Season 12 is all about PLEASURE and we're kicking things off with a juicy one! This week, DB is joined by Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons—licensed psychologist, sex researcher, and pleasure activist—to talk about what happened when 1,000 people with masturbate for science! The Magic Wand Wellness Study is the first study of its kind to look at how daily masturbation impacts things like sleep, stress, focus, confidence, and body image, and the results were amazing. We talk about why solo pleasure is so often ignored in wellness culture, what DB learned from doing the study herself, and why taking time to get yourself off might actually make you feel better in your body, your brain, and your relationships. If you've been feeling disconnected from your pleasure — especially solo pleasure — this is your gentle nudge (or loud, vibrating one) to come back to it! GUEST DETAILS Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons is an award-winning associate professor at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, where she studies sexual wellness and liberation. She has published over 80 academic articles and has been featured in popular media, including Cosmopolitan, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Essence, Ebony, and the Huffington Post. Her debut book, Good Sex: Stories, Science, and Strategies for Sexual Liberation was published February 2025 by Row House. ABOUT SEASON 12 Season 12 of Sex Ed with DB is ALL ABOUT PLEASURE!

Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by air on June 18th, 1928… but on this occasion didn't actually fly the plane; she was a passenger aboard the Friendship, a three-engine seaplane piloted by Wilmer Stultz and co-piloted by Louis Gordon.  Originally, a wealthy heiress was meant to take the flight, but her family vetoed it as too dangerous. So Earhart, smart, skilled, and camera-ready, was chosen to be “Lady Lindy”, and that one journey launched her into the stratosphere of fame. She wrote a book, became a Cosmopolitan editor, endorsed everything from cigarettes to watches, and even launched her own fashion line.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly revisit Earhart's iconic joyrides, including the one alongside Eleanor Roosevelt; consider the impact of her work to elevate women pilots, given that 95% of pilots are still men; and speculate about one of aviation's greatest mysteries: what happened to her plane on the day she went missing?

“Delicious, decadent, and utterly diabolical. No one serves up a scandal like Asha Elias,” writes author Kirsten Miller about this writer, mother, and reluctant socialite. Asha's acclaimed debut novel, Pink Glass Houses, is a seductive social satire about the wealthy PTA moms of an elite elementary school in Miami Beach. We read it and loved it. Her much-anticipated second novel, The Namaste Club is another delicious page-turner about rich people behaving badly, set among the wellness industrial complex, rich ladies doing yoga, and all things fabulous and Florida. It drops next month with a third in the pipeline as part of a multi-book deal with HarperCollins. Asha graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in print journalism then, fresh out of college, landed at Ocean Drive Magazine, where she spent a decade in ad sales and promotion, becoming intimately familiar with the crazy underbelly of the singular South Beach scene. During this time she became an accomplished yogi. When her first child arrived, Asha opted to be a stay-at-home mom for a few years. Until the lifelong itch to write her first novel became too strong to ignore. Asha has contributed to Cosmopolitan magazine and is currently the sex and dating columnist for Miami New Times. She lives with her family in Miami Beach, Florida.Have a Swan Dive to share?

She graduated cum laude from Princeton University, is a NASM certified trainer and nutrition coach, and lives in Brooklyn with her husband, three children and dog. What We Talk About: How Liz went from burning out in finance to running marathons to lifting heavy The real reason your old nutrition strategy isn't working anymore Why most women are under-eating protein—and what that's doing to your body What amino acids are (and why they're your body's secret weapon after 40) How to actually get enough protein without losing your mind Why “toning” is out—and muscle is in How to use EAAs strategically around training to build and preserve lean mass Why She loves Kion EEAs Key Takeaways: Protein is essential, but not for the reason you think—it's not just for muscle, it's for everything: your brain, immune system, hormones, mood, and metabolism. Most women are dramatically under-eating protein. 40–60g a day is not enough if you're training, aging, or want to change your body composition. Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are a powerful tool to close the gap—especially when timed before training or during travel. You can't out-train a protein deficiency. If your training isn't landing, it might be a fuel problem. Strength is non-negotiable after 40. It's the gateway to power, energy, and the body you want. Power Quotes: “It finally looked like I was working as hard in the gym as I actually was.” “You don't just need protein for muscle—you need it to keep your brain, gut, immune system, and entire body running.” “Your body's going to activate protein synthesis one way or another—if you don't feed it, it'll steal it from your muscle.” “Tracking gives you awareness. Strategy gives you power. But flexibility makes it sustainable.” “If you want to be strong, vibrant, and powerful in your 40s—you have to train differently. And you have to fuel differently.” Connect with Liz: Website: https://www.lizplosser.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizplosser?igsh=MWQ4ZmdzMWswaWZyZg== Substack: https://lizplosser.substack.com To save 20% on Kion EAAS, go to getkion.com/warrior Connect with Amy:

