Join me and Lucy Rowett in our frank and honest conversation about how faith backgrounds and conservatism might be rubbing our libido up the wrong way.Lucy Rowett is a certified sexologist and sex coach and the host of the Naked and Unashamed Life podcast that focuses on sexual wellness. And in this conversation, we talk about:

Trigger warning: coercive control, sexual coercion, religious abuse. 

This week Ang is joined by the wonderful Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers. A licensed sex and gender feminist physiotherapist, author, researcher and professor whose expertise covers sex therapy, spiritual intimacy, parenting and social justice. In this expansive interview with Ang, Tina shares her valuable insights on the importance of creating strong bonds with your children. Sometimes that will be through difficult conversations and sometimes through your actions. However, being open and honest, as Tina explains, is a pathway to a wonderfully rewarding parent and child relationship. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tina has a wealth of experience and her services cover a broad range of subjects. But she didn’t just arrive there overnight. She explains to Ang how her early career as a therapist brought up more questions than answers and how that set her on a quest for knowledge. One of the big areas Tina tackles in her work is sex therapy. She explains to Ang how our attitudes about sex are developed from a very early age, and without knowing, embed behaviours in us so deeply we don’t even know they exist. Forming a bond of trust with your child is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Ang and Tina discuss their individual experiences of having difficult conversations with their children and how this led to a stronger relationship with them in the long term. As Ang has highlighted many times in the past, being a single parent is one of the hardest jobs you can have. Drawing on her wealth of knowledge and years of experience, Tina gives her advice on how to approach this role. BEST MOMENTS “You don’t need to figure everything out, you just need to be two years ahead of your kids.” “Be brave enough to look at your past and then you can begin to heal your present.” “When you open up to your children you are communicating with them that you are brave enough to talk about hard subjects with them.” GUEST LINKS @DrTinaShameless Facebook TinaSSellers drtinaschermesellers www.TinaSchermerSellers.com EPISODE LINKS Use the link below to sign up to the TalkingParents App. 30 Day FREE trial available alongside a completely FREE option too! https://talkingparents.com/dirhm If you enjoy this podcast here is the link to the book 'Do I Really H*te Men?'.

Is it possible that shame—not desire—is what's really blocking your pleasure?   In this episode, we talk about sex as a somatic healing practice—how it can regulate the nervous system, release stored emotion, and support a deeper sense of safety. This isn't about quick fixes—it's about learning to listen to your body, understand your needs, and create space for real connection.   We look at what keeps many of us disconnected from our bodies, and how tuning into self-awareness and embodiment can shift our relationship with pleasure. You'll also hear how communication, curiosity, and timing can change the way we connect—with ourselves and others.   To help unpack all of this, I'm joined by Dr. Emily Morse, host of Sex with Emily and a leading voice in sexual wellness. She shares her 5 Pillars of Sexual Intelligence and practical tools to reframe shame, rebuild intimacy, and bring more presence into your sex life.   Whether you're just starting to explore your relationship with sex or have been on this path for a while, this conversation offers real tools you can use today.   ===   Want one of the most Powerful Tools to Support you in Awakening & Manifesting Your Dream Life from the Inside Out (for Free)?   Learn how to live to your full potential without letting fear get in the way of your dreams.    ✨ Here's How to Get Your Gift: ✨ Step 1: Just head over to Apple Podcast or Spotify + leave a review now Step 2: Take a screenshot before hitting submit Step 3: Then go to alyssanobriga.com/podcast to upload it!   ===   EPISODE TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 00:30 Exploring Sexual Shame and Cultural Conditioning 00:57 Navigating Sexual Attraction and Compatibility 01:16 Episode Overview and Guest Introduction 02:01 Understanding Female Pleasure and Breaking Taboos 04:17 The Five Pillars of Sexual Intelligence 12:01 Sex as a Healing Practice 16:29 Reigniting Chemistry in Long-Term Relationships 27:56 The Role of Foreplay and Building Sexual Connection 30:53 Reigniting the Spark in Long-Term Relationships 32:03 Exploring New Sexual Experiences Together 33:25 The Importance of Healthy Conversations About Sex 36:02 Navigating Sexual Desires in Dating 38:41 Practical Tips for Deeper Sexual Conversations 41:44 The Role of Therapy in Maintaining Intimacy 45:55 Debunking Common Misconceptions About Sex 52:08 Embracing Your Own Pleasure and Sexual Power 57:44 Staying Connected and Continuing the Journey   ===   GUEST LINKS IG, X, TikTok, Facebook: @sexwithemily https://www.youtube.com/user/SexWithEmily Website: http://www.sexwithemily.com   ===   Have you watched our previous episode titled Exploring Sexual Wellness, Tantra, & Erotic Empowerment - with Layla Martin   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sGOw2wo-e9Y?si=vDR774dTUcF7tAon   ====   Alyssa Nobriga International, LLC - Disclaimer This podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

