Episode Details

Today I’m joined by Lindsay Goldwert. Lindsay is a writer and soon to be certified sex educator who has written for the New York Times, New York Magazine, Fast Company, Marketwatch and more. Her newsletter DearStar69 is “for passionate people with curious minds and a never-ending desire to learn more about themselves, in and out of the bedroom,” as she puts it. 

She’s also the author of two books, Bow Down: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Be a Boss in Life, Love and Work (2020), and her latest bestseller, The Midlife Plot Twist: How to Reboot Your Life Without Burning It Down Even If You Really, Really Want To coauthored with Gabrielle Moss. It just came out in September.

We get into why we’re all doing so much self-censoring on the internet these days, honing the skill of confident communication (even if it means embracing conflict), and how her own midlife plot twist meant dropping everything to do stand-up comedy and learning to get comfortable with uncomfortable moments.
