Rachel joins us on da pod and we read listener emails and give advice as three reformed Catholics. The emails take us from moving in with a partner before marriage and how to navigate it when you are Christian, your partner is atheist, and your parents are stressed. Then we spiral into proposal talk, Catholic flashbacks, confession secrets, ghosts, and why men love to talk a big game and do absolutely nothing. Plus, “Aries” is back with an update on a divorced high school ex, long distance lust, and where the line is between fun curiosity and a nervous system crash.

Ann from the We Signed an NDA podcast is here and we talk about way more than pop culture. We briefly touch the Vanderpump world, then we get real about Asian American identity, family trauma, bipolar disorder, learning boundaries as an adult, dating in LA post pandemic, sexuality, and how humor can be a survival tool. This episode is equal parts hilarious and healing and it felt like meeting a soul friend for the first time!!

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr. Molly Burrets to unpack why so many of us keep ending up in the same relationship with a different face. We talk about how our childhoods quietly shape who we are drawn to, why those intense butterflies can actually be anxiety, and what it really looks like to hit rock bottom in love and choose differently.

We also get into attachment styles, people pleasing, abandonment wounds, hyper independence, and how all of this shows up in our friendships, our romantic lives, and even how we think about becoming parents one day. If you have ever questioned your patterns, minimized your own experience, or struggled to find closure, this one is going to sit in your chest in the best way.

In this state of the world, politics is such a heavy topic. We are not here to debate policies or convince anyone where to stand. Instead, this episode is about how politics has become the thing that cracks open old wounds in my family, and maybe yours too.

As I try to navigate the political differences in my family and in the world, I am also navigating what it means to finally face the family trauma I have avoided for years. If you have ever felt caught in the middle of loving your people and questioning their beliefs, this one is for you.

We’re getting a little scholarly about sex and connection!!!!

We sit down with Nadege, also known as Pleasure Science, a sex scholar who breaks down the science behind how we flirt, love, and connect. We brought her on because, honestly, I have no idea what my flirting style even is. Am I playful? Sincere? Shy? All of the above?

We also dive deep into asexuality and demisexuality, two identities that are often misunderstood. Before I go around calling myself demisexual, I wanted to actually educate myself on what that means, and who better to help me unpack it than a sex scholar herself?

So tune in to find out what my real flirting style is, if I can officially call myself a demisexual, and maybe even discover what your flirting style is. Do you resonate with being demisexual or asexual? Let’s find out together!!!
