Help! I’m Married With Children, But I Think I Am In Love With A Woman
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Listen to this week's episode of Sharing My Truth. Mel and Suzie discuss "a write in". A listener shares their story of being happily married to a man and they have children together, but she has fallen for a woman. Should she follow her head or her heart?
There are lots of big questions here. Mel and Suzie as always see things differently but in the end they do come up with some ideas. How do you tell your husband of many years that you may be bisexual, without completely destroying him?
Are women more sexually fluid that men? Why would you be heterosexual all your life and then fall for women? Are you bisexual, bi-curious, maybe you never had the opportunity to experiment and explore your sexuality? Is it that you are going through something in your life and this women you have strong feelings for is more able to empathize?
There is no "absolute" answer to this. Everyone is different. Every person’s feelings and desires are unique, we are all searching for something different. We all need something different.

The Truth About Voyeurism, Reality TV and Road Head
Wednesday Apr 05, 2023
Wednesday Apr 05, 2023
We live in a voyeuristic world. We use social media to view other people's lives. What is our fascination as a culture at looking from the outside in, but no one knows we are watching?
Watching someone without their consent for sexual arousal is illegal and obviously very creepy. Mel tells a story of a creepy guy who watched and called her in her 20s. It was horrible. But what do we call just being "nosy" and always wanting to see what other people do, eat, say, and where they go?
Do you think our society is obsessed with peeping into other people's lives? Reality TV is surely just that? It's not fiction, it's meant to be real,and we are fascinated.
Social Media platforms have meant we are always people watching. Do you think it's a problem?

The Truth About Monogamy and Polyamory
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Monogamy is a relationship with only one partner at a time. Many modern relationships are still monogamous and arguably it is still the societal norm. Polyamory is the complete reverse. It is a open or non-monogamous relationship that follows certain guidelines.
Although polyamorous relationships are becoming more accepted, we still have a long way to go! There is a huge amount of judgement about anything that is not monogamy. Everyone has an opinion that is often not a positive one.
Mel and Suzie discuss monogamy and polyamory from their different "gen X" and millennial perspectives. Listen to what they think. Although they both agree people should just be aloud to live in the way that makes them happy, Mel thinks that polyamory is complicated. It's different to an open relationship. Having a relationship with one person is hard enough but more than one person at a time in the same relationship, does that work? Sex is one thing, a relationship is a whole other thing.
There is of course no right answer. What works for one person does not for the next. We are all unique in every aspect of our lives.

The Truth About Libido and Lube
Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
In this Episode Mel and Suzie chat about a woman's libido and its ups and downs. How the downs may effect you throughout your life or only at certain specific points. Why do you experience low libido? What causes it, is it normal and can it be fixed? The answer is, it is very common. Most women will experience it in their life due to stress, anxiety, pregnancy, menopause, medical issues, medications and a whole host of other reasons.
Mel and Suzie have an open and honest discussion about low libido and why we don't talk about it. Why do we talk far more about male low libido and take that more seriously? They talk about contraception and how contraception such as the pill or an IUD can affect your hormones.
Women should go to their doctors if low libido is causing them distress. Also only go to a medical professional who is sympathetic and helpful. If they are not go see someone else. You are not damaged as a woman, you are going through change and it is important to understand what is driving your low libido.
Your sex life is a a journey with ups and downs, peaks and troughs. Mel and Suzie talk about how you can get creative with your partner and get into the mood again. Communication is important, patience, creative thinking and of course some lube!

The Truth About The Female Orgasm
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
The truth about the female orgasm. There is still so much mystery around the "big o". Why are we still so confused by it? Mel thinks its because it is more complicated that the male orgasm. What do you think? It is not finite, it does not work in the same way for every woman and every woman needs something different. Most importantly it does not always happen!
For some women "climax" is simple for others it is a lifetime of discovery. It is not a given that it will happen for you. Many women think it has happened but then the real thing happens and everything changes! At different points in your life one thing works and other times it changes. The reality though is that it is a big stress reliever and can have many health benefits including helping with menstrual pain and menopausal symptoms. Why do we still find it so hard to talk about?
If we don't talk about it, it will remain a little shrouded in mystery and not understood. It is an all body experience and women should feel comfortable and happy to chat about it and ask questions.
Join Mel & Suzie this week for their as always hilarious and honest conversation. We are talking more about the female big "o", it is much more normalized, but we still have a long way to go!

