He agrees to be her focus group for demoing toys in the adult toy store.By Norweger. Listen to the ►Podcast at Steamy Stories.Can I help you?I glanced aside from the colourful products on display right in front of me, blushing mildly. The shopkeeper had done the rounds, and I, being lost in thought in front of the Toys; male, solo shelf hadn t noticed her approaching. Well, I could hardly deny I was thinking of buying a Fleshlight, as I held one; well, a securely wrapped one, luckily; in my hands as I met her friendly gaze.I, ah Fuck. Going to an adult toy shop shouldn t be embarrassing, should it? My cheeks and earlobes grew pretty pink. Well, I m just browsing, to be honest, IShe nodded. ‘Those are real good, by the way. She giggled. Well, good quality. Easy to keep clean. Rugged. For obvious reasons, I haven t taken one for a test drive myself.I chuckled, feeling my awkwardness recede a bit. That s one way of putting it. For obvious reasons I thought before answering Well, I could hardly expect you to have, could I? That being said, shops like this are quite particular, no? Normally, asking the shopkeeper for recommendations and whether she d used the product herself would be reasonable, but here, I guess it would get me me-too d right away? How do you actually reply if someone holds up something and asks, well, is this one any good?I smiled weakly while feeling my cheeks getting rosier again, hoping I hadn t overstepped any bounds. I got a chuckle for my trouble. Well, please try to keep the exciting images out of your mind, but to tell you the truth, we do test quite a lot of the stuff we sell.She blushed a little, herself. Well, we must buy them, of course, though at a steep discount. She turned her gaze down as the sentence trailed off, giving me a chance to look her over without being too obvious about it as the images she d been warning me about started to manifest themselves to my inner eye. I guessed she could be in her early thirties, a few years younger than me. Quite cute, slender, narrow hips, a loose-fitting, turquoise sweater doing its best to hide her ample bosom I d already undressed her in my mind, trying to imagine her testing the huge dildos in the glass display cabinet right behind her.Oh no, I hadn t been blushing earlier. Now; NOW I was blushing.She lifted her gaze again and giggled. Let me guess. Exciting images?I could hardly deny it, and she could hardly take affront, either. I turned my own gaze down, intensely studying my rather rumpled leather boots. There was no way in hell I d be able to meet her stare while saying it. Oh, guilty as charged. I made a helpless gesture with my arm towards the toys on display I imagined both this and that, I ll admit.Well, there s a reason we don t have fitting rooms, you know! Her giggle turned to a quick laugh which she stifled as quickly. I felt my mood rise just by hearing it; it had a chirping quality, sounded almost like a bird s cry. In improving spirits; and, frankly, quite turned on; this young, cute woman had more or less told me that she test ran a lot of the toys in the store. Now my eyes wandered around the room, desperate not to meet her stare, while every time I saw something titillating I imagined her using it on herself. Not that there was anything extraordinary about a woman in her thirties enjoying herself, but the mere thought, as she was standing two feet away from me Fuck. I was rock hard. I hoped it wasn t too obvious.Here goes nothing. Had I first said A, I might as well say B, too. I felt a bit braver, thinking we could spin a bit on this, while still keeping it innocent. She looked amused, too. That s kind of unfair, though, isn t it? Any woman walking into this store can get, ah, expert advice, whereas I, as a man, will have to take your word for it Oh, this one is good; I haven t tried it, but it is good, believe me!She laughed. Loud. I swear to all that s holy, had we ever had a male shop assistant here, he d be loaded down with all the male solo toys we could muster and be told to test the hell out of them; and take notes while he was at it! She turned serious. Wouldn t do you much good, though; I d be most surprised if there s even a single man in town who d casually ask another if that sex toy of his was any good or not.I d have to give her that. Chitchatting about sex did come a lot easier when I did it with a woman.Just that. There s a reason we re all women working here, she smiled. Women sell better to both men and women than, say, a fifty-something, balding, pudgy male in a soiled T-shirt and sweat pants. She chuckled. Beg your pardon for letting my prejudices shine through, by the way.I laughed out loud again, realizing I was getting close to asking her what she did once she d closed shop; she had, in a few minutes since I d become aware she even existed, shown herself to be one of those all too rare people who could get me in a good mood simply by being there; and that she could quip about sex and seemingly be at ease was an added bonus. Plus, of course, she was incredibly cute. I caught the warm, brown eyes peering out under her unruly mop of reddish hair, trying to come up with a suitable response before the silence became awkward or she trotted on through the shop, ending our moment.She glanced down at her watch, and my heart sank like a stone; opportunity wasted, I thought; until I heard what she had to say.Look Now I want you to be real careful; not getting the wrong idea as to what I am suggesting, okay? You are not going to have sex with me, capisce? Well, she had my full and undivided attention, even if I wouldn t get to sleep with her. I nodded, firmly. No fucking her. OK.I m about to close shop, now. If you, ahem, would like to test the fleshlight before you buy it, you can do so, okay? But, you re going to have to buy it afterwards, obviously. The lube is on the house.I gawked at her. Wow. I nodded, numbly. This couldn t be, could it? But I wouldn t want to miss this for the world. I nodded again, vigorously. She smiled a quick smile, then went to the entrance to lock the doors, glancing over her shoulder at me as she did so, throwing me another smile.Returning, she grabbed a bottle of lube from a shelf, and motioned for me to follow her as she