  • Lube, Lube and more Lube
    Jun 11 2026

    In this episode, Andrea breaks down the myths around lubrication — because using lube isn’t a sign of a problem, it’s a sign of confidence and care.


    We cover:

    • Why natural lubrication varies (and that’s normal)
    • The best types of lube — and which to avoid
    • How to use lube safely with toys and condoms
    • Why flavoured and warming lubes can cause more harm than heat
    • Why communication about comfort is the sexiest thing you can do

    Because great sex isn’t just about passion — it’s about preparation.

  • Attachment Theory
    Jun 5 2026

    In this episode of Conversations We Need To Have, Andrea explores Attachment Theory and how our earliest relationships can influence the way we connect, communicate, and cope in adult relationships.

    From constantly seeking reassurance to pulling away when things feel too close, attachment patterns often show up in ways we don't immediately recognise. This episode breaks down the four main attachment styles, how they affect our relationships, and what we can do to build more secure connections.

    Safer Sex Is Still Sexy


    In this episode, Andrea breaks down the myths, excuses, and outdated attitudes around condoms — and reminds us that protection is not up for negotiation.


    Its important because STI rates are rising and condom use is at an all-time low.

    Great sex is about communication, care, and consent — not risk.
