S2 EPISODE 1: "Depression isn't just wanting to die"
WELCOME TO SEASON TWO OF SHIFTING THE LENS PODCAST! We are so glad you are here!
Depression can come in many forms & the 'less' aggressive forms don't always get talked about. Jill had a realization that maybe, just maybe she has her own form of depression that may not fit the standard definition.
This week, we share. We always share but this week we both share what it looks & feels like to navigate our own versions of depression.
If this episode is heavy, take it in chunks or dont take it at all. Do what you need. We dont not share any of this for any reason other than to share, if you take away nothing that is okay. If you learn something about yourself, that is okay too.
Sending you lots of love.

EPISODE 34: "Is Love Island BDSM real?"
Jill binged season 7 of Love Island USA & on the 'leather & lace' episode, she had some questions that we figured others have too.
Is BDSM on shows accurate?
If you were a true Dom or sub, could you fake being something different for a show?
Could Ethan, as a Dominant, fake being submissive for the sake of getting paid?
As humans who are very much dominant & submissive to our CORE, we wanted to share our thoughts & opinions on how accurate TV BDSM really is.
Join us this week & please share your thoughts with us!

EPISODE 31: "How do I pick what level my partner is?"
When navigating polyamory, many people get stuck on figuring out where a partner 'fits' or how to figure out what 'level' they should be. When we start dating, do we predetermine what we want from a partner? Are there certain things we are looking for in dating?

EPISODE 24: "Do I have to like my partners, partner(s)?"
A few questions came to our DMs so of course, we had to answer!!
The questions were:
"Do I have to have multiple partner to be Polyamorous?"
"Do I have to like/get along with everyone?"
Long answer short, it depends.
Long answer long, it depends on your dynamic with you & your partner(s). It depends on expectations & desires. It depends on the person.
But we do think in order 'to be Poly' there are some things you should be willing to do.
Tune in this week to see what we have to say & the expectations within our dynamic.

EPISODE 21: "The Superbowl halftime show was more than just beef with Drake"
If you watched the Superbowl (or more importantly, the halftime show), then you watched Kendrick make a STATEMENT, that went far deeper than just beef with Drake.
The halftime performance was FILLED with symbolism & messaging about the current state of the USA. We were here for EVERY second of it & this week we discuss it and break down some key moments you may have missed.
PLUS we had a listener question come in:
"How do you meet people? Do you tell them off the bat you are poly or are you looking specifically for poly peeps?"
We answer that before we dive into the Super Bowl!
