5. Sexual Assault Is a Community Issue: Shifting Narratives & Supporting Survivors18.04.2025 (01:23:41)

   “Sexual Assault is not an individual issue, it is a community & political issue”. In this episode of And How Does That Make You Feel?™, we’re joined by the powerful and purposeful Jimanekia Eborn, a Trauma Media Consultant, Comprehensive Sex Educator, and founder of Tending the Garden, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual trauma from marginalized communities. Together, we explore the larger truth that sexual violence is not just an individual experience—it’s a public health crisis, a community issue, and a deeply political problem that demands a systemic response. Jimanekia shares her own journey into this work and invites us to think beyond traditional frameworks of harm and healing. We discuss how our institutions—from healthcare to media—often perpetuate harm and fail survivors, and how we as individuals and communities can shift the conversation from silence to accountability, from shame to empowerment.Throughout the episode, we reflect on what it means to create safer environments, not just for survivors, but for everyone. Jimanekia offers grounding techniques for navigating triggers, strategies for building intentional community, and insight into why healing is not a linear path but a collective one. We also delve into the importance of intersectionality, recognizing how race, gender, sexuality, and systemic barriers shape survivor experiences and access to support.This episode is not about shock value—it’s about deep truth-telling, radical compassion, and the real work of cultural change. If you’ve ever wondered how we can move toward a world where survivors feel seen, supported, and safe, this conversation is a powerful place to start. If you are a Survivor, we hope this conversation is affirming, uplifting, & a lighthouse in moments that can feel dark.If this conversation resonates with you, please like, subscribe, and share it with others who care about healing, advocacy, and justice.

6. You Don’t Have to Orgasm: Rethinking Sex & Deeper Connections13.02.2025 (01:33:03)

   This one’s for my dry-hump fans.In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Teresa Johnson, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, to explore sex beyond traditional definitions and to challenge the narratives we’ve been taught. From giving us permission to enjoy the journey and not worry about the destination to topics covering asexuality, porn, and self exploration— Dr. Johnson fills every moment with invaluable nuggets of insight. First, we discuss what sex truly is—not just as a physical act but as an experience deeply connected to our mental, emotional, and relational being. Dr. Johnson expands our understanding of sex, beyond penetration or oral, offering a broader, more inclusive perspective on intimacy and connection.We explore sex within relationships where Dr. Johnson introduces the concept of sexual discrepancies—the differences in desire and sexual needs between partners. She explains how these discrepancies manifest, the strain they can place on relationships, and, most importantly, how couples can & do navigate them in a way that fosters understanding rather than frustration. Stepping back to examine the larger cultural landscape, we also discuss the orgasm gap and the inequities that persist in sexual pleasure, particularly for Women. We break down how porn has shaped unrealistic expectations, especially for cis-men, distorting perceptions of what women actually enjoy. We explore how these misconceptions contribute to unsatisfying sexual experiences and why unlearning them is crucial for more fulfilling connections.For the first time ever, we close the episode with audience Q&A, giving listeners the chance to hear expert advice on their most pressing questions. If you’ve ever wanted to rethink sex, intimacy, and pleasure in a way that actually serves you, this episode will leave you with a fresh perspective and the tools to build more meaningful connections.🔔 Subscribe for more raw, insightful conversations on healing, relationships, and self-discovery!Chapters:5:10 Dr. Teresa Johnson’s Story12:27 Redefining Sex17:28 Sex & Its Meaning To Humans20:20 Sexual Discrepancies25:00 Body Health & Sex27:46 Asexuality31:16 Desire Differences Between Men & Women48:30 Navigating Desire Differences: Sensate Practice55:01 The Orgasm Gap59:37 Porn in Sex Education1:07:05 Reframing Our Society’s View On Sex1:16:02 Audience Q&A1:31:33 Connect with Dr. Teresa_______________________▶ Self-Paced Online Courses to Enhance Sexual Intimacy:(Use Code 'stori20' for 20% off): https://www.drteresajohnson.com/courses_______________________▶ Connect with guest Dr. Teresa Johnson, PLLCWebsite: https://www.drteresajohnson.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresa-johnson-phd/_______________________▶ Resources Mentioned:OMGyeshttps://www.omgyes.com/Dipsea audio eroticahttps://www.dipseastories.com/_______________________▶ To become a sponsor of the AHDTMYF? podcast or for business inquiries, email business@storidaniel.com_______________________▶Use hashtag #AHDTMYF on all social media channels to join the conversation!_______________________▶ Connect with Stori & AHDTMYF?

