It’s no question that the sex education we learn at school lacks useful and real-life information, leading to men having an incorrect idea about intimacy or taking cues from porn. In this episode we have Cam Fraser, Australia’s Lead Men’s Sex Coach here to prove that sex education doesn’t end after high school. 

A certified Sexologist, Counselor, Yoga Teacher and Tantric Practitioner with a background in Psychology, Cam tackles the trifecta holistically - which includes the body, mind and sexuality. Cam is a big believer in that fulfilling sex has a huge positive physical, emotional, mental & spiritual impact on any relationship. 

This episode gives us an educated perspective into understanding and managing problems or concerns regarding intimacy, self-pleasure and sexual relationships. 

Things We Mention -

• The contract between men and women’s sexual desires based on our hormone cycles.
• What the “Death Grab” is and how it may be impacting his sexual experience.
• What happens as soon as your man ejaculates.
• How men can improve delayed ejaculation.

PLUS Cam gives us a full breakdown of the most sensitive areas of the penis.

We haven’t touched on dating ep in a while and listening to a friend currently still sifting through the dating pool of men who are barely hitting the bare minimum of effort, we wanted to open the conversation around glamorizing the BARE MINIMUM.

It’s sad that these days basic things such as  respect, time, clarity and compassion are these completely romanticised traits when, shouldn’t these be common human decency.

There’s no arguing that the dating world can be so complicated and murky these days. We wanted to start a thought provoking conversation to get YOU to set out what your bare minimum is, and say no to anything that isn’t that. And not to glamourize it. You are so worthy of your needs being met and everything more! 

Things We Mention - 

• What should the bare minimum requirements be for YOU.
• When the bare minimum may not matter.
• A few tell tale signs that someone is not showing mutual investment.

PLUS, Sarah gives a perfect example of how not to glamourize basic respect in a relationship.

Domestic abuse isn’t always physical. Coercive control is something Hannah Clarke lived with daily throughout her marriage until her husband took the lives of her and her 3 beautiful children, Laianah, Aaliyah and Trey in a horrific attack on February 19th 2020.

For those who aren’t familiar with the term ‘coercion’, it is a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten the victim. 

This controlling behaviour is designed to make a person dependent by isolating them from support, exploiting them, depriving them of independence and regulating their everyday behaviour, and unfortunately it’s happening all around us. 

The murder of Hannah Clarke and her children was a ‘line in the sand’ moment in Australia and in today’s episode we speak to Dave Kramer, an ambassador for Small Steps 4 Hannah on Coercive Control about how the foundation are tackling this issue head on and implementing a much needed change. We have no doubt by the end of this episode that you’ll have a clearer understanding on what Coercive Control means and we all need to play a part in helping push for this change.

Things We Mention -

• What coercive control is and how it can be so easily hidden in plain sight.
• The steps you can take to get support if you’re experiencing coercive control. 
• The importance of facilitating conversations with young men about how to manage their emotions.
• How Small Steps 4 Hannah uses the generous funds raised to support women who are experiencing domestic violence.

PLUS Dave shares with us the Be There App and how helpful it is to determine what kind of support may be needed if you or a loved one is experiencing domestic violence.

Inspired by a hilarious chapter in the book FORTY, we decided to collate a list of things that we just flat out refuse to say YES to moving forward.

We have all experienced people-pleasing, whether it be attending family gatherings when we have other priorities, signing up for committees that we instantly regret, heading out for drinks when we really want to stay in.

This episode is just our own personal list of things we won’t be doing anymore.

We hope it prompts you to consider your own list that ONLY aligns with who you want to be moving forward!

In a world where misogyny is still so prevalent throughout the community, we are so lucky to have a powerful woman like Vanessa Haldane pushing to create change. Our beautiful guest today is the founder of Journey to Worth, which started as a simple blog and has evolved into a global movement where women support and motivate each other and know their worth.

Her foundation aspires to help women be less likely to engage in destructive behaviours and abusive/toxic relationships and rather know how to set healthy boundaries and support other women around them.

Journey to Worth was inspired by Vanessa’s own traumatic history and through this experience has inspired her to build this movement where she provides support to women also experiencing physical, mental and financial hardship

Things we mention: 

• How Vanessa educates her daughters on self worth.
• Vanessa’s pet internet peeves which are destructive for women. 
• How we can improve misogyny within our own thoughts and beliefs.

PLUS we hear Vanessa’s response to our previous guest’s bonus question…
