The Labia Lounge – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week in The Labia Lounge I invited Cody Isabel from Mind Brain Body Lab to come on and give us a neuroscientist's perspective on toxic relationships, healing from trauma, and breaking free from abusive dynamics.

We explore the tendency for people to intellectualize their traumas without experiencing significant progress in therapy. Cody emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and nurturing negative emotions while highlighting the concerns about reinforcing negative neural pathways. With a focus on practical ways to diffuse the power of addictive, drama and abuse cycles, we discuss the significance of somatic experiences and nervous system regulation techniques.

The conversation also explores the modality of internal family systems (IFS) and the neuroscience of trauma bonding, as well as practical strategies for healing and breaking toxic patterns when recovering after a break-up.

Join us as we navigate through the intricacies of trauma recovery, emotional healing, and the complexities of leaving abusive relationships.

This week on The Labia Lounge pod we're dishing up some intersectional insights as I have some thought-provoking conversations with guest and fat, black and queer activist, Milo Hartill, AKA That Fat Diva!

We delve into the unspoken impact of internalized biases, such as fat phobia and racism. We explore the insidious nature of societal conditioning and the influence of media portrayal that contributes to the average mainstream person having some seriously messed up internalised prejudices. We have a dialogue around the importance of becoming aware of, and actively addressing and challenging, these biases in order to be better allies.

And we both share about our personal experiences with privilege, societal perceptions, and the challenges faced due to race, body type, and other factors.

We also address the discomfort of well-intentioned individuals approaching those with less privilege and the emotional labor expected from marginalized groups.

Join us as we explore the complexities of societal biases, the privileges we carry, and where we sit on the social justice scale, as well as the vital importance of continued effort towards allyship and deconstructing our internalised fat phobia, racism, ageism, homophobia, etc etc.

We invite you to engage in open conversations, challenge your beliefs, and strive for a healthier approach to self-acceptance and understanding others.

I believe that change starts with acknowledging our blind spots and taking steps towards a more inclusive and diverse society, and seeking out and consuming resources like this podcast and Milo's epic activism work to grow our awareness and compassion.

This week sees the second ever peen-owner join me in The Labia Lounge for some chats about...yep, ejaculation! Yeehah, grandmaaaa!

Miroslav Petrovic talks about conscious ejaculation, the dogma in spiritual circles around jizzing and how it is demonized, the benefits of ejaculating with more mindfulness and control, the ways in which a peen-owner can utilize ejaculation for self discovery, growth, spiritual experiences and connection to self and partners, his own personal journey with ejaculation and the empowering and deep relationship he now has with it after learning to manage his arousaI levels and choose whether he wants to cum or not.

This one is a thought-provoking and fascinating exploration into something that's commonly misunderstood and misused in our culture. Dive in to hear about the extreme ends of the spectrum that the majority find themselves on when it comes to their approach to ejaculation!

This week in The Lounge I had some real-as-fuck chats with the incredibly intelligent and darling Mangala Holland!

We talk about the demonization of clit-gasms, the bullshit and myths that are perpetuated in neo-tantra like this and the shadowy underbelly of certain communities and teachings that Mangala experienced during her years in the scene. Mangala opens up about some of the horrific experiences she had and the routine abuse of power within the neo-tantric ashram she was part of that was normalised from the moment you joined the ranks (read: indoctrinated into the cult). We discuss the difference between neo-tantra and traditional tantra, cultural appropriation within this realm, and loads more meaty topics that are rarely talked about publicly.

This was a courageous, raw and honest episode that I am so grateful to Mangala for being open to joining me for! What a woman!

We go for round two this week in The Labia Lounge (AKA the juiciest poddy on the internet!) with Catherine Lyell, a men's health and porn addiction specialist.

This is the follow on episode from last week, so if you haven't listened to that, I'd highly recommend going back to get the down low on the fundamentals and the science behind porn addiction.

We cover things like how to talk to your partner about their porn use, the definition of porn addiction (this may surprise you!) the negative impact on the partners of men who watch too much porn, the horrifying consequences of over using porn for teenage boys, erectile dysfunction as a result of porn use in men and how to remedy this, why the combo of masturbating and ejaculation with porn is especially damaging, the effect of porn on the brain, how to heal holistically from porn addiction and Catherine's step by step approach to recovery.

Catherine generously gives listeners FREE access to her two week challenge to overcome porn addiction so if you'd like to claim that you can head over to the Facebook group to snag the link to this bonus freebie! Join The Labia Lounge Facebook group here: www.facebook.com/groups/thelabialounge/

Wowee, this one was jam packed! Catherine Lyell is a men’s health and porn addiction specialist and a pioneer in her field who's not afraid to say some controversial shit!

We had amazing and fascinating chats about porn addiction and covered things like how common it is, what qualifies as a porn addiction, how to recognise if you or someone you love has a problem with porn, how porn works in the brain and the science behind how it rewires your neurologically, approaches to recovering from a porn addiction, the connection between gaming and porn addictions, the impact porn has on relationships and the negative effects on partners of those watching it, how masturbating to porn regularly actually causes damage in the brain and results in erectile dysfunction, the vicious cycle created that spirals into depression, cheating, lying, and other dysfunctional behaviours, and loads more!

We actually decided to break up this episode into two parts so we could really do it justice, so next week's episode is also about porn addiction and will cover more on what to actually do about it and how to navigate this with a partner. There is hope! So stay tuned for that action!

The Labia Lounge welcomed Shannon Vallance in to pull up a cushion and chat about some epic topics this week!

Shannon's work involves inviting women into the realm of the fierce feminine, removing shame from the naturally wild nature of woman and encouraging the radical embrace of unique self.

We discuss things like spiritual oppression, trauma, women's empowerment, limiting beliefs and patterns from childhood and conditioning, how to live more authentically and find your own unique expression of spirituality and empowerment.

Basically the overarching theme of living outside the box is approached from a few different angles here and I hope this episode gives you some food for thought!
