“Progress comes from people being willing to go into the voids where many avoid.”Is there a middle ground for women to discuss their sexuality and sexual needs outside of the medical or commercialized sex conversations? Not yet, but Paulette Stout is making brave waves to change the narrative. Listen in to hear her story and learn about her book, Love, Only Better. Paulette had a non-traditional upbringing. She was raised by a single father who provided well enough for her, but didn’t know how to talk about sex, sexuality, and appropriate sexual relationships. She went out into the world and simply had to figure it out. As a result, she had a hard time connecting with partners and finding her own pleasure, and she had no forum for voicing her concerns. As she’s grown in her relationship with her husband, she realized that she needed to share her story so she could be a beacon for others going through the same things. That’s where her book comes in. Love, Only Better is highly autobiographical and showcases the journey she’s traveled to find love, pleasure, and acceptance for herself and her needs. Listen as she shares her story, the bravery she had to summon in order to publish her book, and what brave moves she’s making next. If you love, love and romance, this is the episode for you!Links &amp; Resources: Paulette’s Website Ready to start living your life bravely and boldly?

Self-Love and Bravery with Paulette Stout

Paulette took 18 years to finish this novel which deals with a secret rarely discussed in women’s fiction—the pleasure we seek and deserve in the sexual arena. Hear how Paulette’s personal experiences prepared her to tackle this controversial subject matter and how once she did, she put herself through a crash course on self-publishing to make her book a reality.  We also dive deep into a discussion of why it’s so important for your book cover to send the right message to potential readers about your genre —and what can happen when it doesn’t. Paulette Stout is the fearless author of Women’s Fiction tackling taboo topics too long ignored. Her debut, Love, Only Better, is an empowering women's fiction read and bedroom rallying cry for women everywhere. Her follow-up, What We Never Say, is due out November 1, 2022. Raised by a single dad in Manhattan, Paulette is the gold-star wordsmith and owner of her content marketing agency, Media Goddess Inc., where she crafts content for her list of global clients. Prior to MGI, Paulette led content and design teams at several tech companies, and her New York media agency work earned her three industry awards, including a MediaWeek All-Star. You can usually find Paulette rearranging words into pleasing patterns while wearing grammar t-shirts. To learn more about Paulette, click here.
