Lady Parts is a dramedy feature film where a young woman's sex life becomes a family affair when she has to undergo a vulvar vestibulectomy. Her loving, but overbearing parents help her through recovery (despite her cringing) and learn that saying "vagina" loud and proud is the first step to advocating for herself in all aspects of her life. In this special episode of the Stubborn Love Podcast, the team behind the film 'Lady Parts' joins to discuss the inspiration, creation, and societal impacts of their movie. Writer and Executive Producer Bonnie Gross, Director Nancy Boyd, and Producer Meghan Griesbeck share personal experiences with conditions like vulvar vestibulitis and vaginismus, and emphasize the need for open discussions about women's health.  They highlight the role of educational systems, the importance of supportive family dynamics, and the advocacy work being done to de-stigmatize vaginal health. The filmmakers also discuss organizations providing valuable resources and support for those affected. Their goal is to get the film in front of as many people as possible, sparking important conversations and cultural change around women's health issues. 01:14 Inspiration Behind Lady Parts 02:26 Understanding Vulvar Vestibulitis and Vaginismus 05:50 Challenges in the Medical Community 09:42 The Importance of Family Support 13:32 Advocacy and Resources Connect with Lady Parts https://ladypartsfilm.com/  IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21423506/  IG - https://www.instagram.com/ladyparts_film/  FB - https://www.facebook.com/ladypartsthemovie  TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@shake_ur_bonbon  X - https://twitter.com/lady_parts_film  Resources mentioned Tight Lipped https://www.tightlipped.org/  Intimate Rose https://www.intimaterose.com/ The Pelvic People https://thepelvicpeople.com/  Hello Gina https://ginaapp.com/  Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching TikTok: @paigebondcoaching Website: https://paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got two powerhouses in what I guess you might call modern indie-folk, though it's a lot more than that: Gregory Alan Isakov and Jeremiah Fraites. Fraites is, along with Wesley Schultz, a founding member of the Lumineers, the band whose simple-yet-powerful take on folky Americana has been met with pretty massive success over the past couple of decades. The band's catalog goes deeper than massive hits like “Ho Hey” and “Stubborn Love,” songs you've probably heard even if you're not super familiar with the band. The Lumineers' latest album is 2022's Brightside, but that's not Fraites' latest: He just released his second solo album of intriguing, fantastic instrumental piano pieces—a big departure from the sound of his main gig, but great nonetheless. It's called Piano Piano 2—you can probably guess what the first one was called—and it stretches into even more cinematic territory than the first. Plus, it features a guest vocal from the other half of today's conversation. Gregory Alan Isakov may seem like an overnight sensation, but the Colorado-based singer-songwriter has been plugging away—sometimes quietly—for nearly two decades, building a fanbase for his intimate songs over the course of seven albums. His latest, Appaloosa Bones, came out late last year, and as you'll hear in this chat, the songs ended up being a bit more fleshed out than those on his past records. He's on tour now, and he's featured on the new Noah Kahan single as well. So yeah, kind of a big deal. Oh, and as I mentioned a minute ago, he collaborated with Jeremiah Fraites recently, on a cover of Radiohead's classic “No Surprises.” Check out a bit of the magic they wrung from making the song their own. In this chat, Fraites and Isakov talk about how songwriting never gets easier—sorry, budding songwriters—about Isakov's teenage obsession with the Nintendo game Metroid, and what that has to do with music, and about finding intimate sounds in massive places like Red Rocks, aka the best venue in the universe. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Jeremiah Fraites and Gregory Alan Isakov for chatting.