walked past. As if I needed any prodding. It d probably be best to use our office, rather than have you go at it here under the bright lights, she suggested softly. I just shrugged. I d follow her anywhere. My cock was rather a simpleton.As we exited a door with a 'staff only sign at the back of the shop, we entered the kind of storeroom you ll find somewhere in any shop in the world; shelves stocked with all kinds of goods, except Well, these goods were very much adult toys. Darting past a crate packed to the gunwales with inflatable dolls; inflated!, she giggled Meet last year s Christmas decorations; we couldn t sell them, but neither could we bring ourselves to throw them away I shook my head, dumbfounded.She nodded towards a green door near the corner of the storeroom That s where you ll get to find out if the fleshlight is any goodShe opened the door, hinges groaning. I ve been meaning to grease those for ages, wonder if I can use this lube? she mused as we entered a small-ish, run-down office. Lots of papers were covering just about any horizontal surface; a desk with a computer and a phone on it and a small coffee table in front of a battered old sofa tucked into a corner; piles of merchandise along the far wall.Nodding towards the sofa, she suggested I take a seat before seating herself on the office chair by the desk. I hope you don t mind me watching. After all, I have a certain, um, professional interest in seeing how you get along with it, you know. , throwing me another smile; a warm, seemingly genuine one. She didn t appear to be wholly untouched, herself.I fumbled with the packaging. What sadist had invented welded plastic? Probably a good thing when it came to protecting sex toys on display, but when you were about to unwrap it to try it out? Not so much. My audience reached for a pair of scissors and motioned for me to lob her the fleshlight. You get out of your jeans, I ll get this out, OK? she suggested. I nodded, still not trusting my voice to bear.I hardly needed any more encouragement. I tugged at my belt, seconds later dropping my jeans to the floor, stepping out of them. My briefs were unceremoniously shoved down my thighs, and as I rose again, my almost painfully erect cock pointed arrogantly at the ceiling, the shopkeeper raising her eyebrows a little and giggling softly as she took the sight in while cutting open the packaging separating me from instant bliss.With a satisfied Hah! Finally! she pulled the fleshlight from its by now shredded plastic cover and reached over to hand it to me. I shamelessly ogled her cleavage before reverting to holding her gaze. As I said, this is good shit. You won t be able to destroy this one during normal use She proceeded to explain how important it was to clean it after use, stressing that they had both suitable toy cleaner and disinfectant in the store. Most gentle for the silicone, that stuff; unlike the dish soap most people tend to useHer sentence trailed off, apparently she got struck by the same thing I had; that this was an absurd time to discuss maintenance. My apologies, I got a bit carried away. Here.Accepting the toy, I glanced over at the bottle of lube perched on the edge of her desk. Turning around, she reached the bottle and spun back to present it to me. There you go, put lots in the fleshlight, some around the entrance and a little on your johnson, and you re good to go.Nodding, I did as she had suggested; an ample spurt of lube into the pale, pink thingy, then a little around the sculpted pussy lips. Bah, in a way it would have been better if they hadn t tried so hard to make it look like the real thing. Seeing as you wanted my observations, I think it would have been better if it was just an opening, not modeled to look like a real pussy; you know, no matter how good this may turn out to be, it can t possibly compare to the real thingDoh, she exclaimed as she rolled her eyes. I should have mentioned that, there s a neutral version, too; and, believe it or not, a few which are supposedly modeled after famous porn stars pussies, whether you believe it or not. Anyway, they probably all feel the same; just look at something, anything else while you re using it.I d be lying if I claimed I thought it would matter much what it looked like once it was wrapped around me. Squirting a wee bit of lube in the palm of my hand, I stroked myself a couple of times, ensuring I got some on the purplish, swollen head, too; unless I slipped in unhindered, I d be sore afterwards, of that I was certain.Positioning the fleshlight against the glans, I looked over at the shopkeeper. She stared back, eagerly anticipating my next move; not that she d have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what that would be. Gently pressing the fleshlight towards me, I slid into my first silicone pussy. It was just tight enough to feel natural-ish, I d hand the designers that; but it felt rather cold and, well, dead.What s it like? she asked, voice quivering slightly. Oh, not too bad, I replied Though it does feel a bit cold and. ah, dead, if I may say so at the moment, but that should improve shortly Giving it a couple of strokes, I could already feel it begin to warm up.She raised her stare from my fleshlight-wrapped member to meet mine. Fuck me, I really am not doing my job properly, now; I just remembered that the manufacturer recommend that you put it in warm water for a few minutes before use, precisely to avoid that corpse bride-feeling. My apologies.I nodded. That d probably do the trick, I m sure. However ; I let it slide back and forth a few times, feeling the soft silicone caress my oh-so-erect cock; it does feel really good, don t get me wrong; and it keeps getting warmer by the second!Having said that, I stroked myself in silence for a few moments, slowly, deliberately; pulling it off me until my cock emerged from it, exposing the swollen, lube-glistening head for my very attentive audience, then shoving myself into it again. Oh yes, it felt better and better. While no one would ever mistake it for the real thing; well, no one who had ever had the good fortune to have the real thing wrapped around oneself, anyway; it definitely felt good, much better than a simple handjob.It keeps getting