Hello ladies, welcome to class! Today we are joined by author Liz Hambleton to talk about romance, consent, sex, and overcoming shame.
The discussion delves into how fictional intimacy can provide a safe space for women to explore their desires and the societal stigma surrounding female sexuality. Liz shares her insights on the orgasm gap, the cultural perspectives on sex, "found families", and the realities of pregnancy and motherhood, ultimately redefining what a happily ever after looks like in her narratives.
We also explore the portrayal of love in literature, the need for better sex education, and the breaking of societal stigmas surrounding different types of relationships. The conversation emphasizes empowerment through understanding and acceptance of diverse love stories, as well as the importance of open discussions about consent and anatomy in education.
Liz writes the kind of stories you get completely lost in—imperfectly beautiful romances set in alternate worlds, where strong-willed heroines and resilient heroes fight for love in the midst of chaos.
She is the author behind the Twin Flame series, The Third Storm series and her most recent book Caitlin Can’t Die, just to name a few. These are stories that let you escape reality while still feeling every ounce of truth, intimacy, and emotional power.
When she’s not writing or reading, she is an incredible wife to her husband, wrangles two amazing kids, two massive dogs, and honestly? She’s one of the most brilliant, grounded, heart-forward people we know.
Enjoy!