Do you want a fulfilling love and sex life but find yourself in never ending fights and avoiding intimacy altogether? This episode goes over CRUCIAL conversations you need to get your sex and love life back on track.  Key takeaways from the episode: How important communication is in enhancing sexual intimacy between partners What role foreplay has in a fulfilling sexual experience and how time can vary for a partner's needs What aftercare is and why it's just as important as foreplay How couples can address and overcome mismatches in their need for physical touch Katie Ziskind specializes in helping disconnected couples who want to work together after high conflict fights, affairs, sexual avoidance, and sexual rejection to develop a foundation of emotional connection, trust, love, and gain sex positive skills to understand foreplay, sexual pleasure, rebuild sexual desire, connect to their sexual, erotic playful side.  Katie helps couples feel safe and excited emotionally and sexually about growing together. She gives you a safe place to talk about how your strict, conservative, religious upbringing has lead to feelings of shame, guilt, fear, avoidance, lack of satisfaction, and anxiety around sex and shift into reconnecting to sexual pleasure. She helps couples get familiar and comfortable talking about sex and gain sex positive education.  Noteworthy quotes from this episode: [8:45] “Sometimes we grow up in a strict conservative and religious upbringing, where we get no education on sex, and then we also get misinformation. Like sometimes we learn that like sex toys are bad or masturbation is bad and it's like none of those things are inherently bad. We just don't learn about how they can be tools to learn about ourselves or to build desire. [15:18] “we're very groomed in society to like, You know, pay the bills or like go grocery shopping and you know, take the kids to soccer practice and those are beautiful things that are publicly socially acceptable but you know, we're not taught from a young age: hey, like, let's talk about what areas on your partner's body that they really like touched or what areas do you like touched and how can you vocalize that” Connect with Katie Book a free phone consult to work with me at www.WisdomWithinCt.com Instagram.com/WisdomWithinCt  All Things Love and Intimacy Podcast with Katie Ziskind https://wisdomwithinct.com/podcast/ Sex and intimacy course on teachable that therapists and couples wanting help with pleasure, sexual confidence, orgasming and sexual intimacy can take for $20.

This episode digs deep into the journey of strengthening relationships through the Gottman method, sharing personal anecdotes and professional insights.  Key takeaways from the episode: What is the Gottman method and how does it apply to couples therapy? What are 'bids' in the context of relationship dynamics, and why are they important? The impact of individual therapy on couples' dynamic How does the intersection of mental health with kink, BDSM, ethical non-monogamy, and LGBTQ issues impact therapy and relational understanding? How can communication and understanding intentions in relationships lead to better connection and trust? What strategies can couples adopt from the Gottman method to prevent relationship issues and strengthen their bond? A former Industrial and Systems Engineer, Derek Wittman is an LMHC in NY and LPC in PA with over 10 years in clinical practice. From the treatment of Substance Use Disorders to couples therapy with the Gottman Method, he had seen families reconnect in healing  from the grip of trauma into restored relationships.  With precious operations management experience, Wittman has recently taken the leap from his Clinical Manager position with a top 10 national healthcare company to start his own solo private practice. Noteworthy quotes from this episode: [27:17] "and I recognize that if she is hurt about something I did or said, that's absolutely valid, it doesn't mean that she hates me, it means that she trusts me enough to say it. And I'm so glad that I can offer her that level of safety, that she can rest on me and rest in a relationship and I don't get offended by her feelings. I want her to feel safe with me. I see in various communities that I'm a part of where ‘Am I overreacting?'  is a very common question. It's like, well, your feelings are not a reaction period. They're all internal. What are you doing with those feelings? You're throwing a temper tantrum?  Are you crying? Are you calmly sharing  how you feel about something? I hope I can always be calmly sharing or receiving something.” Connect with Derek Www.sageintime.com  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=100092603180057  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sage-in-time-podcast/id1721609280  Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching TikTok: @paigebondcoaching Website: https://paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

Or click here for more information: Linktr.ee/BeatlesEarth   --- The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960, that comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours.   The Lumineers are an American alternative folk band based in Denver, Colorado. The founding members are Wesley Schultz (lead vocals, guitar) and Jeremiah Fraites (drums, percussion, piano). Schultz and Fraites began writing and performing together in Ramsey, New Jersey, in 2005. Cellist and vocalist Neyla Pekarek joined the band in 2010, and was a member until 2018.[1] The Lumineers emerged as one of the most popular folk-rock/Americana artists during the revival of those genres,[2]their popularity growing in the 2010s.[3] They are known for their energetic live shows and several international hit singles, including "Ho Hey", "Stubborn Love", "Ophelia", "Angela" and "Cleopatra".[4]The band has become one of the top touring bands in the United States[5] and is also popular in other countries.[6] The Lumineers have released four albums on American independent label Dualtone Records (Dine Alone in Canada and Decca/Universal worldwide).[7] Their self-titled first album was released in 2012 and peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200.[8] It has been certified triple platinum in the U.S. and Canada,[9] platinum in the UK[10] and Ireland, and gold in Australia.[11] Their second album, Cleopatra, was released in 2016 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and also on the Canadian and British album charts. It is currently certified platinum in the U.S.[12] Their third album, titled III, was released on September 13, 2019[13] and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