better, I grunted. Would work better still if one could take it out of the casing, though; you know, to adjust the pressure, using it as a sleeve over my cock; would feel more alive, then.She nodded. I ll keep that in mind, in case someone asks. I believe you can take it out for cleaning, by the way; so you could probably, um, go au-naturel on it, if that s your preference. ; before again staring at my cock sliding in and out of the toy, mesmerised.I felt like I was being on display; quite naturally, seeing as that was just what I was; but caught myself enjoying it. My audience was really cute and sexy as hell; well, truth be told, I d probably find even Margaret Thatcher hot as fuck if she had stared at my masturbating with that sultry look my watcher now sent me; but I digress. I was turned on, way beyond what I would have been had I been doing the deed at home, alone.I coughed softly, then slowing the pace a bit as I caught her stare again. Uh, I know there won t be any actual sex, that s not what I m fishing for now, but Would you mind, ah, could I Well, have a little glimpse of your charms? Some bare skin? Just to help me over the edge? I must have looked like a pleading puppy, as she burst into laughter, luckily a good-natured one.After first shaking her head, she apparently had second thoughts and nodded. I swallowed. This intensely erotic moment was about to become even hotter. Grabbing the hem of her sweater, she pulled it over her head and revealed a black, low-cut bra and ample cleavage. Lovely, pillowy, full breasts. My pace picked up.Don t you think about touching me, don t even reach for me, OK? she said, sternly. I nodded, hoping I looked like I d be true to my word. God knows how reliable one looks when masturbating to the sight of the girl asking you to keep your hands off her.She apparently found my promise good enough, and, after reaching behind her back for a second, the bra fell into her lap and her breasts swung free. I swallowed again, almost in disbelief. They were really beautiful; round, full and pillowy, large, but not so large as to be saggy; they proudly stood form her chest, slightly pear-shaped, milky white and crowned by the largest, weakly drawn areolas I d ever seen, pale pink, crested with nipples looking as if you d be able to cut glass with them, so hard were they.She was amazing, and I wasted no time telling her so as my cock hardened further still inside the silicone wrapper I was now doing my best to fuck the daylights out of while keeping my eyes locked on the shopkeeper, occasionally falling to her wonderful breasts, but mostly maintaining eye contact.She leant back in her chair, her breasts gently parting. My turn to be mesmerised. I could already feel the familiar tingling telling me my strokes were numbered and my orgasm forthcoming; I d be done for shortly.The fleshlight was now at body temperature, and felt much, much more lifelike, albeit still no match for a woman, I grunted through clenched teeth no muscles milking me, no body thrust against mine, no hands feverishly stroking over my back, hugging me close as orgasm approaches; but it does feel pretty pretty damned good!Nodding absentmindedly, she stroked a hand over her right breast, cupping it, then pinching her nipple between her thumb and index finger, moaning softly.I m about to cum, I grunted, snapping her back to reality. Oh, please do it in that one, huh? , she nodded to an empty mug on the table between us. I want to see you cum. I nodded, feverishly working my cock with the latest addition to my meagre sex toy collection. Lean forward, please , I snapped I want to see those lovely tits swaying under youLaughingly, she obliged, leaning forward, then rocking side to side. Like this, huh? she teased, smiling warmly at me as the heavy globes swayed back and forth under her.Yes. Just like that. There was no use trying to hold back. Two more strokes, and I could feel my orgasm erupting, a tad before I d expected it to. And here I was, figuring I had it under controlI jerked the fleshlight off my cock, throwing it on the floor, sending spurt after spurt of cum over the table, grasping for the mug, missing, shooting another spurt halfway across the room towards her; at least it felt like it; before finally grabbing the mug and shooting the last, feeble spurt into it. I felt my earlobes glow with embarrassment as I came in for landing after the massive orgasm, only to see the mess I d made; cum streaks over invoices, a pack of cigarettes, the table itself, a lighterMy companion laughed, totally losing it in a fit of laughter, her breasts jiggling as she shook You should ve seen yourself!!! , she eventually gasped, regaining some control over herself. It was the most absurd sight I ve ever seen, so incredibly hot, you in the midst of such an orgasm, frantically trying to grab my old mugI joined her, a bit hesitantly at first. It had indeed been comedy hour. I hoped there wasn t a surveillance camera here, for if it did, I d be bound to find myself on some amateur blooper reel shortly.Never mind, though, she giggled. I ll get that cleaned up in no time. Without getting her sweater back on, she left the room. Seconds later I heard the tell-tale sound of water pouring from a faucet and paper being torn from a roll. She returned, hand full of tissue paper, and handed me some. Here, clean yourself up; then I ll show you how to clean your latest conquest afterwards.She leaned in over the table and cleaned up any trace of my little indiscretion. I really had to fight the urge to reach out and touch the lovely form right in front of my eyes; but managed. I d promised, after all; and I d had a wonderful experience, I wouldn t want to ruin it by doing anything which might scare or offend her in any way. I leaned back in the sofa while cleaning most of the lube off my semi-erect cock, softly caressing it as I stared hungrily at her, finishing up the table.I followed her to the cupboard next to the office; standing close to her; still dressed like Venus of Milo, only with arms; in the tiny room, I could feel the warmth of her body against mine as she fumbled the fleshlight open, taking out the silicone innards. Just hold it under lukewarm water, first, to get rid of