May is Mental Health Awareness Month, which is cute, because judging by my inbox, the internet is straight-up infested with lunatics. In this episode, I break down a week full of unhinged messages, Facebook weirdos, and grown-ass adults who confuse a screenshot with a federal crime. One guy wants to fight me over his pedophile mom (yep, that's real), another is totally obsessed with me, and they're both dead serious. Let's raise awareness—for the fact that the world's gone completely insane.

Lady Parts is a dramedy feature film where a young woman's sex life becomes a family affair when she has to undergo a vulvar vestibulectomy. Her loving, but overbearing parents help her through recovery (despite her cringing) and learn that saying "vagina" loud and proud is the first step to advocating for herself in all aspects of her life. In this special episode of the Stubborn Love Podcast, the team behind the film 'Lady Parts' joins to discuss the inspiration, creation, and societal impacts of their movie. Writer and Executive Producer Bonnie Gross, Director Nancy Boyd, and Producer Meghan Griesbeck share personal experiences with conditions like vulvar vestibulitis and vaginismus, and emphasize the need for open discussions about women's health.  They highlight the role of educational systems, the importance of supportive family dynamics, and the advocacy work being done to de-stigmatize vaginal health. The filmmakers also discuss organizations providing valuable resources and support for those affected. Their goal is to get the film in front of as many people as possible, sparking important conversations and cultural change around women's health issues. 01:14 Inspiration Behind Lady Parts 02:26 Understanding Vulvar Vestibulitis and Vaginismus 05:50 Challenges in the Medical Community 09:42 The Importance of Family Support 13:32 Advocacy and Resources Connect with Lady Parts https://ladypartsfilm.com/  IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21423506/  IG - https://www.instagram.com/ladyparts_film/  FB - https://www.facebook.com/ladypartsthemovie  TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@shake_ur_bonbon  X - https://twitter.com/lady_parts_film  Resources mentioned Tight Lipped https://www.tightlipped.org/  Intimate Rose https://www.intimaterose.com/ The Pelvic People https://thepelvicpeople.com/  Hello Gina https://ginaapp.com/  Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching TikTok: @paigebondcoaching Website: https://paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

This episode digs deep into the journey of strengthening relationships through the Gottman method, sharing personal anecdotes and professional insights.  Key takeaways from the episode: What is the Gottman method and how does it apply to couples therapy? What are 'bids' in the context of relationship dynamics, and why are they important? The impact of individual therapy on couples' dynamic How does the intersection of mental health with kink, BDSM, ethical non-monogamy, and LGBTQ issues impact therapy and relational understanding? How can communication and understanding intentions in relationships lead to better connection and trust? What strategies can couples adopt from the Gottman method to prevent relationship issues and strengthen their bond? A former Industrial and Systems Engineer, Derek Wittman is an LMHC in NY and LPC in PA with over 10 years in clinical practice. From the treatment of Substance Use Disorders to couples therapy with the Gottman Method, he had seen families reconnect in healing  from the grip of trauma into restored relationships.  With precious operations management experience, Wittman has recently taken the leap from his Clinical Manager position with a top 10 national healthcare company to start his own solo private practice. Noteworthy quotes from this episode: [27:17] "and I recognize that if she is hurt about something I did or said, that's absolutely valid, it doesn't mean that she hates me, it means that she trusts me enough to say it. And I'm so glad that I can offer her that level of safety, that she can rest on me and rest in a relationship and I don't get offended by her feelings. I want her to feel safe with me. I see in various communities that I'm a part of where ‘Am I overreacting?'  is a very common question. It's like, well, your feelings are not a reaction period. They're all internal. What are you doing with those feelings? You're throwing a temper tantrum?  Are you crying? Are you calmly sharing  how you feel about something? I hope I can always be calmly sharing or receiving something.” Connect with Derek Www.sageintime.com  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=100092603180057  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sage-in-time-podcast/id1721609280  Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching TikTok: @paigebondcoaching Website: https://paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and a Polyamory Relationship Coach.
