The Midlife Chaos

A hot take is a statement that's bold or edgy enough that people just have to debate. It's not really, factually, right or wrong. But people can't help without putting in their opinion. In the right situation, hot takes open the door for lively and (hopefully) fun conversation and connection.

Today's focus is on the topic of Interpersonal Violence taken from the National Sex Education Standards, edition 2 (2020)

I know this topic can be tough or sensitive. I know that we think our children aren't ready to hear it. Maybe we don't even have kiddos at home. We do have influence over those around us, or even our grandchildren. Our best option is to be a knowledgeable resource.

What did you learn about sex growing up? For me? Not much at all.  We are taking a look at the National Sex Education Standards. I am impressed with how it is laid out by category and by age.  The standards are both insightful and necessary for the wide range of topics included.

I am hopping on a soapbox. I heard a phrase this week that has just not sat right with me. You may not like my perspective, I'd love to hear your take. How do you feel when you are told to be the bigger person? How validated does that make you feel? Let's chat about it!

I've thought a lot about my conversation with Lacy. I am sharing thoughts from two people that I follow on social media with ideas on how to make the transition a little easier, or at least feel prepared a little bit. Maybe these are some ideas that you haven't considered, or maybe this is the push you need to get some conversations happening.

My good friend Lacy has agreed to talk about losing her husband and sharing her journey with grief. I am so impressed with her because as hard as she is on herself for "not getting past it" she has learned many lessons along the way. From feeling like she was warned to learning that it really is all in God's hands. At the end of the day she encourages us to love those around us and to not take for granted the time we...

Today is one of those days... I am just not feeling it.
In the name of consistency and accountability, today's episode is just me rambling. What's going on in your life? Me?  A whole lot of nothing and something at the same time and it is making me feel some kind of way.

We can talk all day about getting over good girl syndrome and making that mindset shift of what we have been taught or not been taught about healthy sexuality but at the end of the day, if the sex your having is "meh", then you aren’t going to be too eager to be having that sex.

All about Sexy Sleepover. What is it? Who is it for? 

I love to talk about sex!! All the fun, silly, taboo parts of it. But I also love to talk about the beauty of it. The way that it is so intimate and connecting.
The Sexy Sleepover is a safe place to chat all things sex. A lot of the women I work with have the same conditioning that sex is a totally taboo topic. I realize a lot of women struggle with their sexuality ...
