Education
In this episode, Rachel Overvoll shares her story of growing up in a religious cult and its oppression of female pleasure, her healing through BDSM, a real example of an erotic consent conversation, and shares her observations and experiences in non-monogamy vs monogamy. Rachel and I are peers in the Somatica Institute Relationship and Sex Coaching Program.She and I are cut from the same cloth in that we hold back nothing — she tells us how she freed herself from the cult but is still unlearning the deeply rooted messages and patterns AND she courageously shares private stories of her sex life that we can learn from. ____________________ Links we talked about: Let’s Talk Pleasure with Rachel Overvoll: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-talk-pleasure/id1503733175?i=1000500045203 Her book, Finding Feminism ~ A Memoir by Rachel Overvoll: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R43YZFW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelovervoll A list of Characteristics Associated With Cults with Dr. Janja Lalich: http://cultresearch.org/help/characteristics-associated-with-cults/ ____________________ About Ellen Melon: Sex & Relationship Coach and Educator specializing in shame, attachment, and taking things personally.
