In this holiday episode, we ask why Halloween leads to the sexualization of professions such as nursing, firefighting, and, most controversial of all– nuns (nunning? nunnery?). Of course, this leads us back to one of our favorite sources; the circles of sexuality. DOWNLOAD here for free. Truth is, Halloween is just one instance of society writing us all a permission slip to dress however we want, so the question really is– what does it look like to give yourself permission to live your life how you actually want to? We encourage you to look at your personal recipe for a good time (ex. Halloween) and apply it to yourself, your dates, & your free time more often. After all, a recipe is only good if you use it.