In this episode, you'll learn about: Discover why your past can hit your relationship's 'trigger points' The mindset shifts needed to building your dream relationship How remembering who you truly are instead of trying to “fix” something in yourself could be a better path forward  Talk therapy, somatic secrets, and unlocking energy healing - your recipe for transformation The importance of self-care, personal growth, and questioning societal norms in building fulfilling relationships International Best-Selling Author, Relationship Diversity Advocate and Podcast Creator, Carrie Jeroslow, teaches people the tools to relate consciously to themselves and others.  She is the host of Relationship Diversity Podcast, where she aims to explore, question, and celebrate all aspects of relationship structure diversity from soloamory to monogamy to polyamory, and everything in between. This is an inclusive space, giving people the permission to design their unique relationships from the knowledge and acceptance of their unique selves. She believes that when we learn and accept who we truly are, we are able to be more authentic in our relationships with others, bringing an unparalleled sense of joyfulness and fulfillment to our lives as a whole. Noteworthy quotes from this episode: "I think people judge their own journey and they think that if I'm not able to do it right now, when there is no right or wrong, if I'm not able to do it in that way, then something's wrong with me." "Healing has the connotation that something's wrong and something needs to be fixed. Whereas remembering is a process of knowing that innately I am perfect and beautiful and I was born that way and there was all these things that happened in my journey that covered that up. So it's a process of allowing the clouds to clear, to see the sun." "We are brainwashed to think that...my life happens to me and I don't have any part of this."

It's about freedom, it's about trying out whatever you want. It's about individual journeys through the night.” “One of the factors I consider a successful [night at Top Floor], one of the measures is when people come to me afterwards and say ‘I had a life changing experience' and that happens pretty much every party.” “One of the things that differentiates our party, I think from almost all play parties, is we do not ever have performances. We never separate anyone from audience to performer because that isn't great for the vibe. Everyone's a performer, everyone's participating.” Connect with Alain and Marz from Top Floor Club IG: @thetopfloorclub Web: https://www.topfloorclub.com/ Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching Website: www.paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and is a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

Summary Dr. Emy Tafelski, an integrative soul coach, specializes in helping women cope with significant loss. She shares her personal experience of losing her mother and discusses the process of healing and rediscovering oneself after such a loss. In this episode, you'll learn about: Dr. Tafelski's concept of the "soul as a tapestry" and its role in the healing process. The importance of allowing space for grief and emotions while engaging in grounding activities like connecting with nature. How long the self-exploration process takes. Dr. Tafelski's four-phase process for personal growth and self-discovery, which can be done individually or in a group setting. Dr. Emy Tafelski is a licensed therapist turned integrative soul coach who helps women who have suffered an untethering loss reweave their souls into wholeness. Her work stems directly from her own healing journey following the loss of her mom which left her shattered and untethered. It is her mission to revolutionize how women transform after loss so that they can release what holds them back and reclaim their power. She believes that when women fully tend to their wounds (including those that come from the culture around them) and align with wholeness they are absolutely unstoppable. She offers transformative group and 1:1 Soul Weaving services. Noteworthy quotes from this episode: “There's a piece, particularly for women I think.  You know, I speak of untethered loss. I think women in general are sort of raised to anchor or tether to things outside of ourselves: whether it's a partner or Children or whatever. But I think that is one of the reasons why this works so important, right? Because when we experience something that untethers us and we lose that external tether, it gives us an opportunity to re-anchor and do it internally, which is a much more solid, a more permanent sense of self.” “Like attune... where we first create space for all of the feelings that we have because our culture does not make space for grief in the accompanying feelings.” Connect with Emy FREE Meditations: The Untethering Loss Care Package https://emytafelski.ck.page FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090229196343 IG: https://www.instagram.com/soulweaving_dremy/ Web: emytafelski.com Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching Website: www.paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and is a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

Summary Irena helps people overcome toxic relationship patterns from their childhood so they can master love in adult relationships.  In this episode, you'll learn about: What it's like growing up in an emotionally abusive environment.

