Podcast appearances and mentions of jo divine

Darlaine Honey is a Sexual Health Advisor working with Berkshire Healthcare and lives in Surrey, South of England. Having been diagnosed with lobular breast cancer, she is also an advocate for Breast Cancer Now on the workflow task force plus Breast Cancer Now / Ann Summers/My ViV collaboration for sex after breast cancer. During the COVID lockdown, Darlaine and some friends formed the charity Lobular Breast Cancer so that other women could learn more about it.As is evident from our discussion and from previous discussions I've had with those working in the area of sexual health, both in the UK and in the US, there's not enough being done to support older people to have a healthier and happier sex life. There's an assumption that sexual health advisors are there to support younger people. At the same time, the stats reveal that more older people are presenting with STDs than ever before, thanks to escalating divorce rates and the opportunity through dating apps and elsewhere for sexual encounters. I also learned, towards the end of our conversation, of the impact of drugs used to treat breast cancer on women's sexual health and was shocked to discover how they may contribute to vaginal atrophy and a significant decline in libido and sensitivity, none of which patients are commonly told when undergoing treatment. My friend Sam Evans, who runs a sex toy shop called Jo Divine, has spoken via her social media channels about ‘medical misogyny' and, in talking with Darlaine, it's clear how much more needs to be done to ensure women receive the information we all deserve to make educated decisions about our overall wellbeing which includes our sexual health. If you'd like to learn more about Darlaine's work, you can reach her on LinkedIn.Show your support for Lobular Breast Cancer here:https://lobularbreastcancer.org.uk/darlaine-honey/Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, we talk about vaginas, vulvas, sex and sex toys, because we can! As young people we all tend to assume that older people don't have sex, but we midlife women know better, don't we? It may be more complicated for us, for a variety of reasons, but women in mid and later life are still sexual beings and we have every right to enjoy our intimate life just as much as we did when we were younger. But we all know that there can be obstacles to this, such as dryness, pain, recurrent infections and loss of libido, so my guest today is here to help with all that, because there's nothing she doesn't know about how to manage all these pesky issues that get in the way of a happy and fulfilling sex life. My guest in this episode is the brilliant Samantha Evans.  She has a background in nursing, so she knows all the nitty gritty about our intimate areas and she's the founder of Jo Divine, an online sex toy company designed to support people to enjoy sexual intimacy and pleasure by using skin-safe products and irritant-free lubricants and moisturisers. We discuss everything from how to manage UTIs and thrush to why and how to use a sex toy to maximise your pleasure. What I love about Sam is that she completely normalises what is a sensitive subject for many of us, and she's so practical and supportive with her advice. Nothing is off the table with her and it's a wild ride of a conversation, so get your notebooks ready, buckle in and tune in to hear what she's got to say!If you've enjoyed the podcast, remember to subscribe so you don't miss the next episode and please give it 5 star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on, I'd be so grateful.

After Sam Evans, co-owner of sex toy and pleasure shop Jo Divine, wowed us with her knowledge of lubes, sex toys for girls and overcoming challenges brought on by menopause, we thought we'd ask her partner Paul to give us his thoughts on toys for older men, male sexual health issues and other stuff.I suspect when most people think of men's sex toys, they immediately think of the Fleshlight, but men's toys have moved on since then. Now there are various vibrating penis sleeves, prostate massagers, vibrating and not-vibrating cock rings and anal beads. And stick around until the end, when you'll hear all about the benefits of using a water-filled penis pump! Who knew??Paul is a mine of information and clearly could have happily spoken for far longer on pleasure devices for men, so if you do have any questions, be sure to send him a message, and I know he will be happy to answer them.Do check out JoDivine.com, where you'll find a range of super sexy and safe toys for both men and women.

But how can you ensure that what you're using isn't causing more harm than good?Samantha Evans co-founded the sex toy shop Jo Divine, and many of her customers are older. As a former nurse, she is used to discussing intimate issues, and she's on a mission to remove the taboo around older people and sex by being open and honest about her own challenges.During this frank conversation, Sam shared her expertise around choosing sex toys and lube, what to avoid and why choosing the right products can mean the difference between having good sex or ending up with a bad case of thrush or worse. We talk about some of the difficulties her customers have faced when discussing sex with medical professionals, how the NHS is not well equipped in this area, with many doctors and nurses shying away from the topic or simply providing lousy advice.If you want to check out Jo Divine, Sam has given Sex Advice for Seniors listeners a limited-time discount of 10%.Use code is SAS10 (£5 minimum spend on full-priced products excluding P&P) ENDS 06/10/23.

