Welcome to Cuppa 36.5 of 40. In this episode of the 40 for Tea, host Rachel Allan has a heartfelt and profound conversation with world-renowned activist, peacemaker, and author, Satish Kumar.  With over half a century of activism, Satish is a beacon of hope, drawing from his profound interactions with figures like Pope Francis and Martin Luther King to inspire global change.

Satish recounts his poignant journey delivering peace tea to global leaders, advocating for mindfulness, unity, and heart-led communication in times of adversity. He shares anecdotes of bridging divides with a cup of tea, a powerful conversation and connection with nature, advocating for patience and trust in the tireless pursuit of justice.

As co-founder of Schumacher College, Satish talks of regenerative practices and sustainable living, grounding his teachings in the belief that the economy should enhance human and planetary well-being, not exploit it. He reframes HR from Human Resources to Human Relationships. Painting a compelling portrait of an economy that celebrates human relationships and operates within the ecological "doughnut."

We delve into Satish's guiding principles – soil, soul, and society – and how we must nurture each dimension to foster environmental and spiritual connectivity. With coherent and compassionate wisdom, Satish champions love as the metaphysical gravity that holds our universe together.

We celebrate the power of love, optimism, and the courage to transform not just our external world, but our inner landscapes as well. 

This is not just an episode; it's an invitation to pause, reflect, and join us on a journey to uncover what truly matters.

In this episode, you are going to learn how to have better sex. You have an appointment with a leading sex expert, Dr. Emily Morse. I will be the first to admit that I want to have better sex, but I don’t know how to achieve it.

And I’m asking all the uncomfortable questions you want to ask.

This conversation is going to make you think differently about this topic and inspire you to prioritize pleasure and connection in bed, no matter your age, relationship status, or gender.

And if you are saying, “This doesn’t apply to me,” or as my friend just said, “I’m in way worse than a drought! At this point, I’m a born-again virgin."

No, you’re not. And this episode is for you too, because our expert says improving your solo sex life is the first step.

You may not want your little ones to listen because, when it comes to confessions about sex, I'm going first.

Dr. Emily claims that everything you have been taught or observed about sex is WRONG.

Wait. WHAT??...

Dr. Emily is insightful, and this conversation is hilarious and actionable.

• The 3 unexpected ways you are killing your sex drive.
• How to get out of your head when you’re in bed.
• Why meditation and sex might be the combo you need to orgasm.
• You are NOT alone if you cannot orgasm from penetration.
• How to tell time with your vulva (yes, it is a thing).

• Why skipping foreplay is ruining your chance of having great sex.
• The 5 ways your self-awareness ignites hot and steamy sex.
• Let’s stop faking orgasms. Know the four steps to how you can really get there.

Grab your mirrors and vibrators, and leave your inhibitions and embarrassment at the door. And according to our expert, it’s amazing foreplay to talk about sex. So why don't you and your partner listen to this together? You’ll thank me later.

Maybe we’ll call these sex episodes “Listen and Lube”?
