THE SOLO
 If there’s one thing the A30 community loves to hear about, it’s relationships and sex. It’s something we don’t talk much about publicly, but it’s a big part of our lives. K+L remove the filter (as if there was one) and delve into messy, honest, real stories while answering your questions on love, sex,  relationships, all the things.
 We also talk about:
  Road head anxiety (LOL)
 Breaking out of negative relationship patterns
 Having sex with a new partner
 Handling money in your relationship
 Getting your partner to go to therapy
