In this episode, we discuss meditation while Mary's cat, Nona, purrs into the microphone. Then, we talk to Austrie Martinez Duarte about coming out, her first love and heartbreak, getting pregnant with the sperm of her partner's coworker while in the military during "Don't Ask Don't Tell," and how she taught her kids about sex.
