Naked Truths + Resiliency with Tash Doherty (Part 2)
Manage episode 480066919 series 3526517
What happens when we finally give ourselves permission to explore the parts of ourselves we've been taught to hide? This episode takes us on a journey through vulnerability, creative expression, and the liberation that comes from embracing our full selves.
Our guest shares her path from writing teen romance fiction to creating educational content about sexuality. Her novel "These Perfectly Careless Things" follows a 15-year-old artist in London, capturing intimate feminine experiences often absent from literature. Meanwhile, her "Miseducated" podcast and blog have evolved from sharing birth control stories to interviewing femtech innovators solving problems around menopause, breast pumps, and sexual wellness.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as she recounts hosting a naked party during university years—a surprisingly wholesome experience where friends painted landscapes on each other's bodies.
Most compelling is her mission "to help the world be shamelessly sexy" through three components: helping people identify what they want sexually, believe they deserve it, and learn to ask for it. Her upcoming projects—a sex journaling toolkit, anonymous surveys about sexual practices, and consulting work—all connect to this core purpose.
Despite her prestigious Wharton education that could have led to a lucrative corporate career, she chose a path that feels alive and meaningful. "Don't go to your grave with your stories inside of you," she advises listeners. This episode invites us all to consider what parts of ourselves we might be suppressing, and what could happen if we brought our full, authentic selves into every aspect of our lives.
