Cody had a wife who was fully on board, agreements in place, and an open relationship by design…and still got his heart broken wide open.

This week, Cody joins me and Rose to talk about what ethical non-monogamy actually looks like inside a marriage, what happens when you fall in love with someone outside of it, and the part of polyamory nobody prepares you for: the grief.

TBH I almost didn't record this one. But Rose showed up, I sat down, and somewhere between wedding catering prices and a very chaotic DIY photoshoot, we ended up having one of the realest conversations I've had all year. This one's for anyone who's happy but exhausted… and doesn't know how to explain that to people.

This week the listeners came through with the kind of stories that make you stop mid text and just stare at the wall for a second. We got into lying, birthday disappointments, and what it really looks like when your partner shuts down instead of showing up tbh

A listener named “Mary” wrote in because her best friend is about to walk down the aisle and she genuinely does not think this woman should be marrying that man. The spark is gone, the sex is nonexistent, they fight constantly, and Mary is stuck at the bachelorette party holding all of this in like a ticking time bomb.

This week, Rose and I unpack the kind of friendship drama that will have you texting your group chat immediately: do you tell your friend she might be settling, or do you let her make her own choices and be there no matter what?

It’s a KEEKZ takeover. For once, I’m the one in the hot seat.

Keekz took over the mic and asked me the questions no one’s ever asked me on the show before. So we switched roles and got into the episodes that broke me, the guests who changed me, the advice I regret giving, and the unexpected friendships I built along the way.

She's been with her man for 6 YEARS! No ring, no proposal, and now they're about to move in together. Should she keep being patient or demand the commitment she deserves? We read a listener's email and give three WILDLY different takes on marriage, moving in before engagement, and whether love alone is enough.

I’m back with another throwback rerun while we’re on break and this one is a CLASSIC 😭 In “Eat The Groceries” (2018), I’m joined by Jafra, and we get into the art of ass eating, anal prep, sexual frustration, fantasies, roleplay, and why being a little wild and curious is basically self care. It’s unfiltered, chaotic, and way too funny. Enjoy the nostalgia  and I’ll be back with new episodes in February!!
