#005: Lessons Learned In Celibacy - with Safiya Robinson
Dentist and author, Safiya, is celibate and a free spirit at heart. What I thought was going to be purely about sex and celibacy, evolved into a much deeper topic.
We discuss:
How Safiya choose celibacy. Was she going around having bad sex and gave up?
Does she date and how it works?
The difference between choosing it for you vs your beliefs.
How sex positivity isn’t always helpful.
Free choice and don’t look to others to validate it
Marching to your own drum. Take ownership of your feelings, beliefs and body.
Ask for what you want.
What is intimacy and are we settling for mediocre sex instead?
From believing no one could ever love me, to hell yeah, bring on the love!
Why quirks are the best in love
Keeping it simple, not wasting energy on things that may never happen.
Safyia’s take on expectations.
I reveal why I’m so passionate about health and why I chose it as a business.
