This week we talk to Suzanne from Galway about her baby's diagnosis of T21 and high drops. Suzanne had to have additional scans during her pregnancy because medical professionals ‘hoped' her baby would die naturally, to prevent her from travelling to England for a termination for medical reasons. This was not the case & the day before she was due to fly, the hospital cancelled her appointment because a lift was broken and then, when she arrived in Liverpool, she was told that they didn't have a surgeon and would need to be transferred to Middlesborough. All this while trying to navigate the devastation of knowing that she wouldn't be bringing home her baby. During the transfer, she was asked to take a box with her and later discovered that inside the box were the instruments that were needed to carry out her termination. This is a devastating story and a clear demonstration of the pain caused by current abortion laws. Taboo exists, and Suzanne highlights this bravely and articulately. During the episode we speak about a support group that Suzanne has found huge comfort in, "Let Me Choose" or Leanbh mo Chroí - they can be found at https://lmcsupport.ie/aboutWe are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation. We're all about bringing people together who are going through the tough stuff — baby loss, infertility, and everything in between — and making sure no one has to face it alone.

Step into a candid, juicy, and deeply liberating conversation with Karen Bigman, midlife sex and relationship expert, certified sex educator, and menopause coach, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Karen is the host of Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 50, a shame free space for honest conversations about sex, desire, dating, relationships, menopause, and intimacy after 50. Karen shares the unexpected journey that brought her into this work, beginning with a book club moment when a grown woman could not say the word "blowjob." Combined with reconnecting with an old flame, discovering the realities of menopause, and a life changing visit to a sexual medicine practice, that moment sparked a calling she never saw coming. We explore the changes that happen in midlife bodies and relationships, including menopause, perimenopause, hormone therapy, and shifting libido for both women and men. Karen offers a shame free approach centered on communication, body awareness, pleasure over performance, and emotional connection, reminding us that great sex is a full body, full heart experience. The conversation also dives into foreplay as an all day practice, what Karen calls "sex snacks," and the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire. Allana vulnerably shares her own experience of introducing her Yoni to a partner for the first time, opening a deeper conversation about asking to be honored rather than waiting for someone else to know what we need. We also talk about: ● Why your sex span should equal your lifespan ● How men can better support partners through menopause ● Spontaneous versus responsive desire ● Why women have affairs to leave and men have affairs to stay ● Sex snacks and keeping intimacy alive outside the bedroom ● Porn, the death grip, and difficulty reaching orgasm ● Religious shame, guilt, and learning to let go in the body ● Introducing your Yoni to a partner as an act of sacred honoring ● Tantric sex, connection, timing, and trust ● Alternative relationship structures and honest communication ● Why judgment is the enemy of pleasure and curiosity is the cure ● How suppressed sexuality can come out sideways ● Raising sexually healthy children who become open adults This episode is a reminder that pleasure is not a luxury. It is a birthright. Our bodies, at every age and stage, are worthy of attention, tenderness, curiosity, and delight. Karen makes it easier to laugh, exhale, ask the questions we were never taught to ask, and reclaim a vibrant intimate life at any age. ABOUT KAREN BIGMAN Karen Bigman is a Sexual Health Alliance Certified Sexuality Educator, menopause coach, intimacy and relationship coach, and host of Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 50.

What happens when one partner wants sex and the other doesn’t? Mismatched desire- or desire discrepancy is one of the most common issues Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz see among couples, and it’s a topic they’re asked about again and again. For this special episode of Sex and the Psyche, we’re turning the tables and putting Jenni and Daniel in the hot seat! Our friend Karen Bigman, host of Taboo to Truth, generously invited Jenni and Daniel onto her podcast for a candid conversation about desire discrepancy, intimacy, shame, and the challenges couples face when their libidos don't match. We’re so grateful to Karen for allowing us to replay this conversation here on Sex and the Psyche, giving our listeners a chance to hear Jenni and Daniel as guests and get a behind-the-scenes look at how they answer the questions they’re usually the ones asking. In this first part of the two-part conversation, Jenni and Daniel explore why desire discrepancy happens, what it can look like in long-term relationships, and why the partner with lower desire is never simply “the problem.” They also talk about why some men shut down or go silent when they’re struggling sexually, how shame can take over in the bedroom, and how the right words can open the door to a much more honest and compassionate conversation between partners. A huge thank-you to Karen Bigman and Taboo to Truth for sharing this conversation with our Sex and the Psyche audience. Be sure to listen to Part 2 for more of Jenni and Daniel in the hot seat!