https://paranormalhub.com/grizzly-hunt This Tuesday! At 7:00 PM! Meet Psychic Medium Kelly Jo! Psychic Kelly Jo is looking for a paranormal team to help out in her area! Psychic Mediums: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Spirit World! https://grizzly.spiritsale.com Get your Shirts and Merch! Support Grizzly and the show! Thank you very much! A psychic tarot reading combines the ancient art of tarot with the intuitive abilities of a psychic, creating a powerful and enlightening experience for seekers of guidance. This unique blend of divination techniques offers a profound glimpse into the past, present, and future, providing clarity, guidance, and a deeper understanding of life's complexities. At the heart of a psychic tarot reading is the tarot deck, a set of 78 cards consisting of Major Arcana and Minor Arcana cards. Each card in the deck carries its own symbolic meaning, representing different aspects of human existence, emotions, challenges, and potential outcomes. The cards are laid out in a specific pattern, such as the Celtic Cross or a customized spread, and the psychic taps into their intuitive abilities to interpret the messages conveyed by the cards. The concept of psychic mediums has intrigued and fascinated humanity for centuries. These gifted individuals possess the ability to connect with the spirit realm, offering insight, guidance, and communication with the departed. In this article, we will explore the fascinating world of psychic mediums, examining their abilities, practices, and the profound impact they have on the lives of those they encounter. Clairvoyance is often described as the ability to gain information about objects, people, events, or situations through extrasensory perception (ESP). It is believed to involve perceiving information beyond the normal sensory channels of sight, hearing, touch and taste. #Psychics #PsychicReadings #Intuition #Clairvoyance #Mediumship #TarotReadings #AstrologyReadings #EnergyHealing #SpiritualGuidance #Divination #Empath #PsychicMedium #SpiritualJourney #InnerWisdom #PsychicAbilities #IntuitiveInsights #Metaphysical #Mysticism #PsychicAdvice #PsychicPower #PsychicCommunity @Psychics @PsychicReadings @Intuition @Clairvoyance @Mediumship @TarotReadings @AstrologyReadings @EnergyHealing @SpiritualGuidance @Divination @Empath @PsychicMedium @SpiritualJourney @PsychicAbilities @IntuitiveInsights @Metaphysical @Mysticism @PsychicAdvice @PsychicPower @PsychicCommunity --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/support

About Sam "I'm the co-founder of online sex toy retailer Jo Divine with my husband Paul. We only sell skin safe products and irritant free lubricants and vaginal moisturisers. As a former nurse, I am the sexual health and pleasure expert. I have written 100's of practical sexual health and pleasure articles for our blog and in the press. I also featured on the radio, and in Sex, Myths and the menopause with Davina McCall and How To Have A Better Orgasm on Channel 5. We also work with many healthcare professionals to help their patients to regain their sexual function and reclaim their sex life. Whoever you are, whatever your age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or health issue, we believe sex is meant to be noisy, messy, embarrassing, consensual, pleasurable and most of all, fun " Where is a good place for a new or timid customer to start? Sam loves talking to customers and would encourage everyone to phone her and have a conversation. Her knowledge as a nurse, her personal experiences and her product knowledge helps her have conversations with clients that ensures they are getting the products, and often the help, that they need. However not everyone is confident enough to pick up the phone, so the one product that we both believe could help everyone is intimate lubricant. Sam first started using the Yes lubricant and it transformed her experiences, and it is the brand that I use. (however they now have their own brand available which I am currently testing called Sutil) How has your personal experience affected the products you stock? Sam suffered from recurrent infections, UTI's, thrush and BV which eventually developed into vaginismus. This is when your vaginal muscles contract when penetration is attempted, leading to painful and difficult sexual intercourse. What Sam hadn't realised until she discovered natural lubricant brand Yes, is that it was all down to the lubrication she and her partner was using. Sam comments that it was so sad that something they were using to try to ease her discomfort was actually the thing causing her symptoms. And the idea for Jo Divine was born. Quick fire! Favourite food - cheese, any kind. Or maybe breakfast with husband Pauls home made bread and their home made marmalade. Most Memorable meal - wedding meal, particularly the chocolate pudding What have you got for tea? today is a fasting day so probably soup Sam's links Instagram Facebook Website My links Facebook Instagram Fabulous & Female Membership Exclusive to listeners discount 10% valid until the end of 2022 HILL2022 (valid on full price products) Did this episode encourage you to open up conversations with your partner or your friends?

Many people say to me they have no idea what their options are, who to ask for help, and that they feel really isolated in their experiences.I started this podcast because there was nothing out there when I was thrown into surgical menopause at the age of 39, which followed on from my cancer diagnosis aged 33.Through the episodes, I want to create more awareness, share information from our fabulous guest experts, doctors and other specialists in the cancer and menopause field.And of course, I will share stories from the people in our community.So that together we can work towards a better menopause experience. For all of us.More educated, better informed and less alone.Connect with Dani:Instagram @healthywholeme Facebook: @healthywholeme Join Dani's private Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathubFor oodles of inspiration, healthy recipes, yoga classes and all round positivity go to her website:

