I am discussing how grief shapes our minds, bodies and soul and the profound effects that a few simple actions can have on the way we live and love.

How can we cultivate love during challenging times? In this episode, Sarah speaks with Betony Vernon, designer, sexual anthropologist and author based in Paris. The conversation is in light of Covid-19, it imbues a calm serene way to navigate your day-to-day life, love and relationships. This episode is an invitation to connect to your heart space. Betony offers practical keys to help you stay in a loving and peaceful place. The conversation is illuminating from a sexual standpoint, but it also provides keys to explore your soul further.

The conversation explores a new terrain of depression, fearlessly evoking new ideas and characteristics of what depression can look like and how it can be visible to you but you may not be fully aware and see it with clarity until you recognise the signs. In this episode, Sarah speaks with Dr. Margaret Rutherford on what “perfectly hidden depression” is, and the people who may be affected by it. They explore how perfectionism and control can be tools to mask a person’s feelings. The conversation unfolds into the discussion of how shame and fear can keep a person inhibited in moving forward with their life.   Perfectly hidden depression places a wildly new perspective on what many people may be facing and feeling – the need to look perfect, and control the way we are seen, whether with our partners, friends, clients or online.  Shownotes are available at: https://sarahmarieliddle.com/perfectly-hidden-depression/

For me personally this topic is really sensitive, but an important one. There are so many challenges around this topic and it is not a topic that is spoken about freely. I wanted to bring Naomi Woolfson onto the podcast to discuss the challenges that people face when they go on their fertility journey. Naomi shares her expert opinion and techniques for helping people to cope in comfort. She shares, many pathways to parenting, her Embrace Fertility Method, and her own personal story, how after 46 months she was able to get pregnant. This is a beautiful podcast episode. Please share it with a friend, or family member who may benefit from it. Artwork @letsbefrank_art

The ancient Greeks knew the benefits of longer sex ceremonies They dedicated temples to gods and goddess and abandoned themselves in orgy’s. The goal was to become one with themselves, lovers and the Gods. The planning and engaging of long sacred sex ceremonies stopped when the Christian era emerged.  So, what’s the deal with sex that lasts longer than the average of 5.4 minutes? Aside from the fact that it feels amazing to connect deeply with your partner for six hours... It will: Increase one’s libido Increase desire and sexual gratification Spiritually connect you with high elements of yourself Nourishes your partnership and nurtures your sexual lust for each other Ignites passion Creates a conscious connection with your lover.