I'm tackling one of the most avoided conversations in long-term relationships: how to actually bring up sex with your partner. In this episode, I break down why this conversation feels so impossible — the shame, the missing communication skills, the fear of rejection — and I hand you exact scripts to use instead of the accusatory lines that shut your partner down before you even start. I walk through how to open "the conversation about the conversation," deeper questions to ask once you're talking, and what to do if you get shut down. Couples with better sex lives have better, longer-lasting relationships, and this episode gives you the words to get there.The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off their guided intimacy subscription at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In This Episode:0:00 – The Words to Use0:14 – Welcome to Taboo to Truth0:40 – The Slow Fade: When You Stop Noticing Each Other1:15 – Reframing It: This Isn't Really About Sex1:45 – Why the Conversation Is So Hard2:20 – The Lines That Put Your Partner on the Defensive2:55 – Language Shifts: What to Say Instead3:45 – The 3 Rules: Curiosity, "I" Statements, Tone4:15 – Subscribe + Grab the Pleasure Playbook4:35 – Starting "The Conversation About the Conversation"5:30 – Going Deeper: Questions to Reconnect6:05 – If You Get Shut Down (And When to Get Help)6:25 – Final Thought: Better Sex, Better RelationshipsTo watch the video version of this episode, head over to YouTube!About The Host:Karen Bigman, a Sexual Health Alliance Certified Sex Educator, Life, and Menopause Coach, tackles the often-taboo subject of sexuality with a straightforward and candid approach.

On this weeks episode, we are talking to Morgan Hewett, founder and CEO of Devin, an AI-powered women's pleasure company built to center women's bodies, desires, and autonomy. In our conversation, Morgan shares how her background in AI and mental health tech led her to spot a gap in the vibrator market, and why she believes women's pleasure is a health issue, not a taboo one. Join us as we discuss entrepreneurship, relationships, women's health, self-exploration, and healing.

Solar and wind power is growing worldwide, but so is electricity consumption: as a result, renewables are often only added to the energy mix, rather than replacing fossil fuels. Reducing energy demand would make net zero more achievable, but it recieves far less attention than decarbonisation efforts. This may be due to a perception that managing energy demand would be politically unpopular, requiring governments to make radical interventions into people's lifestyles and spending. Oliver Broad, Senior Research Fellow at University College London, tells Alasdair that such fears are unfounded. His team's research found that the UK could reduce energy demand by 52% without new tech or overly disruptive societal change, and has worked with policymakers and public focus groups to demonstrate political acceptability. Further reading: 'Policymakers and academics envision energy demand reductions beyond typical policies in the United Kingdom', Nature Energy, 2025'Policymaker-led scenarios and public dialogue facilitate energy demand analysis for net-zero futures', Nature Energy, 2025'Energy demand reduction options for meeting national zero-emission targets in the United Kingdom', Nature Energy, 2022'Real people or "economic processing units"?

Non-monogamy is one of the topics I get asked about more than almost anything else, so in this episode I sit down with Susan Bratton and Karl Eberhardt to dig into what open relationships, polyamory, and relationship anarchy actually look like day to day — not the theory, the lived experience. We talk about how to know you're ready to open a relationship, the STI screening protocol that makes it work, how jealousy and compersion actually show up, and the moment a 35-year marriage nearly ended over what gets called "husband thievery." We also get into how an adult daughter found out her parents were non-monogamous in one short conversation, and how a "summer boy toy" earned a promotion to full-time boyfriend. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or already living this life, this conversation is going to challenge some assumptions.Mentioned in this episode: Testing before getting physical is non-negotiable for me — ProDx Health makes it easy.

The reason your marriage is sexless has nothing to do with sex. If you think a lack of intimacy in your relationship is a sex problem, I need you to hear this — it's almost never about the bedroom.In this episode, I break down emotional availability: what it really means, why so many good, hardworking, faithful men struggle with it, and how childhood shapes the way we handle conflict as adults. I explain the biology behind emotional shutdown, walk through attachment styles — secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant — and show why emotional safety is the real path to physical intimacy for most women. Then I give you five practical shifts to become more emotionally reachable, plus real scripts you can use tonight.This isn't about blame.

Hot-button issues dominating our culture can make speaking out feel taboo. Hiding from hard conversations won't work. On this episode of the Decisions Podcast, Mike Novotny discusses his newest book, Taboo: Topics Christians Should be Talking About but Don't, and equips listeners to have hard conversations in a redemptive way.   In Taboo, author Mike Novotny covers deeply personal, vulnerable, and emotional topics, handling them with grace and respect. It's the ultimate resource for Christians looking to create change and deal with struggles in their own lives. God's Word gives us clarity, healing, and hope. Taboo is a must-read for Christians looking for a biblically based resource to modern questions. Not talking is not helping! It's time for believers to step gracefully into the taboo and share God's truth with a world in need.  Mike is the lead speaker for Time of Grace, a global media ministry that is committed to ensuring that God's grace—His love, glory, and power—is accessible around the world

(incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Erez Levin spent nearly a decade inside Google's ad tech world before becoming one of the loudest internal voices warning that the industry was built to reward quantity over quality — and that those same broken incentives are what fuel outrage, fear, and grievance across the wider internet.Now Erez writes at Holding the Line, where he makes the case for what he calls principled ostracism: real social consequences for people who cross clear moral lines, paired with a genuine path back for anyone willing to own it. He draws a hard line between that and cancel culture, which he says punishes disagreement instead of actual hatred.Wilk and Erez dig into how norms actually change, why celebrating political violence deserves real cost, and how a single memo from a Wall Street investor got a group of Harvard students to retract a petition within three days. It's a conversation about where accountability ends and cruelty begins — and why courageous citizenship means holding a line without writing people off for good.

Karen Bigman's path to becoming a menopause sex educator is one of the most unexpectedly compelling origin stories we've heard on this podcast. She started in technology. She raised children. She worked in restaurants. And then, in her early 50s, newly separated after a 25-year marriage and struggling to orgasm with a new partner, she found her way to a sexual medicine practice run by Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, where a nurse practitioner handed her a little blue bullet vibrator, suggested she try it in the next room, and Karen came back five minutes later saying "you just changed my life". That moment is the seed of everything Karen has built since. Her platform, Taboo to Truth, is dedicated to dismantling the two most pervasive myths she encounters in her work: that sex is something people stop having at a certain age, and that it's a topic too taboo to discuss openly. Her course, Men Meet Menopause, is built on the radical premise that male partners, often the most confused and the most shut out from the conversation, deserve their own education, their own language, and their own practical tools for showing up during one of the most significant transitions their partner will experience. In this episode, Karen joins Jenni and Daniel for a conversation that covers a remarkable amount of ground with warmth, humor, and genuine clinical depth. They dig into why menopause remains under-discussed even in 2026, the lingering shadow of the Women's Health Initiative, the male reluctance to name what they're observing, the shame women carry about bodies that are changing in ways they didn't expect. Daniel introduces the compassion sandwich, leading with care rather than observation, as the reframe that changes how every difficult conversation lands. Karen talks about the five pillars underlying sexual disconnection in midlife couples, and what it looks like when one of them wobbles. Jenni brings in the Cheesecake of Pleasure- her clinical framework for expanding a couple's repertoire beyond intercourse as the only available flavor, and the conversation around grief, creativity, and what it means to look forward to something bigger than what you're losing becomes one of the richest exchanges of the season. Karen's concept of sex snacks sits beautifully alongside it. Both frameworks point to the same clinical truth: when intercourse is temporarily or permanently off the table, the answer is not resignation. It's creativity. It's building a palette of pleasure that belongs to this season rather than mourning the one that's passed. Karen closes with the line that may be the most important thing in the episode: don't give up. Don't accept the myth that this is done. Don't believe that sex is only for young people or for other people or for the version of your relationship that existed before all of this. The research shows that women over 60 can have the best sex of their lives if they want. The invitation: for women navigating menopause and for the partners who love them, is to join the journey together and find out what's on the other side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About Nicole Nicole Johnston’s Taboo Topics is an invitation to bring into the light the conversations women have often been conditioned to keep hidden. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership and executive coaching, Nicole argues that many of the barriers women experience at work are not personal shortcomings but cultural patterns that have remained largely unnamed. Rather than encouraging women simply to “lean in” or become more confident, she invites women to understand the invisible systems shaping their experiences and reclaim their voice within them. In This Episode We Discuss: How growing up with educator parents, playing sports, and learning to advocate for herself after losing hearing in one ear shaped Nicole’s leadership journey. Why sports matter for girls and the powerful connection between athletics, confidence, and leadership. Nicole’s path from Division I athlete to leadership roles at Procter & Gamble, including 19 moves and international experiences. The car accident that became a wake-up call and ultimately led her toward coaching and developing others. We Explore: Why perfectionism can feel like a “cozy blanket” and how resilience helps women take risks and grow. The importance of giving ourselves permission instead of waiting for it from others. Emotional labor, invisible work, and the unequal distribution of responsibility at home and work. The exhaustion of maintaining a persona and how women can become more intentional with their energy. Why celebrating other women is a powerful alternative to judgment. The “micro cuts” of sexism that women experience throughout their lives and careers. Compensation inequities and why women should always negotiate their salary. Nicole’s Advice for Younger Women: Respect the women who came before you and fought for the opportunities you have today. It’s okay to make mistakes, change directions, and choose a different path. Protect your time and energy early because the expectations you set often become the expectations others hold. This conversation is a thoughtful and practical exploration of the invisible forces shaping women’s lives and a reminder that many of the challenges women experience are cultural patterns to question—not personal failures to fix.

