directions so we recommend taking notes as you're listening and letting the message sink in.

September 10, 2020 #32: Tools for Self-Compassion with Dr. Kristin Neff
In this episode, Mary interviews the pioneer of self-compassion research: Dr. Kristin Neff. Although our society puts much focus on building self-esteem, Dr. Kristin explains why self-compassion is a much more useful and impactful place to focus on. From soothing symptoms of depression and anxiety to helping us be kinder to others, self-compassion is key to greater well-being, especially for women. Dr. Kristin generously shares tips and tools that will help you be kinder to yourself during difficult times.
In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on self-compassion, Dr. Kristin is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. She received her doctorate from UC Berkeley, studying moral development and then did 2 years of postdoctoral study at the University of Denver studying self-concept development. During Kristin’s last year of graduate school she became interested in Buddhism and has been practicing meditation ever since. While doing her post-doctoral work she decided to conduct research on self-compassion – a central construct in Buddhist psychology and one that had not yet been examined empirically until Dr. Kristin created a scale to measure the concept. Dr. Kristin is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed a training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook as well as Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals.

August 27, 2020 #30: Tips for Bad Body-Image Days
No matter how long you've been on this self-love journey, bad body-image days happen to all of us. But it's how we deal with those tough days that make a huge difference in our overall confidence. In this episode, Mary shares her best tips for those negative body-image days. Whether you woke up feeling bloated or not feeling super confident in your skin, there are ways that you can shift your mindset and not let those negative thoughts affect you.
This episode is a mix of mindset advice and practical tips, so we hope they help heal body-image struggles and love yourself unconditionally. Remember, you are so much more than a body. Your body is the least interesting thing about you. And you don't deserve to spend your life obsessing over your body. You deserve so much more self-love.

{TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorders} In this video I come clean about my lifelong eating disorder and how bikini competitions made it that much worse. I also talk about my bulimia and binge eating disorder and what helped me finally recover.
