Author of Cutting Apples (Querencia Press) and international s*x worker Jomé Rain stops by the pod to share her perspective on the world's oldest profession, giving herself the grace she's willing to give other people, having cool parents, and the crime of adding grenadine to champagne in Paris.

Jomé has lived in New York City, London, and Paris, and has published poetry via Dream Boy Book Club in addition to her book "Cutting Apples".

We go into the stigmas and double standards surrounding s*x work, the power of neutrality to equalize a false narrative of oppression, and how criminalization can do more harm than good to professionals in this industry.

She also shares her "inextinguishable optimism" and Caitlin would like to bum a dose of that.

Check out her work!

Continuing the previous episode's thoughts on healing through the physical vehicle, this is a short dive into how you can reclaim intuitive movement to feel more present and connected to your environment and let go of trauma stored in the body.

In this episode Caitlin Dee talks about surrendering to spirit vs using spirituality to control outcomes, how to navigate service to others vs service to self as an over-giver, no being a whole sentence, and how and when to rest.

In brief:

Returning to the podcast with a crossover episode with Thee Eric Wynn, my co-host on Goth Yearbook.

We finally get to do a deep-dive on Eric's ten year recovery from drugs and alcohol, how he ended up in rehab to begin with, and what keeps his recovery going today.

Plus I share about my own relationship with addiction, spiritual perspective on recovery, and we discuss the pros and cons of AA.

If you are struggling with addiction please don't hesitate to reach out for help! Talk to someone you trust, a therapist, or send Eric a DM @gothyearbook on Instagram.

I reflect on how easy it is to forget that healing is hardcore af and how I recover when my default mental health patterns drag me to the pits of hell.

Listen to my take on soul mates prompted by reading a journal entry from five years ago about how lonely I was and how I time traveled to become my own soul mate.

We're back with the first episode of Season 3! 

In this episode, Caitlin Dee and Neal Lockwood tackle the African root that's commonly known as the most powerful psychedelic in the world, boasting a trip up to 36 hours that can completely eliminate withdrawal symptoms from opioids. 

Join our hosts as they discuss the cultural origins of this plant medicine and how it became an illegal substance in the US despite being the most effective addiction interrupter that could be made available to the masses during an unprecedented opioid epidemic. 

That's hardcore!

Welcome to Part One of our AFTERLIFE series!

We are living in times that have a lot of people feeling scared and vulnerable, so we thought it would be a fun time to talk about what comes after life and see if there's anything to look forward to. 

On this episode, we talk to guest Ally Shaw about her Near Death Experience after she was shot in the abdomen point-blank and pronounced dead, compare Neal's experience smoking DMT to the research scale used to quantify NDE experiences, and discuss the best time to rob a bar. 

Everything about this episode is hardcore, and we hope you find it healing.

COVID-19 has gone viral folks, so we did this special mini episode to clear up some of the misinformation that is out there (some of which we put out ourselves) and give our personal insight into exactly HOW MUCH you should be freaking out. (Hint: don't freak out but don't be ignorant)

One thing is for sure, and it's that Coronavirus is hardcore af.
