Let Shags Be Shags with Fionnuala Jay
Listen now
Description
Grace is joined this week by broadcaster and host of the Flop Culture podcast, Fionnuala Jay! Fionnuala and Grace chat about the differences between sex education today and when we were young, the rise of far-right fear-mongering around sex education, the myth that Grace is bringing around a suitcase of sex toys to schools, realising you've slept with your new partner's brother, the stress of keeping a secret, coping when your partner's mental health issues are affecting your sex life, thinking about your needs while also being empathetic towards your partner, the stigma around putting ourselves first and setting boundaries as women, having less cruel break-ups, the resentment and anger that can simmer under people-pleasing, why we need government-funded rage rooms...and lots more! As Grace flagged in the intro to this ep, there are some references to mental health and depression. You can contact Samaritans for support on 116 123 or click on this link to see details for various mental health services on the HSE website. There is also a brief mention of a type of emotional abuse - you can use the services above or also contact Women's Aid at www.womensaid.ie or on 1800 341 900 and Men's Aid at www.mensaid.ie or on 01 554 3811.
