Welcome to Living Well with MS, the Overcoming MS podcast where we explore all topics relating to living well with multiple sclerosis (MS). In this episode, Geoff meets MS and disability activist, Roxy Murray.  Keep reading for the key episode takeaways and bio. You can also watch this episode on our YouTube channel here. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter to hear our latest tips and news about living a full and happy life with MS. And if you're new to Overcoming MS, visit our introductory page to find out more about how we support people with MS. Roxy Murray's bio: If you're keen on driving inclusivity, Roxy's story will be of interest to you. Roxy Murray (@multiplesclerosisfashionista) is a London (UK) based MS and disability, sex and body positivity and Queer activist. She is also a podcaster, voiceover artist, fashion stylist and the designer of sick and sickening (@sickandsickening) clothing, a brand created to celebrate disabled and invisible illness warriors. She focuses her attention on creating better representation, consideration and inclusion within the MS narrative for people of colour and the LGBTQIA Community. Roxy's Social Media Through her social media, Roxy combines her love of fashion and art to empower others on their journey, whilst they navigate through life with a disability or invisible illness. She creates videos and Instagram content that celebrates and brings visibility to the beauty of the community with her hashtag #WeAreNotInvisible. She also focuses her attention on helping others take steps to release grief and openly talk about her own mental health battles. Roxy's podcast She highlights real unfiltered stories and talks about taboo subjects like disabled joy, sexual empowerment and much more on her podcast (@sickandsickening_podcast). Selected Key Takeaways Accessible fashion is adaptable, so that it suits every body, every shape, and every person's needs Sometimes that might be an adaptable sleeve, it might be magnetic fastening. Jewellery is a big one for me, I find it really hard to clip in the little clips around the neck. You can get ones [fastenings] that are just magnetic so it's easier to pull on and push off for someone that wants to be chic and fashionable and look good, but they want to be able to dress themselves. Then Barbara Met Allen is a new TV show chronicling the UK's disability rights movement It's more inclusive it's more accessible and people that are disabled are being allowed to tell [their] own stories, which is really special. So, you have a story of when Barbara met Allen and together, after the disability rights generation movement in America, it came over here. They were looking for their own accessibility revolution. There's no need to desexualize disabled bodies I'm a 34-year-old, unapologetic Aries. I'm going to stand up, be proud and look fabulous. I've literally walked a runway show with a mobility aid, and was like, “I'm going to wear underwear and be fabulous and show people we can be disabled and be sexual and be good and curious and gorgeous”.

When we think of the term shame, what is it that you imagine? And what is it that we feel, and why? A tactic often used to silence on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, socially, sexually, the time time has come to shed your shame and to unlearn. Natalie Alexis Lee is the author of the new book Feeling Myself: How I Shed My Shame To Find Sexual Freedom & You Can Too. Part memoir, part manifesto, this is a book that details a journey of healing, and how we can all unlearn the concept of shame and societal norms. Lee is also a content creator, podcast host, as well as a public speaker. *** [Advert] This episode of The Disabled Debrief Podcast is sponsored by Hot Octopus.

I'm delighted to welcome Kelly Gordon onto the show this week. She is Head of Creative at Hot Octopus, a sex toy company that celebrates diversity and works tirelessly to bring down stigmas around all forms of consensual sexual expression. Kelly is also a loving mom of two kids, a wife, a podcast host, and Co-Founder and People Director of With Not For, a recruitment solution to find paid employment options for people with disabilities.  Kelly is a wheelchair user and an outspoken advocate for people with disabilities to claim their rights to pleasure in sex life. We delve into Kelly's journey of discovering herself as a sexual being, how she dealt with her disability around sex as an early teen and as an adult, her multiple projects and her commitment to tear down the taboos around sex and disability..  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - How Kelly landed into the sex toys industry - Why she decided to speak openly about her sexuality and sexual experiences - Kelly's thoughts on the need for disabled people to get a personal assistant  - The experiences during Kelly's adolescence that motivated her to become an advocate for people with disabilities to claim their rights of finding pleasure in their sex lives - What conversations society should be having around sex and disability  Kelly's own experiences allowed her to bring a different look at the industry. After spending many years working in industries where she felt judged and not fitting in entirely, she found  her place in the world. Her creative mind, passion for having uninhibited conversations about sex and her inclusive drive helped her build a thriving career around her identity and who she is as a human and sexual being.  Resources: - The Festival of Sexuality: https://www.sexualalchemy.com/festival-of-sexuality  - Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mskelgee/ - Hot Octopuss: https://www.hotoctopuss.com/ - Hot Octopuss on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotoctopuss/ - Pleasure Rebels Podcast: ‎Pleasure Rebels on Apple Podcasts - With Not For: https://www.withnotfor.co.uk/ - With Not For on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wnf_recruits/ - Check out my FREE Training, Reclaiming Your Intuitive, Confident, and Sensual Self https://www.sexualalchemy.com/free-training - Book: Rebecca Lowrie - The Sexual Alchemy Journal for Men: 6 Weeks to Discovering and Embracing Your Full Sexual Self: https://www.sexualalchemy.com/shop/p/sexualalchemyjournalformen  - The Sexual Mastery Activation Cards for Men https://www.sexualalchemy.com/shop - Sign up for bi-weekly(ish) Love Letters straight to your inbox https://self-alchemy.activehosted.com/f/11 - Free resources: https://www.sexualalchemy.com/free-resources/ - My book "101 Meditations for Life, Business and Bedroom Success" https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-Life-Business-Bedroom-Success/dp/0993207626/ - My website https://www.sexualalchemy.com/ - Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/s_xualalchemy/ - Find me on Twitter https://twitter.com/rebeccalowrie/  - Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.lowrie1 - Find me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccalowrie/

Shameless Sex is unabashed real talk about sexuality with a playful twist.

In Today's Twitch and MJ's fun facts, a weird Octopus fact came up. And people went nuts on the text line with more octopus talk... About some ODD stuff they can do.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They talk a lot about how to have sex play with a soft penis, toys, erotic massages, censorship, lubrication, and the clock method (the what?!). Also included: random rants and tangents about pimple popping.    Shameless:  https://www.shamelesssex.com   Resources discussed:  Barbara and the erotic massage / clock method  https://barbaracarrellas.com/links-and-resources/   The Hot Octopus toy:  https://www.hotoctopuss.com/product/pulse-iii-duo-couples-sex-toy/   Spare Parts harness:  https://www.myspare.com/product/deuce    FOLLOW US  Twitter Instagram Facebook Send questions, comments, stories, rants to: SlutsAndScholars@gmail.com   Sluts And Scholars is a production of Sluts and Scholars Media.