In this deeply resonant conversation, Dr. Lori M. Nixon- Bethea, PhD, LPC, LMHC, NCC, ACSand I explore what it means to live through—and ultimately transcend—the slow burn of chronic disappointment. We begin by sharing the gulf between the lives we built and the dreams we once held, acknowledging the grief that comes from unmet expectations. Dr. Lori recounts her own journey from frustration and self‑reproach to a place of steadfast peace, grounded in the profound realization that life is co‑authored by God, not solely directed by our own hands.As she reflects on seasons when God felt silent, Dr. Lori offers compassionate wisdom: struggle can be a divine instructor, teaching us patience and attuning us to God's perfect timing rather than our hurried agendas. Together, we shed light on a common but overlooked phenomenon—high‑functioning grief. So many of us soldier on, outwardly composed yet inwardly fractured, deploying church‑speak and religious ritual as shields against our own pain.We unpack the phrase “I don't claim that,” often brandished as spiritual armor to deny reality—whether in physical health, mental well‑being, or relational struggle—and examine the hidden cost of such avoidance. Truthfulness, we agree, is the catalyst that begins genuine transformation. By naming our wounds instead of whitewashing them, we break the cycle of compounding trauma that festers when left unaddressed.Recognizing a gap in support systems, we advocate for expanded mental‑health resources and financial‑literacy programs within the church—initiatives that would not only fortify congregants but also protect pastors from burnout. Our dialogue then turns to gendered experiences of therapy: the unique obstacles men face when their struggles are minimized or dismissed, and the critical need for individual counseling before embarking on couples work. We consider how men and women can better bridge their differing emotional landscapes through open communication and mutual understanding.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation—to be honest about where we are, to lean into the hard truths, and to trust that, in our vulnerability, we begin the work of healing and renewal.About Dr. Lori M.

Show notes, PDF & Infographic / Full Book / IN THIS EPISODE: A relationship guide that encourages women to prioritize self-respect, independence, and personal boundaries over traditional submissive relationship dynamics. COPYRIGHT NOTICE and DISCLAIMER: This is a critical, unofficial analysis and review of Why Men Love Bitches. This work is not endorsed or supported by the author or the publisher in any way and falls under Copyright Fair Use. Order the full book to support Sherry Argov and learn the juicy details! TOPICS: self esteem, Independence, women, dating, communication, Relationships KEY FIGURES: Yahoo, Why Men Love Bitches, MSNBC, Vanity Fair, Sheri Argoff, Sherry Argov, Why Men Marry Bitches, People, Us Weekly, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Elle, Maxim, Esquire, Today Show, The View, Fox News Channel, MTV, Billboard, Book Tribe SUMMARY: Sherry Argov's book 'Why Men Love Bitches' offers a counterintuitive guide to relationships, challenging traditional notions of feminine behavior. The book argues that women should avoid being overly accommodating or needy, and instead maintain their independence, self-respect, and personal boundaries. Argoff defines a 'bitch' not as a negative stereotype, but as a woman who is kind, strong, and unwilling to compromise her core identity or values for a romantic partner. The book provides several key principles for maintaining a healthy relationship dynamic. These include avoiding desperation, not chasing after men, being mentally challenging, maintaining unpredictability, and understanding that men are attracted to confident, self-assured women. Argoff emphasizes the importance of setting clear terms and conditions in a relationship, not giving up personal passions or friendships, and recognizing that a partner's actions are more telling than their words. While the book offers relationship advice, Argoff acknowledges its limitations and potential criticisms. The guidance is primarily from a heterosexual perspective and may reinforce certain gender stereotypes. The book suggests that women should be strategic in relationships, balancing independence with allowing men to feel in control, and ultimately prioritizing their own self-worth and personal growth over conforming to traditional relationship expectations. KEY QUOTES: • "Nice girls are treated like doormats." - Sherry Argov • "Anything a person chases in life runs away." - Sherry Argov • "The difference between a bitch and a nice girl is not in their personalities. Instead, it is in their actions and their willingness to give themselves up." - Sherry Argov • "Men are skilled at tuning women out when they nag." - Sherry Argov KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Actions speak louder than words - pay attention to a potential partner's behavior rather than just their promises • Relationships should be balanced, with both partners maintaining their individual identities and not sacrificing personal goals • A 'bitch' in this context is a woman who is kind yet strong, maintains her independence, and doesn't compromise her self-worth for a relationship • Men are often attracted to women who appear less needy, maintain unpredictability, and don't give up their personal passions and identity • Overcompensating in a relationship and being overly accommodating can signal low self-esteem and push potential partners away • Women should set clear boundaries, be confident, and not be afraid to communicate their needs and preferences in a relationship • Making a man wait for intimacy can increase his attraction and allow him to focus more on who you are as a person • Self-sufficiency is crucial - maintaining financial and personal independence helps attract respectful partners who appreciate you Criticism It's important to note that Why Men Love Bitches is meant to be a guide. It may reinforce gender stereotypes and promote a narrow view of what is “attractive” or desirable in relationships... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When Hitachi launched their ‘personal massager' on 20th May, 1968, they had no idea (or so they claim) that they were about to, um, go down in sex toy history. The Magic Wand was initially developed to relieve tension and relaxing sore muscles - but soon became celebrated as the most powerful vibrator the world had ever seen. In this episode, Rebecca, Olly and Arion discover how its innocent packaging helped boost sales when female masturbation was taboo, reveal the role sex educator Betty Dodson had in introducing it to the chattering classes, and consider how Apple would react today, if it was revealed that ‘rubbing an iPad on your bits felt good'...

