Life is full of high highs, low lows and quite a few loop-de-loops. Let's talk about them and attempting to achieve balance (or Nirvana)? Perhaps it's as "easy" as accepting sadness. Also the Freak talks moving away (or maybe it's running away) and moving on. 

TW: Sexual Trauma - The Freak's version of groundhog day looks a lot like getting drunk and forgetting who I've had sex with. I take time in this episode to talk through my experience, as well as unearth the thought of asexuality vs sexual trauma. 

With great sex, comes great expectations, emotions and all the other bullsh*t of modern dating. The Freak is joined by Meg Reynolds from Not the Girl Next Door to talk about modern dating, post-romanticism, expectations and more. 

The Freak wrote a poetry chapbook. Ahead of its release on February 13th, 2022 (also her 24th birthday), Thistlemilk Press's Shasha Léonard joins the podcast to talk about the creation of Muted Pink and the themes within it. 

Is creating original art possible? The age-old discussion of inspiration vs stealing and just a lil bit of jealousy. The Freak discusses all of this and more with her friend Harrison Kratzer, designer extraordinaire. His online zine oopsihadabrainhemorrhage.com releases 2/12/22, find out more and follow along by checking his Instagram @harrisonkratzer. 

Life is messy. The only ways the Freak has found to minimize damage is by prioritizing, communicating and using a god damn calendar. Oh also - let's catch up with the therapist that ghosted and hear what I learned from her this week. 

Back from hiatus, the Freak catches up on love life, career and everything in between. Here's to 2022 and here's to three years of the podcast! Now let's get freaky.
