INTERVIEW: On today's episode I chat with award-winning writer and media critic Soraya Chemaly. Soraya speaks frequently on topics related to gender, media, tech, women's rights, sexual violence and free speech. She was named one of Elle Magazine's 25 Inspiring Women to Follow on Twitter, and was the recipient of the Women’s Institute for Freedom of the Press’s Women and Media Award. She is the author of the upcoming book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger. On this episode Soraya shares with us her explorations into anger, and the gendered & racial implications of who deserves to be angry. We talk about the politics of emotions, the limited language that we have for expressing & understanding how we feel, and so much more.

INTERVIEW: On today's episode, I chat with my good friend Hannah Matluck — a certified holistic health and wellness coach and the founder, producer and host of the V Hive podcast. The V Hive was born as a result of Hannah’s own challenges with chronic pelvic pain. After figuring out how to navigate these complicated issues, she realized how common they are and how infrequently they are discussed, and was eager to bring these topics to the forefront. On this episode, Hannah shares with Bedside her journey navigating pelvic pain, and her outlook on healing. We unpack the importance of pelvic therapy, and how it can help vagina-havers (and non-vagina-havers) with chronic UTI’s, bladder frequency, and so much more. Hannah thrives on having open conversations about taboo topics that all individuals should have knowledge on and access to, and her value for that shines through in our conversation today.

Nicole’s work is rooted in empowerment, guidance, and validation as she mentors middle schoolers, high schoolers, and individuals in their college years with the tools to navigate transitional experiences.

On this episode, Nicole shares with Bedside her own experience of success, sharing her story as a first generation African American having moved to the US at 6 years old, and how her knowledge behind race, identity, and community stand as integral pillars to helping others unlock their authenticity.

INTERVIEW: On this episode I chat with Ev'Yan Whitney, a Sexuality Doula and host of The Sexually Liberated Woman Podcast.  Ev’Yan’s expertise lies in holding space for women and femme-identifying folks who are ready to step OUT of shame, confusion, and fear within their sexuality, and INTO erotic empowerment — whatever that may look like.

We speak about how she is creating newfound space to maintain connectivity during these uncertain times, and delve into details of Ev’Yan’s beloved pleasure practice: Sensual Dance Meditation.

QUICKIE: On today's episode, I continue the conversation of finding access to pleasure in times of uncertainty through slowing down. I share how slowing down hasn't always come easily to me in my adult life, and the ways I'm equally leaning into pain and pleasure to serve as a grounding tool. This episode will not only give you permission to surrender to a newfound pace of things, but the reassurance to be your authentic self — however you show up. May you be gentle, soft, and assured in these trying times.
