sexualtrauma

Pamela Anderson has had an incredibly rich, and varied, career. She's an actress, the author of several books, and a prominent activist - especially for animal rights.
But many people still see her primarily as a sex symbol, the archetypal "blonde bombshell."
In a new memoir titled "Love, Pamela", Anderson takes control of the narrative, telling her story in her own words.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

About Sara Connell

Ata young age her dream of being a writer was shut down when a teacher told her she wasn’t good enough. Fast forward to 17 years ago when a book saved her life. Sara in between flights after a long day of traveling, in the airport book store, picks up a book that she absolutely finds herself in. Reads it endlessly & tirelessly, wakes up and makes a vow to herself. She left the abusive job, sought the help she needed to regain physically and emotionally.

We’re continuing our conversation with activist, founder of the me too movement, and our personal friend and hero,Tarana Burke. We talk about:  1. What Tarana would say to her twelve-year-old self that might have changed the trajectory of her life. 2. Tarana’s life-shifting realization that her relationship struggles with her mother were not due to her mother’s lack of desire to love her well, but her lack of capacity—and how Tarana built more capacity for her own child.    3. The one thing Tarana said to her child that changed everything—and why Amanda now says the same thing to her children.   CW: We reference sexual abuse and trauma. About Tarana:  For more than 25 years, activist and advocate Tarana J. Burke has worked at the intersection of sexual violence and racial justice. Fueled by commitments to interrupt sexual violence and other systemic inequalities disproportionately impacting marginalized people, particularly Black women and girls, Tarana has created and led various campaigns focused on increasing access to resources and support for impacted communities, including the ‘me too.’ movement, which to date has galvanized millions of survivors and allies around the world.

On today’s show, Emily is talking about everything from what couples who have more sex are eating to why suppressing your fantasies just makes you think about them more. She discusses why it’s time to get over masturbation guilt, what to do if your partner is monogamous and you’re not, how to keep from getting dry when it comes to condoms, and whether or not society is going to accept you for who you are.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors who help keep the show FREE: Magic Wand, Promescent, Adam & Eve  Hosted on Acast.
