S1E11 my coming out story

EPISODE 11

About the Episode

Have you ever questioned the romantic milestones society tells us we should follow?

The "Heterosexual Timeline"—also known as the Relationship Escalator—is something you’ve probably never heard of, and yet it is the thing telling you what it means to be successful in love.

This unspoken timeline is the reason why most of us date the way we do, it’s why we assume that if you’re in love you should get married, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

At one point we have to ask ourselves, what if the ways we’ve learned how to love has nothing to do with our desires, needs, or our identity?

In this week’s episode, Nadège shares her personal coming-out story and explores how queer people have felt freer to make their own rules in relationships (and why this is a mentality EVERYONE should have!)

This episode will change the way you think about sex, love, and relationships.

Listen now and start creating your own timeline for love!

BEHIND THE POD

a love letter from Nadège

Dear listener,

Over 10 years ago I became a sex scholar because I didn't like sex.

Intimacy felt painful or it made me anxious - which quickly created an unbearable life. I wanted to experience pleasure, connection, and orgasm. So I studied everything I could: psychology, history, and science all through the lens of sex.

Today, I'm passionate about sharing this knowledge because it changed my life. I realized that the key to enjoying sex boiled down to three things. I enjoyed sex once I knew how to relax. I felt safe with sex when I knew all the facts. And I felt sexually empowered when I normalized talking about sex.

This podcast was created to help you find your version of sexual empowerment. In order to help you do that, I'm going to pass on everything I know to you. I don't know what small tidbit of information will be the key to changing your life, but I know that by sharing this information sex positivity will find it's way to you.

So, enjoy these episodes filled with spicy knowledge and experts in my industry who can transform your future. I hope this podcast leaves you with hope, intelligence, and an open heart.

Big hugs,

Nadège