After moving to USA in 2001 in search of better life and getting married at 23, her envisioned happily ever after crumbled very quickly. Growing up in an environment where all her emotions had to be suppressed, feeling unloved and abandoned, she only learned how to be ready for a fight, how to blame others and how to look for external validation desperately trying to feel worthy.  After trying out various types of relationships, monogamy & polyamory, after having my two children, and living in different countries,she realized that she was the common denominator in all her unsuccessful attempts at relationships. She had to make changes. And she did. It was a long and painful process, but it was worth it. Now, being back in USA, she is dedicated to help others to acquire crucial skills for forming and sustaining healthy relationships. Resources from this episode FOCUS WHEELS - AN AMAZING TOOL FROM ABRAHAM-HICKS FOR FOCUSING YOUR INTENTION & SHIFTING YOUR FEELING STATE. Noteworthy quotes from this episode: “Because when we get triggered, this only points us in the area where work is needed. So when kids trigger me, that means something is healing within me, it's not the kids, it's me and it has made my parenting. It's still challenging. Don't get me wrong, but it has made it much easier.” “I think the biggest issue they deal with is they're probably still using some kind of coping mechanisms they acquired long ago and they're just not realizing that their belief system is no longer serving them. And instead of reevaluating this system and their mechanisms and their default modes, they just keep applying them and applying, but it's no longer working.“ Connect with Irena Website: www.LovedandFulfilled.com Love Mastery Program: https://lovedandfulfilled.com/program/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovemasterycoaching Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching Website: www.paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and is a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

Seeking the risk rather than the reward has been his guiding mantra and life philosophy, and it's what drew him into the world of non-monogamy at the age of 40.

Do I want to be someone that friends, lovers, family members could count on, could they count on me physically? They can count on me emotionally.

Having struggled with emotional eating for years, Ilaria perfectly understands the frustration and root causes of these cycles and is so passionate to help women break FREE from this, build deep confidence, achieve their fitness goals and finally feel good in their skin. Noteworthy quotes from this episode: “Inner child healing is very simply just reconnecting with your emotions to be with your emotions rather than engaging in behavior such as fixing someone else or rescuing a situation that we people-pleasers do. Or overeating or over drinking or overspending like any of this outside behavior that helps us escape ourselves.” “But one of the most important things is that emotions want to move. So whenever you feel like you have a strong emotional reaction and your nervous system is activated, just move around."

So it's very much like being pulled along is how I would describe it. That doesn't mean they're being coerced necessarily or not wanting it, but having that lack of differentiation of identifying really what their own needs, values, and feelings are and actually verbalizing them is what I notice.” Connect with Pamela Duff Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pameladuffrcc/about/ Email: pamela@redcouchtalks.com Website: https://redcouchtalks.com/ Connect with Paige Bond Instagram: @paigebondcoaching Facebook: @paigebondcoaching Website: www.paigebond.com Paige Bond hosts the Stubborn Love podcast, is a Licensed Marriage Therapist, and is a Polyamory Relationship Coach.

It's time to burn diet culture to the ground! Jemma Haythorne is a Body Image & Food Freedom Coach who works from the non-diet approach, and will help you transform your relationship with food and your body, so that your life can be full of fun and pleasure again. Jemma believes in a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size approach that helps you to achieve your goals from a place of self-love, respect and a positive mindset. Health doesn't have to be hard! Main points from the show: Jemma shares what intuitive eating is and how it's coming back to what our body is asking for. She warns how restricting foods can lead to unhealthy eating habits, so giving yourself the freedom to eat what you want takes the power away from food. She notes that body image comes down to mindset, not about what you look like and affirmations alone improve your body image. The mirror exercise that she teaches can help you change the way you view yourself and help you realize that body acceptance can be more achievable than body positivity. We talked about weight and how praising a partner for losing weight can do more hurt than good. Instead, try praising the actions your partner is taking on their health journey instead. She shared how to respond to people commenting on your weight. Lastly, we discussed how body image and working on a health journey impacts your sex life. She also shared how to feel more safe and confident in yourself about being intimate.
