Today’s guest has been on our bucket list for a few years now. Even with that in mind, the conversation still exceeded our expectations! It’s raw and open and we go to some of the darker parts of what shaped the person that Abby became.

Abby Wambach is a soccer icon, speaker, Podcaster, New York Times Best Selling author and activist. Abby is one of the most dominant sportswomen in the history of women’s soccer and she is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist & FIFA World Cup Champion. After winning the Women’s World Cup in 2015, Abby retired and has gone on to be one of the most prominent voices fighting for equality and inclusion.

Abby has recently released her latest book that she co-authored with her wife Glennon Doyle & Amanda Doyle “we can do hard things”. The book is broken into 20 of life’s biggest questions like ‘why am I like this?’, ‘how do I figure out what I want?’ ‘why can’t I be happy?’ and ‘How do I forgive?’ So, today we wanted to speak with Abby about the hard things she has faced in life and what those challenges taught her about herself and the world.

First up, Abby shares the moment that she truly hit rock bottom that exposed a big secret she was struggling with to the world. We also chat:

• The reason so many athletes struggle with alcohol/drug issues
• The search for identity when you go through big life changes
• Validation and how to cope when the source of validation is removed
• Overriding self esteem coming from ‘the grind’ and pushing through suffering
• The interesting way Abby reacted when one of their kids came out as gay and how it reshaped some of her own experiences of coming out
• Creating friendship with parents
• What your shadow side is
• Grief and a better response to ‘there are no words’
• Dealing with grief when you’re non religious
• Abby’s advice - don’t use your partner’s weaknesses against them
• The ‘who cares more’ rule

One of the most common questions we get from our listeners is ‘where has my desire gone and how do I get it back?’ It seems to be something every one of us experiences at different stages of our lives and we still don’t seem to be talking about it all that much. Speaking of things we don’t talk about, when was the last time you self pleasured? How about your partner? Do you ask them when they masturbate? Don’t worry, we don’t either. But maybe we should!

Joining us is the incredible Dr. Jennifer Gunsaullus, aka ‘Dr. Jenn,’ a sociologist, sexologist, TEDx speaker, and ‘Vagina Warrior’. With over 20 years of experience in the field of sexual health, Dr Jenn is here to break down how we all feel about desire and pleasure for ourselves and within our relationships!

We spoke about:

• How our attitudes have changed when it comes to talking about sex
• How girls and boys are socialised differently when it comes to our bodies
• When to talk to kids about their ‘urges’
• How our desire levels change over our lifetime and so does ‘what feels good’
• Is porn a common problem in relationships?
• Are you the higher desire person or lower desire person in your relationship?
• How important is it to masturbate?
• Practical ways that you can bring your desire back

You can find Dr Jenn’s new book From Madness to Mindfulness: Reinventing Sex for Women

Hey Lifers!

Britt has learnt a very good lesson about double glazed glass and not so private beaches.
She’s gearing up to get *legally married this week and has asked Laura and Keeshia to be a part of it.
What did you do with your wedding certificate? Are you framing and hanging it up? How about your degree?

A survey has revealed that most people are thinking about their ex when they’re getting off. We did our own *research into this and it turns out more of you are than we expected! Have you ever said an ex’s name during sex?

Do you think female entertainment journalists have a greater responsibility to report fairly on women in the media? Are gossipy, bitchy pieces written by women a betrayal to their own gender?

British actress and activist Jameela Jamil announced via her Substack that she will no longer be interviewed by women. This came after a particularly critical profile in The Times, and she’s said that of the “hundreds of women” who have interviewed her over her 17-year career, only three have written about her fairly.

We unpack whether we think female journalists are to blame, what the trade off of a profile piece is and the grey areas of standing on your morals.
We also discuss the specific tactics that some media use to manipulate your opinion about someone. Some of them are more obvious than others.

If you’d like to read the pieces we discuss,

Jameela’s substack I think I'm done with being interviewed by women.

The Times Jameela Jamil: 'I stood up for Meghan long before I met her'

The cut - Feminism? Jameela Jamil Is Too Feminist to Be Interviewed by Women Journalists