Join me this time as I talk to Sam Evans, co-owner, with her husband Paul, of Jo Divine - an online store selling skin-safe sex toys and irritant-free lubricants. (Content warning, there will be sex chat!) From the earliest days of Jo Divine (featuring the Trolley of Love, tune in to find out about that...) to her starring appearance in the famed Davina documentary on menopause (and the subsequent 'Davina-effect' of a sell-out on the toy that featured in said documentary...) we cover a LOT. For Sam herself, using the products they stock led to the discovery that ingredients in the lubes she had been using were the cause of her recurrent thrush and other infections, which cleared up within a week of using 'skin-safe' products. Tune in to find out why glycerin, parabens, and polypropylene glycol are all things you do NOT want on your lady parts...  I mean, most of us are pretty choosy about what we slap on our faces, so why wouldn't we be equally discerning about what we apply to one of the most  sensitive (and absorbent) parts of our bodies??  As a trained nurse, and now writer on sexual health and pleasure, Sam dispenses advice not just on her Instagram account, but daily through the Jo Divine email and phone line. With happy customers well into their 90s, Jo Divine is proof that the fun doesn't have to stop, if you have the right tools! We also talk about 'Honest', the new book that Sam and Paul's daughter Millie Evans has written for teens and young adults, covering the kind of inclusive, frank, open and honest sex-ed that we wish we all could have had in our formative years.

Hear Me, See Me Podcast with Elvin Box, Prostate Cancer Campaigner.Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.A good friend of mine, Cheryl Witham, put me in touch with a fantastic man, Elvin Box. He is a Prostate Cancer Campaigner and a generous human being. He selflessly gave me lots of his time, reassuring me and educating me on what I am facing. I knew immediately that I had to do a podcast with him to share awareness of this much underestimated disease.We have a full and frank discussion about my experience so far and I hope this helps other people in this situation.This is information from Elvin :All of those born with a prostate should get to a Gym, and focus on the following exercises to enhance their continence and potency. However, once treated for prostate cancer, the following exercises are a must: core muscles; pelvic floor muscles; cardio vascular.

This weeks podcast finds Jinty and Lou getting down to the nitty gritty of sex and sexual health, particularly as we age and through menopause, with this weeks amazing guest, Samantha Evans, co founder of Jo Divine an online sex toy company that she founded with her husband Paul. Sam has a background in nursing, she has written hundreds of articles for Jo Divine and the press and enjoys creating informative, practical articles about sexual health and pleasure which endeavour to normalise sex and help folk feel confident in talking about it. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge, and her personal story about the intimate health industry, women being targeted with ads for intimate washes and lubricants that contain damaging ingredients- damaging to your vagina but also the planet. Sam talks about what we should know about sexual lubricants, how to become an ingredients detective to avoid the harmful ones. You will learn how we can have good vaginal and vulva health, enjoy a healthy, fun sex life (with or without a partner) and why our vaginas should not smell like roses. Exploding candle anyone? What ingredients should we be wary of? What will cause irritation for both the vagina, penis or anus? And why bath bombs should be called thrush bombs, nobody needs a glittery vagina! Vaginal Atrophy is an umbrella term for many issues with our vaginas and vulvas and Sam aims to break the taboo and get women talking. It is very common for women to not be comfortable to wear pants or trousers, or even sit down, let alone ride a bike or a horse.... or have sex! Sam discusses why we should all have a vagina and vulva skin care regime and what it should entail to keep a healthy pH and why we should be moisturizing our vulvas, just like we moisture the skin on our face. Also why we should be checking our vaginas and vulvas just as we check our breasts. We talk Libido or the lack of, and what we can do to improve it. Sex toys that can help us and the health benefits of an orgasm! Sam also gives us her 3 tips for great sexual health and well-being. You may have also seen Sam in the new documentary on Channel 4, Sex, Myths and The Menopause, with Davina McCall. If not definitely check it out.

This we speak to consultant breast cancer surgeon, author, TEDx Speaker, triathlete, and nominee for Woman of the Year 2016 Liz O'Riordan.Liz was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2015 and had a recurrence in 2018. She went viral when she dressed as Elastagirl from the Incredibles for the last day of her radiotherapy. Liz uses her unique perspective of being both surgeon and patient to write her award-winning blog about living with breast cancer and more recently a book: The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer.She writes to empower cancer patients, separating fact from fiction. We speak to Liz about her experience of surgeon turned patient and the lack of information breast cancer patients are provided with when it comes to sex and intimacy after diagnosis. Her story of redefining her sense of feminity when the treatment removed a breast and plunged her into sudden early menopause is powerful and eye-opening. We felt very honored to have Liz with us to speak on a subject we hear so little about.You can read Liz's blog and watch her TEDx talk here: liz.oriordan.co.ukBuy her book The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to feel empowered and take control published by Vermilion from @hivestores HERE , or HERE @wordery or from Amazon HERELiz's TEDx talk Jar of Joy can be found HEREHer top twitter sex gurus are Jo Divine and @SamTalksSex *As usual, we would love to hear from you and continue the conversation.
