In this episode of Girl Boss Red Flags, we're keeping the convo going with sex and relationship experts Haylin Belay, Juliette Karaman van Schaardenburg, and Yael Rosenstock Gonzalez. If you have not listened to Hot Topics Part One, we recommend that you listen to that first so that you understand context.

We dive into the wild world of sex and relationship coaching—unpacking how culty dynamics can creep in. We’re breaking down sketchy advice, spotting red (and green!) flags in the coaching space, and exploring how cultural and religious backgrounds shape our views on sex. Plus, with everything going on in the world, we’re talking about why pleasure and self-care matter more than ever—along with real, practical tips for finding support in today’s fast-changing landscape.
