Romance is a Kink (Bonus Episode)
Send us a text To close out the summer, I wanted to bring you something lighter—especially after the last episode on grief. I’ve always been a romantic at heart. I want to fall madly in love, but as I grow older and wiser, I’ve learned not to lose myself in it. I see romance as a kink—something I can tap into when I want to feel a certain way in my relationships. It can be an exaggerated fantasy, but like role play, it can open the door to more passion and intimacy. In this episode, I share s...

Grief (Bonus Episode)
Send us a text This bonus episode is a vulnerable one. I wanted to talk about grief—how it’s shaped me, how it lingers, and how I still struggle to face it. I’ve also realized how much I struggle with intimacy, especially when it comes to letting people see that pain. Lorde’s new album hit something in me. It’s messy, honest, and full of feeling—just like grief is. It made me want to stop hiding and start speaking. Grief never really leaves us, but if we let ourselves feel it, maybe it can cr...

Jason - What is Intimacy, Really?
Send us a text In this week’s episode, I chat with Tantra facilitator and sexological bodyworker Jason King. We explore the question: What is intimacy?—especially in the context of sexual connection. Our conversation dives into vulnerability, and how intimacy often requires us to take emotional risks, even when there’s a chance of rejection. Jason shares how many men default to a hyper-masculine approach to sex, and how true intimacy can often feel more soft, open, and even feminine. He talks...

On a lighter note, we also talked about joy—what it looks like, how we access it—and even asked the playful question: “Does Taylor Swift ...

Priscilla Mossy Stone - From Conversion Therapy to Freedom
Send us a text My friend Priscilla Mossy Stone joins me to chat about their story of coming out, going to conversion therapy, and finding their way to drag.

Both of us found that by expressing all parts of ourselves, and finding some inspiration from pop divas, can give us a greater sense of freedom.
