Hello, Loving Without Boundaries (LWB) community!
I am delighted to share my latest podcast interview with Dr. Tammy Nelson, author, international speaker, TEDx speaker, and sex and relationship expert. What a breathe of fresh meeting Dr. Tammy Nelson is as well as our inspiring and deep conversation. This powerhouse of a woman has a big brain, and a big heart to be doing the incredible and much-needed work that she does. Having watching her TEDx talk, I love her candor, her courageous work, her matter-of-fact-ness around talking about sex, and thinking about “New Monogamy”, which can of course be self-determined, and if we choose, a form of consensual non-monogamy – as long as we are coming from a place of integrity and negotiated transparency. Otherwise, we might be doomed to becoming another statistic of being in the 25 – 60% of folks who cheat on their spouses. I highly recommend checking out her inspiring and intriguing TEDx talk, and perhaps checking out one of her many sex positive, health-centered books outlined below. Dr. Tammy Nelson, I am deeply grateful that you reached out to me to have an authentic, illuminating, and refreshing conversation about all things sex, relationships, and healthy relating. Thank you for all that you do!
