During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love". After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed how little guidance leaders received when navigating cancer, health crisis, or death on their team. She knew their lack of knowledge negatively affected morale, employee engagement, and productivity. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched her business to support leaders and coworkers when cancer (or any health crisis) affects a team member. Kim Hamer is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support a friend or coworker. She's also an HR leader and speaker who lives in Los Angeles where she tries not to bother her relatively well-behaved college-aged children.

What is fawning? How do we find our authentic sexuality? How does trauma affect our ability to be in our bodies and in turn, experience pleasure? Find out in this week's episode of The Learn to Love Podcast, where your host Zach Beach interviews the incredible author, researcher, and sex educator, Nischa Heron Phair on Your Guide to Fawning. For more on this episode click here: https://www.the-heart-center.com/ep-99-your-guide-to-fawning-with-nischa-heron-phair/ Learn more about your guest below: Nischa Heron Phair is an author, researcher, traumainformed sex educator and the founder of SomaBody Trauma Informed Pleasure Work®. She has been a trauma-informed teacher, facilitator and embodiment coach for 14 years working with thousands of clients in that time. Nischa initially began studying the connections between fawning and sex in 2016 to better understand her own experiences. She now works almost exclusively with female survivors and those recovering from toxic relationships to help them address fawning during intimacy and heal their relationships to pleasure. “Fawn: When No Looks Like Yes” is the first book to ever be written about fawning in the context of sex and consent. In addition to sounding the alarm, Phair attempts to answer the million-dollar question: “how can sex and intimacy thrive in a post-#metoo, postpandemic reality?” Part exposé, part self-study guide, part memoir, “Fawn” is a rousing call to celebrate our authentic sexuality and to invite more intention and integrity into our sex lives and relationships, whether they be casual or long term.
