  • Becoming Jennie: Reclaiming Her Body, Her Voice, Her Life
    This week, we’re getting real (and a little rebellious) with our guest Jennie — who left the church and an 18-year marriage like it was a bad group chat and never looked back. She takes us through her journey of shedding shame, realizing her body wasn’t just for making casseroles and babies, and figuring out who she actually is outside of religion and marriage.
    We talk about the awkward (and sometimes hilarious) parts of finding yourself sexually after years of repression, the therapy sessions that cracked her wide open, and the people who showed up when she found herself again. Jennie opens up about rebuilding from scratch — with no blueprint, but plenty of courage — and learning to be unapologetically proud of the woman she’s become.
    This episode is raw, funny, honest, and perfect for anyone who's ever had a moment of “WTF am I doing with my life?” and needed to hear, “You’re not alone — and you’ve got this.”
    Most importantly, Jennie shares how she learned to be proud of the woman she is today — stronger, wiser, and finally living life on her own terms. We are so proud of you girl and so happy to have a new woman to add to the friend list!

  • Sex Myths & G Spot Truths
    This week, we’re busting myths and dropping facts—from erectile dysfunction and STIs to the age-old claim that men want sex more than women (uhh, let’s talk about that). We’re calling out the BS and keeping it all the way real.
    Fellas, want to know where the G spot really is? We got you. And yes, we’re spilling the tea on the G spot for men too—because pleasure ain’t one-sided.
    And ladies, let’s talk about the 7 most erogenous zones on a woman’s body that deserve way more attention. (Hint: it’s not just about the obvious spots—think neck, ears, lower back... 👀)
    We go deep into ego, shame, and why asking for help in the bedroom—or the doctor’s office—should never feel embarrassing.
    This episode is sexy, informative, and real AF. So whether you're tryna improve your sex game or just love a good convo, you’ll wanna hit play on this one.
