RECLAIM with Thais Sky
Thais Sky
RECLAIM is a podcast where I examine, interrogate and reclaim pop psychology, self-help and wellness ideas. There are a lot of ideas out there on how to live your best life. It can be hard to know what conflicting advice to follow. I am Thais Sky and as a psychotherapist, I am here to add context and nuance to the conversation so you can discern what will work best for you in living the life you want. I am sometimes joined by incredible guests who offer a vast array of expertise and wisdom in the realms of psychology, self-development, relationships, money, worthiness, politics, philosophy, entrepreneurship, sex, social justice and more. Welcome!

Ep. 178 Consent Culture with Marcia Baczynski
I am thrilled to have Marcia back on the podcast to talk about the complexities and nuance of consent culture. The caricature we see on the media of consent is often stiff, black and white, and devoid of passion and intimacy. In this episode, Marcia and I talk about how consent culture is really about deepening pleasure and increasing connection. Enjoy!
