We are going on a metaphorical journey to meet FUTURE YOU! Does that sound crazy? I promise it’s not. This would probably make an excellent walking pep talk, btw. Whatever has happened up until now, whatever tools you’ve been working with and whatever skill level you’ve had, all these things have shaped and created present day you, and while present day you is NOT broken, chances are you are...

This is your self-intimacy pleasure plan. We’re doing discovery questions, exploration ideas, and comfort zone busting (including my own comfort zone). You already know the most important relationship you'll ever have is with yourself but most of us think about the mental or physical health side of that.

Listening to my body helped me survive and taught me how to get st...

The gender data gap and your fitness. This is where we explore how the gender data gap (and a knowledge gap) affect your body in terms of fitness, nutrition, and even overall health.  Imagine a world where we said to teenage boys and men...  “We will switch off your testosterone, and replace it with a synthetic pseudo-testosterone. It’s going to cause weight gain, depression, and loss of...

Everything we still don't know about women because it has never been studied! One way to describe it is the gap between what research would have you believe you know about a female body and the actual data that has been collected. The gender data gap is an absence of data. Does using a male body as a representative of all humankind when testing things and designing equipment sound be silly? Who wo...
