Podcasts about cuddling

What if being a caring person didn't require constantly giving more of yourself away? When you care deeply, it's easy to look around and see need everywhere—and then quietly turn that awareness into another expectation of yourself. I should help. I should do more. I should care more. I should have more to give. But maybe "Where am I needed?" isn't the only question worth asking. In this episode of Don't Cut Your Own Bangs, I'm joined by social worker, author, and community advocate Jalysa King for a conversation about finding the sweet spot between being of service to others and staying connected to what makes you come alive. Jalysa has a remarkable way of showing up for meaningful work without making service synonymous with heaviness. From helping young people find their dream formal wear through The Gifted Gown to supporting grieving families through Brooks Place, she reminds us that helping can look like listening, playing, shopping, creating, smiling, or simply bringing something you already love into a place where it's needed. Because there will always be more good work that could be done. In This Episode, We Explore Why helping doesn't always have to feel heavy How play, creativity, shopping, art, and connection can all become meaningful forms of service How our natural interests can point us toward places where we have something meaningful to contribute Why representation matters—and the power of seeing yourself reflected in books, stories, and possibilities How to recognize when something simply isn't right for this particular season of your life What it might look like to let joy help determine where you invest your energy Jalysa's examples continually expand the definition of what "helping" can look like—from playing with children to helping someone find a gown to simply sitting beside someone experiencing grief. Three Things to Carry With You 1. Where you're needed isn't the only question. If you care deeply and pay attention to the world around you, you can find someone who needs something almost everywhere you look. Instead, try asking: Where do I come alive while helping? Where does something you naturally love, enjoy, understand, or know how to do meet something another person genuinely needs? 2. The way into something heavy can be small, simple, or light. Sometimes a problem feels so enormous that we assume our response needs to feel enormous, too. But service might look like planting flowers. Cuddling a shelter dog. Playing with a child. Helping someone find a dress. Painting beside someone when talking feels impossible. The seriousness of someone's need doesn't necessarily dictate the heaviness of what you have to offer. 3. Being of service doesn't have to mean giving all of yourself away. Your joy doesn't disqualify the contribution. In fact, the things that light you up may contain useful information about what you uniquely have to offer. As Jalysa says about The Gifted Gown, she's doing something she genuinely enjoys while simultaneously meeting a real need—and that experience fills her cup, too. The Heart of This Conversation Maybe you don't need another reminder that the world needs help. Maybe you need permission to remember that you get to exist inside the equation, too. Your capacity matters. Your interests matter. Your energy matters. Your joy matters. Being of service doesn't have to require disappearing from your own life in the process. A Line to Keep "Where do I come alive while helping?" The Clip Moment "When the problem feels big, and hard, and heavy, it almost doesn't feel accessible that…the way into a solution can be either small, or simple, or light." — Danielle A Gentle Reflection Instead of asking yourself what else you should be doing, try asking: What do I genuinely enjoy? And then: Where might that be useful? You don't have to manufacture a passion for something simply because it's important. You might already have something to offer hiding inside the things that make you feel most like yourself. About Jalysa King Jalysa King is a social worker, children's book author, and community advocate whose work spans service, representation, grief support, and community connection. In this conversation, she shares her work with The Gifted Gown and Brooks Place, along with the experiences that first shaped her relationship with service. She is the author of When I Grow Up I Can Be Anything and The World Needs More People Who Smile. Her work as an author grew partly from recognizing how powerful it can be for children to see themselves represented in the possibilities they're imagining for their own lives. Jalysa's Books When I Grow Up I Can Be Anything — Jalysa King The World Needs More People Who Smile — Jalysa King Organizations mentioned in the episode Brooke's Place — grief support and services for children, teens, young adults, and families. The Gifted Gown — provides free formal wear, shoes, and accessories so cost doesn't prevent someone from participating in meaningful milestone events. If This Episode Resonates Send it to the person who cares about everything and is quietly wondering how they're supposed to keep caring without becoming exhausted by it. And if you're that person, perhaps you don't need to leave this conversation asking: How can I do more? Try: Where does what I uniquely have to give meet something I genuinely care about? Because being of service doesn't have to mean giving all of yourself away.

Chicago and Philadelphia showed up big for the Best Sex Ever tour, and I couldn't get to every question live. So here's the rest. We're getting into the real first move before opening up a marriage, what alcohol actually does to your libido, and why your body tightening up mid-sex is information, not a red flag. Plus how to ask for foreplay in a way that actually lands, the cuddle trap where touch always seems to lead to sex whether you want it to or not, and a low-pressure way into kink and BDSM if you're curious but nervous.

Welcome to The Waffle Shop!Today I'm by Natasha Wicks — a professional cuddler and mental health therapist — to explore the transformative power of touch and the often misunderstood world of cuddle therapy.Natasha shares her unique journey into this unconventional form of healing, explaining how cuddle therapy supports emotional well-being by helping clients feel safe, seen, and supported. The conversation dives into the impact of the pandemic on human connection, the therapeutic role of music and cold water therapy, and the growing need for non-sexual physical touch in today's fast-paced, disconnected world.Taylor and Natasha also unpack techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and how it's used to help process trauma. Together, they debunk common myths about cuddle therapy and highlight how intentional, platonic touch can play a crucial role in mental health, self-worth, and emotional regulation.If you want to find out more about Cuddle Therapy please check out Natasha's work - https://natashawicksmindmatters.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
