HERE WE ARE AGAIN bringing some FLAVOUR to your FRIDAY! Today we interviewed an absolute legend of a man - Sebastian Terry! If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Jess talks about him constantly on the podcast!

Sebastian is the author of ‘100 things: What’s on your list?’ where he designed his entire life around his bucket list goals. After reading this book (which is only 1/5 of the only books Jess has ever read haha), she became SUPER inspired and created her own bucket list adventure. One thing led to another and it’s what led to the creation of Keep Your Gin Up (long story short - but we dive into the story in the episode)!

Sebastian is now a keynote speaker on many public platforms, sharing his knowledge on developing goals, keeping life exciting and making sure that you leave this planet with no regrets! Tune in, and get ready to be inspired!

Here we are again BRINGING some FLAVOUR to your Friday with an amazing final guest of 2022! This week we are interviewing Jenelle Pierce, Executive Director of the STI Project, spokesperson for the Positive Singles dating app and a Certified Sexuality Educator. Jenelle has a wealth of knowledge around the topic of STIs and has made it her mission to de-stigmatise STIs and provide adequate and effective education around sexual health. Having been diagnosed with herpes herself at a young age, she has insight into the struggles and challenges associated with lifelong STIs. In this ep we discuss the struggles of life we all have, including navigating the dating world, having open conversations and being vulnerable and the effect that throwing anything else difficult into the mix, can have on your sense of self. Every single person can gain something from this interview and the information Jenelle shares with us can be used in all our lives to create a more understanding, less judgmental and more accepting world for all of us to flourish and grow. We place so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect, when in reality, none of us are. Sharing vulnerability is power and will unlock so much more from your life that you ever thought possible.

We discuss in depth what it is like living with herpes, navigating the dating world with herpes, having those vulnerable conversations and also the interaction herpes has with pregnancy (or does it even have an interaction?!).

Remember: We are ALL worthy of being and feeling sexual. We are ALL worthy of love, connection and intimacy. We are ALL worthy of happiness and acceptance and belonging. Try and switch the mindset from “do they like me?” …. To “DO YOU LIKE THEM?!”

This ep is not one to miss and is our last podcast for 2022. We are wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season and can’t wait to be back in your ear holes in 2023!

HERE we are again bringing some FLAVOUR to your FRIDAY with an episode all about Jess! Co-host Jess is the one being interviewed today and you are in for a ride with this one! Jess has been hustling since the moment she was born (literally the moment she was born at 32 weeks premie), fighting and striving for a better life for herself. Jess has faced heartache, a diagnosis of herpes in the "prime" of her single life, and a whole lot of life challenges, more than any person should have to withstand... But she has single handedly formed a path for herself to live a life full of love, passion, friendship and energy. For anyone that has the privilege of knowing Jess, knows that she is one of the hardest working people you will ever meet, she doesn't take no for an answer if it is something she is passionate about and she LOVES life. Jess is loyal, courageous and downright hilarious. That person you always talk about and say "omg that could only ever happen to that person".... that person is Jess. Being her friend is a roller-coaster of the best kind. Her dating stories, what the f*** stories and her whole life should be a movie. We hope you enjoy!

HERE WE ARE AGAIN, bringing some flavour to your FRIDAY!

This week we are diving deep into the vulnerable world of alopecia. Nikita was diagnosed at the young age of 17 with androgenic alopecia after a ‘you’re balding’ comment by a family member. This led to a variety of tests which came to the conclusion of an alopecia diagnosis. Through years of navigating this condition, attempting to ‘cure’ it with medications, dyes, powders and even witch doctors to try and avoid her hair from balding further, Nikita had reached the stage in her life to decide to buy a topper wig.

We love how vulnerable Nikita is during this episode and her positive outlook on her situation. She talks about navigating dating, being open and honest about her condition and what led her into making the decision to talk about this on a public platform such as tik tok! She has since has 3.2 million views on tik tok since sharing! We are so proud of her! Her new ‘Sophia’ wig has become an incredible addition to her everyday life.

Sorry we are not live in colour this week - we had some filming issues and decided to not burden you with terrible visuals and stick to good audio!

We hope you enjoy!

HERE WE GO AGAIN bringing some FLAVOUR to your FRIDAY! This week is a super important, super special podcast with two of the most amazing humans you will ever meet. Rosie Rees & Ash MacDonald are a powerhouse couple, they are both insanely talented and have epic careers as well as a beautiful relationship and family together. You may have heard Rosie on multiple podcasts on multiple platforms but this interview we unpack topics you may never have heard them discuss before… love, sexuality, health and personal struggles.

Rosie is a sexual wellness entrepreneur who owns multiple companies including the Yoni Pleasure Palace, and Ash is a dancer and choreographer with Jungle Body. Ash and Rosie met many years ago, whilst they were both in relationships with men… it took 3 years of having a giant crush on each other before they were in a position to date and explore their connection. Their story is beautiful, raw and authentic and really shows the impact that a connection like no other can have. But their journey hasn’t exactly been simple…

This ep we dive deep into their sexuality journeys, their journey as a couple and the struggles they have had in recent times with Ash’s diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Transverse Myelitis (TM). One day Ash could walk, the next, they couldn’t. Their sheer determination, motivation and passion for life that they have is awe inspiring, and we definitely left this podcast with goosebumps and more gratitude for life with the simplest reminder engrained in our heads… be grateful for what we DO have, rather than what we DON’T.

We know you will love this one.

Here we are again bringing some FLAVOUR to your FRIDAY! This week we have something super sexy and super spicy and that is bringing to you all things swingers! Lawrence owns the famous swingers club, Our Secret Spot in Sydney, and is a legend and a force to be reckoned with. His passion for creating a safe, respectful and fun space to explore yourself and your sexuality, is incredible.