Sex can be a beautiful experience full of love and fulfilled desires. It's this amazing expression of love and intimacy that you can share with your partner and with yourself! But to be able to reach the sexual freedom we all hope for, we have to do some soul searching.    Jocelyn Silva is a Life and Intimacy Coach with over 13 years of experience helping people break free from limiting beliefs and fully embrace their sexual power. Once a Catholic schoolgirl who dreamed of being a nun (true story!), she now teaches clients how to embody confidence, connection, and pleasure—without guilt or shame. With a Master's in Social Work and a background in sex education, Jocelyn's approach blends psychology, embodiment, and radical self-love. She's the creator of Pleasure Playground, a transformative group coaching program, and a passionate digital nomad who believes sexual empowerment makes life easier (and way more fun).    In this week's episode, we're talking to Jocelyn about healing sexual shame, embracing pleasure, and cultivating self-acceptance. If you're feeling sexually repressed, undesirable, or you feel like there's something broken inside of you, it might be time to go on a journey of sexual self-discovery. The more you grow to love yourself and accept every part of yourself, the more pleasure you'll feel in the bedroom.

Breaking the Cycle: Finding Freedom from Sexual Shame Shame thrives in silence, especially when it's tied to sexual experiences and behaviors. In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings uncover how guilt and shame often drive self-destructive cycles, particularly in the context of pornography and unwanted sexual behavior. Drawing from personal stories, cultural insights, and spiritual truths, they address how societal pressures, media influence, and even well-intentioned messages about love and performance can fuel shame's grip. The conversation highlights the importance of confronting these root causes, seeking wise counsel, and embracing God's love as the ultimate path to freedom and healing. If you've wrestled with feelings of shame tied to your past or present struggles, this episode offers hope, understanding, and practical steps toward restoration. We invite you to listen, reflect, and take that first courageous step toward breaking free. Your story matters, and healing is possible. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

A few weeks ago, we talked about prolonged arousal and I touched on sexual shame in men. I promised then that I'd do an entire episode about it because it isn't talked about much and needs to be talked about more. This is that episode. Sexual shame is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience, and when it's tied to something as personal and intimate as sexuality, the impact can be profound. In this episode, we're going to delve into this much needed topic and talk about what it is, how it manifests differently from women, the factors that contribute to it, and the steps men can take to heal. By talking about sexual shame in men, I hope to bring more light to it so those who are suffering can finally start to heal!

In this episode, I sit down with renowned LDS sex therapist Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife to explore the complex topic of sexual shame. Together, we discuss its origins, how it impacts relationships—especially in a mixed faith context—and practical ways to foster healing, understanding, and deeper connection. Whether you're navigating personal struggles or seeking to strengthen your partnership, this conversation is filled with compassionate insights and actionable tools to help you move forward.

