Permission and Sexuality, Catriona Boffard In listening to Catriona’s Podcast, (Asking for a friend) the topic of “permission” flowed so beautifully and powerfully through each episode!  I was therefore delighted to have her on the Nurture Pod to lean in on the topic!  Catriona shares and helps us identify the potential of this ‘simple’ tool; not only in our comprehensive education but also in our; capacity for pleasure, expression, identity, intimate narratives, expectations, communication…   Todays Guest: Catriona Boffard is a Clinical Sexologist, Psychotherapist, Sexuality Researcher, Podcaster and Author.
