Episode 042 - (Self-Discovery) Shame, Desire, and Being Human with Hart's Desire - Mandy Hart - 12-17-25

Mandy Hart shares her journey from curious kid to sexologist, exploring how sexuality, trauma, and a STI diagnosis shaped her self‑perception and passion for real sexual health education. She and the host talk about making taboo topics safe to discuss, understanding your body, and why men and women struggle to seek help. The conversation dives into inner child work, breathwork, body awareness, and vulnerability as tools for processing trauma and building safety within yourself. They close by unpacking how intimacy goes far beyond sex, why boundaries matter, and how self‑reflection and hard choices drive real personal growth.Please visit Mandy's site at:https://harts-desire.com/https://www.instagram.com/harts.desire.coaching/https://www.reddit.com/user/Excellent_Nothing_86/Visit my podcast and children's book site(s) at:⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/FYIIAD/⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Interview Booking Calendar (Tell Your Story!)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Children's Book Publisher Store Page⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠Children's Book Amazon Page⁠⁠⁠ Adelante, Siempre, por tu Mente / Forward, Always, for your Mind Love & Strength,Oscar Luna, Creator/HostFYI - I Am Damaged PodcastAuthor of Logan: The Strong-Minded Little Elephant  Social Media: ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠Podcast Available On: ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ | (Or Search Your Favorite Podcast Service) Content Creation CreditIntro music by: ⁠⁠⁠Willy Benz⁠⁠⁠ | Recorded/Edited on: ⁠⁠⁠Riverside.fm⁠⁠⁠ | Guesting Platform: ⁠⁠⁠PodMatch⁠⁠⁠Intro/Outro Narrator: William via ⁠⁠⁠Envato⁠⁠⁠ | Final Episode Production: ⁠⁠⁠Canva⁠⁠#sexuality #trauma #selfdiscovery #sexualhealtheducation #vulnerability #innerchild #mentalhealth #healing #relationships #communication #lifechallenges #intimacy #self-reflection #breathwork #bodyawareness #emotionalhealing #relationships #boundaries #personalgrowth
