Tugce Balik believes that pleasure is essential to our wellness. She blends Western science with Eastern traditions to help people heal, reconnect, and feel at home in their bodies and with each other. She's a certified Tibetan Tantra practitioner and an American Board-Certified Sexologist with a focus on healing through embodiment. Her approach is gentle, empowering, and rooted in deep care.

Midlife pushes us to question everything—especially what we've been taught to whisper about. Dr. Jessica Zucker, Los Angeles-based psychologist and award-winning author of Normalize It, explores how silence around menstruation, menopause, body image, and grief, trauma and loss shapes women's lives. After her own traumatic 16-week pregnancy loss, she champions storytelling as a tool for connection and liberation. We dive into big questions: How does revisiting hidden stories from midlife's vantage point heal you?  How can vulnerability boost mental health and intimacy? Why to do so many women believe they must suffer in silence? Time to get loud and claim every experience that shapes you, beauties.

Did you grow up in a home with a favourite child? Do you secretly favour one of your own kids? We unpack the expert opinions and whether or not parental favouritism actually matters in the long run. Plus, we deep-dive into Jennifer Lawrence's recent The New Yorker profile where she shares what her life looks like postpartum and how returning to work has left her feeling like a fundamentally different person. Relate, much? And, from Jennifer Aniston opening up about adoption to Hailey Bieber sharing the secret that helps her raise her son, it seems like the A-listers are finally peeling back the curtain on the unvarnished truth about having kids. Our Recommendations:

Ever wondered why someone pays to be dominated? In this electrifying episode, I sit down with Miss May, a professional dominatrix, dungeon owner, and kink educator based in London and Berlin. We unpack what it really means to be a dominatrix — from understanding BDSM and power exchange to why humiliation and taboo fantasies can actually be healing. Ms. May shares what her clients request most, how kink can create emotional release, and what it's like to separate her professional “Mistress” persona from her personal life.This is not your typical sex conversation — it's raw, fascinating, and deeply human.

Ever caught yourself doing something slightly disgusting but secretly satisfying? In this hilarious and candid episode, we dive into the socially unacceptable behaviors we enjoy behind closed doors! It all started with a friend's voice note confession: "Picking your nose is disgusting, but it's actually enjoyable and kind of relieving." What follows is a laugh-out-loud exploration of our hidden habits! Listeners call in with shocking confessions, including smelling socks after work, the satisfying ritual of peeling sunburned skin, and one listener's childhood admission of eating glue! We ask the philosophical question: Why do we find comfort in things society frowns upon? Tune in to this judgment-free zone to hear these secrets and realize you're not the only one with a few taboo guilty pleasures! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

Send us a textThere's never a bad time of the year for a good game. Whether it's November, May, or that wild week before a break — a well-chosen game can transform your classroom energy and boost your students' confidence to use Spanish.In this re-release of one of the most-loved episodes of Growing With Proficiency, the Podcast, I sit down with Christina Margiore, a high-school Spanish teacher from Long Island (you might know her as @supersenora), to talk about how she uses games to lower the affective filter and get students speaking — authentically, joyfully, and without fear.Christina shares four classroom-tested games that help students forget their nerves and start communicating:

For the Paris-born, New York–based artist Camille Henrot, time practically never stands still. Across her work in film, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation—and soon, live performance—Henrot has developed ways of stretching and distorting time, seamlessly shifting from moments of potent, rapid-fire intensity to quiet reflection. While her work carries a theory-driven ferocity and intelligence, it's also incredibly playful. Hers is serious art that manages—often with a knowing, subtle wink—to not take itself too seriously.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Henrot considers the subjectivity of speed and slowness; previews her upcoming first-ever performance-art piece, slated to premiere in 2026 and a collaboration with the nonprofit Performa; and reflects on why, for her, a work is technically never finished. She also shares her fraught fascination with animals, childhood, and the climate crisis—the intersection of which she examines in-depth in her soon-to-debut film “In the Veins.”Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Camille Henrot[4:30] RoseLee Goldberg[4:30] Performa Biennial[6:37] Buster Keaton[6:37] Tex Avery[7:03] Estelle Hoy[7:19] Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero[16:10] “In the Veins” (2026)[17:45] "Grosse Fatigue"[17:45] Massimiliano Gioni[38:51] Roland Barthes[45:36] Pierre Huyghe[47:51] Ikebana Sogetsu[51:46] Okwui Enwezor[55:03] Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis (2016)[59:51] Jacob Bromberg[59:51] Akwetey Orraca-Tetteh[1:08:50] Adrienne Rich[1:08:50] Ursula K.

Today's episode is with Denya and Cellus Hamilton. Denya and Cellus Hamilton are a creative power couple based in New York City who are passionate about merging faith, culture, and authenticity.
