Who is the Redhead Bedhead you ask? JoEllen Notte is a writer, speaker, researcher and mental health advocate who also talks about sex toys. This all started a few years back when she ended a sexless marriage, rebooted her life and decided to learn all about sex. JoEllen is a certified sex educator through the Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts Sexuality Education Certification Series and has spoken at Clark College, University of Chicago, Woodhull’s Sexual Freedom Summit and the Playground Conference. JoEllen is not a doctor or a therapist. She is a writer and sex educator and is committed to challenging stigma, offering resources, and helping folks feel seen, heard, and supported.

Tim & JoEllen talk about her book, the Monster Under the Bed, how sex correlates with mental health, what made her want to get into sex education, why talking about sex is awkward, tips for partners who are depressed and what products she recommends!
