You may have first seen them on Showtime's Polyamory: Married & Dating in 2012, but what the show didn't show views was their work in activism, writing, and big plans to change the world.  10+ years later, and Vanessa has a charcuterie board of work to show and resources to offer the queer and sex work communities.  Join the convo to hear them talk about their Death Doula business, their two completed books, and their self defense classes they offer geared towards LGBTQ folk and sex workers.  My goal with this interview was to let you get to know Vanessa along side me, so you feel inspired to seek out their many resources they've worked hard to offer a variety of communities.
Find more of them and their work on:

& on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 5pm on KPFK Radio "Body Politics"

You may know him from his tiktok, his comedy videos, or as a cousin of the sister wives family...no matter how you discovered him, I'm sure you're glad to have discovered him.  Benjamin is wealth of knowledge on religion and mental health, and has so much experience on self growth, I can't help but look up to him!  Today's episode we talk about everything from leaving the mormon church, polygamy, the patriarchy, marriage, divorce, the Brown Family Ranch, labor trafficking, sexual repression, exorcism, Joseph Smith, and yes...his first blow job!
This is by far my longest episode, but how could I cut any of the details?  I soaked up every minute of this phone call!  Buckle up!

If you did not listen to part 1, please start there!
A christian boarding school near my hometown hit the news a few times before eventually being shut down.  A buzzfeed article came out with some pretty gnarly accusations about gay conversion therapy, forcing them to eat only peanut butter for weeks and months at a time, and more.  I had to get to the bottom of this since no one else was talking about it.  I brought two victims on from different years of attendance to tell their stories.  Here is victim 2 who attended during their shut down and move to texas.  Again, this has a big fat trigger warning of all kinds for these episodes.  You will hear of all kinds of horrific things.

This is my most requested topic for the podcast: How to talk to your kids about sex!  I have Cath, from Sex Ed Rescue.  Cath is a sex educator with a background in nursing and midwifery, so she's a wealth of knowledge.  We have a great conversation here, but I still want to direct you to her website www.sexedrescue.com to access her free webinar that will give you a great specific place to start from, as well as all her other content and free emails she sends several times a week.  Cath is the real deal and I'm so glad she came on the podcast all the way from across the world!

Welcome to our first listener call in episode!  This call in deserves it's own episode entirely.  Normally these episodes will feature a few call-ins each, so stay tuned for more coming this month!  This call was so gnarly.  A woman calls in to warn other women in the Northern California area about a man who scammed her for several thousands of dollars after meeting in a bar.  It doesn't stop there, she's found many more of his victims but doesn't think he's stopped at those half a dozen she's heard of.  Do you think you or a friend might have been scammed by this same guy?  Give this a listen and if the details resonate with you, reach out and I'll connect you to this caller to get more info on what to do next!
If you want to be on the next listener call-in episode reach out to me on our instagram @SexWithoutFear and we can arrange a time to record our phone call, or just write in and I can respond to your message myself on air.
