Sharing My Truth Bonsocial

In today’s episode, we talk about intimacy in midlife and what you can do to help! What lube to use and the most popular toys amongst men and women and the trends to look out for! We talk to Leah and Cass of Intimate Wellbeing. They share how their journey started and buying a first toy at 47. We talk about the shame many women in midlife still feel around talking about sex, sex toys, and intimacy in general. 

Apparently, midlife women should be having at least two orgasms a week! It’s beneficial for female health. Why aren’t we? We talk about taking control of our own pleasure. We also talk about what sex toys men and couples are buying. Join us as we chat and laugh with the incredible founders of Intimate Wellbeing, a sexual wellness boutique and community for midlife women.

In this week’s episode, we address a common question. Can a husband or boyfriend have a female best friend without it being considered weird? What boundaries should you have? Or do you, as Mel puts it, use your common sense? If a girl BFF is a little ”too friendly,”  what do you do?

We also talk about ”work wives and husbands” ,when you’re in a relationship and the TikTok phenomenon of ”pick me girls.” What does it all mean? What do you do if your partner changes their behavior around this friend? What if they are tone deaf and don’t notice that their female BFF is really around a little too much and is a little too ”touchy-feely”? Do you say something? Do you put up with it?

Get ready to chuckle your way through this sidesplitting episode of Sharing My Truth, where hosts Mel and Suzie tackle life’s big questions with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of absurdity. In this installment, they dive headfirst into a wild game of ”Would You Rather” that’s guaranteed to leave you in stitches!
Picture this: Mel and Suzie paint a vivid portrait of two wildly different life scenarios, each more outrageous than the last. Would you rather be a 50-year-old dynamo, oozing charisma,and success but navigating the treacherous waters of singledom? Think Samantha from ”Sex in the city”.  Or would you rather the life of a younger mom, complete with a luxurious lifestyle and two adorable kids, but saddled with a husband she hates!

This week, Mel and Suzie tackle a common relationship struggle. The temptation to return to an ex for physical intimacy despite knowing it’s time to move on. The catalyst? A heartfelt write-in from a listener grappling with the aftermath of a breakup caused by differing desires for children. Mel and Suzie delve into the complexities of this situation, offering candid advice on how to break free from the cycle and embrace new opportunities for love and fulfillment. You have to ask yourself: Why do you keep going back to your ex for more? It could, and it probably is stopping you from experiencing something great!
As they dissect the listener’s predicament, Mel and Suzie emphasize the importance of ripping off the band-aid and moving forward. ”Staying in this cycle is only prolonging the pain,” Mel asserts. ”It’s time to prioritize your own happiness and let go of what’s holding you back,” adds Suzie.

In this episode, we talk about “the role of the mistress.” We talk about the, ”other woman” or the ”homewrecker”! Has our perception of the mistress changed? There have been a lot of popular shows that have depicted the mistress role. There are the famous mistresses, like Camila Parker Bowles. Have we realized that yes, the mistress is cheating, but so is the man!
In the grand theater of relationships, mistresses often find themselves cast as the elusive anti-heroine, challenging societal norms and defying expectations with a saucy swagger. They’re the rebels with a cause, rewriting the script of love and loyalty with each clandestine rendezvous.
