    Ivy Insights

    The Ladies Talking Love podcast is an incredible resource for women seeking to explore and understand their own bodies, emotions, and sexuality. Hosted by Ariel, this podcast provides a safe space for open conversations about topics that are often considered taboo. Ariel's genuine passion and authenticity shine through in every episode, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere for listeners.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the variety of topics covered. From modesty culture to body acceptance to navigating relationships, each episode delves into important issues that impact women's lives. The guests invited onto the show are knowledgeable and credible individuals who provide valuable insights and expertise. Ariel's thoughtful questions and willingness to learn alongside her listeners make this podcast a truly educational experience.

    Another standout aspect of The Ladies Talking Love is the sense of community it fosters. Women from all walks of life can relate to the experiences shared on this podcast, fostering a sense of connection and understanding. It is refreshing to hear discussions that challenge societal norms and offer alternative perspectives on topics such as sex and intimacy. This podcast serves as a reminder that every woman's journey is unique, but we are all navigating similar challenges and emotions.

    While it may be difficult to find any drawbacks to this podcast, one minor criticism could be its focus solely on women's experiences. While it is understandable that the primary target audience is women, it would be beneficial to also include discussions that help men better understand women's needs and experiences. Additionally, expanding the scope of topics covered could attract an even wider audience.

    In conclusion, The Ladies Talking Love podcast offers an invaluable platform for women seeking education, empowerment, and connection surrounding issues related to their bodies, emotions, and sexuality.

    I remember feeling fearful as I watched my young children start to explore their bodies. I didn't want to create shame around their sexuality, but I didn't know how to handle the situation. The more I've learned about this topic, the more I understand that self-touch is a natural part of a child's development and can be handled in simple ways that align with my beliefs around masturbation. Coming from a faith tradition where masturbation is not encouraged, I wanted to bring someone on who could help parents learn to handle these situations in a sex positive way while also staying true to their personal beliefs. Tune in to hear tips and thoughts about how to handle young children's self-touching.   Dr. Busby's co-authored books include: A Better Way to Teach Kids about Sex Sexual Wholeness in Marriage   This podcast does not replace professional or medical advice.
