Gratitude Embodied

“The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.” – Dalai Lama
I once had a friend who for many years taught me volumes about gratitude, while also teaching me quite a bit about my own capacity for envy. At first glance, it may have been her inherited wealthy lifestyle or seemingly effortless marriage, or her devoted relationships with her loving mother and sister… There...
40 Years Later is Still Yesterday

“Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.” Maggie Kuhn
What remains unsaid in us remains alive. It is the trauma that we cannot acknowledge that burrows deeper inward, sapping our ability to trust ourselves as well as our capacity to connect to others. And among the traumas we experience, sexual abuses are one of the most potent in the ways that it imprints on our memory. This is why Beverly...
Zero Tolerance for Sexual Health

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Evelyn Beatrice Hall
Last night I had a book reading for Sex that Works. It was a small gathering as it is really hard to get people out of their cozy homes on a rainy Sundayevening. But inviting people who know me through social media isn’t an option to get the word out either – Facebook’s Zero Tolerance policy...
Game Changing Life

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” Anais Nin
For my birthday this year, the only thing I wished for was a few moments of pure happiness. I wanted, neededto feel the simple joy of being alive and living in a body at this moment. And so I took an impromptu trip to Hawaii with my husband — for as long as I can remember, Hawaii is the only place that I have traveled to that I...

The word is on the street. No one is alone anymore. Millions of women are coming forward acknowledging the burdens of silence they have been carrying around whether from single traumatic events or years of unwanted sexual advances to full on sexual assault and discrimination. Here we are: a force to be reckoned with. And...
The Tip of the Iceberg: Hating Harvey
“Imagine living a life when the only sex you can get is to force yourself on someone who doesn’t want you. That kind of sex is an act of violence, and not only towards the victim…”
Almost all of the interviews that I do these days are about consent, or more aptly the lack of it on college campuses. Reporters often begin these interviews believing that this issue is isolated to our youth, that...
Dismantling the Slippery Slope of Sexual Dysfunction

“Sex is always about emotions. Good sex is about free emotions; bad sex is about blocked emotions.” Deepak Chopra
Here is the sad truth about the sex lives in many long-term partnerships: often it is either the glue that keeps the relationship strong or the thorn in its side, a source of persistent pain and discord. Endless books and articles substantiate both the frequency and damage of the...
Change from the heart
“Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” George Bernard Shaw
The day I met my creative designer, the first question he asked me was: “can you change?” I paused for a moment, not really knowing what he was wanting me to change and said, “yes, I think I can change.” That was the beginning of the Good Clean Love design as it lives today. It is also a moment I often go back to in...
Be brave…

“Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is…” Sara Bareilles
Getting an email today asking me to participate in a collective Carpool Karaoke video (which I didn’t even know was a thing until I got the invite…) so I needed to propose a song to sing. After listening to brief clips of old favorites all the way...
