In this episode, Carmen and Mel will break down the relationship between love and sexuality, how Carmen navigates the two in her relationship, and how both feelings can evolve within a relationship.

The ultimate media slashy, PR exec/content creator/marketing and social media manager/all-around style icon Carmen Azzopardi has fostered an online community that’s all about being unapologetically yourself. Being the resident ‘PR fairy’ for Dypsnea, Azzopardi always encourages her audience to feel their sexiest. But what does that journey look like?

They’ll tackle these questions, plus anything else that pops up that is relevant to the conversation: 

• How can you separate the love you feel from others from the love you feel for yourself?
• Is it harder to maintain or navigate a relationship if you don’t love yourself? If so, why?
• What role does self-compassion play in self-love, and how does it affect your interactions and connections with your partner?
• How can you strike a balance between loving yourself and prioritizing your partner's needs in a relationship?
