Love In Brief

It is so hard to say goodbye to someone you love, whether it is due to a breakup, a change in living situations, a broken friendship, or a death. And how we deal with grief and loss can deeply intersect with our self-care, our sense of intimacy, and our kink life.

On this episode, RY talks one-on-one with Mako, the co-creator and co-host of The Big Little Podcast, about loss and grief, and how we can move through and move forward.

SHOW NOTES--

This week on LIB we are exploring the world of BDSM Dungeons, talking about what they are, what to expect from them, and how ABDL folks can go and enjoy some dungeony fun (and even organize your own ABDL events there)!

Join @TeddyBearWithMe (FL/IG) and I and our guests @Sincerely_Ripley (FL/IG) and LoveSlave (@denversanctuary - FL) as we talk about the fun and kinky frivolity of the Dungeon scene. Can't wait for your thoughts and experiences with YOUR local dungeons as well!

This is one we have wanted to do ever since CAPCon this year... a deeper dive into PET PLAY & ABDL!

@LolaAndThenSome (FL) has been really excited to journey into Pet Play territory, and she suggested we invite @pupscoutpony (FL) and @mschievousmouse (FL) on as they were amazing at CAP. And of course, they were amazing here as well!

Here are some of the products they mention in the podcast

On this quick-hit bonus episode, we talk to James Frost, the new ABDL Marketing Channel Director for NorthShore Care Supply, a new-to-world (as far as we know) role... yup, a medical/Nilla diaper company hired an ABDL Ambassador!

We talk about the role, the goals, and what ABDL folks mean to NorthShore.

On this long-form episode of Love In Brief, RY is delighted to introduce three brand new voices to LIB, and to focus on a community we don't talk enough about on the podcast: gay men in ABDL!

Of course, there are WORLDS of different experiences and topics to cover in that community, we wanted to bring a few to kick off PRIDE month!

This episode features some fantastic relationship stories, personal triumphs and losses, and killer advice and wisdom from our three guests -- @LittleTim55 (FL), @bunnyboyjoey (IG), and @puprootbeer (IG). It's a fabulous and heartwarming episode (and at times more than a little bit super adorable)!
