Welcome Back to Talkin' about the Taboo!
On this episode of Talkin’ About the Taboo, we’re pulling back the curtain on a condition that is rarely discussed, often misunderstood, yet impacts far more people than most realize: lichen sclerosus.
My guest, Hope, is a master’s graduate in mass communication, an avid world traveler, and a powerful voice on TikTok, where her candid series about living with LS has gained over 5 million views!
Through her honesty, humor, and advocacy, Hope has helped countless women find the words, the courage, and in many cases the diagnosis they had been searching for. Together, we dive into her personal journey to diagnosis, the stigma around genital health, the lingering effects of purity culture, and the frustrating reality of medical gaslighting.
We also explore the impact of underdiagnosed diseases, the importance of using humor to talk about heavy topics, and what it means to reclaim your voice when healthcare systems fall short.
Hope doesn’t just bring awareness to LS, she brings connection, validation, and hope (pun intended!) to a community that has too often been left in silence.
If you’ve ever wondered why conversations about genital health are still so taboo—or if you’re someone searching for answers yourself—this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Talkin' about the Taboo!!!
The series has begun!
In this episode of The History of Sex, we dive into the intimate worlds of ancient civilizations. From Egypt and Mesopotamia to Greece and Rome, sexuality was never just about pleasure. It was tied to cosmic balance, fertility, and the very fabric of society. We’ll explore how sacred rituals, fertility rites, and temple practices shaped communities, how prostitution played an economic and spiritual role in Mesopotamian cities, and how philosophy and power influenced Greek and Roman views on desire. Discover how sexuality in the ancient world was woven into religion, politics, and culture and how these legacies still echo in our modern understanding of sex.

What happens when an engineer swaps spreadsheets for gripping the sheets?
Meet Sam, a Somatica-trained Sex & Relationship Coach, meditation nerd, and self-described poly-hearted guide to desire and liberation.
In this episode, Sam shares how he went from climate tech and a men’s groups to helping people reclaim their agency, explore their desires, and live unapologetically turned on.
We dive into embodied sexuality, the freedom of embracing your wants (because they’re never “too much”), and how being poly-hearted can shift the way we love, connect, and experience pleasure.
Whether you’re curious about conscious sexuality, moving through shame, or just love a good transformation story, this conversation will make you rethink what it means to live fully alive... in and out of the sheets.

50 Women 1 question: What does sexual freedom really look like?
For too long, women—especially in midlife—have been fed limiting stories about their bodies, desires, and roles in relationships. But that script is changing.
In this powerful episode of Talkin’ About the Taboo, I sit down with Sarah Nelson, a Brooklyn-based researcher, writer, and relationship coach who’s been on a mission to find out what it looks like when women reclaim their sexual agency.
Through interviews with over 50 women across the U.S., Sarah’s upcoming book sheds light on the intimate, raw, and liberating truths of midlife sexuality.
We talk about why she chose the Somatica Method to guide her work, what ethical non-monogamy looks like in real life, and how she’s raising a 13-year-old with open, shame-free conversations about sex and consent.
From breaking generational cycles to exploring new ways of loving and being loved, this episode is a candid, vulnerable, and empowering dive into what it means to live without apology.
