Heather Claus' Lessons on Love: The Power of Personal Boundaries

Sometimes, the weight of life's events calls for a pause, a deep breath, and a heartfelt reflection. Today, I'm holding the space to share a significant update about 'Come With Us' and to honor the profound impact my co-host Beth has made, as she deals with the unimaginable loss of her beloved daughter, Kaia. While Beth has stepped back to navigate through her grief—a journey with no roadmap or timeframe—we remember her warmth and wisdom through her countless contributions to the podcast and invite you to explore her resources at bethdarling.com.

This episode is not just an announcement, but a celebration of the moments we've shared, from the early days with Beth, Tina, and myself, to the laughter and learning that came with every discussion about sex and relationships. We recognize that the essence of our show thrives on the dynamic between co-hosts and while the format may change, the spirit of 'Come With Us' continues. Revisit our most memorable episodes or discover them for the first time, and join me as we cherish the past and look forward to the future with hope and gratitude for the journey we've all shared.

Ever find yourself sweating at the thought of sharing your deepest, kinkiest desires with your significant other? Fear not, my fellow explorers of the risqué, because this episode of Come With Us is here to navigate the choppy waters of BDSM revelation with none other than Dara from the Pink Kink Podcast. Together, we're demystifying the intricate dance of introducing FemDom to your partner, sharing the ins and outs of how to approach it with both sensitivity and a dash of daring. Buckle up for a journey through the listener emails that echo your own curiosities, where we strip down the taboos and build up the courage for those tantalizing heart-to-hearts.

This episode is the confessional and the strategy session you never knew you needed. Aaron and Dara talk about how our partners become the cheerleaders in our kinkier pursuits—even when they're cheering from the sidelines. It's an honest look at the diverse roles our loved ones play in fostering our erotic explorations, and a guide to nurturing those relationships with the same fervor we approach a steamy session.

Capping off our adventure into the erotic arts, let's not forget the cornerstone of any spicy encounter: communication. Not just your garden-variety chat, but the nitty-gritty on safe words, nonverbal cues, and the occasional interruption by our furry friends. Prepare to chuckle as we recount Daddy J's interrupted gaming sessions and debate the merits of a squeaky toy in more ways than one. It's all about ensuring everyone's on board and feeling safe, because when it comes to the bedroom—or the dungeon—it's not just about the whips and chains, it's about the bonds of trust that make it all worthwhile.

Ever wondered if those 'beer goggles' are real or just a myth? Let me regale you with a tale from my own adventures in the land of libations and love interests. As we bid adieu to another stellar year of the Come With Us podcast, I go it alone, diving headfirst into the science and stories behind alcohol's notorious matchmaking skills. You'll hear how a study by the University of Portsmouth sheds light on the blurry line between buzzed affection and sober reality, and why you might just want to keep your wits about you during your next night out.

Strap in for a candid look at the impact of a good brew on your mojo—and not just your dance moves, but your testosterone levels too. I lay it all out there, discussing the tightrope walk between a confidence-boosting buzz and the dreaded 'whiskey dick,' with a personal anecdote that's sure to raise a chuckle (or an eyebrow). Remember, whether you're raising glasses or eyebrows, the goal is to make choices you'll toast to the next day, including that all-important safe ride home. So, grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's send off this year with a clink and a wink, promising even more eye-opening discussions in the year to come.

Struggling to find that perfect last-minute holiday gift? I've been there, and in this heartfelt episode, I go solo to give you the inside scoop on picking presents that truly resonate. It's a bittersweet moment as Beth is away, mourning the loss of her beautiful daughter Kaya, and I, too, am on the mend. Despite these challenges, I'm here to share the warmth of the season through thoughtful gift-giving—from season tickets to the ballet that show you've been paying attention, to avoiding those all-too-common missteps that turn a well-intentioned gift into a message of self-improvement.

Gifts are more than just objects; they're extensions of our understanding and affection for those we love. So, let's talk about keeping the flame of romance alive with your partner, as I reveal some personal anecdotes from my own marriage. Choosing the right intimate item, or planning a secluded getaway, isn't just about the gift itself, but the message it conveys about your desire to deepen your connection. As we wrap up, join me in sending out holiday well-wishes and keeping Beth and her family in our thoughts during this tough time. And remember, the conversation continues—stay tuned for more before we ring in the New Year.

