CW: Discussion on sex, sexuality, and fatphobiaFriends, I hope you were able to join me last week for part one of this conversation with my guest Angela Corry. Angela is a clinical and sexual health educator, an expert in fatphobia and sex, and last week we talked about body image and fatphobia and how perceptions have changed throughout history. Fatphobia is very pervasive in our society and it shows up everywhere, especially in areas of sexuality and pleasure. This second episode with Angela really focuses on pleasure. It's our right, in whatever body, as a human, to experience pleasure on every level, including sexually. But why don't those of us in bigger bodies often feel comfortable experiencing or seeking pleasure? And how can we change that? As Angela states right at the start of our conversation, “sexy isn't a size”. We deserve to feel good. What feels good for our body, whether a great orgasm or the pleasure of a wonderful bath in a tub that fits us, is pleasurable and we deserve that. Why is that hard for us to accept if our bodies are bigger? It's very much a link between fat and sex and fat and food and the way societal structures drill certain reluctances into us due to size. Much of the work Angela does with her clients starts with confidence and self-esteem, it starts with helping people eliminate the barriers we have between us and experiencing pleasure. We talk about learning to accept our bodies and touch our bodies, bringing all five senses into our pleasure, and not being afraid of sex toys or pillows or adjustments needed to make sex more pleasurable for us. This episode dives into everything we don't talk about enough when it comes to fat, sex, and pleasure. I'm so glad you're here for this!__About Angela Corry:Angela Corry, RN, BScN, ACCN, is a clinical educator and sexual health educator for Loving Choices in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alberta, her Advanced Critical Care Nursing (ACCN) specialty from Mount Royal University and her certification in Holistic Sexual Health Education from the Institute of Sexuality Education and Enlightenment (ISEE). Angela has over 20 years of nursing experience in emergency and intensive care as a bedside and clinical nurse educator. During this time, she has contributed to several medical journals, including the Emergency Medical Journal. For the past two years, while focusing on health promotion and wellness, Angela realized that her pre-conceived notions about sexuality and body image were enmeshed with mainstream society's views on what is “normal,” “healthy,” or “feasible.” She believes it is necessary to reflect on the nature of sexuality and size diversity and how they fit and are used in our social, economic, and political structures. Angela wants to help empower individuals to live authentically by helping clients and professionals make choices that cultivate body positivity, accept size diversity and personal empowerment, enhance sexual well-being, celebrate the diversity of sexual expression, and promote equity for all within the current structures of our fat-phobic society.__Resources mentioned in this episode:“Fat” by Hanne Blank“Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire” by Lori A.

CW: Discussion of sexual assaultIt's been described as the game-changing book about sex and consent that every woman - and man - should read.In 2021, Chanel Contos posted on Instagram asking people to share their stories of sexual assault during their schooling years. This post unexpectedly went viral, and almost 7000 people sent in testimonies describing behaviour that constitutes rape. Virtually none of these instances were reported, and almost all of them were by people they knew.How and why is this happening in an era of growing equality? In her new book, Chanel argues that when it comes to sex, we are still working with an outdated social contract that privileges men's pleasure at the expense of women's humanity.In this important episode if Booksmart, Hannah Diviney sat down with Chanel to discuss her journey and what it was like writing and publishing Consent Laid Bare.

Welcome to the worst episode of Grey's Anatomy you can imagine. This week, Clarissa and Kourtney are leaning into the sick side of "sick, sad millennials" and trying their hands at some medical condition knowledge. Your hosts take turns naming some not-so-common diseases, disorders, and other maladies so the other can guess what the condition actually is. This episode is by no means making fun of any medical conditions, just how little your cohosts know about them and how horribly their attempts at guessing and pronunciation can be. Plus, some holiday chit-chat and a trip back to 1989!CW: Discussion of medical procedures, mental health, bodily function, pain, medical care, and symptoms are present in this episode.Disclaimer: This is an entertainment podcast based on individual perspective, experience, and opinion. The content of this episode is not medical advice and should not be taken as such under any circumstances. Pronunciation of medical terms may be incorrect. This episode is not meant to make fun of any disease, disorder, or medical condition of any kind or those afflicted by said conditions and no offense is meant at all. It is simply a guessing format episode where hosts attempt to learn more about certain medical maladies, and have some comedic moments at their own lack of knowledge. This is an entertainment podcast that is often comedic in nature, and should be consumed with that thematic element in mind. The views expressed do not reflect on any other persons, businesses, or institutions nor should they be taken as concrete fact or allegation of any kind.

CLICK HERE TO FIND US ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. CW: Discussion of racism, trauma, grief, murder, death, bear attacks. The finale has arrived, the end of the road for all of our characters. As far as series finales go, this isn't the worst we've ever seen. Everyone gets a nice send-off, there's some genuinely sweet moments, and they nail the final moments. But after an entire final season of pointless escapades with no greater meaning, and a total refusal to go for the wildness the show has been known for, we're left with some standard grade relief. We discuss “Chapter 137: Goodbye, Riverdale” this week on The Doghouse. If you've stuck around this entire run, thank you so, so much for all the listens! We appreciate everyone who enjoyed our goofy bits, shouting sessions, and general Riverdale shenanigans. For one final time - Bulldogs Forever.

Glennon, Abby, Amanda, and Sarah Edmondson continue their conversation:  1. “Love bombing” and other red flag strategies used by cults to reel people in.   2.

Her path from top recruiter to the whistleblower who helped take down the cult and its leader Keith Ranieri.  3.
