Dentist and author, Safiya, is celibate and a free spirit at heart. What I thought was going to be purely about sex and celibacy, evolved into a much deeper topic.

We discuss:

• How Safiya choose celibacy. Was she going around having bad sex and gave up?
• Does she date and how it works?
• The difference between choosing it for you vs your beliefs.
• How sex positivity isn’t always helpful.
• Free choice and don’t look to others to validate it
• Marching to your own drum. Take ownership of your feelings, beliefs and body.
• Ask for what you want.
• What is intimacy and are we settling for mediocre sex instead?
• From believing no one could ever love me, to hell yeah, bring on the love!
• Why quirks are the best in love
• Keeping it simple, not wasting energy on things that may never happen.
• Safyia’s take on expectations.
• I reveal why I’m so passionate about health and why I chose it as a business.
