Nothing Confidential the Podcast
68 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 45 ratingsWelcome to Nothing Confidential the podcast!
I’m Christin Henke, your hostess with the mostest, guide from the side, and mistress of ceremonies. Together, we’re about to explore and deconstruct the shame and stigma surrounding our sexuality.
You heard that right. We’re going deep on the topics of sex, relationships, spirituality, health, and everything else that impacts our ability to live, love, and orgasm freely.
My hope is to shine the light on our shared experiences by normalizing taboo topics and empowering each of you to reclaim autonomy of your pleasure, your bodies, and your lives.
You are now entering a judgment-free zone where I ask all the uncomfortable and embarrassing questions for you!
Our unofficial mantra is: Be curious, not judgmental. So leave your inner prude at the door or strap her in tight because this. Is. Happening.
