The Body Confidence Course
Stop avoiding mirrors, positions and conversations... and turn down the noise, so you can get back to enjoying sex.
Body confidence issues will affect all of us at some point in our lives. And while they can have a huge impact on sex, dating & relationships, the good news is there's actually a lot you can do.
In this free course, two experienced professionals share their insights and tools to help you become more comfortable and present in your body - in and out of the bedroom.

Welcome to the course
Rashida and Georgia break down what to expect in this course, and discuss the foundations of body confidence, different therapeutic tools, and how it’s all connected to pleasure.
The 'what' and 'why' behind this course
This is optional viewing for those who want to go a little deeper a.k.a. therapy nerds, this one's for you! Rashida & Georgia take a closer look at how practitioners define body confidence, and examine the many cultural influences that shape how we perceive our bodies.
Episode One: How we think about our bodies
In this episode, Rashida and Georgia examine how and why your thoughts impact body confidence. They look at the difference between 'body positivity' and 'body neutrality', cover a few key therapeutic tools, and explain how to apply them to feel more connected to your body.
Episode Two: How we feel about our bodies
Our emotional experience is directly related to how confident we feel in our bodies. In this episode, Rashida and Georgia address why many people get stuck in a cycle of feeling bad about their body, and how 'body checking' can affect your sexual and non-sexual experiences. They also explore how to realign your values and feel better during sex.
Episode Three: How we think and feel about our genitals
In this episode, Georgia and Rashida look at common concerns people have about their genitals, what influences misconceptions about what genitals ‘should’ look like, and how this can affect your sexual experiences. They’ll also teach you how to break the avoidance cycle, how to feel more confident being naked and more present.
Perspectives on confidence from our community
We’ve all had different experiences with body confidence, but at some point it’s really common to not feel great about your body. We invited the community and friends of Normal to share their experiences. We laughed, cried and cried-laughed filming with them - and we’re so goddamn lucky to have learnt so much from them!