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with writer, activist, and feminist Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, a leading voice in the fight for menstrual equity. Dubbed the “architect of the U.S. policy campaign to squash the tampon tax,” Jennifer is the author of Periods Gone Public and serves as VP at the Brennan Center for Justice. Her groundbreaking work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME, Cosmopolitan, MSNBC, and more. Together, they dive into how a local donation drive sparked Jennifer's national policy work, the cultural stigma surrounding menstruation, and the rise of the menstrual equity movement since 2015. They also unpack the critical need for accurate menopause education, public policy reform, and the long-lasting impact of the Women's Health Initiative's flawed messaging on hormone therapy. This conversation challenges outdated taboos and explores how both menstruation and menopause can serve as powerful starting points for advocating for women's health across every life stage.   ••• Connect with Jennifer Weiss-Wolf: Website: https://jenniferweisswolf.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferweisswolf/ ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

Beverly Engel is back, and I'm so grateful to talk with someone who's spent decades helping people break free from trauma-driven relationship patterns. If you've ever felt stuck in the same story - same red flags, different partner - you're not alone. In this episode, Beverly brings clarity to the messy, courageous work of breaking free and putting your past in your past. Beverly is a renowned psychotherapist and author of 27 self-help books, including her latest, Put Your Past In Your Past. In this conversation, we get into how hard it is to break lifelong patterns, especially when you were never taught how to feel your feelings, let alone trust them. But that's where the work is and that's how we begin to change everything. Healing is messy. It's uncomfortable. But it's also liberating as hell. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: What trauma reenactment actually is and how to begin interrupting the cycle (7:56) How to create a “triggers list” and begin connecting the dots between past pain and present-day reactions (10:51) Why you can't heal what you don't feel and what to do when the emotions finally surface (18:44) The fear of naming your trauma in relationships (and how to work through it) (40:08) Tools for building self-compassion and protecting yourself moving forward (43:40) Learn more about Beverly Engel: Beverly is an internationally recognized psychotherapist and expert on trauma. She has written 27 books on the related subjects of abuse, shame, and empowerment, including The Emotionally Abusive Relationship and Healing Your Emotional Self.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 736 Is your attachment style secretly directing every move you make in a relationship, from how quickly you run away to how desperately you cling? Silvy Khoucasian joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 736, to share how our nervous system, childhood attachments, and self-imposed boundaries can either block or build authentic love, why some red flags can be transformed into healthy agreements how to break old patterns and self-regulate more effectively, and what it takes to begin creating fulfilling relationships based on curiosity, vulnerability, and mutual respect. "Even red flags can become yellow flags or green flags if you work on creating agreements to prioritize the safe relationship. Agreements are the gold where you start to recognize how to find the bridge for both people's needs. And then you also set internal boundaries and agreements with yourself so that you're contributing to create that environment" - Silvy Khoucasian In This Episode, Silvy Khoucasian Uncovers: [01:15] Are You Looking for The Red Flags? Silvy Khoucasian Why everyone has their own red flags in a relationship. How red flags can be related to an unbalanced nervous system. When we don't understand our self-narratives, we will search for evidence that already exists in our brains. Why Silvy went on 300 dates before she met her husband. How she was always searching for the red flags. Why red flags can turn into green flags when we make agreements. The difference between rigid and healthy boundaries. How boundaries can become a trap that prevents us from creating a connection. [07:45] Four Attachment Styles 548 Dr. Stan Tatkin | Healing Toxic Relationships: What's The Bite That Fits Each Other's Wounds? How attachment styles are formed in our childhood. Why unpredictable behavior in parents causes anxiety in children in their adult life. How Silvy wanted a relationship but always left when she got scared. Why reassurance from her husband helped her heal her attachment style. It's normal to have vulnerabilities in a relationship. [14:10] Learn to Self-Regulate Wired for Love by Stan Tatkin The differences between each of the four attachment styles. Why we unconsciously relive our childhood memories as adults, even when we don't remember them.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show There's Too Much Pressure on Romantic Love "There's never been more pressure on romantic love. We used to look to God and spirituality for our connection to those places and now we look to creating that in conscious relationships. We rely a little too much on relationship for that feeling of aliveness, but do we actually have that aliveness in other parts of our lives?" - Silvy Khoucasian Women's Emotions Are Not Men's Responsibility "Having a man that just has tolerate anything and just be this rock and hold the space and just receive, that's not even healthy for her. That's not going to keep her in integrity with herself. Being able to witness the range of emotion is important on both sides, but not from a place of where you could just spew out any words and stories and assumptions that comes out with that. That's actually a boundary violation." - Silvy Khoucasian Move Towards Safety "You have to look for signs that your relationship is moving in the direction of healing, more safety, and more connection. And it doesn't mean you're not going to have those struggles. You are. But how do you learn from those things? And do you have a partner who's willing to co-create that safety together? And sometimes it's us that's contributing to that lack of safety. Can we be really honest about that?" - Silvy Khoucasian Links From Today's Show  Silvy Khoucasian 548 Dr. Stan Tatkin | Healing Toxic Relationships: What's The Bite That Fits Each Other's Wounds?

