Let’s Talk About Sex Advice (Part 1)

I've heard a lot of bad sex advice, some which can be incredibly damaging psychologically and physically.

After my posts on dating and relationships, it’s finally time to talk about sex. I cringe every time someone else peddles any of the following ideas about sex.

Everybody at the Beach Has a Beach Body

Ignore the sexist marketing of "beach bodies." Take your body to the beach. You have a beach body!

My Bikini Has Nothing to Do with You

My bikini has nothing to do with you #modesty

This week, I’m in North Myrtle Beach with my parents, brothers, and sister-in-law. Dan was here for the weekend, but he had to return to Duluth. I packed light for the trip. A few sundresses, jeans, a skirt, shorts, and an assortment of tees and tanks. Oh, and three bikinis. Being in the Myrtle Beach area… [Read More]

Feminism 101: Rape Culture

Rape culture is a problem in America. But before we can address it, we need to know exactly what it is. This post explains what is and is NOT rape culture, examples of rape culture, and what we can do about it.

TW: gendered and homophobic slurs, discussion of sexual assault/rape There is seriously SO much confusion about what is (and is not) rape culture. Due to this, some people act like it’s just something feminists made up. Misandry is totally real, y’all. Or not. What rape culture is NOT Rape culture does not mean that feminists think… [Read More]

That is Not a Priority for Me

How one simple phrase has transformed my life professionally, personally, and online.

A few weeks ago, my mom invited me to attend the Women’s Leadership Upstate Conference in Greenwood, SC (aka my hometown). Eager to spend a weekend with my parents, and excited at the prospect of professional development, I readily agreed. Yes, it meant leaving Suwanee at 6:15am on a Friday morning to fight rush hour… [Read More]
