Let's talk about societal norms around sexuality and how they impact your journey of self-discovery. It's a wild ride!
Karine Bedard is The Sex Positive Relationship Designer and host of Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast. Her mission is to help people Break Free from the Societal and Religious boxes that we have been programmed into that keep us from the ability to live Sexually Authentic lives. She is normalizing Ethical Non-Monogamy (open relationships) as an equally beautiful option to Monogamy so that people realize that they have Choices about what kind of relationships they can design for themselves.
She learned, in a very painful way, that not honouring your authenticity and truly loving yourself is destructive to your mental health and all of the other connections in your life. It is not selfish, it is necessary! She wants to help you transform and design the life and relationship of your dreams.
Main points from the show:
Self-discovery and meeting one's own needs are crucial, but it can create pressure on a partner.
Sex positivity has a positive impact, enabling consensual and open relationships.
Discussion about growing up in a conservative religious environment and conforming to societal and religious expectations regarding sexuality and monogamy.
Exploring your own ideal relationship, wherever that lies on the spectrum.
