The Nude Episode: Power, Pleasure, and Really Good Lighting


Listen Later

From first-time mirror selfies to the chaotic legacy of the front-camera flash, nudes sit right at the intersection of desire, confidence, shame, and self-expression. In this episode, we dig into why sending (or NOT sending) nudes reveals so much about our boundaries, our body image, and how we connect today. We share personal stories, cultural double standards, and the surprising ways nudes can make us feel powerful, not pressured.

In this episode, we talk:

📸 What our earliest experiences with nudes taught us about desire, validation, and intimacy 
🔥 How taking nudes can actually build confidence and reshape body image 
🚫 Consent, safety, and the ethics of sharing (or never sharing) someone else's photo 
👀 The gender divide: why male nudes get mocked and women’s get mythologized 
✨ What makes a good nude, emotionally and aesthetically 
💞 Whether nudes deepen connection or mostly live in short, sparkly moments 

Plus: Meaghan serves a mini masterclass on taking a gorgeous nude: lighting, angles, lingerie, and the subtle tricks that make all the difference.
