Just a Dash

How do we hold space for both ending a chapter and stepping into a new beginning? For the final episode of the show, my favorite co-creator Jonathan Paul Martinez (JP) joins me for a heartfelt celebration of life, growth, and shared history. 

We dive deep into career shifts, regulating our energy through life's unpredictable moments, and honoring the mentors who shaped us.  Together, we look back on the conversations that made this season so special—touching on everything from concert culture and pop nostalgia to pet motherhood and redefining our relationship to mortality.  

How do our closest friends become  the ultimate safe space for our souls?   
My favorite trio-mates, Samara Berger and Camille Wilson help me unpack radical acceptance, adult boundaries, and the joy of finding your people as you grow and mature.  

Plug in and explore how our friendships and support systems provide a healthy baseline for navigating all the chapters of life. 

How does a simple meal become the ultimate anchor? This week, chef to the masses (and my former neighbor!) Nico Torres joins me in the kitchen. We’re talking identity, intentionality, and the radical act of feeding yourself on your own terms.

 Plus, we dive into concept-based cooking, navigating dietary constraints, and finding boundless creative freedom inside a tiny New York kitchen. 

Hot topics continues, but be warned...there are major spoilers in this one!! 

We get into the shows that raised us, a very honest review of The Drama (8:47 - 30:30), moral dilemmas and what honesty actually looks like in relationships. Leading to the #1 hot topic for millennials…what are we consuming, and how is it consuming us?

It's Part One of Hot Topics! And honestly? It's giving 101.5 FM's 80's, 90's and today. JP returns to the mic and leads us through our favorite friendship past time: discussing hot topics. 

We explore pop culture through the lens of our adolescent influences and current parasocial dynamics, discuss the the highs and lows of classics being live-actioned, share a couple of reviews (if you've not seen Wicked, Part 2...skip through), and end up sashaying to the hottest topics of all. Listen and enjoy, sweet peas! 

Faith isn’t always a fixed thing. In this episode, multidimensional artist Avery Youma joins me to explore queerness, spirituality, and the ongoing process of becoming. We get into belief systems, the courage it takes to question them, and the quiet, often tender work of redefining faith on your own terms — with touches of divine femininity and plantcestry along the way. This one is an invitation to find what truly aligns. 

If it isn’t obvious…the boys are lonely. In this episode, Beatrice Oshodi, your new favorite Gemini who serves range (I'm talking engineering to astrology), joins me to explore masculinity, emotional homes, and the contradictions —power and tenderness, silence and expression—that shape male loneliness and connection.

Surprise! Just a Dash is back. In this bonus episode, my best friend and co-producer JP flips the mic and interviews me about the hiatus, what’s changed, and why it felt like the right time to return. A little reflection, a lot of honesty, and a proper reintroduction before we dive back in. You ready? 

Names help us feel like we belong within our communities, and more importantly, within ourselves. So what happens if that's not the case? What happens when our names make us feel alienated or out of place? And what happens when we reclaim them in effort to feel more at home within our bodies?

Guess who's backkk?  Get a refresher on your host, Dash and a taste of Season 2's new flavors, courtesy of surprise questions asked by my guest co-host, JP Martinez. Catch ya on the airwaves sweet peas!
