  • Mary Alice Hostetter Is The Only Gay Mennonite Woman in the Room Episode 156

    What if all your peers were crushing on each other, but you never even thought about romance until you were in your twenties?

    Author Mary Alice Hostetter grew up in a Mennonite family in Lancaster Pennsylvania and attributed her lack of interest in dating to the fact that “mister right” just hadn’t come along yet.

    But what would you do if when you were finally struck by cupids arrow, it was a woman and not a man that you were attracted to? Would you suppress your feelings fearing what your parents and eleven brothers and sisters might say? Or would you decide to pursue a romance with the one you wanted?

  • Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey Is The Only One Talking About Infidelity in Polyamorous Relationships Episode 155

    Imagine that people in polyamorous relationships come to you for counseling after they’ve been betrayed by their partners.

    Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey, Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity therapist, defines cheating as breaking an agreement with your partner, whether it be physical or emotional.

    So what would you do if you’d discovered that there was a formula to help people rebuild trust in their relationship after cheating? Would you keep it between you and your clients? Or would you write a book, start a podcast and share your knowledge with the world?

  • Dr. Carder Stout Is The Only One Whose Drug Dealer Got Him Sober Episode 154

    Imagine that your drug addiction has taken everything from you, your friends, your family, your apartment, and all you’ve got left is your trusty Ford Taurus.

    Depth psychologist and author, Dr. Carder Stout, was circling the drain when he received an offer that would not only give him cash in his pocket, but would also give him free drugs.

    So what would you do if the job was driving for a well-known drug dealer? Would you decide it was too dangerous and tell him, “no thank you?” Or would you take the job and change your life in the most unexpected way?

  • SUNDAY EDITION: Abbie Romanul Is The Only One Who Stopped Drinking But Still Wants A Cocktail

    Today we're talking to Abbie Romanul, founder of Raising the Bar, a zero-proof cocktail experience. Raising the Bar delivers innovative ingredients to make incredible alcohol-free drinks at home. When Abbie quit drinking alcohol, she was frustrated with the lack of grown-up, alcohol-free beverage options beyond soda and lime - thus, the concept for Raising the Bar was born. Raising the Bar is for the sober, sober-curious, mindful drinkers and anyone interested in taking a break for any reason.
