Finding My Yum Finding My Yum

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!

What an absolute joy it was talking to these two amazing women, Marci Liroff and Chantal Cousineau, all about their work as intimacy coordinators. We talk about the training involved to become an intimacy coordinator and the power and necessity of precise language and transparency from the audition process to the day of filming. We discuss the protections under the new SAG-AFTRA contract, the larger scope of these protections in legislation, other industries and beyond, what they do on set to support performers and the whole crew and so much more! They have anecdotes galore and incredibly powerful stories about the industry and how it has evolved. You are going thoroughly love this episode, please enjoy!
Marci has been involved with filmmakers as a casting director, producer, andacting coach for the last 40+ years. She's cast so many films including E.T, Blade Runner and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, to name a few. She is one of the premier intimacy coordinators today who trained, along with Chantal, with Amanda Blumenthal. @MarciLiroff https://www.marciliroffic.com/
Chantal has been a grounded voice within the MeToo advocacy community since 2017, helping 1400+ survivors of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. As a long time member of SAG-AFTRA, she serves on several national safety committees and has combined her many years of experience to work as a certified film and television intimacy coordinator.

I had such an inspiring chat with Barb!! She lost her arms in an electrical accident at the age of 2 1/2 years old and has grown to be a woman who has learned to live life independently. She is a mom, an accomplished athlete, and a mentor. We talk all about her upbringing, her journey to pole dancing (spoiler alert she competed and WON at an amateur stripping contest), paving the way as a limb different fitness competitor, her work with NubAbility and so much more. Limits truly only exist in our mind and she is a constant example and inspiration to live life authentically and boldly. I hope you enjoy!

Housing Law and Inclusive Language – with Dan Kozieja
It was such a joy having Dan as a guest on the pod! I chat with full-time housing attorney and part-time educator, Dan Kozieja. We cover his journey and inspiration into law, his work helping unhoused folks and his educational videos discussing inclusive and mindful language. He is so insightful. I love talking about the importance of language and how we can all (especially those of us privileged white folks) be cognizant of the words we use and how they effect others. He is amazing, check out his Instagram @transcendthebinary_  for all of his educational resources!