Why is Non-Monogamy Still Taboo?In this segment from our throwback episode with Dr. Joli Hamilton, we dig into why non-monogamy still carries so much stigma — even as more people quietly explore it. Dr. Hamilton, a relationship coach and research psychologist, unpacks the cultural scripts that keep monogamy positioned as the "default" and everything else as a deviation, and why that framing doesn't hold up under scrutiny.We talk through the double standards, the assumptions about jealousy and commitment, and what actually changes when couples give themselves permission to question the rules they inherited. A short but pointed listen for anyone curious about where the taboo comes from — and why it's worth challenging.

In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN — a physical therapist and holistic nurse with over 30 years of experience in pelvic health, and one of the country's leading experts in shockwave therapy for pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Stacey breaks down why up to 30% of women may experience vulvodynia (and why that number is likely underreported), how chronic low back pain can actually be rooted in a tight, "upregulated" pelvic floor, and why men are even less likely than women to get evaluated for pelvic floor issues. We dig into the emotional and physical toll of being told "it's all in your head," the fascia's role in referred pain, and how shockwave — a completely external, non-invasive technology originally developed to break up kidney stones — is now accelerating healing for incontinence, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and vaginismus. Stacey also shares an eyebrow-raising pilot finding on shockwave and testosterone. This is part one of a two-part conversation — part two is coming soon.In this episode: 00:00 Shockwave Therapy?!00:45 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:15 Meet Stacey Roberts: 30+ Years in Pelvic & Sexual Health01:45 How Common Is Pelvic Pain & Sexual Dysfunction, Really?03:00 Low Back Pain: Foam Roller Fix or Something Deeper?06:00 Men vs. Women: Why Pelvic Pain Shows Up Differently09:00 Surgery, "It's All in Your Head," and the Repressed Emotion Connection12:30 Pelvic Floor & Sexual Dysfunction: Shoutout to Dr. Lance Frank14:15 The Pudendal Nerve: How Internal Treatment Improves External Sensation16:30 Non-Surgical Treatment Options: Pelvic Floor Therapy, Fascia & Botox19:00 From Kidney Stones to Muscles: The History of Shockwave Therapy20:30 What Shockwave Actually Feels Like (and the Vaginismus Case Study)22:15 Shockwave, Testosterone & Treating Testicular Health23:45 Wrap-Up: Part Two Is Coming — Subscribe & FollowWant a deeper look?

(2) The Nuclear Taboo and Russian Forbearance: Secret Nuclear History, the Cuban Missile Crisis Comparison, and the Dangers of Escalation Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. In a "parking lot" broadcast, the hosts explore the fragility of nuclear deterrence. Gaius discusses a report revealing that in 2023, China and India persuaded Vladimir Putin not to use tactical nuclear weapons in Kherson. He compares this secrecy to the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the American public was unaware of nuclear-tipped torpedoes and frog missiles. Germanicusargues that Russia's "existential situation" leads to caution rather than impulsiveness, emphasizing that the Russian ethos is profoundly affected by the trauma of the Great Patriotic War, making them "essentially conservative and realistic" regarding apocalypse. He critiques the Biden and Trump administrations for "creeping escalation," warning that the West is acting irresponsibly by taking "Russian forbearance" for granted and "poking the bear" with long-range strike weapons. They conclude that a weaker power feeling existential pressure is the most likely to resort to nuclear weapons as a "desperate last ditch stand." (2)1957 COLD WAR

And how about the Biden coverup?Joe Biden spoke publicly again, and he didn't disappoint.Yet again, Biden proved to be a buffoon.I'm actually surprised Democrats let this guy out. Remember in 2020 they kept him in the basement so they could steal the election. I predict he will have disappear soon. “Where's my granddaughter!?”At issue are roughly 70 hours of audio recordings captured during conversations for Biden's 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad. Biden's legal team argued the recordings include deeply personal discussions, including references to the death of his son Beau and should remain private despite becoming part of a federal investigation.In a May statement, Mike Howell, president of The Heritage Foundation's The Oversight Project, said, per Politico, that the “tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden's fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information.”Democrats don't want us to know what we already know.Think about how absurd that sentence is.They spent years insisting Joe Biden was fine. Sharp. Focused. In command. The media treated every obvious cognitive malfunction as if Americans had accidentally wandered into a mass hallucination.Then came the legal fight over the tapes.And that's the confession.Because nobody fights to suppress evidence that vindicates them.If these recordings showed Biden operating like the strategic mastermind Democrats claimed he was, they'd release them with a commemorative soundtrack and a Netflix special. Instead, they lawyered up faster than a mob accountant during tax season.Why?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
