How did discovering her sexuality help her change her relationship with her body and her eating disorder?
Can you have a Girl Boner and be a “good girl” at the same time? SPOILER ALERT – HECK YES! Guess what… women GET to have pleasure too! Growing up, NO ONE talked about this. What a NOVEL concept. Well, guess who is!
So excited to share this interview with fellow Minnesota Girl, August McLaughlin.
If you aren’t familiar with Girl Boner… the book or the podcast, or even if you are, listen in!
We talk about BMI and the origins of that messed up state of affairs for women both white and of color.
She defines “good girl”
Are you TIRED of the “Just think positive and LOVE your body advice”?
I LOVE her perspective on this…
Finding our way to being body positive… It isn’t as easy as just THINKING positively about our body… start with respecting your body and the bodies of other people. She helps us know how to move ahead when your not in a place of “I LOVE MY BODY!” to “I Respect my body”.
Examine our beliefs of our historically rooted body sabotage.
Self compassion… What if we are NOT in a place of confidence… even though we are told it is the “sexiest thing”. And, still having a fulfilling sexual and sensual life.
“your pleasure matters… and sometimes that is the focus”
Sexual Empowerment… August brings it to authenticity
The orgasm that changed her life… at 30 – Helping her move further into owning her own sexuality.
