Picture this: You have a book to write, a memoir which contains so much raw truth that you'd rather write a lie instead.

Writer, author, and professor, Kiese Laymon, wrote about the weight: The weight of racism, the weight of obesity, and the weight of sex, gambling, and familial love. And addressed the whole thing to his mother.

But what would you do if publishing your book would mean naming all the secrets you’d spent a lifetime avoiding? Would you put your life on blast and let the whole world in? Or would you take the easier, softer way and write a lie that you could live with?

Trigger Warning: The following episode contains conversations about sexual abuse.

Picture this: You are a child, only eight years old, and because the court won’t allow your parents in with you, you enter a courtroom alone, to testify against the grandfather who molested you.

Kelly Wallace, Writer, memoirist, and co-host of the Zoom reading series, Voices Of Survivors, remembers seeing the bailiff with his gun and thinking, “that’s the man that will take my grandfather away.”

But what would you do if your perpetrator was acquitted and even your own father didn’t believe you? Would you spend the rest of your life hating and resenting men? Or would you create a platform to give people a space to voice their own stories of survival?

What if after twenty-someting years of marriage, when you and your partner were both in your fifties, you would sometimes talk about having sex with other people? 

Myrina and Tristan, hosts of The Accidental Swingers Podcast, had a flirtatious relationship with their friends who lived down the street, but one night it shifted from flirting to kissing.

So what would you do if you and your spouse seemed to be on the same page about wanting to have sex with the couple next door? Would you decide that was crazy at your age and leave the swinging to the younger crowd? Or would you do your research and set up a playdate where you could explore all your fantasies in real life?
