    S2E16 CW/TW: Conversations about being a SA Survivor

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about sexual assault and survivorship that may be triggering for some listeners. Hi, everyone! This is Goddess Cecilia, and welcome to Raw Bar where we talk about sex positivity, pleasure, and education. This is where we break taboos and stereotypes imposed by our cultural norms and society’s perceptions and standards. We’re down to our last episode for the season, and what way to end it than by sitting down with my fellow speakers from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) Speakers Bureau, Corey and Jocely. We won’t talk about our personal experiences here. Instead, we will give you a glimpse of what survivorship feels and looks like and how we are helping support other members of the community with education, advocacy, and prevention initiatives. I hope you take the time to join us in this intense but necessary discussion. In the meantime, remember to love yourself and show yourself some compassion. Stream the episode and subscribe to my podcast for more engaging, stimulating sex-related discussions. In This Episode Our long journey to healing, social change, and advocacy What peer support really means and why it matters in survivorship Workshops and events that leave good (or bad) impressions and feelings Common misconceptions and challenges in survivorship What is self-care in survivorship?

    2E10 A Piece of the Pleasure Pie ft Nicole Mazzeo

    Get ready to indulge in another delicious episode of the Raw Bar! This week, we have the pleasure of hosting the inspiring Nicole Mazzeo, the founder of Pleasure Pie. Our mouths are already watering at the thought of all the juicy topics we’ll be discussing. One of the things we love most about Nicole is her ability to make zines that resonate with so many people.

We can all learn a lot from her approach to open conversation! But wait, there’s more! We're also discussing the importance of period sex in our quest to achieve world peace. Believe it or not, period sex can be a powerful way to revolutionize our perceptions surrounding getting sexual pleasure even during menstruation. At the Raw Bar, we believe that pleasure is an essential ingredient to a fulfilling life. And who better to help us explore this than Nicole Mazzeo? So join us as we dive into everything—from zines to period sex—in pursuit of our pleasure! In This Episode: Her roller-coaster ride toward sex-positive education How her zines are stimulating vital conversations about sexual pleasure and education The origins of pleasure pie  Deep discussions about period sex (why should we talk about it?)
