EPISODE 4.1
A new chapter of Let’s Talk About Sex, Really begins with author Lisa Cheek, joining Dr. Alisa Kriegel for the first in a new series of conversations with special guests.
Lisa is the author of Sit, Cinderella, Sit and The Big Day, two memoirs exploring very different chapters of her life — from being told at 45 that she had aged out of her career as a Hollywood film editor and unexpectedly finding herself working in China, to getting married for the first time at 49 and looking back at the relationships, family dynamics and experiences that shaped the woman she had become.
In this warm and candid conversation, Alisa and Lisa talk about aging and identity, the pressure women feel to follow a prescribed timeline, dating and marriage, the expectations we bring into relationships, and what can change when we finally become comfortable enough in our own skin to know what — and who — is right for us.
They also explore the unexpected experiences that can change the way we see ourselves and others, why relationships can teach us so much about who we are, and the freedom that comes from letting go of the checklist and choosing qualities like kindness, safety and being genuinely loved for who you are.
Ultimately, it’s a conversation about continuing to grow — at every age — and embracing life as an adventure while becoming more fully ourselves along the way.
