The audiobook is available on February 18th (on sale), get your copy and let’s heal together.   In this episode, we explore themes of sex, intimacy, and empowerment while celebrating our shared journey of writing and community building. Heather shares insights into the collaborative process of creating the book, the importance of trauma-informed approaches, and the significance of laughter and vulnerability in storytelling. We also delve into the healing power of self-exploration, connection, and community. Anastasia reflects on the experience of becoming a published author through the project. The episode emphasizes the joy of authentic connections and the therapeutic potential of sharing personal stories. What is Pillow Talk? It's smashing stigma with story, eighteen writers share frank and funny stories of their intimate experiences—celebrating moments of passion, and laying bare others they’d rather forget. Disappointing and humiliating encounters are interlaced with  instances of joy and self-discovery in a book that validates all manifestations of desire.   00:00 Welcome and Introduction 05:12 Discussing 'Pillow Talk' and 'Foreplay' 17:28 Community and Connection 31:22 The Importance of Foreplay 40:06 The Power of the Erotic 44:13 The Importance of Trauma-Informed Approaches 47:35 Building Community and Support 49:41 Upcoming Projects and Initiatives 56:06 The Power of Community and Connection 01:09:33 Final Thoughts and Resources