your cum and the lube, then wipe it clean with a little bit of the toy cleaner I ll give you when we re back in the shop and it ll be ready for its next outing.She glanced up at me, noting my attention was on her, rather than on the most useful instructions she were supplying. Better leave it outside its sheath overnight to allow it to dry properly, she said. Well, unless you find you prefer to use just the inner sleeve, of course. Quick smile.With that, she handed the toy back to me. Just head back out in the shop, you. I ll be with you in a minute, just need to get dressed. I was treated to a smile too cute to be believed, and I was bright enough not to overstay my welcome by asking for just a few more glimpses of her.I threw a last, longing glance at her beautiful, curvy shape, met her gaze; a rather lustful one at that!; and smiled at her. I ll do some window shopping, then, see if I find more playthings catching my fancy. I then turned and briskly headed back into the shop, again passing the surreal pile of inflatable dolls, one still sporting a santa s cap.She sure took her time getting dressed; I imagined she d figured she needed

While no one would ever mistake it for the real thing; well, no one who had ever had the good fortune to have the real thing wrapped around oneself, anyway; it definitely felt good, much better than a simple handjob.It keeps getting better, I grunted. Would work better still if one could take it out of the casing, though; you know, to adjust the pressure, using it as a sleeve over my cock; would feel more alive, then.She nodded. I ll keep that in mind, in case someone asks. I believe you can take it out for cleaning, by the way; so you could probably, um, go au-naturel on it, if that s your preference. ; before again staring at my cock sliding in and out of the toy, mesmerised.I felt like I was being on display; quite naturally, seeing as that was just what I was; but caught myself enjoying it. My audience was really cute and sexy as hell; well, truth be told, I d probably find even Margaret Thatcher hot as fuck if she had stared at my masturbating with that sultry look my watcher now sent me; but I digress. I was turned on, way beyond what I would have been had I been doing the deed at home, alone.I coughed softly, then slowing the pace a bit as I caught her stare again. Uh, I know there won t be any actual sex, that s not what I m fishing for now, but Would you mind, ah, could I Well, have a little glimpse of your charms? Some bare skin? Just to help me over the edge? I must have looked like a pleading puppy, as she burst into laughter, luckily a good-natured one.After first shaking her head, she apparently had second thoughts and nodded. I swallowed. This intensely erotic moment was about to become even hotter. Grabbing the hem of her sweater, she pulled it over her head and revealed a black, low-cut bra and ample cleavage. Lovely, pillowy, full breasts. My pace picked up.Don t you think about touching me, don t even reach for me, OK? she said, sternly. I nodded, hoping I looked like I d be true to my word. God knows how reliable one looks when masturbating to the sight of the girl asking you to keep your hands off her.She apparently found my promise good enough, and, after reaching behind her back for a second, the bra fell into her lap and her breasts swung free. I swallowed again, almost in disbelief. They were really beautiful; round, full and pillowy, large, but not so large as to be saggy; they proudly stood form her chest, slightly pear-shaped, milky white and crowned by the largest, weakly drawn areolas I d ever seen, pale pink, crested with nipples looking as if you d be able to cut glass with them, so hard were they.She was amazing, and I wasted no time telling her so as my cock hardened further still inside the silicone wrapper I was now doing my best to fuck the daylights out of while keeping my eyes locked on the shopkeeper, occasionally falling to her wonderful breasts, but mostly maintaining eye contact.She leant back in her chair, her breasts gently parting. My turn to be mesmerised. I could already feel the familiar tingling telling me my strokes were numbered and my orgasm forthcoming; I d be done for shortly.The fleshlight was now at body temperature, and felt much, much more lifelike, albeit still no match for a woman, I grunted through clenched teeth no muscles milking me, no body thrust against mine, no hands feverishly stroking over my back, hugging me close as orgasm approaches; but it does feel pretty pretty damned good!Nodding absentmindedly, she stroked a hand over her right breast, cupping it, then pinching her nipple between her thumb and index finger, moaning softly.I m about to cum, I grunted, snapping her back to reality. Oh, please do it in that one, huh? , she nodded to an empty mug on the table between us. I want to see you cum. I nodded, feverishly working my cock with the latest addition to my meagre sex toy collection. Lean forward, please , I snapped I want to see those lovely tits swaying under youLaughingly, she obliged, leaning forward, then rocking side to side. Like this, huh? she teased, smiling warmly at me as the heavy globes swayed back and forth under her.Yes. Just like that. There was no use trying to hold back. Two more strokes, and I could feel my orgasm erupting, a tad before I d expected it to. And here I was, figuring I had it under controlI jerked the fleshlight off my cock, throwing it on the floor, sending spurt after spurt of cum over the table, grasping for the mug, missing, shooting another spurt halfway across the room towards her; at least it felt like it; before finally grabbing the mug and shooting the last, feeble spurt into it. I felt my earlobes glow with embarrassment as I came in for landing after the massive orgasm, only to see the mess I d made; cum streaks over invoices, a pack of cigarettes, the table itself, a lighterMy companion laughed, totally losing it in a fit of laughter, her breasts jiggling as she shook You should ve seen yourself!!! , she eventually gasped, regaining some control over herself. It was the most absurd sight I ve ever seen, so incredibly hot, you in the midst of such an orgasm, frantically trying to grab my old mugI joined