Orla O’ Flaherty is a herbalist, naturopath, and nutritionist who specialises in female health. She is also one of my closest friends so this is more of a fly on the wall conversation that goes in a lot of different directions. I’ll add for men (or women who aren’t interested in the topic) – the first 12 minutes is about period pain, endometritis and hormone health so if you want to skip straight into the meatier topics, feel free to.. Trigger warning: we talk about some uncomfortable topics that may be triggering for some people. Period pain and emotional links Endometritis and working out Relationships and dating apps in 2024 Moving through difficult relationships and self-abandonment Stepping into your healed feminine or healed masculine Dating apps and what NOT to do How to spot guys who just want sex Sensuality vs sex Father, mother and parental wounds Sexual kinks and owning your sexuality The Madonna/whore complex, the sacred prostitute and integrating parts of it as woman in the modern age Carl Jung and the shadow side Removing blocks to become more sexual or sensual as a woman And much more.
