“I’m learning that to be a whole person and a happier person, I need to have conversations that are challenging all the time. Almost daily.”
Join me and Tina Hewelt on a listening retreat. In this episode of the WHYLD podcast, I talk about cuddling, being an intimacy professional and so much more:
- What professional cuddling is and why it is valuable work
- How cuddling events can teach you about boundary setting and navigating difficult situations
- Why having an intimacy coordinator professional on set is an important asset in keeping actors and actresses safe throughout intimate scenes
So go take a walk, chop some veggies or color in your coloring book. We’ll keep you company with this beautiful conversation:
