Most people talk about sex, relationships, and marriage in fragments. This conversation does it honestly without filters, shame, or pretending. From first love to long-term relationships, from divorce to dating again, this episode explores how identity, desire, and confidence evolve over time. It’s about learning your body, your boundaries, and your voice, often much later than we expect. Sex education doesn’t prepare us for real life. Neither does marriage. ---------------------------- We’re living in the messy middle where people are questioning old rules, unlearning taboos, and trying to raise children with more honesty than previous generations were given. ---------------------------- Over time, the questions change: -Does body count actually matter? -Why is pleasure still such a difficult topic? -How do you talk to children about sex without fear? -What does dating look like after divorce? -Why do we learn so much about relationships too late? ---------------------------- Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction & opening conversation 01:11 – Laura’s career journey 02:16 – Balancing public life and privacy 03:29 – Marriage, divorce & public scrutiny 04:27 – Keeping relationships private 05:25 – Parenting in the public eye 06:22 – Kids growing up on TV sets 07:30 – Childhood, adoption & family honesty 09:09 – Learning openness from parents 10:48 – Divorce & changing relationships 11:58 – Marriage as a contract 13:11 – All-girls school experience 15:30 – Body confidence & teenage years 16:18 – First love & early relationships 18:55 – Talking about sex openly 20:18 – Parenting conversations on sex 22:44 – Sex education in schools 26:44 – Career, pregnancy & motherhood 29:16 – Returning to work after birth 32:01 – Taking risks as a mother 39:16 – Health challenges & mindset 41:08 – Learning to fly planes 43:24 – Dating stories & modern dating 47:15 – Relationships & body count 52:23 – Unwanted advances & industry safety 55:03 – Sexual regrets & self-growth 57:23 – Co-parenting after divorce 59:41 – Parenting boys vs girls 01:01:05 – Views on marriage today 01:03:04 – Advice on sex, divorce & relationships 01:06:08 – Closing & farewell ---------------------------- This isn’t about shock value. It’s about clarity, growth, and self-acceptance. ---------------------------- So we explored: -Sex education vs real experience -Dating and desire after long relationships -Motherhood, body image, and confidence -Divorce without shame -Raising children with honesty and boundaries ---------------------------- The hard truth: Most of us figure life out after we’re told we should already know.

In this funny and deeply moving episode of Under the Sheets with Tatiana Ashborn, I sit down with The Gavin Sisters, Sharon and Loretta, to talk honestly about love, loss, sisterhood, and rebuilding life from scratch. The sisters share their very real dating disasters, from ankle-tag confessions to painfully awkward first kisses, alongside heavier moments like divorce, being left while pregnant, and navigating single motherhood. They explain how moving in together became a natural decision, raising their children as one family while supporting each other through illness, burnout, and major life changes. Sharon opens up about living with a severe autoimmune disease and how stress, sobriety, and a plant-based lifestyle slowly helped her recover. Together, they talk about stepping away from dating apps, choosing peace over pressure, and finding fulfilment through friendship, purpose, comedy, and their wellness retreats. ------------------------------------------- This isn’t about perfect relationships or fairy-tale love. It’s about honesty, boundaries, and choosing peace over chaos. You may find some of these issues troubling. Viewer discretion advised.

Together, we dive into the “Love, Lust, Learn” theory, why consent must be taught and reinforced, and the ways silence around “no” can ripple into adulthood.

Lauren speaks with such bravery about the moments that broke her, the red flags she missed, and the fight to trust herself again all whilst having two gorgeous children.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of unexpected entrepreneurship with Tom, the man who turned lockdown boredom into a booming business—handcrafting branding spanking paddles (yes, literally). What started as making kitchen tops quickly pivoted into the pleasure industry, proving that necessity (or maybe just curiosity) is the mother of invention.

Does sex have to be amazing to make a relationship work? Bum and boob advice from a man who knows his way around both. And, of course, the unforgettable moment: "I’m being eaten alive." Buckle up (or, you know, bend over) for a wild, no-holds-barred conversation about relationships, business, and the fine line between DIY and BDSM.

Imagine sitting down with someone who’s not afraid to spill it all—the highs, the lows, and the downright hilarious. That’s exactly what happened when I interviewed Harrison, and trust me, this is a conversation you’ll never forget. Harrison opened up about battling with tics and how they’ve shaped his life, sharing the struggles of dealing with confidence and finding ways to own who he is. But it didn’t stop there. Things got real, funny, and a little wild as we dived into moments that feel too outrageous to be true - 'the one with the toe' From dipping toes into topics like body confidence and that awkward first time, to the time he posted his nude of his Instagram story by mistake (yep, really), nothing was off the table. He even talked about trying to lasting less in a Primark changing room, cringe-worthy chat-up lines, and that moment on a plane that left everyone wide-eyed. And, of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” and a bold confession about having sex in a hair salon. This isn’t just an interview—it’s a journey through life’s awkward, honest, and laugh-out-loud moments, with stories that’ll make you think, cringe, and maybe even relate. Come along for the ride.

It’s raw, funny, and absolutely unforgettable—just like Franki herself or should I say ’Unpredictable, Rough & Slightly Salty’If you’re ready for the perfect mix of jaw-dropping industry stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and some very candid advice, and a furry visitor, hit play now.
