Episode 54
The One About Healing Through Orgasm
Meet Betsy B. Murphy
Betsy Murphy is the author of the popular book Autobiography of an Orgasm. The UK Sunday Times calls the book "Part erotica, part refreshingly sincere for the orgasmically challenged....sort-of an anti-Fifty Shades of Grey." Betsy's book has evolved into a solo show called "The O Diary" where she takes the audience on a rollercoaster of discovery. She's telling her story but along the way, we realise it's a part of all of our stories. The show is getting rave reviews as gutsy and life-changing storytelling.