How do you build a writing life when your brain refuses to follow rules? For Paulette Perhach, the answer has always been a mix of creativity, structure, and compassion.Paulette is an award-winning author, writing coach, and creator of the Writer's Mission Control Center and Finishing School for Writers. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Vox, Glamour, The Washington Post, and Cosmopolitan. But before all that, she was a gifted kid with a brain full of ideas—and no clue why some things came so easily while others felt impossible.In this conversation, Paulette shares how growing up with undiagnosed ADHD and without financial resources—shaped her writing path, her self-image, and her relationship with money. She talks with Tracy about the emotional cost of feeling "less than," the unpredictability of social energy, and how finding a creative community changed everything. Diagnosed in adulthood, she finally began to understand the why behind her chaos and built systems that helped her move from intention to execution.Paulette also breaks down her FINISH framework, a six-part approach to help ADHD writers build structure, create momentum, and finally complete the work they care about. She shares how she bootstrapped her own software tool to support writers like her, and why creating spaces that center neurodivergent needs isn't just helpful—it's transformative.Whether you're a creative with too many ideas or someone still trying to trust your voice, Paulette's story will make you feel seen, inspired, and ready to try again, with a little more self-compassion this time.Resources:Website: https://www.pauletteperhach.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulette-perhach-23b12832 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulettejperhach X: https://x.com/pauletteperhachSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

Today we're talking about the reality of parenting while disabled. My guest is Jessica Slice, the author of the new book Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World. A writer, advocate, and disabled mother who challenges the way society defines “fit” parenting, Jessica's work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Disability Visibility.  In this episode, Jessica opens up about the unique challenges disabled parents face, from the obstacles within the process of becoming parents to navigating a world that often feels inaccessible. We also talk about how disabled parents are often excluded from mainstream parenting conversations and why they face heightened scrutiny from Child Protective Services. Jessica shares her powerful perspective on creative adaptation — a mindset that empowers disabled parents to create a parenting approach that works for them, rather than trying to conform to systems that weren't built with their needs in mind. Whether you're a disabled parent, raising a disabled child, or just wanting to learn how to be a more informed and supportive ally, this episode is filled with Jessica's honest insights and practical wisdom that challenge outdated ideas of what makes a “good” parent.   About Jessica Slice Jessica Slice is a disabled mom and author of Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World. She is also the co-author of Dateable: Swiping Right, Hooking Up, and Settling Down and This is How We Play, as well as the forthcoming This is How We Talk and We Belong, which was co-authored with the late Judy Heumann. She has been published in Modern Love, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Alice Wong's bestselling Disability Visibility, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and more. She lives in Toronto with her family.   Things you'll learn from this episode Why disabled parents are not often part of the mainstream parenting conversations What are the challenges that disabled parents face when they're starting the process of becoming parents Why disabled parents face more threats from Child Protective Services, and why demanding that someone parent without help can be considered discriminatory How being disabled prepares potential parents for the parenting journey What creative adaptation is and how it can give disabled parents the freedom to build their life from scratch How non-disabled parents can support the disabled parents in their communities   Resources mentioned Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World by Jessica Slice Jessica Slice's website Jessica Slice writes about disability, parenting, and poems Jessica on Instagram Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally by Emily Ladau Emily Ladau on Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Learn more about your ad choices.
