Love the Skin You're In!

Sarah started on her nudism journey about a year ago as a way to regain her body autonomy. She was introduced to nudism by a friend and spent the better part of the last year researching nudism to see if it was something she wanted to try. She eventually decided to book her first trip to a nudist resort based upon what she had learned through her research and chose Oaklake Trails because, after listening to our podcast, she felt that Oaklake Trails was the right place to give social nudism a try. This episode was recorded on her very first visit.

In this episode we visit with Alan and Kaelyn, a young couple from Texas. They are followers of the podcast and reached out and asked to share their story with our listeners. They are relatively new to Social Nudity. Their journey to social nudism started, like most of us, at home. Kaelyn, even though she was comfortable being nude at home, was once again the reluctant spouse and took quite a bit of time to gather the courage to give social nudity a try. After several years of Alan’s persistence, she agreed to give it a go and they travelled to Florida on a family vacation and stayed at Cypress Cove in Kissimmee Florida. Within a very short time at Cypress Cove, Kaelyn was wanting to move to the resort! They are raising their 2 young daughters is a body positive nudist home and their family represents the future of family friendly nude recreation. We hope you enjoy listening to their story because we really enjoyed our conversation.

Gary and Brenda are long time nudists and are two of the founding members of Oaklake Trails Naturist Park. In this episode you will hear about their entrance into Nudism starting in the early 1970's and how they became founding members of Oaklake Trails. They share the humble beginnings of Oaklake Trails, the growth and prosperity that hard work and dedication has brought about and some insight about handling the challenges faced by Nudists and clubs moving forward. Gary and Brenda could easily be described as modern day Nudist Pioneers. They are the last of the original founding members of Oaklake Trails. They didn't do it alone, but their vision, dedication, and literal blood sweat and tears laid the foundation that so many amazing and dedicated members and shareholders after them have used to build what we like to refer to as our "Happy Place". Thousands of people have experienced the freedom and benefits of nude recreation at Oaklake Trails because they, along with the other founding members, took a giant leap of faith and created a little slice of heaven on earth. Over the last 5 decades they have served, and continue to serve, on several AANR committees and boards. Our friendship with them is another example of how nudism bridges the generation gap and allows friendships to blossom that otherwise might not happen. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Gary and Brenda.

Yael Lives fulltime at Oaklake Trails Naturist Park with her husband. She Teaches "The Law of Attraction" and calls herself "The Universe Whisperer". Yael brings a perspective to this lifestyle that is as empowering as it is unique. Her perspective and story will resonate with people we probably would never reach, and that is what makes it amazing. As different as we are, Nudism has brought us together and has exposed us to people who we would probably have never interacted with in the “Textile” world and we are better for it.

Stacie is an example of the reluctant spouse/significant other. She went from NOPE NOT HAPPENING! to what she called a "surrender". Their story is similar to many couples we have met and that story is still being written as she has become another example, an example of how to Love the Skin You're In!

Mike and Teri are members of Oaklake Trails Naturist Park and "new" nudists. Teri was VERY reluctant to give social nudity a try.

Teri even retired early from her job so they can transition to living full time at the Park. They share their journey with honesty and sincerity, and a bit of humor as well.