The Truth About Being Addicted To Excitement
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
What does it mean to be addicted to excitement? Mel and Suzie discuss what that means. Can you be addicted to excitement, the thrill of something? Or is it just simply that you are bored with your life? Are you escaping the mundane, the fear of, "is this it?!"
One of the Sharing My Truth Listeners shares their story of being married for 26 years and loving her husband but she is having an affair with another man and is addicted to the physical side. Mel and Suzie discuss what the listener should do. Should she carry on the affair, should she tell her husband? How do you admit to an affair? How common is it to have an affair? Is having an affair a choice or is it just a human mistake? Is the thrill, the excitement she is feeling from meeting up with this man selfish? These are questions that don't have simple answers. Life is not that easy!
There are no straight forward answers and the listener really has to think about what they want in life. Also who should they tell? Mel warns her to be careful who she speaks to. Find out what she means by that. Think about it all clearly and do not do anything rash, but lying is never a good answer for Mel. It can change your behaviour.
Suzie is more matter of fact. If your husband does not make you happy then leave. But is it really that simple? When you have been married for 26 years your lives, family and emotions are intertwined. Life has its ups and downs and if you love someone you go the distance and don't give up at the first sign of boredom.
Listen to find out what Mel & Suzie say. Do you agree? What would you do?

The Truth About Pregnancy And Birth
Wednesday Mar 01, 2023
Wednesday Mar 01, 2023
This is the whole truth and nothing but the truth about Mel's experience with her 2 pregnancies and births. What is the hardest part about pregnancy and birth? Pregnancy and birth are different for everyone. We talk about expectations versus reality, which differ considerably! What is it like to have a baby? Mel doesn't sugar coat the pain! Her description is terrifying but hilarious.There are some stories that seem funny now but not at the time! The bathtub almost going through her kitchen ceiling while having contractions with her first pregnancy being one!
Mel had her 2 girls in 2 different countries.The experience of pregnancy and birth was very different in the UK and Switzerland. Suzie asks Mel about the negative, the positive and how she knew what to do. The answer is there is no playbook for having children, you figure it out as you go along. Are there things you can figure out first? Is there a perfect age or time to have a baby? What if you don't want a baby?
Mel shares her truth, the good and the bad. She always wanted children but that does not mean that pregnancy or birth went according to plan. Her first birth was very traumatic, but she had a beautiful baby girl. Mel knows that some women want kids and some don't and she feels that you should not be pressured, you should be able to make that choice. Having a baby is "huge" chapter in your life and will change your life and although you are never really prepared you have to want it.
Suzie and Mel talk about post natal depression and how incredibly hard that is. There is so much guilt and we still don't talk about it enough. If you feel differently to the way you think you should or how society feels you should feel about being a mother, you judge yourself and others judge you!
Mel's children are the light or her life, having children has helped her heal from her own traumatic childhood. She still recognizes that it's hard and not for every woman.

Help! Should I Start Scheduling Sex To Save My Relationship?
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
This episode is about whether you should schedule sex dates with your partner. Does scheduling sex work and can it save your relationship? Does it guarantee quality time, demonstrate commitment and improve communication? Life can get in the way, partners can have mismatched libidos. Scheduling may seem "too" practical for sex, but if you don't there is a danger you are not intimate together and there are many issues tied up with that.
Listen to Suzie and Mel's differing opinions. Mel is perhaps more pratical she has been married a long time. Suzie thinks scheduling sex is not very exciting or spontaneous. Should you put "love making sessions" in the diary?Is it too clinial or is there a half way house to make sure you make time for each other? What works best for a relationship? Mel thinks you can make things sexy and get in the mood, Suzie is not so convinced!
One of our amazing listeners has shared her story with Mel and Suzie, so they share their opinions and encourage you to share more. By talking together we may find an answer. Do Mel & Suzie come to a consensus? As always there is wit, humour, many laughs and few new "Britishisms" from Mel and perhaps a new perspective for the listeners.

The Truth About Toy Boys
Wednesday Feb 15, 2023
Wednesday Feb 15, 2023
In this episode Mel and Suzie discuss the phenomenon of toy boys or is it boy toys? Is it a good idea to have an affair or a relationship with a much younger man? Listen to Mel's view point and why she thinks that. Has she changed her mind over the years?
As always Suzie is open minded. Do what makes you feel good and makes you happy. If you are a woman over 40/50 and you are having a relationship with a younger man, you do you! Enjoy it. You are not hurting anyone or are you? You just want some good d**k!
But Mel does have some practical advice. She talks about her Mum who had a whole slew of toyboys when she was young. How did that shape how she feels? Has she revisted her opinion?
What do you think about toy boys and older women. Would you have a relationship with a much younger man? Is it just about sex or can it be more?
Tune in and find out what they think and why. What do you think?

The Truth About My Toxic Mum
Wednesday Feb 08, 2023
Wednesday Feb 08, 2023
This episode is more serious and very personal. Mel tells us about her toxic mother, about the cruelty and verbal abuse she experienced. She tells us about her mother's mental illness, she is bipolar. How did she survive a narcissistic mother and how is she able to be a good mother herself to her own kids having had such a poor role model.
Just because someone is related to you, it does not give them the right to behave badly. Abuse is abuse it's never allowed. Toxic family relationships are very destructive on many levels. Listen here to Mel and Suzie's honest discussion and Mel sharing her truth and her childhood trauma.
