February 23, 2021... my PMS led me to anti-depressants? with ME (host takeover!) #12
Host takeover!! This week I’m the guest, talking about my struggle with working out what’s ‘normal’ when it comes to my hormones and mental health. A huge thank you to Holly Maunders for taking over as host today and sharing her experiences too!
We cover:
How I’ve tried to manage Premenstraul Syndrome, from contraception to acceptance

How and why I decided to start anti-depressants for PMS, and what luteal-phase dosing is.

Why it’s SO hard to understand, talk about, and treat PMS and how you can get empowered with knowledge.

Why it’s a completely individual choice.

We discuss the stigma around medicating for PMS and mental health generally.
We share our experiences (we're not medical professionals). If you want to know more about managing PMS or are concerned about your mental health, please speak to a doctor or mental health professional.

February 09, 2021... to want your intimate needs met by more than one person? With Sky Studley #10
This week I’m talking to Sex & Relationship Coach, Sky Studley, about how she’s navigated divorce, being a single parent and learning what her intimate needs are (and where she wants to get them met!). This week we’re on a shame busting mission!
We cover a lot of ground in this episode...
What are intimate needs? Emotional, sexual, physical, intellectual. And how do you ‘outsource’ these when you’re in a relationship?

Confronting the shame that comes with wanting more in a society set up for traditional monogamy.

Dispelling myths about ENM (ethically non-monogamous relationships e.g. polyamoury) and how these relationships can lead to better communication.

How the romantic fairytale adds to our confusion, frustration and guilt around what we want from our relationships.
