c & A Podcast

Today's guest, Ms. Heauxly (pronounced holy), from the Heauxly Coitus Podcast does not hold back on what it is to be living out her "hoe" phase and we aren't mad. We get the honor of hearing her story of growing up evangelical, staying a virgin until 32, leaving religion, and living out her "hoe" phase. She talks about negative impacts of purity culture, navigating a multi-partner sex life, creating boundaries with partners, talking in tongues while doing the deed, and micro "eggplants". That's just a portion of what this episode encompasses. We are pretty confident that even if you don't choose the lifestyle for yourself that you will enjoy this all-in girl talk.

Another hot Mormon topic we didn't know we needed to know. Kathleen gives us a great explanation of why it is important to Mormons to baptize their ancestors and loved ones who have died. We go into detail of who does the baptisms, where it's done, and how it is done. This is a short and sweet episode so sit back and enjoy.

Who likes a fun time talking about sex with the girls? This is just that with sex coach, Lauren Samantha, of OhYeahCoaching. We cover topics like teaching our kids about their bodies and age appropriate education on sex and bodies, what sex coaching is, why it's important, who it benefits, and what to expect during a coaching session. This episode is not intended for children.

This is a fun one, everyone! We sat down with Reverand Sarah Thornhill, a United Methodist pastor, and it was a blast! Fun fact: we actually first met Sarah at a Pride festival, so that gives you an idea of the kind of pastor she is! We discuss her religious journey, her affirming attitude, and some of the reactions she's received as a progressive female pastor in the Bible belt. You don't want to miss it!

Bless it, we have yet another interesting Mormon topic. IDK if all our listeners are like Aubrie where every time we come together to learn something new we have a moment of "wtf" or what but this one is less intense but for sure a "wtf" moment. Temple Marriages and Sealing Ceremonies are described by Kathleen as the desert course: sweet, in theory. We do talk for 17 minutes about current events in our lives so if you are sensitive to our Mormon topics section of our show do know that we have some good stuff before and if you don't feel comfortable listening to the rest you can turn it off. We mean no disrespect to those who practice Mormonism unless, you're a jerkface.

Welcome back to Book Club! This week, we sat down with Marla Taviano again, to talk about her newest book, Jaded! If you liked Unbelieve, then you'll love Jaded, the second book in Marla's series of poems about her life, faith, and deconstruction process. She delves deeper into her feelings about Christianity, racism, ableism, and even abortion! You don't want to miss it!

Ever wonder what goes on at the temple? There is a thing called an Endowment Ceremony that Kathleen walks us through the different concepts of what that means. Before we dive into that fun we hear from Aubrie about the women's conference she attended and how that went. Kathleen had some feelings about how that works and we ended up putting a whole 10 minutes of that at the end of the episode for those of you that want to hear it. It's a literal riot, we talk about Stacy Eldridge's Captivating Core retreat, being romanced by God, and going on a date with God. The whole time Kathleen is expressing her feelings about it, and we found ourselves laughing way too hard. Enjoy

Ok, you know when you hear about something and the person who is telling it is trustworthy and wouldn't lie about what they are talking about but the thing they are talking about is so wacky you have to pull in another source who knows just as much about it to confirm the insanity you just heard? That is what this episode is!

Kathleen's husband sits in the room with us to help give insight to the topic of Mormon tithing and the breaking headline. You don't get to hear his voice but he's like an advisor throughout the episode. It's super interesting for those of us that don't know much about Mormonism to hear how the LDS do tithing and how they have handled the tithing. 

We hope you find today's episode informative. If you are part of the LDS and find yourself defensive when people talk against the Mormon Church then we encourage you to listen but if that's too much for you feel free to check out our other episodes. We mean well and don't want to cause harsh feelings to be stirred up. 

Next week we will be posting another Book Club with the words largest Atheist Podcast host, Seth Andrews. He was an absolute joy to have on the show and we are so excited to finally drop the episode.
