Finding My Yum – Details, episodes & analysis

It is our LAST episode of FMY… for now :). And what a way to go out with Tara and Andre! Tara is a relationship and awesomeness coach and Andre is a sex positive registered Psychotherapist and together they cofounded T&A. They talk about their own relationship and journey exploring different dynamics and their version of polyamory. How Tara and Andre both found new possibility and pleasure with each other by looking past traditional ideas of monogamy. We also talk about their incredible online community, Let’s Talk Poly, and their strategies for couples and individuals navigating jealousy, communication and desire. This episode is a blast and so informative, I can’t wait for you to listen!

We are thrilled and honored to bring you this episode with the brilliant Dr. Sarah Kauffman, AGAIN :)! She talks us through the field of reproductive psychology, the role psychiatrists have played historically with abortion, and the physical and psychological changes that happen during pregnancy. We are always excited to talk with experts, and Dr. Kauffman blew us away. Enjoy!

We are joined by Kes, Hollis and Stacey of the Lime, Gin, Beer, Tequila (LGBT) podcast! They talk to us about Queer and Trans culture, as well as creating erotic fanfiction, expressing sexuality on stage, and their own journeys with identity.

This episode is a party - where you learn a lot, too! The best kind of party! Check out their podcast here - https://limeginbeertequila.wordpress.com/about/

On today's episode we welcome Jillian Courtney, Geri's real life actual cousin! They talk about what it was like to grow up in the same general family, but with two very different paths to finding their yum's. Jillian is a true delight, and throughout this series has served as a sounding board and guide for our host - take a listen!

Geri is joined by Whitney Ullom - Sexuality Coach for Creative Women - to talk about how a healthy relationship with your sexuality can change *everything* in your life. Whitney shares her own experiences coming to this realization, and talks to us about how life changing this revelation can be.  Did you know it's possible to have a heart orgasm? We didn't!

Join Geri for a heavy - but uplifting - episode of Finding My Yum. She is joined by Olga Desyatnik, one of her dearest friends and all around awesome woman, to talk about the process of healing after trauma.   If you or someone you know has experienced trauma along these lines, we encourage you to visit RAINN for support. 

Geri brings on a friend and former professional Dominatrix to talk about her experience as a bdsm sex worker - and boy is it eye opening. Topics covered include - body casting as a fetish, how being a book worm helps you charge more in this line of work, and whether Geri wants to try it out herself. You'll have to listen to find out!

Sure, Geri is trying to date after three years in a relationship, but what's it like to date when you've been out of the game for 20? We bring friend and newly single Dave on to talk about what was yummy back in his 20's, and what's it like trying to find himself - and a new partner - 20 years later.

We were super excited to be joined by corrective adult sex educator and podcast phenom Sex Nerd Sandra! Geri comes into the episode with a ton of questions about pleasure - how to orgasm during sex, anal play, bdsm... and we got to one of them before diving into fear, communication and companionship styles.  It's the spiciest episode yet - but also the most personal.  Related material - The Power of Vulnerability, a Ted Talk with Brene Brown.

Bri Giger - Actress, Comedian, Improviser and Superwoman - joins our show today to talk about how she found her yum.  We touch on identity, what it's like to date within your career track, and Geri has a spicy reveal!
