The Ugly Truth
Friday Apr 05, 2024
Friday Apr 05, 2024
In this less formal episode, I'm exposing the romantic-comedy The Ugly Truth.
Although The Ugly Truth did its best to victimize the leading lady, Abby, after rewatching it, it's clear that the leading man, Mike, is the true victim here.
Listen now to hear why I believe Abby is actually the problem, why labelling Mike misogynistic is ridiculous, and where I stand on Mike's relationship advice.

Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
In the last episode, Jordan D'Nelle introduced us to the four stages of the menstrual cycle. Our conversation briefly touched upon the intriguing concept of bleeding with the Moon and its symbolic significance.
And yes, while many Western scientific studies dismiss any correlation between the Moon and menstrual cycles, numerous cultures and ancient traditions, such as ancient Egypt, India, and China, firmly believe in their connection.
This is why today's episode is dedicated to exploring each phase of the Moon and its implications for menstrual cycles.
Listen now to hear the meanings behind the red, white, pink, and purple moon cycles and what each cycle of the Moon represents concerning our menstrual cycle.

Intro to Menstrual Cycles + Jordan D’Nelle
Monday Mar 25, 2024
Monday Mar 25, 2024
In this episode, we are joined by Pleasure Positive Intimacy Coach, Physician Associate, Sexual Health Educator, speaker and the Founder of the Vaginas, Vulvas, and Vibrators Podcast, Jordan D’nelle.
Jordan will share the basics of what a menstrual cycle really entails and cover subjects such as what is a “normal” versus non-normal flow, what activities are best for each phase, and what fake period blood is.
Jordan’s goal is to inspire women to find power in their sexuality, create a pleasure-filled life in and out of the bedroom, and have more taboo conversations about sexuality, sexual intimacy, women’s health and relationships that specifically affect women. Jordan wants to help normalize women’s sexual health and create a safe space for women to feel validated.
In her 13 years of experience, she has helped many women overcome shame and have better intimacy with themselves and their partners. She has also been featured in Cosmopolitan magazine, Women’s Health Magazine, and many other podcasts.

When faced with trauma or in a situation that brings you back to a place of past traumas, there are several different ways that someone could respond or react.
Depending on our personality, current support network, how we were raised, or what type of coping mechanisms we have in place, just to name a few, can and will influence how we react to particular stimuli.
This is why, in today's episode, we are exploring the spectrum of trauma responses beyond fight or flight.
