Join us for an enlightening journey as we uncover the profound impact of mental health on relationships and sexual well-being, alongside our esteemed guest, Dr. Stephanie Sigler, a renowned clinical sexologist and licensed professional counselor. We're taking a deep dive into the intricacies of the mind-body connection, unveiling how therapy can alleviate underlying issues such as trauma, abuse, and mental health disorders, ultimately enhancing overall well-being and sexual function.
Navigating the complex stages of grief is no easy feat; supporting a loved one through this process can be even more challenging. We'll guide you through this labyrinth, discussing the different stages of grief and offering advice on being a pillar of support for those you hold dear. We don't shy away from the delicate topic of suicide, accentuating the vital importance of empathy over judgment. Remember, grief is not constrained by time; the need to provide a safe space for your loved ones during their difficult times is paramount.
Depression is a winding road, often paved with despair. Sharing personal experiences, we'll highlight the differences between situational and chronic depression, aiming to shed light on the complexities of this mental health disorder. Compassion, understanding, and support are essential tools in this fight against the darkness. Above all, we want to remind you that reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, and there's always someone willing to hold your hand in this journey. Tune in, as we provide resources and encourage everyone to reach out before making life-altering decisions. This isn't just about mental health; it's about human resilience in the face of adversity. Your feelings are valid, and remember, you're never alone.

Age Gaps, Healthy Conversations, and the Bedroom: A Lively Chat
Get ready to shatter some taboos! Together with Erin, we're diving headfirst into the rarely discussed territory of sexuality and aging. Shedding light on the common misconceptions, we hold a frank conversation on the importance and benefits of maintaining an active love life at any age. Spoiler alert - age is not just in the mind, but also in the body. You might find yourself chuckling or nodding along as we share personal anecdotes and the silly things we did when we thought we were invincible.
Are you ready to unlock the secret to brain health? Here's a hint: it involves the bedroom. Recent studies have unveiled a remarkable correlation between an active sex life and improved mental well-being. No matter the frequency or the quality of your intimate encounters, there's a good chance you are doing wonders for your brain health. With a light-hearted approach, we unpack these findings, while also sharing a personal journey to maintaining an active sex life at the age of 83 post-prostate surgery.
And, just when you thought things couldn't get more interesting, we venture into the realm of age gaps in relationships, the fine art of sexual communication, and the critical need for a positive discussion around sex as we advance in age. We also share our own experiences, like that one time at a blowjob class, and recount tales of navigating relationships with younger partners. So, buckle up for an enlightening ride, filled with laughter, grace, and a sprinkle of cheekiness. Let's talk openly about sex, aging, and everything in between!

Modeling Adventures, Squashing and Body Positivity: An Update with Vivienne Rose
You remember Vivienne Rose from two years ago, right? Our favorite squishing smothering goddess graced our podcast with her presence once again. Vivian gives us an intimate peek into her glamorous life as a SSBBW model and her love for New York. With tales of her work trips and her preference for taking road trips over flying, she paints a vivid picture of her exciting modeling journey. We also got an update on her health after her illness during the recent holidays, and we’re thrilled to report she's back in action!
Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of being a professional model in the world of travel and photography. Besides modeling, we discuss the untapped potential of voice work in apps aimed at enhancing intimacy for couples. Speaking of intimacy, we address our co-host Beth's challenging time and how your support has been invaluable.
From Vivienne's social media advertising journey in the adult industry to Vivienne's insightful take on body positivity and fetish modeling, we had some enlightening conversations. Vivienne enlightened us about her clientele, their various kinks, and the moral implications of her work. On the other hand, Vivienne helped dispel the common misconceptions about the fetish modeling industry and shed some light on her upcoming collaborations. We also discuss the poignant issues of fatphobia and the impact of social media on body image.
