Sophie Hallwright's T-O-Diary piece ‘SEXUALITY (specifically mine)' sparked such a powerful response, so we decided to bring the conversation to the podcast. Sophie received an outpour of messages from people relating to her experiences with body image, femininity and pleasure. This topic certainly struck a chord with many. In this episode, Elise and Ella chat with Sophie, unpacking all things sexuality and the convo gets JUICY!No stone is left unturned as we talk dating, creativity, orgasms, shame and vulnerability. We explore what it feels like to reclaim pleasure and sensuality, and to embrace being unapologetically ourselves. Enjoy listening!You know the drill.