Are you in a committed relationship but feel like the romance is dwindling? Ever felt underappreciated or complacent in your relationship? Well, this podcast is for you! We have a phenomenal episode today where we tackle the big issue: how to maintain the spark in your relationship. We will walk you through the common pitfalls couples often face, such as complacency and feeling of underappreciation. We will also share some winning strategies like alternating date nights planning between partners. We also invite you to join the conversation, share your insights, and let's learn from each other.

Going beyond date nights, we bring the focus on small gestures of affection, which surprisingly, have a significant impact on keeping the romance alive. Let's talk about that midday text, that quick phone call you make just to tell your partner they are in your thoughts. We will also dig deeper into how pride can sometimes stop us from expressing our feelings. Remember, it's about making your spouse feel special, consistently!

Romance should always have a front seat in a relationship, but often it gets pushed to the back by the distractions of daily life. In this episode, we are going to discuss the importance of prioritizing romance and how to create your own "romance playbook". Lastly, we will discuss the efficiency in relationships and how to balance being a husband and a lover. Look forward to sharing the joy that comes from being acknowledged for our efforts in our relationships. Sounds like a plan? Let's get those sparks flying again!

You remember Vivienne Rose from two years ago, right? Our favorite squishing smothering goddess graced our podcast with her presence once again. Vivian gives us an intimate peek into her glamorous life as a SSBBW model and her love for New York. With tales of her work trips and her preference for taking road trips over flying, she paints a vivid picture of her exciting modeling journey. We also got an update on her health after her illness during the recent holidays, and we’re thrilled to report she's back in action!

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of being a professional model in the world of travel and photography.  Besides modeling, we discuss the untapped potential of voice work in apps aimed at enhancing intimacy for couples. Speaking of intimacy, we address our co-host Beth's challenging time and how your support has been invaluable.

From Vivienne's social media advertising journey in the adult industry to Vivienne's insightful take on body positivity and fetish modeling, we had some enlightening conversations. Vivienne enlightened us about her clientele, their various kinks, and the moral implications of her work. On the other hand, Vivienne helped dispel the common misconceptions about the fetish modeling industry and shed some light on her upcoming collaborations. We also discuss the poignant issues of fatphobia and the impact of social media on body image.

Here is where you can find Vivienne on Twitter/X on Instagram and via email: bbwviviennerose@gmail.com

We're taking a deep dive into the intricacies of the mind-body connection, unveiling how therapy can alleviate underlying issues such as trauma, abuse, and mental health disorders, ultimately enhancing overall well-being and sexual function.

We'll guide you through this labyrinth, discussing the different stages of grief and offering advice on being a pillar of support for those you hold dear. We don't shy away from the delicate topic of suicide, accentuating the vital importance of empathy over judgment. Remember, grief is not constrained by time; the need to provide a safe space for your loved ones during their difficult times is paramount.

Depression is a winding road, often paved with despair. Sharing personal experiences, we'll highlight the differences between situational and chronic depression, aiming to shed light on the complexities of this mental health disorder. Compassion, understanding, and support are essential tools in this fight against the darkness. Above all, we want to remind you that reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, and there's always someone willing to hold your hand in this journey. Tune in, as we provide resources and encourage everyone to reach out before making life-altering decisions. This isn't just about mental health; it's about human resilience in the face of adversity. Your feelings are valid, and remember, you're never alone.

Get ready to shatter some taboos! Together with Erin, we're diving headfirst into the rarely discussed territory of sexuality and aging. Shedding light on the common misconceptions, we hold a frank conversation on the importance and benefits of maintaining an active love life at any age. Spoiler alert - age is not just in the mind, but also in the body. You might find yourself chuckling or nodding along as we share personal anecdotes and the silly things we did when we thought we were invincible.

Are you ready to unlock the secret to brain health? Here's a hint: it involves the bedroom. Recent studies have unveiled a remarkable correlation between an active sex life and improved mental well-being. No matter the frequency or the quality of your intimate encounters, there's a good chance you are doing wonders for your brain health. With a light-hearted approach, we unpack these findings, while also sharing a personal journey to maintaining an active sex life at the age of 83 post-prostate surgery.

And, just when you thought things couldn't get more interesting, we venture into the realm of age gaps in relationships, the fine art of sexual communication, and the critical need for a positive discussion around sex as we advance in age. We also share our own experiences, like that one time at a blowjob class, and recount tales of navigating relationships with younger partners. So, buckle up for an enlightening ride, filled with laughter, grace, and a sprinkle of cheekiness. Let's talk openly about sex, aging, and everything in between!
