 • Internalised misogyny and sexism from other women
 • The psychology of the 'pick me' girl 
 • Dating as a feminist 
 • The ethics of cosmetic surgery 
 • How to handle misogyny in the workplace, and much more...

255. The psychology of misogyny ft. Hannah Ferguson

We have been hearing a lot about the use of psychedelics to treat mental health in recent years, but what does that actually entail? What do psychedelics actually do to our brain? What would it feel like? What would it look like if psychedelics were as easily prescribed as antidepressants? What are we currently getting wrong about mental health? 
 
In this episode, we bring on an expert. Paul Austin, a psychedelics coach and the founder of Third Wave to explore the future of these drugs and their history, including: 
 
 • The ancient tradition of psychedelics
 • Why they are so transformative for depression and PTSD 
 • The impact on the brain and neuroplasticity 
 • The groundbreaking studies on their effectiveness
 • The limitations and ethical considerations, and much more!

257. The biggest dilemmas of our 20s ft. The listeners

In today's we tackle a topic many of us face but rarely discuss openly: sexual shame and sexual confidence. What holds us back from having amazing sex? What emotional wounds stop us from asking for what we want? Why do we zone out when we're with someone we love? Why do we feel shame about having too much, or not enough sex? These are the questions we are going to ask today. 
 
We are jouned by renowned sex therapist Dr. Emily Jamea, to break down where sexual shame comes from—whether it’s past trauma, religious messaging, or societal pressures—and how it impacts our ability to experience pleasure.
 
Dr. Emily shares powerful advice on unlearning shame, building sexual confidence, and embracing your desires without fear or embarrassment. We also explore the psychology behind libido, its fluctuations in our 20s, and the role mental health, stress, and body image play in our relationships and sexual lives.

258. Healing our sexual shame ft. Dr Emily Jamea

Childhood is a funny thing. You can only really understand it in hindsight and as we become adults we begin to reconsider the ways in which our families have shaped us, for better or for worse. In today's episode, we break down the complicated ways we rethink our family dynamics in adulthood, including: 
 
 • What happens when our family lets us down
 • Our adult reaction to childhood trauma 
 • Do we confront our family or move past it? 
 • Dealing with emotionally immature parents 
 • How to find closure on your own 
 • Navigating difficult family dynamics around the holidays 
 
We welcomed on an amazing guest, Gwendloyn Watson, a Marriage and Family Therapist with an expertise in navigating complicated family dynamics and her family story to guide us through these topics.
