It's time for Java with Julie, a production of authentic intimacy, a ministry passionate about reclaiming God's design for emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy.

Your host is psychologist and author, Dr. Julie Slattery. If you've heard the Java with Julie program before, you know that we say it like it is.

We tackle the tough issues that rarely seem to be addressed, and we say it like it is. We tackle the tough issues that rarely

seem to be addressed, and we do it in a respectful, God-honoring way. Today is no exception.

Julie and her guests, Kathy Cordell, a life coach, writer and speaker, specializing in female

We'll also be hearing from an OBGYN later in the program.

Today's discussion is only suitable for mature audiences.
