Hello Recover-minos!  I have a treat for you today - a special bonus episode to share from the newly launched Good Girls Don't Podcast that I co-host with Self Love Advocate Verity Mansfield.  If you're ready to start exploring your sexuality and experience a full-body orgasm post-trauma, you won't want to miss this episode! Here's the downlow: We got down and dirty with the delicious Amy Towle from Temple of She. What is Yoni Massage? Is it any different from men getting a ‘happy ending’ How do we talk to our partners about owning our own vaginas? What trauma does the female body endure around sex and sexuality and how is it released? It’s taboo. It’s controversial. It’s Amy’s life work. Amy breaks the good girl rules by challenging us to know every aspect of our bodies, and how to reconnect with the powerful sexual energy that can transform our lives, our businesses, and our relationships. Who is Amy Towle, Anyway? Amy Towle is fierce. I’ve had the honor of meeting and working with Amy in a slightly different area, and she truly is the embodiment of Mother Earth and more. If Mother Earth met the Goddess Venus, we’d be getting even closer! Amy Towle is dedicated to working with Willing Women who want to open Pandora’s box and delve into exploring all of who they are and clearing out all the shit so they can embrace their sexuality, sensuality and live their most vulnerable self. She’s an Intuitive Goddess, Yoni Masseuse, Mentor, and Midwife.

Just about everyone on planet earth has a problem with their own self-worth and trauma survivors? We're a special sort with the work seriously cut out for us.  So in this episode, I'm sharing with you one tool I've used in my own recovery to help turn things around and support all the other tools, tricks, changes I've had to include and stick on my utility belt.   

Is it possible to have sex after rape and sexual assault? Is it possible to to have a healthy sex life, or are we as survivors doomed to a life of celibacy and never able to enjoy a toe-curling orgasm ever again?  Join me for a look into what sex can be like post-trauma and the strange twists and turns of the non-linear healing and recovery process.  You'll hear from Rene Michele from Victim to Victory (get the book, it's glorious!) and Lara Whitley from the podcast Hellbound.

This space is for women (and men) who’ve been told they’re too much.   Too tall, too small, too big, too round, too loud or too quiet. Too good, too bad, too wasteful, too slutty, too frigid. Too jiggly, too wobbly, too bony, too strong, too weak, too gorgeous, too smart - too much anything.   This is the place where we smash those rules we’ve been taught to follow both as men and women and burn the darn rule book. It’s time to create your own rules - to follow your own heart and be who you are at the core, with none ‘o this heteronormative-patriarchial bulldust.   Good Girls Don’t Podcast is hosted by Verity Mansfield, Self Love Advocate, and Coach and Ashleigh Rae, the Podcast Queen. On the Good Girls Don’t Podcast you will meet incredible women from your own backyard changing the world from starting their own businesses to economic, political and social issues - and you’ll learn just how amazing the women who’ve come before us are. We’ll tackle the big issues, we’ll talk about the issues no-one talks about, and we’ll be fiercely feminist about it.   Hang out and Break More Rules with Verity and Ashleigh at: www.facebook.com/goodgirlsdontpod

Welcome Back to Recovery, Gorgeous!  The podcast for Survivors of Violence in Australia.  Today, I've got a brave soul with me ready to share her story of Coercive Control as part of our #1000storiesforchange campaign.  Linda shares how she met her first partner and was engaged at age 18 and married not long after with two young kids - and how a serious car accident that could have been fatal, woke her to the reality of her deep unhappiness.  Linda shares her experiences of leaving multiple times, how she was further isolated after leaving by moving interstate where she had no community, family or friends to be connected with, and when the final she left, the police patrolled her neighborhood to ensure her safe leaving and living in a Women's Refuge. She also bravely shares the countless texts and phone calls she received from her then partner and the process she went through to obtain a No Contact Order through the court system.  Yes - what Linda experienced was horrible and painful. But you'll also hear the hope she has, the strength that radiates out of her, and her words of wisdom on the recovery and healing process.    Connect with Ashleigh Email: hello@ashleighrae.com facebook: @recoverypodcast 10 Easy and Effective Ways to Kick Trauma in the Butt and Get on With Business - Get your copy by clicking here.

Friends and Feminists,  We take a break from normal programming today to honor the life and work of one of our own who died on Tuesday, December 5th 2018.  Today's episode features an interview with global change maker, Louisa Tew whom Ashleigh interviewed for our sister podcast The Virtually Awesome Podcast earlier this year.  Louisa was changing the world and supporting families across nations and oceans to lift themselves out of poverty and change the prospects of entire communities.  This interview honors her life, and Ashleigh asks that you take a moment to really drink in what and how this incredible soul was pioneering social change.  We'll be back soon when grieving permits. 

Welcome to season one, episode four of Recovery Podcast!  Strap in feminists, this week we're getting on our equally high horses to talk about what the fudge-nuggets has happened post Victorian State Elections, a little history of women's voting rights, and we're joined by fellow feminist and fearless woman, Trudi Pavlovky to ask the most important questions every feminist should be asked: Does she hate men?  Is she a Witch?  How do we punch a big hole in the Patriarchy?  What does a world post Patriarchy look like? Stay tuned for some rad feminist jokes that are bound to have you groaning and giggling - tweet us your favorite jokes @RecoveryPod!   

Welcome back, Feminists and Survivors!  Today's episode is chock-a-block with Feminist News where we are soooo not surprised by yet another NRL sports star biting ladies an their genitals and the death of Sex and the City 3 - as well as an amazingly delicious interview with Extractor of Awesome Resume Writer and Mentor to Survivors, Rene Lacey on dismantling the shame and guilt around what constitutes a "normal" reaction to extreme trauma, the impact of trauma on your physical health and wellbeing, and her personal moment of going from victim, to victor!  You'll also be introduced to my biz buddy and fellow feminist, Verity Mansfield while she patiently lets me bang on about a hot new theory I have that just might change the world and solve almost all our problems.  Remember to commit an act of resistance or guerrilla warfare - stand up for you, or someone else - advocate, donate, take action!

Welcome to the official first episode of Season One of Recovery! After a break, we've remodelled this podcast to cover more lady-centric things including a Feminist News segment, and Cool Feminist Things. Today's episode features Lisa, a courageous Melbourne woman who was sexually assaulted by a man she met via an online dating service. This episode covers explicit content, descriptions of injuries and her experiences with the medical and judicial system as an adult survivor of rape. It also covers Lisa's story of recovery and the incredible resilience and courage she has to rebuild her life. Key Points: Ask for support from your loved ones Trauma can look “busy”, take time to check in with yourself Seek support from an advocacy service to find out what your rights are Forgiveness is a key to recovery Discover More About Lisa: www.healingspacesonline.com Mentioned Links: The Tinder Rapist Walking Free Article Everyday Sexism Project Contact Ashleigh: ashleigh@recoverypodcast.me www.recoverypodcast.me