As a porn addiction recovery coach, I see clients of all backgrounds - religious and irreligious. Christianity and porn addiction often go hand-in-hand in my experience. I know that they did for me.I love my faith, but the reality is that many Christians carry burdensome shame about their sexuality, and others about their porn habit. This sexual shame is part of what drives their addiction. Many of us grew up being taught (explicitly or implicitly) that sexuality is dangerous, and is to be feared and strictly controlled. We were taught that physical attraction or desiring a woman is sinful, “inappropriate”, or immoral. Fear of sexuality was often unconsciously used by our parents and ecclesiastical leaders to prevent us from committing sexual sin or degrading our bodies with promiscuous sexual acts. I understand this tendency to use fear as a motivator, and I know that many of these parents and leaders are well-meaning. Unfortunately, though, what many often do not understand is that this approach to preventing sexual promiscuity is damaging and fills people with sexual shame. Not only that, but paradoxically it can actually drive the promiscuity it seeks to inhibit. In today's episode, I explore these topics with you. I also talk about why Christians may struggle with porn addiction more than anyone else, and how a perfectionistic relationship with God can be one of the foundational drivers of pornography addiction. I also discuss psychological and lifestyle methods you can use to overcome religious shame, strengthen your faith, and stop porn addiction.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramJoin My Email NewsletterBuy Me a CoffeeMORE EPISODESChildhood Trauma, Porn Addiction & Seeking Safety in Pleasure and EscapeHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn RelapseThe 4 Root Causes of Porn AddictionHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 StepsEye-Opening Moments PodcastEye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives.

In today's we tackle a topic many of us face but rarely discuss openly: sexual shame and sexual confidence. What holds us back from having amazing sex? What emotional wounds stop us from asking for what we want? Why do we zone out when we're with someone we love? Why do we feel shame about having too much, or not enough sex? These are the questions we are going to ask today. We are jouned by renowned sex therapist Dr. Emily Jamea, to break down where sexual shame comes from—whether it’s past trauma, religious messaging, or societal pressures—and how it impacts our ability to experience pleasure. Dr. Emily shares powerful advice on unlearning shame, building sexual confidence, and embracing your desires without fear or embarrassment. We also explore the psychology behind libido, its fluctuations in our 20s, and the role mental health, stress, and body image play in our relationships and sexual lives.

On today's show, I caught up with Kamna Bhojwani at the Sexual Health Alliance conference, where her raw honesty about sexual shame instantly grabbed my attention.

Sex education rests in the hands of the media and serves the objectives of capitalism - sounds healthy and pleasurable, right? So not sexy. To undo this, let's go back to school on the subject of childhood development. Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers is chatting with the podcast hosts once again, revisiting and diving deeper into the implications of abstinence only sex education and purity culture, and how we can make the future happier and healthier for the next generation by liberating ourselves from sexual shame. Dr. Tina gives a breakdown of the capacity for understanding verbal and non verbal cues about sexuality throughout the developmental stages of childhood, and the impact those cues have to our brains, bodies, and relationships. The hosts have questions about the significance of the language we use to name body parts, the link between purity culture and violence against women, and like, wtf is the madonna/whore complex? Finally, Dr. Tina shares her latest work with psychedelic assisted therapy and some inspiration for what that therapeutic approach can offer to those of us wanting to liberate ourselves perhaps a little more efficiently!This is a great follow up to the podcast's first conversation with Dr. Tina back in December 2022. Listen to that episode for some great information about the origins of abstinence only sex-ed and how it has physical and psychological outcomes on a person akin to the experience of childhood sexual trauma.Learn More:InannaRising.orgtinaschermersellers.comInstagram: @DrTinaShameless@inanna_rising_pat Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode, I get to have a raw and powerful conversation with Joy Skarka, Director of Discipleship at Authentic Intimacy, about turning pain into passion and the journey to healing and freedom. Joy's story is one that many women can relate to but few speak openly about. She shares how, after being sexually assaulted on her third day of college, she was plunged into a season of pain, isolation, and shame. Like so many, she turned to the internet for answers about sex and sexuality, which led to a secret addiction to pornography—a coping mechanism that left her feeling more alone and trapped. But Joy didn't stay in the dark. She began to share her story, and to her surprise, women around her began to open up too. This episode dives deep into the issues of sexual brokenness, shame, and the way pornography affects women—a problem that is far more prevalent than many realize. Joy shares her anchor verse, Galatians 5:1: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” Her message is clear: no one is too far gone for forgiveness, and healing begins when we bring our struggles into the light. It's not about behavior modification—it's about heart transformation through Jesus. Joy talks about the importance of unpacking the root issues that drive us to unhealthy coping mechanisms and finding our identity in Christ. True intimacy can only be restored when we develop a deep, personal relationship with God. In this conversation, Joy reminds us that life is a battle, but as we continue to surrender our pain and shame to God, we can find freedom and healthier ways to cope. Bio: Dr. Joy Skarka, doctoral graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary, is the Director of Discipleship for Authentic Intimacy. Joy leads online groups for women with unwanted sexual behavior and trains leaders to help women find freedom from sexual shame and pornography. Joy has a published dissertation, "Sexual Shame in Women and How to Experience Freedom," and a published chapter in Sanctified Sexuality: Valuing Sex in an Oversexed World and is the co-author of Her Freedom Journey.    Anchor Verse: Galatians 5:1 Connect with Joy: Website: www.JoySkarka.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyskarka  Upcoming Conference: https://www.authenticintimacy.com/reclaim2024/ ***We love hearing from our listeners!