her, a bit hesitantly at first. It had indeed been comedy hour. I hoped there wasn t a surveillance camera here, for if it did, I d be bound to find myself on some amateur blooper reel shortly.Never mind, though, she giggled. I ll get that cleaned up in no time. Without getting her sweater back on, she left the room. Seconds later I heard the tell-tale sound of water pouring from a faucet and paper being torn from a roll. She returned, hand full of tissue paper, and handed me some. Here, clean yourself up; then I ll show you how to clean your latest conquest afterwards.She leaned in over the table and cleaned up any trace of my little indiscretion. I really had to fight the urge to reach out and touch the lovely form right in front of my eyes; but managed. I d promised, after all; and I d had a wonderful experience, I wouldn t want to ruin it by doing anything which might scare or offend her in any way. I leaned back in the sofa while cleaning most of the lube off my semi-erect cock, softly caressing it as I stared hungrily at her, finishing up the table.I followed her to the cupboard next to the office; standing close to her; still dressed like Venus of Milo, only with arms; in the tiny room, I could feel the warmth of her body against mine as she fumbled the fleshlight open, taking out the silicone innards. Just hold it under lukewarm water, first, to get rid of your cum and the lube, then wipe it clean with a little bit of the toy cleaner I ll give you when we re back in the shop and it ll be ready for its next outing.She glanced up at me, noting my attention was on her, rather than on the most useful instructions she were supplying. Better leave it outside its sheath overnight to allow it to dry properly, she said. Well, unless you find you prefer to use just the inner sleeve, of course. Quick smile.With that, she handed the toy back to me. Just head back out in the shop, you. I ll be with you in a minute, just need to get dressed. I was treated to a smile too cute to be believed, and I was bright enough not to overstay my welcome by asking for just a few more glimpses of her.I threw a last, longing glance at her beautiful, curvy shape, met her gaze; a rather lustful one at that!; and smiled at her. I ll do some window shopping, then, see if I find more playthings catching my fancy. I then turned and briskly headed back into the shop, again passing the surreal pile of inflatable dolls, one still sporting a santa s cap.She sure took her time getting dressed; I imagined she d figured she needed

A Wonderful Wednesday With Linda Kerns In The House. Talking Music In This Short Segment. Dawn And Linda Breaking Down All The Top News Stories. Reacting To Jasmine Crockets Comments About Losing The Primary And The First Sinking Of An Enemy Ship By Torpedo Since WW2

Welcome back to the podcast, I'm Jamie Baynes. This episode's guest is a good friend of mine and Hanover County Emergency Communications Center dispatcher Shannon Harell. I've known Shannon for years, but never had the opportunity to pronounce her last name, so I texted her just before the episode and asked her how to do so. She told me, and I still mispronounced it. Luckily, since she's a dispatcher, she's used to officers' verbal flubs. Regardless, she's a wonderful person, and I hope you enjoy our conversation.After you listen, let me know what you think of Shannon. Everyone knows that dispatchers are some of my favorite people, and Shannon is no exception. And the fact that she and her husband fostered so many children really warmed my heart. Whatever the future holds for Shannon and her family, I hope she'll come back and talk to me some more.So, until next time, take care of one another, always be kind to one another, and as always, thanks for listening.

We’ve come a long way since references to lesbians could potentially land you jail-time and lesbian culture was less visible in literature and the arts, social commentary and public life. From anthemic pop icons Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish to commercially successful flicks like Bottoms and Love Lies Bleeding, lesbian culture is having a moment. In the fifty years since the rallying cry “Lesbians are Lovely!” was sprawled across walls, bodies and picket boards in the fight for recognition and liberation, there have been many developments in queer identity and culture. But are we making space for all lesbians and how can we celebrate every part of our community? Hosted by Walkley Award-winning journalist, presenter and producer Mon Schafter and featuring a trailblazing lineup of panellist, including Kate Rowe, an activist and advocate ‘78er who marched in the original Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras; Kath Ebbs queer actor, presenter and content creator; and Jackie Turner, trans woman, social justice and climate organiser, and Director of Trans Justice Project. This event is co-presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas (in collaboration with Dr Yves Rees) and Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Dr. Mireille Vega—the chemist and former biotech executive known to many as Dr. Mimi V—for a conversation that completely reframes how we think about our skin. Moving far beyond typical beauty chatter, Dr. Mimi shares her unique philosophy of Skin Science 3.0, a paradigm that treats the skin not as a simple surface to be treated, but as a dynamic, living system. Drawing on her extensive background in immunology and oncology, as well as profound personal experiences, Dr. Mimi V explains why the standard, symptom-focused approach to skincare is often working against us. She guides listeners through the intricate world of the skin's ecosystem, detailing the critical interplay between the skin barrier and its microbiome. Listeners will learn the vital difference between simply treating a breakout and truly supporting the skin's function to build lasting resilience. Dr. Mimi V offers a masterclass in listening to what our skin is telling us, emphasizing that a "squeaky clean" feeling is often a sign of distress. This episode is a powerful invitation to shift from a mindset of correction to one of genuine support, empowering women to trust their skin's innate intelligence.

