Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey joins host Marcela Alonso on the Get Schooled podcast for “From Closet to Kink: Owning Your Authentic Sex Life with Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey,” tracing the experiences that shaped her career and her belief that sexual authenticity begins with knowing what genuinely fits.
Bisbey recounts how she entered the field, the work occupying her now and what she hopes to pursue next, while examining how people can separate genuine desire from the expectations handed to them. The conversation also makes room for kink, self-knowledge and the freedom to make deliberate choices without inherited shame.
“Marcela created such a warm, curious space for a real conversation,” said Bisbey. “I enjoyed looking back at the experiences that shaped my work and discussing why it matters for people to understand what they genuinely want instead of simply following the model they were given. That awareness makes it easier to choose what actually works.”
Drawing on her lived experience and more than 30 years as a clinical psychologist, accredited advanced GSRD therapist and sex/intimacy coach, Bisbey gives listeners a direct look at the person behind the practice and the perspective informing her work today.
The Get Schooled podcast episode “From Closet to Kink: Owning Your Authentic Sex Life with Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey” is available now on quality platforms such as Apple Podcasts, iHeart, Spotify and Podchaser.