Emily and Heather dive into some nitty-gritty details about how we moved past the shame around our own sexualities. (Get ready for some very candid sex stories…) We discuss coming home to our own bodies and our own sexual ethic, how our parents handled sexual curiosity, and the awkward encounters we had along the way. For the first time, Emily discusses her journey with thinking she was asexual, how she realized she wasn't, and how she had to start over on establishing her own sexual values after her divorce. Heather talks about how her and her siblings had to write essays on their philosophy of dating before they could start dating. We also read a story from someone who dated one of her siblings and learn what it was like to be on the receiving end of these intense dating rules. We also read listener submissions on the weirdness of purity culture, including purity ceremonies, signed contracts, and crying over a friend losing their virginity.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 614 Why is nobody talking about HPV; the world's most common sexually transmitted infection? Mimi Lindquist, Nutrition Expert and AHCC Educator, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 614, to spread awareness about HPV which affects up to 90% of the population, how medicinal mushrooms help boost immune surveillance, how to remove shame around HPV, and why viruses are messengers telling you to focus on your health. "HPV is the most commonly transmitted STI. 80 to 90% of us will have to deal with this at some point in our lives because it is that common. We see that in clinical research that really strong, low-grade stress and chronic stress degrades our ability to have a robust immune surveillance. It's a nudge from your body that says, hey, I need help. I need you to be more in balance." - Mimi Lindquist Biohack Your Mind & Body with Plunge Ice Baths!

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show The Shame Around HPV "HPV is not just a physical diagnosis because of the shame that surrounds the diagnosis. Why would a woman feel shame about having the equivalent of the common cold for the cervix?" - Mimi Lindquist The Antidote to Shame "We shame pleasure and not just in a sexual sense. The antidote to the shame is actually more pleasure. Tapping into more pleasure in your life taps you into presence. You can't experience pleasure without being present." - Mimi Lindquist Treat The Root Cause, Not The Symptom "The medical system is not set up to help your long-term health and vitality thrive. It's set up to manage symptoms. About 350,000 women die every year of cervical cancer. Their solution is to go in and remove a portion of the cervix. Cutting away a part of the body is not a solution. It's just turning off the check engine light. If we don't address that initial immune dysfunction, we're not addressing the root of why there is a signal from your body the first place." - Mimi Lindquist Links From Today's Show  Mimi Lindquist Clear HPV - Use code "JOSH10" for 10% off enrollment in the CLEAR + FREE program Shawn Stevenson 362 Zach Bush MD: Saving The Soil, Saving Humanity Dr. Nathan Riley Gardasil Lawsuit 603 Honoring Christian Oliver: What Death Teaches Us About Living A Generous Life Paul Stamets   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" Defender Shield - 10% off with the code "TRENT10" Neuvana - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Supplements Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Lightbody Total Eye Health - 20% off with "JOSH20" at checkout.