Fin 2024, le quartier de Solino, à Port-au-Prince, est tombé aux mains des gangs. Pillages, incendies, affrontements : des centaines d'habitants ont fui pour échapper aux violences. En août dernier, les groupes armés ont annoncé leur retraite. Depuis, timidement, des familles reviennent. Elles retrouvent des maisons détruites et un climat sécuritaire toujours fragile. Malgré les promesses gouvernementales, l'aide tarde à arriver. Les habitants n'ont d'autres choix que de reconstruire seuls. Un Grand reportage de Justine Fontaine et Achim Lippold. « C'était un champ de guerre » Le père Gardy Maisonneuve, directeur de l'organisation humanitaire Sant Karl Levêque, nous conduit jusqu'à Solino. Il coordonne le programme gouvernemental « Retour au quartier », censé encourager les habitants à revenir et leur fournir un soutien financier. Pour atteindre Solino, nous traversons d'abord Christ-Roi, autre quartier autrefois considéré comme un « territoire perdu ». Ici aussi, les gangs ont laissé leur empreinte : impacts de balles sur les façades, maisons calcinées sans toit, grilles de fenêtres tordues par la chaleur. « C'était un champ de guerre », commente le père Gardy Maisonneuve, en pointant du doigt la limite jusqu'à laquelle les groupes armés ont pu avancer. L'activité reprend pourtant, timidement. On voit des étals du marché informel à nouveau installés sur le trottoir. « Les gens reviennent », observe le père Gardy Maisonneuve. La circulation reste clairsemée : « C'est moins dense qu'avant… c'est plus tranquille. » Des maisons saccagées, des vies à reconstruire À Christ-Roi, Marie Solange nous ouvre les portes de ce qu'il reste de sa maison. L'intérieur est plongé dans l'obscurité : il n'y a plus d'électricité. Les fils ont été arrachés par les gangs, probablement revendus au marché noir. Marie Solange ignore quand elle pourra vraiment revenir s'y installer. « L'ampleur des dégâts est énorme », dit-elle, encore sous le choc. Son voisin, Frantz Kelly, informaticien, regarde aussi sur les ruines de son habitation qui n'a même plus de toit. « Tout a brûlé », dit-il, en nous montrant les pièces qui servaient autrefois de salon, de salle de bain et de chambres. Sans ressources et sans aide des autorités haïtiennes pour reconstruire sa maison, un retour est difficile d'envisager. « Peut-être cette année encore, mais je n'ai pas encore de date », nous dit-il. Pierre, 60 ans, n'a pas eu le choix. Les conditions de son hébergement provisoire étaient intenables. Il est revenu vivre ici avec sa femme et ses cinq enfants, malgré l'état de la maison. « J'ai dû m'enfuir parce que les gangs ont tué beaucoup de gens, il y avait des cadavres par terre. Je suis parti avec le strict minimum ». Il nous conduit à l'étage et nous montre sa chambre, vide. « Les moustiques nous empêchent de dormir. J'ai mis des cartons à la place des vitres. Et des cartons par terre, sur lesquels je dors avec mon épouse. Je n'ai pas d'argent pour racheter des fenêtres ou des lits. Solino, paysage apocalyptique En arrivant dans le quartier de Solino, le décor se durcit encore : carcasses de voitures, maisons effondrées, rues presque désertes. Malgré le retrait des gangs, la sécurité n'est pas garantie. Nous sommes escortés par un policier et un habitant du quartier qui nous sert de guide. Nous rencontrons Joseph Hervé, ferronnier depuis plus de quarante ans, il travaille sur le trottoir. Son atelier a été saccagé, ses générateurs volés. « Je fabrique une porte avec une fenêtre. Quelqu'un un peu plus loin s'est fait arracher la sienne. Je vais l'installer dès qu'elle sera prête. ». Comme beaucoup, il ne reste que la journée et repart avant la tombée de la nuit. C'est le cas d'Henri aussi, venu inspecter sa maison. Il redoute le retour des gangs qui contrôle le quartier voisin de Bel-Air, à quinze minutes à pied. Revenir, faute d'alternative Une insécurité que Lovely, 21 ans, confirme : « Depuis plus d'une semaine, j'entends des tirs. On dit qu'il y a une opération de police à Bel-Air. Les balles sifflent jusqu'ici. On doit s'abriter derrière les murs pour éviter les balles perdues. ». On lui demande si la police prévient les habitants avant d'intervenir ?« Non ! », répond-elle. Lovely et sa famille ont pourtant décidé de rentrer. Ils n'avaient plus d'autre solution, explique sa mère, Célina. « J'ai tout perdu. Je n'ai gardé que mes deux mains et mes deux pieds. On a vécu dans un camp de déplacés, mais la situation était trop mauvaise. J'ai dû revenir. » Pour survivre, elles ont ouvert une petite épicerie au rez-de-chaussée : quelques produits de première nécessité, juste assez pour garder la tête hors de l'eau. Mais les besoins sont immenses. « Je vis de ce commerce, mais je ne peux pas réparer les portes ni les toilettes. Nous sommes cinq à dépendre de moi. Mon mari a fait une crise cardiaque après l'attaque. Il ne peut plus travailler. L'école demande déjà les frais d'inscription… je n'ai pas les moyens. » Un enjeu stratégique pour Port-au-Prince Le programme gouvernemental « Retour au quartier » affiche une ambition forte : reconstruire Solino et éviter qu'il ne retombe sous le contrôle des gangs. « Solino est comme la ceinture de Port-au-Prince », explique le père Gardy Maisonneuve. Sa position stratégique en fait un verrou pour la sécurité des hauteurs de la capitale. Mais pour un retour durable, les quartiers voisins doivent être pacifiés. Ce qui est loin d'être acquis. Se reconstruire avec un État absent Face à une école abandonnée criblée d'impacts de balles, un habitant exprime son scepticisme sur la capacité de la police haïtienne de repousser les gangs. « Les policiers sont des bluffeurs. Ce n'est pas aux gangs de se rendre, c'est à la police d'aller les chercher. Ici, nous n'avons rien. Pas d'eau, pas de nourriture. Ils doivent arrêter les gangs pour qu'ils n'aient plus que deux options : le cimetière ou la prison ». En attendant un soutien concret, les habitants nettoient les rues, ramassent les gravats, commencent à réparer tant bien que mal. Pour l'instant, à Solino, la reconstruction repose avant tout sur la résilience des habitants eux-mêmes.

