I look at the theme of Generational Trauma that is at the center of one of my comfort shows.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of going on stage at a show by Onyango Otieno AKA Rixpoet, called Nothing Underneath and sharing very openly and vulnerably about a sexual experience that I had had. A clip of that story has caused a bit of a stir.

In this episode I had the pleasure of hosting the person that I had this experience with as they shared their side of the story.

In this episode I talk about how a conversation I've had several times with my mother ties into some experiences that I have had on the internet in the recent past. With the way I share so openly (especially for a woman my age, apparently), would it be better if I either shut up or toughened up? Why make myself so vulnerable? Where does authenticity fit into all of this?
