Teach Me How To Adult
06/12/24 • 74 min
Contrary to what we’re taught our whole lives, there’s more than one way to engage in sex, love, and relationships. But what does that look like? Today’s episode is an open and vulnerable conversation with Hayley Folk, a sex writer on a mission to create safe spaces to talk about sex and pleasure.
It’s especially important during Pride Month to de-stigmatize sex and sexuality, eradicate judgment, and create safe communities to explore pleasure and identity. So we’re diving deep into ethical non-monogamy, kink, sexual health, boundaries, consent, dating apps, and how to communicate what you want with honesty.
I chat with Hayley Folk, a sex writer whose work has appeared in magazines like Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Elite Daily, and more. She’s the founder of Naked Folk, a publication and podcast that covers the uncomfortable conversations we should be having about sex and relationships.
Trigger warning: After the first hour, we talk about the impact of nonconsensual sex and assault. If this is something you’d like to avoid, you can stop listening after the 1 hour mark.
Tune in to hear more about:
- Ethical non-monogamy 101: Polyamory, open relationships, swinging and more
- Hayley’s journey coming out as queer
- Boundaries and communication for healthy non-monogamous relationships
- Meeting other couples, unicorns, or open partners on apps or play parties
- The “one penis policy”
- Dealing with jealousy and storytelling
- How to get comfortable with dirty talk
- Consuming ethical porn
- Demystifying BDSM and the kink community
- Physical VS verbal kinks
- The importance of aftercare
- Navigating sexual incompatibility
- Consent, respect, and sexual health education
I hope you learn something new about yourself or the spectrum of sexuality from this convo!

Teach Me How To Adult

The body keeps the score, and after years of cognitive therapy work and intellectualizing, I became totally disconnected from how my body was carrying stress and anxiety.
So for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're throwing it back to this deep dive with trauma therapist Simone Saunders on the powerful connection between mind and body healing. We cover how unprocessed trauma physically manifests and evidence-based somatic therapy techniques to release it.

If you want to take control of your mental health and expand your techniques and awareness, this episode is a must-listen.
Simone has a Master's in Clinical Social Work, with a specialization in trauma, emotional regulation, anxiety and depression. As a trauma therapist and educator she has over 800,000 followers across her Instagram and TikTok accounts, the cognitive corner, where she helps people understand the connection between the mind and body and patterns that your nervous system engages in.
Tune in to hear more about:
- Identifying hidden signs of nervous system dysregulation and science-backed regulation techniques
- Understanding freeze, flight, fight and fawn responses: which survival pattern are you stuck in?
- Navigating familial relationships or partnerships that trigger the dysregulation loop
- Unhelpful coping strategies that might make you feel worse
- Cognitive bypassing: The difference between intellectualizing and feeling
- How trauma manifests physically
- What if you can't remember your trauma?
- Somatic therapy approaches for releasing trauma stored in the body

One of the things we’ve been hearing most for the last while (outside of “unprecedented times” and “You’re on mute!”) is that our friends and families are feeling hella burnt out right now.

Listen along as we dive into:
- What burnout really means
- The signs you might be burnt out
- Why we’re all feeling it more than ever
- How social media can contribute to burnout
- How boundaries can help you take back control of your time, energy & wellbeing
- The importance of prioritizing sleep and wellness
- Why you need to slow down and ask for help when you need it
- Mastering your mindset and re-thinking how you measure success
- How to fall in love with your life again and find joy everyday
- Incorporating self-care daily, and not just on #selfcaresunday
- Knowing when it’s time to say “thank you, next!” to your job
We hope this episode helps you prevent or recover from burnout, because you are more than your job and productivity, and you deserve a balanced life. Sending you all lots of love.

Teach Me How To Love My Body And Cultivate Confidence, with Roxy Earle | Summer Rewind
Teach Me How To Adult
07/13/22 • 57 min
For the rest of the summer, we’re doing a Summer Rewind, re-releasing some of our must-listen episodes as we ramp up to the launch of season two. See you in September friends!
Summer can be a very triggering time for a lot of people when it comes to body image and insecurities. We polled you guys on Instagram about how you’re feeling in terms of confidence and self-acceptance, and we learned that we’re definitely not alone in this feeling. 76% of you said that summer triggers your insecurities, while 77% of you are feeling anxious about re-emerging from lockdowns with all the physical and mental changes we’ve undergone. 91% of you said that you struggle with negative self-talk, and we feel you...we can all be our own worst critics and bullies.
That’s why we called in body positivity activist and the Queen of confidence, Roxy Earle. We’re on a mission to help everyone (including ourselves) positively develop the single most important relationship we’ll ever have — our relationship with ourselves. And that requires unconditional self-love, compassion, gratitude and some helpful tools to get us out of negative spirals when we’re struggling with our self-esteem or body image.
Roxy is a former marketing professional turned model, entrepreneur, body positivity activist and a star on Real Housewives of Toronto. She started the #MySizeRox movement, which advocates that confidence comes in all shapes and sizes. She’s worked with brands like Knix, H&M, Le Chateau and Joe Fresh to bring more inclusive sizing and styles to their stores, and is launching the Ana App, which is a tool to increase positivity & confidence while also optimizing your health.
Tune in as we chat about:
- Gill’s mindset shift for dealing with negative spirals, finding pride and respect in herself, and abandoning clothing sizes
- Cailyn’s newfound outlook on self-love & body image as a soon-to-be mom
- The moment that inspired Roxy to start the #MySizeRoxs movement
- How confidence became her secret sauce and how to cultivate it (hint: it’s not genetic, it’s accountability!)
- Roxy’s tips for practicing positive self-talk and self-love daily
- Why Roxy is advocating for inclusivity and representation in the fashion industry
- How a gratitude practice can help you combat insecurities and change your life
- Why filters and body contouring apps are unattainable, exhausting and quite honestly...boring!
- The mindset shift to have a healthier relationship with your body
- The importance of practicing and modelling self-love as a parent
- The #1 tip for looking and feeling your best in photos
We hope this episode inspires you to wear the damn shorts this summer and to start loving yourself unconditionally. You deserve it. And if you need any support on your self-love journey, we’re here for you.
