Welcome back to another episode of our podcast! Today, we had an incredibly insightful conversation with Mikaela Corlette, a relationship therapist and who addresses sex and trauma head on. Mikaela is part of the team of professionals who works with Upper Echelon Matchmakin. We dove deep into the world of therapy, discussing the importance of addressing personal traumas, even micro traumas, and how they can impact our relationships and dating experiences.

Key Highlights:

Valentine's Day Vibes: This week's cocktail is a simple glass of pink champagne, perfect for Valentine's Day, and sent out good vibes to both couples and singles.

Girl Scout Cookies: There was a light-hearted debate about the best types of Girl Scout cookies, again, with a clear preference for Samoas and Trefoils over Thin Mints.

YouTube and Patreon: We reminded our listeners to check out our YouTube videos, subscribe, and join our Patreon for exclusive content, including a recent live session with a sexy massage expert.

Trauma and Relationships: Mikaela shared her journey into sex therapy and trauma work, emphasizing how unresolved personal traumas can significantly affect romantic relationships.

The Importance of Individual Therapy: She highlighted the value of individual sessions in therapy, where clients often reveal deeper issues affecting their relationships.

Matchmaking Insights: Mikaela discussed her role in Upper Echelon Matchmaking, where she assesses clients for trauma and helps them prepare for healthy relationships.

Weird Sex News: We shared a shocking story about a woman who took drastic action against her husband for his alleged involvement with a minor.

Trauma Types: Mikaela explained the spectrum of traumas, from major life-changing events to micro-traumas that can subtly erode self-esteem over time.

Therapy and Self-Work: We discussed the importance of working on oneself, whether single or in a relationship, and how therapy should be a proactive choice rather than a last resort.

Pleasure Profile Assessment: Mikaela introduced the Pleasure Profile Assessment, a tool designed to help individuals understand their sexual preferences and improve their sex lives. Kiki and Medinah both took the assessment ahead of the show and Mikaela explains their results.

Sex Education and Pleasure: We touched on the need for better sex education, particularly around the topic of pleasure, and how societal norms can hinder women's sexual enjoyment.

Whitley Gilbert and Chi's Cameos: Kiki and Medinah's dog-ters were on set today and let their personalities shine, well bark

Listener Engagement: We encouraged our audience to reflect on their own experiences with trauma and pleasure, and to seek therapy or self-help resources if needed.

Remember, whether you're in a relationship or navigating the single life, it's crucial to address your traumas, communicate openly about your needs, and never stop working on being your best self. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes!
