(#23) INTIMACY with Nicole Mathieson

Dr Kirsty Seward

Today is a very special episode as I have my first podcast guest – Nicole Mathieson.

Nicole has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her writing, speaking, podcasts and work as a counselor. In the therapy room, Nicole helps clients connect more deeply, find more freedom to be truly themselves, and feel more intimacy with their partner, with other humans and most of all with themselves.

By sharing her own awkward stories and negative self-talk, Nicole inspires a deep exhale of recognition from her clients and readers alike, who, for possibly the first time, realise they are not alone, not crazy and absolutely not inadequate. The Beauty Load is Nicole’s first book and I highly recommend every woman who feels the pressure of the beauty ideals to read it.
In this episode we dive into...

• What is intimacy?
• Why are we so scared of intimacy?
• How do we hide ourselves from intimacy?
• How does shame and judgement hold us back from intimacy?
• What does intimacy within our-self look like?
• Why it’s important to get curious about who you are and what you love about yourself?
• What are some practices we can integrate to build intimacy within our-self?
• How developing intimacy within helps us call in the relationships and friendships we desire
• What is 'self love'?

In the Beauty Load, counsellor Nicole Mathieson exposes the damaging and unrealistic beauty pressures society places on women, and shares how to lighten the load for good through awareness, self-compassion and a realignment with your deepest values. Reclaim your freedom, confidence and self-love. To buy Nicole's book 'The Beauty Load' click here
