In this powerful episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily sits down with Jeffrey Marsh, the first openly non-binary public figure interviewed on national television, author of "How to Be You," and a Zen-trained meditation teacher who has helped millions embrace self-acceptance. This conversation goes deep into identity, authenticity, and the radical act of loving yourself exactly as you are. Jeffrey shares their journey from childhood feelings of not fitting into traditional gender roles to becoming a leading voice for non-binary visibility and self-compassion. We explore the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation, the importance of using correct pronouns as basic respect, and how Jeffrey's 20+ years of Zen practice has shaped their approach to self-love and helping others break free from shame. This episode addresses the real challenges of coming out, setting boundaries with family, and the courage it takes to live authentically in a world that often demands conformity. Jeffrey offers practical wisdom on moving from self-criticism to self-acceptance, why asking for what you need is essential for healthy relationships, and how their work helps people - especially parents - learn to support LGBTQ+ loved ones. Whether you're exploring your own identity, supporting someone in your life, or simply want to understand how to love yourself more fully, this conversation offers profound insights on breaking free from societal expectations and embracing your authentic self.

0:00.0	Skin care you sip. Here's why I'm hooked. A few months ago, I started sipping Peaks Radiant Skin Duo.
0:07.3	And wow, my skin looked brighter and clearer and more hydrated. And that glow, it's just, it's unreal.
0:14.6	And get this, I didn't change a single product on my shelf. I just added two sachets and the results showed up in my face.
0:21.5	Sun goddess matcha is ceremonial grade. It's packed with antioxidants that help firm,
0:26.8	brighten and support clear skin. And yes, it supports gut health too, which is so tied to how
0:32.0	your skin looks. It's even quadruple toxin screened. Then there's BT Fountain. It's my daily hydration go-toe.
0:39.6	And it smoothed fine lines. It deeply hydrates and gives you that plumped skin glow with zero
0:45.0	sugar or those weird additives, which I just do not like. I drink much in the morning,
0:49.7	BT in the afternoon, and it's just easy, effective, and it truly works from the inside out.
0:55.6	And for limited time for sex with me listeners, Peek is offering 20% off the Radiant Skin Duo,

1:26.0	The reason talking about non-binary is important is because it goes even beyond expression.
1:34.1	It is the deep way that we experience ourselves.
1:38.6	So in other words, it's different than a drag queen, which is someone, there's nothing wrong
1:42.2	with drag queens, but that's someone who
1:44.3	wears things. And that's part of that label is what you wear. Non-binary is much more of a
1:51.0	conception of who you are deep in your soul. So who is Jeffrey deep in their soul?
1:57.6	I wish I knew. You're listening to Sex with Emily.
2:02.5	I'm Dr. Emily, and I'm here to help you prioritize your pleasure and liberate the conversation around sex.
