Today, I’m having a spirited conversation with Georgie Wolf. You’ve heard her on the show before, because she’s 68 different kinds of awesome.
When I say, “I’m having a conversation with Georgie”, what I actually mean, is, “Georgie is having a conversation with me”. She recorded this for her podcast, which is called the Art of the Hookup – more about that at the end of the show.
We started out with the topic of shame, as in, the shame that goes on in relation to sex and sexuality. Here’s the thing – if you think this topic doesn’t apply to you, you’re almost certainly wrong. Shame is almost everywhere, and it becomes an embedded part of all of our sexualities – we internalise the shame.
It influences how we approach other people, how they approach us, how we relate to our bodies and our pleasure, and it has implications for our mental health. It’s got huge implications, too, for our relationships. But this chat is anything but doom-and-gloom; there’s as much here about solutions as there is about the problem itself.
So buckle up, get a cup of tea, and listen to Georgie and I getting really excited about shame…
