Show Notes
Grace is joined this week by content creator and host of The Voicenote and Queeriosity...hailing from Ireland's real capital, it’s Pádraig Wilson McCarthy! Pádraig and Grace chat and cackle their way through many different topics, from the lighter to the heavier and plenty in between. They talk about not having a clue about sex when growing up, the pain of watching sex scenes with your parents (Pádraig watched Saltburn with his mam, bless his heart), silly nicknames for our genitals, normalising how different relationship structures suit different people, telling your partner if you're tempted to cheat, making the incredibly difficult decision between staying in your current relationship or pursuing a new one, how having a 'good body' won't make you good at sex, believing partners when they compliment us, body image difficulties in the bedroom, getting out of our heads and into the moment, Beyoncé and Jay-Z...the list goes on. As Grace flagged in the intro to this ep, there are some references to body image difficulties and disordered eating. You can contact Bodywhys for support.

Grace returns with a bittersweet announcement about the show’s future.

In our final episode of Season 3, Grace Alice is joined by the ever-colourful and insightful Taryn De Vere, a multidisciplinary artist, performer, writer, speaker and parent of five. Taryn shares what it was like getting open, no-nonsense sex education in Australia, and then the major culture shock she felt moving to Ireland in the late '90s. Grace and Taryn explore how to educate kids without shame, why it’s so important to use real words for our bodies, and how those early conversations about consent and pleasure can set everyone up for healthier, happier relationships.
