How important is vulnerability in an intimate partnership? Simply put, "vulnerability is where the good stuff is." When you are vulnerable with your partner, you give them a chance to choose you. You give your relationship a chance to grow stronger. And you give yourself a chance to heal.

Now this is something I've always "kind-of" known, but after speaking with "The Amazing Clarks," I am 100% advocating for it! Melanie and Anthony Clark are truly amazing, and in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! you will see why.

We talk:

How their coaching business came to be - 1:48

The night they met - 9:13

How my partner and I started dating - 17:46

The importance of vulnerability - 23:51

Characteristics that are vital in a partner - 37:35

And more!

Yup, it's true. Dana was not one of my favorite characters. But I'm expecting that she will have one of my favorite character arcs. In the series, Dana is a millennial. She seems impulsive, clumsy, and maybe even a little arrogant. But she is working through unimaginable circumstances. Who knows if I'd even like myself in that situation.

In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! I talk:

1. Dana's selfishness
2. Olivia's endurance
3. Kevin's naivety
4. Margaret's spitefulness
5. And more!

I am an advocate for reading! I think it's the best way to exercise your brain. I love novels but you can read whatever you want, from magazine articles to podcast transcriptions.

Dana was also an advocate. She read to Rufus. She taught Carrie and Nigel. She stressed the importance of literacy. This is a theme that drove many of the storylines in Kindred, and today I'll mention others that did the same.

In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! I talk:

1. Fate
2. Blood vs. chosen family
3. Creation vs. reality
4. The importance of reading
5. And "good christian generosity"

FX's adaptation of Kindred was not my favorite. Some elements were missing, like scenic shots that showed more of the setting. Others showed up a little too much for me, like this notion of having empathy for white women. Lol. I got real passionate in this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! ya'll!

I talk:

1. Notable elements of the series
2. Details that stood out
3. Things I wish were different
4. And more!

Is the book always better? That's not an easy question to answer. When you read a story, you see it from you point of view, and we tend to add a few details that aren't actually there. Sometimes, we completely ignore or forget details that are. But, when you watch a show or movie, you are seeing it from the creator's pov, and that can clash with yours.

So I don't know if Kindred the novel was better than Kindred the series. But I do know that the creators made some interesting choices and I'm ready to discuss!

In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink! I talk:

1. Differences in characters
2. Dana and Kevin's marital status
3. Dana's mom popping up in the past
4. And more!

If you follow me on social media then you may have saw my pledge for 2023, which is to only read books written by women of color. The purpose of this pledge was to highlight voices that have been suppressed and get insight from my fellow creators. One of the books I read this year was Kindred by Octavia Butler. It was one of my favorite books as a kid, and it is still one of my favorite stories. So when I found out that it had been adapted into a series, I was fired up! I knew I had to review it on the podcast. And, here it is!

In this episode of Podcasting Is the New Kink!, I talk about:

1. Kindred (book and series) details
2. Why I chose to review it on the podcast
3. And, how episodes will be organized for this part
