This week on Broke Girl Therapy, I'm joined by the incredible Nadege from Pleasure Science! If you’re not already obsessed with her, Nadege is a Sex Scholar who studied at UC Berkeley and has dedicated her work to helping people reconnect with their pleasure and sexuality in empowering, trauma-informed ways.

In this episode, we dive into a listener’s email about struggling with libido, something I’ve personally dealt with, too. What started as an advice segment turned into a deeper, more intimate conversation about desire, healing, and the cultural conditioning that affects our relationship with sex. Nadege brings both wisdom and warmth, breaking down complex ideas with compassion and clarity. I'm so grateful for this conversation and everything I learned from her.

A few weeks ago, I was a guest on my friend Calinnah’s brand new podcast Cozy with Calinnah. She actually interviewed me about my journey creating BROKE GIRL THERAPY, content creation, and just my career path in general. You may remember Calinnah, she’s been on the pod before. She’s a singer-songwriter by night and a nurse by day, which I know a lot of us can relate to: chasing our dreams while still trying to pay the bills. That’s exactly what her podcast is about, hearing stories from all kinds of artists and creatives.

Feel free to check out Cozy with Calinnah for more amazing stories, but for now, enjoy this episode where she interviews me. I’ll have all her links in the description. And as always, if you love BGT, leave a review, give us 5 stars, and spread da love!

This week, Rose is back and honestly, I just needed her energy. The day we recorded, I was deep in a funk. Not the kind where I needed to vent or unpack my feelings. I just needed a friend. Someone who makes me laugh and reminds me I’m not alone.

This episode didn’t have a set topic or direction. It was two best friends vibing, catching up, and simply being. Sometimes, that’s the most healing thing you can do. Just exist with someone who gets you.

If you’ve ever had one of those days where you didn’t want to talk about your feelings but just wanted to feel better, this one’s for you.

Tune in for laughter, love, and real friendship energy.

This week’s guest is the hilarious and wildly talented Brittany Brave. She's a comedian, actress, writer, host, and the voice behind the podcast Big Yikes. She’s also bringing back her other show Violently Funny.

Brittany came over with one thing on her mind…a guy she went on a date with and can’t stop thinking about. So naturally, as friends do, even new ones, we drafted the text together. That quickly turned into a full-on spiral and led to a deep conversation about anxious attachment styles and how hard it is to be vulnerable in today's dating culture.

Just a quick trigger warning, we do talk about domestic violence in this episode. While there are tons of laughs and jokes, we also get real about some heavy stuff.

If you like this episode, give us five stars, leave a review, and share it with your friends. Make sure to subscribe and follow for more content about dating, sex, relationships, and honestly, me and my besties just trying to figure it all out.

Rose and Rachel are back on the pod! It has been a minute since I’ve had them on together, so you already know the vibes were 100 percent. I was super sick and low on energy while recording this one, so I’m especially grateful to them for carrying the episode with their honesty, warmth, and humor.

We read a listener's email that, of course, sparked a deeper conversation about toxic exes. Rachel has shared bits and pieces of her past before, but this time she opened up. Hearing her reflect from a place of healing and self-awareness was powerful. She can hold space for the pain, even the parts she may never fully understand, with compassion and grace. That kind of growth is so honorable to witness.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussions of domestic abuse, so please take care of yourself while listening. Your mental health always comes first.

And although the topic might sound heavy, this episode still had so much fun, laughter, and joy. The energy between all of us is something I’m really proud to share. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve mentioned Nina on the podcast a bunch of times, but I know a lot of you are probably like, “Wait… who da hell is Nina??” So let me introduce you.

From the moment I met Nina, I was drawn to her. She has such a big heart and this naturally kind spirit that made me want to keep good people like her in my life. So I made it a mission to make her my friend.

Fast forward to 2016, I witnessed Nina go through one of the most life-changing experiences: becoming a mom. But her journey into motherhood wasn’t traditional. She didn’t have nine months to prepare. Instead, she quite literally had a baby dropped off at her doorstep and became a mother at just 24 years old.

Watching her step into that role with so much grace and strength has been incredibly inspiring. Even if most of us can’t fully relate to her exact situation, her story makes you stop and ask yourself, "Would I be able to do that?" It pushes you to reflect on how you'd handle something so unexpected, especially at such a young age.

After hearing the last episode with Rachel, Bryan felt it was important to come on the podcast and share his perspective. As with any story or disagreement, there’s always another side and deeper context behind why people say or do certain things. At the end of the day, the heart of Broke Girl Therapy is about creating a safe space for everyone to express themselves,  even if that someone is my boyfriend, who wanted the chance to tell his side of the story.

The three of us are back together!! It’s been way too long since I’ve hung out with both Cami and Niki. On this episode, we dive into what it’s been like for them to take that next big step, moving in with their significant others. We also unpack how their relationship with sex and self-confidence has evolved since being single.

I have this theory: your confidence can shift when you're in a relationship. When we were single, we often looked outward for validation, but in a relationship, you have to relearn where your confidence comes from. It’s all about finding that spark again and getting your sexy back.

You know that feeling when you just vibe with a coworker and think, "Yeah, I could definitely hang out with you"? That’s Aisha for me, lol. This was actually the first time we made real plans to hang out outside of work. We hadn’t had the chance yet to really sit down, talk about life, and get to know each other beyond the day to day.

From what I’ve seen, Aisha is strong, self-aware, and determined. But I can’t help but wonder, who is she underneath that tough exterior?

Usually, when someone carries themselves with that kind of strength, it’s because they’ve been through their share of heartbreak and hardship. Underneath it all, there’s often a softness, shaped by everything they've survived and a heart that's learned to protect itself.
