In our final episode of Season 3, Grace Alice is joined by the ever-colourful and insightful Taryn De Vere, a multidisciplinary artist, performer, writer, speaker and parent of five. Taryn shares what it was like getting open, no-nonsense sex education in Australia, and then the major culture shock she felt moving to Ireland in the late '90s. Grace and Taryn explore how to educate kids without shame, why it’s so important to use real words for our bodies, and how those early conversations about consent and pleasure can set everyone up for healthier, happier relationships. The discussion also covers how gender and neurodiversity fit into all of this, why being present in our sexual experiences can be so incredibly powerful (it can even make you feel a bit high!), and how Irish people, in particular, might need a little nudge to ask for what they want in and out of bed. Taryn is a fascinating person who is not afraid to live life outside of societal norms (they have married their husband 7 times now!), and was the perfect guest to wrap up this season of the G Spot with honesty, positivity...and plenty of colour.

Welcome back to The G Spot! In this episode, host Grace Alice is joined by the bright and brilliant comedian and actor Justine Stafford for a no-holds-barred conversation about growing up in rural Ireland, surviving Catholic guilt, and learning about sex the hard way (sometimes with the help of a €1.69 vibrator, a can of Coke and an air freshener). Grace and Justine unravel the impact of shame and stigma on sexual development as young women, get angry about labia-shaming, and tackle listener dilemmas about sex toys, body image, nasty comments from sexual partners and reclaiming sexual pleasure. Justine didn't just bring lots of laughter to this chat (which had Grace reaching for her inhaler at one point) but also very generously got vulnerable and shared some of her own tricky experiences. This episode serves to remind us that there’s no such thing as “normal” and that pleasure and exploration belong to everyone—no matter if you grew up in a city or in the shticks!
