In this episode of Yarning Up, we welcome renowned sexologist and sex educator Lauren French, a Karajarri woman who grew up on Larrakia Country in Darwin.

Lauren is a trailblazer in supporting couples and individuals to free their anxiety around sex to experience deeper connection and pleasure.

Together they explored the impact of colonial narratives on body autonomy and the importance of pleasure as a form of resistance and healing for First Nations people. Lauren shares insights from her own journey, her dedication to decolonising sex education, and the unique strengths and challenges she sees mob face in practice. 

This powerful dialogue invites listeners to reconsider ideas of intimacy, joy, and self-acceptance while embracing a culturally rich, holistic view of body sovereignty.