7. Your Internal Compass: Following The Body to Healing with NET13.11.2024 (01:26:31)

   "Your body is always looking out for you." In this episode of And How Does That Make You Feel?™, we venture into the transformative world of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) with Dr. Kim Makoi, DC, PhD, a leading expert in this body-based approach to resolving emotional stress. NET is grounded in fascinating science and research, which Dr. Makoi shares with us, covering everything from its origins and the guiding beliefs behind this practice, to its impact on mental and physical well-being.  As you listen, you may be shocked to discover how trauma and stress are stored in our tissues, often passed down through generations, and how these trapped emotions affect not only our physical health but also our mindset, behaviors, and even our success in areas like work or personal relationships.  A major highlight of our conversation is the dissection of the “Deep Brain," also known the Reptilian Brain, just one of our three brains that have lead some neuroscientists to believe we have very little free will at all. Dr. Makoi explains how NET surpasses our conscious brain, and taps into this deep cognition, uncovering and clearing any stressors that have manifested physically, emotionally, and mentally. To lead us out, Dr. Makoi provides a live demonstration of an NET session, allowing you to see firsthand what the process looks like as he guides me through the steps of uncovering and addressing resistance.  If you're curious about the intersection of emotional health, the body, and the subconscious mind, this episode offers invaluable insights.  In this episode, we discuss: 5:07 Dr. Kim’s Journey Towards Neuro Emotional Technique 17:46 The Reptilian Brain 22:50 Trauma Being Passed Down Through Generations 23:39 Becoming Aware Of Our “Deep Brain” 31:36 Who Could Benefit From N.E.T 35:47 Good Sex S.E.C.S 42:17 What is Neuro Emotional Technique 53:00 What Does An N.E.T Session Look Like 1:00:00 N.E.T Demonstration 1:10:27 Research Behind Neuro Emotional Technique 1:13:19 The F.A.S.T Method 1:20:07 How Does That Make Dr. Kim Feel? and… 1:24:45 A Special Surprise For You, My Audience! _______________________ ▶ T-SHIRT GIVEAWAY!!! | Entries and T&C: ⁠https://gleam.io/wgPoJ/and-how-does-that-make-you-feel-tee-giveaway⁠ _______________________ ▶ Find a certified NET Practitioner near you, or, learn about where to take NET training: ⁠https://www.netmindbody.com/⁠ _______________________ ▶ Connect with guest Dr. Kim Makoi, DC, PhD Website: ⁠www.drkimsf.com⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmakoi/⁠ Youtube: ⁠http://www.youtube.com/@drkim94102⁠ Sign up for Daily, Simple Health Tips: ⁠https://drkimsf.com/dailynugget⁠  Book | “The Issues Are In The Tissues”: ⁠https://amzn.to/4fcKxGW⁠ _______________________ ▶ Extra Resources & Goodies: Instructions on how to do FAST: ⁠https://www.firstaidstresstool.com/⁠ Grey’s Anatomy NET episode (Season 15 episode 22 "Head Over High Heels”) | Dr. Makoi’s Reaction Video:  ⁠https://youtu.be/xPIY4ICR7qc⁠ “Stressed” (NET documentary) on YouTube: ⁠https://youtu.be/ahU2FP_b9OQ?si=oTK9Iek1zTzZZze6⁠ Guest Book Recommendation | “My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies”: ⁠https://amzn.to/3YGJVUG⁠ _______________________ ▶ To become a sponsor of the AHDTMYF? podcast or for business inquiries, email business@storidaniel.com _______________________ ▶Use hashtag #AHDTMYF on all social media channels to join the conversation! _______________________ ▶ Connect with Stori & AHDTMYF?

8. Understanding ADHD with Dr. Gina: Symptoms, Stigmas, & Functions19.09.2024 (01:20:18)

   “But doesn’t everyone have a little ADHD?” Whether you’re the person who has had this thought or the person who recoils at the utterance of this statement, this discussion with Dr. Gina, adult psychiatrist, will give you new insight on the intricate functions of ADHD. In this episode, Dr. Gina & I explore ADHD in-depth: what it is, how it works, how it can manifest, and why it often gets misunderstood. Together we tackle not only the myths & stigmas surrounding ADHD, but of mental healthcare. Dr. Gina courageously shares her personal experience of being neurodiverse, from childhood into adulthood having navigated her own ADHD until being diagnosed in her mid 30s. As a psychiatrist, she addresses some common fears about seeking psychiatric care, explaining in her practice, it’s about more than just medication. Dr. Gina demystifies the mental health treatment process and emphasizes the importance of normalizing therapy and psychiatric care. In this powerful conversation, we also explore the intersection of faith and mental health, and how Dr. Gina navigates these conversations in faith-based communities, particularly within the Black community. Join us as we redefine ADHD, psychiatric care, and what mental health treatment looks like in real life—beyond the stereotypes.
