Finding My Yum

This week we are joined by Kai Wes from MTV's Are You the One - Kai talks to us about everything from growing up in a small town in Rhode Island, to college, through what it was really like in the house! They share what their goals were going into the house, and what it's been like on the other side.

Plus, there's an awesome story about standing up to a bully - you don't want to miss this one! 

In this episode, Geri is joined by our first licensed therapist Dr. Amie Harwick! She talks to us about her journey to becoming a doctor, what it was like to have a very public relationship, and how to handle other people trying to define your identity. Sneak peak - don't let 'em!

Amie is amazing and has such a great personality, you'll love this one, guaranteed. 

This week we take a break from guests and give listeners a look into what's been going on with Geri! It's important to check in from time to time, you know?

The week we are joined by Janis DeLuca, a mentor and guide for women, focused on sexuality. She talks with Geri about how to have a conscious relationship with sexuality, her work with women in the 40-60 age range, and even touches on a few exercises to try! Enjoy!

Today we were blessed to have on Nicoletta and Simone from the Sluts and Scholars podcast! Nicoletta is licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#110256) and Sexologist, while Simone is an actor-turned-law-student that likes to talk about banging. They're both incredibly smart and funny, and talking with them was a delight. 

Listen to hear about how to communicate during sex, why MFT's often times gloss over sex (and why they shouldn't), and how Simone had a run in with the Pope! I mean, maybe. The verdict is out on that one.

Rebroadcasting our fourth episode with a dear friend - this is the one that shaped what Finding My Yum is today. Listen to our friend talk about her journey to discovering what it means to be a unicorn, why saying yes can be fun, and hear our hosts realize what the show should be about - all thanks to her.

We were thrilled to be joined by Steph this week! She talks with Geri about the other side of growing up religious - and what it's like when you feel like there's not a spot in the church for you anymore. Steph shares bravely and openly about her journey accepting her bisexuality, how she has handled external pressures, and how to steam up a car in high school - all while keeping your promise ring. (Spoiler alert: it's by doing a lot of talking)

This episode is great, y'all! Today we are joined by Danny Prikazsky (MTV's Are You The One) and we hear a from a perspective we haven't really before - someone with a pretty open and progressive upbringing. Danny explores how labels can be a positive thing, what a small college in Ohio does to celebrate and educate Safer Sex, and how his experience on Are You The One served as an opportunity for personal growth.

I also want to draw attention to a charity that Danny is raising money for - Trans Lifeline. It's a great organization that exists to provide a support hotline to trans people across the country, as well as financial support for those in need of microgrants. Donate at the link below!

This week we are thrilled to have on actor, producer, writer, and all around lovely man Nate Leykam! We were so excited to get a perspective from someone who grew up - and still is - religious. He shared very openly with us about what it was like to deal with teenage urges, shame, how that lead to him questioning religion, and how he made it to the other side. 

This week we are joined by Molly - who puts the M in Masochism - and we learn about what it's like growing up with kinky desires, how to learn to play in a safe way, and how those interests can shift as you learn more about the scene. Molly is great, open, vulnerable and charming - you're going to love listening to her!
