In part two of our series on the hardest times in our lives and how we have found our way out of them, RY and Lola pick up with Bradly (FL/Tumblr) and Elektra (Tumblr/FL) to talk about how they found their way back out of the dark spaces and into a new kind of life.

This second half of our discussion looks at real, practical paradigm-shifts and next-steps that can be taken when you realize something needs to change, and how to move forward and rebuild after losing the life you knew. We hope for those in a tough spot, this episode gives you both some hope and practical advice on how you can find your own way out. And for those who haven't hit those times, we hope this advice sticks with you in case you find yourself needing to bounce back.

Mentioned in this ep:

Many of us have had a time in life where we have hit rock-bottom: unexpected life-changes have hit, major life plans haven't worked out, relationships have failed, or we needed to escape an impossible situation with nothing. In those moments where we have bottomed-out, first we needed to survive... and then we needed to find a way back up.

In this two-part series, RY and Lola talk with Bradly (FL/Tumblr) and Elektra (Tumblr/FL) about those times where we have hit our absolute lowest point, including what got us there, the truths we needed to tell ourselves, and how we knew it was time for a change (and not the fun kind, the really hard kind). In the next episode, we'll look at how we each found our way out and through to bounce back stronger than ever!

If you have been through a rock-bottom, we hope you find a little of your own story in these stories, and we hope this discussion helps you feel seen. And in the next episode, we hope it even helps you begin to find your way out!

It's that time of year again, RY's favorite episode of the year EVERY year: the New Year's Celebration! This year's question was "what are ways in 2025 you took steps toward loving yourself and your ABDL kink more?"... and boy oh boy did the ABDL community respond!

This episode features YOUR voices and stories as RY and Lola and Teddy read and listen to how YOU took positive steps toward self-love, self-acceptance, and building relationship and community this year. It feels like payday, and we had more responses than ever this year by a landslide!

We hope you relish this long-form celebration, and return to it on the days you feel disheartened or stuck with your ABDL kink. It turns out, there are steps you can take to move forward, and even to fall in love with yourself and your kink.

Ho ho ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's RY Clause here, sneaking down your chimney to drop one little extra present under your tree -- it's a Winter Question Round-Up!

On this episode of LIB, RY and Lola tackle questions about:

Boy, that sounds like a lot when you put it that way, doesn't it? But we are leaning on our years of experience talking to others in the community and learning from their expertise, so we promise to get right to it and get you home before Christmas dinner.

This episode also comes with a heaping side of *special ask of YOU, the LIB listener* as we prepare for our NYE episode. (Hint hint - we want YOU on the podcast, which is coming out New Year's Day, so jump on it!) Thanks in advance for your help, we can't wait to have you join our New Year's celebration!

It's Summer Blow-Out Time, and our deals have gotten CRAZY!

On this Question Round-Up we cover not our usual six... not seven... but EIGHT questions from you, our listeners! (I figured if I put it in caps it looks more impressive...) We talk about how to do 24/7 when you work in an office, how to experience little space *without* diapers, how to respond to your partner's disgust with your fetish, how to set up a scene, and even the origin story on Lola's "Messy Monday" posts. All that and more, *and* a beautiful testimonial from a listener on the impact of community and self-acceptance on their life.

Have you ever wondered what a Nappy Nipper is?? Have you always felt a dull, aching longing in your soul for whatever terrycloth toweling is? Did you ever put on a disposable diaper and think, "that was waaaaaay too easy?" If so, you may be ready to try cloth diapers!

On this episode of Love in Brief, RY and Lola talk with @ExecBaby (FL) and Liv (@NewbornABDL on IG / babygirlandmommy496 on Tumblr) about all things cloth diapers-- how they work, tips and tricks for using them, and why a big chunk of ABDLs are hopelessly devoted to these awesome diapers.

Here are some of the items and videos referenced in today's episode!

You know how sometimes you really really want to play diapers and play kink and do all sorts of nasty, unseemly things to yourself and/or your partner(s)? And then, kind of inexplicably, a few days or weeks later you could kind of care less about kink or ABDL play?

It's easy to get down or hard on ourselves during the times when our kink drive or sex drive wanes, and today's discussion, RY and Teddy talk with Bonsai_Baby (FL/IG) and Blinkxz (FL) about why our kink can ebb and flow, and what to do when that happens. (Hint-- love yourself well, and cut yourself some slack!)