In this solo episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely delivers an urgent and empowering message about brain health that every woman needs to hear. She breaks down a brand-new research review examining how menopause specifically impacts the female brain, revealing why postmenopausal women account for more than 60 percent of those living with Alzheimer's disease. Rather than leaving listeners with frightening statistics, Dr. Lovely transforms this information into actionable knowledge, explaining exactly how declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone along with inadequate nutrition, stress and aging create a perfect storm for neurodegeneration through increased inflammation, and breakdown of the protective blood-brain barrier. What makes this episode particularly valuable is Dr. Lovely's practical guidance on modifiable risk factors that women can address starting today. She explores the critical connection between the gut microbiome and brain defense systems, offering specific nutritional strategies that support cognitive health during the menopausal transition. Listeners will learn why good protein intake becomes non-negotiable at midlife, which foods deliver the omega-3s, antioxidants, and flavonoids brains desperately need, and how to identify ultra-processed and nutrient-void foods that may be undermining our efforts. Dr. Lovely also addresses timely concerns about popular weight loss medications, explaining why adequate nutrition must remain the priority even when appetite is suppressed. The episode concludes with fascinating news from the research front: hormone replacement therapy has now been shown to reverse many of the inflammatory changes that occur with hormone decline, stabilizing the blood-brain barrier and offering genuine neuroprotective benefits. For any woman who has ever wondered whether her brain health is within her control, this episode provides helpful answers and practical tools to make a meaningful difference.  For easy reference, Dr. Lovely has compiled the products mentioned in this episode right here: Jaspr - air filtration Ultrahuman - sleep and recovery biometrics ring Chilipad - temp controlled mattress pad Apollo neuro - vagus nerve modulating tool AG1 - complete vitamins and mineral supplement Just Thrive - the best probiotic   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode: ❤️Berkeley Life is a health brand that helps women feel vibrant by addressing the crucial role nitric oxide and circulation play in daily wellness, especially around menopause.

Episode 322: What makes you instantly leery of a person or situation - and why does your gut matter more than you think? In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, Vonda, Lori, and Ellie unpack the meaning of being “leery,” from fast-talking salespeople and sketchy orders to AI, customer behavior, and everyday red flags we've all learned to recognize.Inspired by everything from Olympic backstories to Valentine's Day scams, door-to-door sales, restaurant etiquette, and even Mount Everest, this episode explores how lived experience shapes intuition and why being cautious isn't a flaw, it's wisdom.Along the way, they tie it back to floristry and business: trusting your instincts with customers, orders, employees, technology, and relationships, while still staying open-hearted and kind. Plus, a fun rapid-fire game of Leery or Lovely to test your own gut reactions.If you've ever thought, “Something about this doesn't sit right,” this episode reminds you: that feeling exists for a reason.Sponsored by: Flower CliqueFlower Clique Prep SchoolReal Life Retail Florist

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with the renowned "Queen of Hormones," Dr. Carrie Jones, for a candid and wide-ranging conversation that cuts through the noise surrounding women's health at midlife. As a Naturopathic Physician with advanced degrees in public health and endocrinology, Dr. Jones brings over two decades of clinical experience to the discussion, offering listeners a masterclass in understanding their own physiology. The conversation explores why Gen X and elder millennial women are uniquely positioned to challenge the status quo when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Jones explains that hormone therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a nuanced process that requires individualized attention, much like finding the perfect skincare routine. She addresses the moving target of hormone optimization, explaining how factors like skin thickness, lifestyle, and even climate can affect absorption and efficacy. Listeners will gain valuable insight into the distinction between early and late perimenopause, why progesterone typically declines first, and how estradiol influences everything from serotonin production to joint health. Dr. Jones also sheds light on the critical connection between declining hormones and mental health, explaining why so many women are misdiagnosed and prescribed antidepressants when what they truly need is hormone support. Throughout the episode, both hosts emphasize the importance of testing to understand what's actually happening under the hood rather than relying on guesswork. This is an empowering discussion about taking ownership of your health journey and refusing to accept inadequate answers.

