Melody Thomas on Good Sex, Better Relationships and Google Doc Marriages

from Kiwi Yarns · host rova | Brodie Kane Media

Journalist, podcaster and Pop Sock Media co-founder Melody Thomas joins me for a big, honest conversation about sex, relationships, burnout, business and what it means to be human. From launching an independent media company during COVID to creating the award-winning The Good Sex Project, Melody shares how burnout reshaped her life, why radical rest matters, and what she's learnt after years of talking to New Zealanders about intimacy, shame and communication. We dive into the realities of growing up in the '90s, the gaps in sex education, the rise of the manosphere, loneliness, feminism, ageing, marriage, motherhood, friendship and why talking openly about sex can genuinely change our lives. A funny, thoughtful and deeply human yarn about connection, curiosity and creating a kinder world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
