In this episode, I get schhhvitzy with Mel, my spirit guide and fellow witch-sista. We (well, mostly me) crank the sauna a little too high, but still manage a fairly robust discussion about being in the sorts of connections where your worlds revolve around completely different things ie. your world around theirs, and theirs around… the surf? We ruminate on the concept of rejection as a symbol, procrastination when it comes to sitting down to work on your own personal projects, feeling drained versus feeling invigorated by someone else’s company and our experiences with open relationships.
We also round out the convo with a healthy bit back and forth on blow jobs. (Sue me.)
Off the record, Melanie has been an ear to me as I have contemplated the many cosmic sex and relationship jokes I’ve found myself the butt of. She is a lover of all things connection, has background in art therapy, is (in her own words) in a deep romance with plants and poetry and is currently studying herbal medicine.
Losing My Cool w/ Paige Leacey is a podcast about trying to stay warm in a world full of people acting too cool. It delves into the world of sex, love, lust, heartache, relationships and meltdowns of all shapes and sizes. This poddy doesn't seek to answer the big questions about romantic connection, but to normalise talking about 'em. All eps have been recorded inside an infrared sauna.
