“Welcome to Melinda Chats—where we dive deep into the many layers of intimacy. From personal relationships to professional insights, we’re exploring how sexuality and connection evolve over the lifespan. Each episode, we’ll chat with experts, storytellers, and diverse humans about what intimacy really means—emotionally, physically, and beyond. No topic is off-limits, and every conversation is a chance to redefine what intimacy looks like for you. Let’s get into it!”
Much Respect,
Melinda

Just a quick note: this show is for education and conversation. It isn’t therapy, and it’s not a substitute for therapy. Sometimes I’ll have therapists and other professionals on the show, but this still isn’t personal clinical care. If you need support, please reach out to a licensed professional in your area. And if you’re in crisis or there’s an emergency, contact your local emergency services right away.
