In the first episode of Feelings Soup, Sam and Elly introduce themselves, discuss the framework they're coming from when talking about emotions, and get into the nitty gritty of hard moments in intimate relationships. How do we find the language to express what we’re feeling instead of throwing it at others, and build safety with people to be able to talk about it? Sam and Elly dive in.

Feelings Soup is a podcast hosted by writers Sam Slupski and Elly Belle, who both primarily write about emotions, mental health, healing, and intimacy. On the show, we stew on and chew on nuanced conversations about feelings, behaviors that arise from our feelings, connection and love, mental health, and intimacy—all through an anti-capitalist, anti-racist lens centering disabled, mentally ill, chronically ill and mad folks. Sam and Elly are interested in exploring ways we can build a better world together, and are using this podcast as one of the many tools in their toolbag to do so. It will be premiering in February 2023.