Send a textHello 2026! Lovely to be in you AND lovely to welcome today's podcast star Dr Erin Harrington, Senior Lecturer Above Bar at Canterbury University. An academic at Penny's alma mater (which apparently means nourishing mother...) Erin is one of Showy Ovaries' cleverest interviewees yet, keeping Penny on her toes following her quicksilver brain. Her specialist topics are horror, gynaehorror (horror regarding women's bodies), children's stories (of course!) and cultural activism. She has published a book called Women, Monstrosity and Horror Film, is a trustee of The Word Festival in Christchurch, and is an incredibly prolific and respected reviewer through her own blog; Flat City Field Notes.Penny popped around to her central whare to chat all things fleshy, where they delved into what it is to live with bi-polar disorder and the treatment that saved her life, getting an endometriosis diagnosis and why her holding a microphone could look pornographic. Oh and blood, guts, intestines and chainsaw massacres. Natch. Support the show

If you think of cardiovascular blood flow as just a background bodily process, this episode will completely change your perspective. Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back the brilliant Cathy Eason, MS, BCHN, for a masterclass on one of the body's most critical signaling molecules. With her deep expertise in human nutrition, physiology, and translating complex biology into clinical insights, Cathy reveals why nitric oxide is a foundational pillar for women navigating perimenopause and beyond. The conversation dives into a powerful, yet often overlooked, concept: that cardiovascular blood flow is our power source. Cathy explains how declining nitric oxide production, which naturally begins to drop around age 40, directly impacts everything from energy levels and brain fog to hormone balance and cardiovascular resilience. She details the fascinating connection between our oral microbiome, dietary nitrates from leafy greens, and our body's ability to create this vital compound. Listeners will gain crucial education on the direct link between nitric oxide, blood pressure regulation, and heart health—a critical topic for women, as heart disease remains the number one killer. Cathy also unveils exciting insights into how supporting this pathway can influence other hallmark menopausal experiences, including sleep disturbances, temperature dysregulation, and even sexual wellness, by enhancing tissue perfusion and nervous system balance. This episode is a compelling call to focus on this fundamental aspect of our biology for both immediate symptom relief and long-term vitality.  Find out more about Nitric Oxide at berkeleylife.com!

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Fearne Cotton, originally episode 295 from 2019-10-30.Original writeup below:This is the mirror side of a two podcast deal the two of them struck up, where Pip appeared on her ‘Happy Place' podcast, so as you'll witness, the driver is often interchangeable, but it's all perfect as they get on just grand. Maybe it's because they were born a month apart and have the same cultural touchstones - WHO KNOWS! Whatever the case, it's a breeze of a podcast which touches on so much including a sentence which features Hanson and Led Zeppelin in the same breath (in fact I think it could be called an “Mmm Bop-cast” but that's of no consequence), her intro into different kinds of music, being mates with Sarah Cawood and how she eventually got into gig going through her, Coldplay haters, the power of music shared on a mass scale, cathartic crying sessions, early days of her presenting on TV and growing up in front of the camera, presenting the Disney Club, still being treated as a kid in adult life, the old fashioned kid poop story which serves as a grounding device, how being a cool parent isn't possible, her book ‘Happy', losing her sense of self in her 20's and regaining it later, social media, podcast therapy, changing one's self in the midst of crisis and her work with CoppaFeel. But of course, SO much more. Lovely stuff from start to end.

In this week's conversation, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Dr. Shivani Gupta. Dr. Gupta's journey is a compelling story of transformation, moving from a childhood marked by chronic illness and over-reliance on antibiotics to discovering profound healing through her heritage and Ayurvedic medicine. This personal quest led her to deep academic and practical exploration of Ayurveda, culminating in a Ph.D. focused on turmeric and the development of her pioneering approach. Dr. Gupta illuminates the foundational principles of Ayurveda, an ancient system focused on holistic balance and the unique elemental design, or dosha, of each individual. She explains how understanding your inherent constitution is the key to creating a truly customized and effective health plan, moving far beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. The discussion delves into powerful, natural tools for navigating midlife health. Dr. Gupta shares invaluable insights on adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha for stress resilience and cognitive support, and the critical importance of deep, restorative sleep for clearing inflammation and supporting overall vitality. Of course, she provides an expert deep-dive into turmeric (curcumin), detailing its multifaceted role in addressing systemic inflammation, gut health, and even specific menopausal symptoms. This episode is a masterclass in reclaiming sovereignty over your well-being. Dr. Gupta empowers listeners with the knowledge to integrate timeless Ayurvedic principles with modern understanding, creating a powerful, personalized strategy for vibrant health through menopause and beyond. Dr. Gupta's book, The Inflammation Code, just released!  Find it here!   Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:
