Classically trained opera singer @lanaviolette was repeatedly told she had no place on the stage or in the arts.

Lana found Burlesque, and she found her Tribe as well as an empowering, body-positive space that allowed her to mix all of her talents: opera singer + dancer + production manager + pasties artist into one fabulous outlet.

Let us take you on a journey with a behind-the-scenes look at what becoming a burlesque artist looks like, what it takes to be a burlesque performer, and how difficult the system currently is to even have burlesque performed in your local city.

Today’s podcast is something really different.  

I get real-time coaching on my relationship from Alexandra Stockwell, MD, also known as "The Intimacy Doctor".  

She is an Intimate Marriage Expert who specializes in showing couples how to build beautiful, long-lasting, passionate relationships.   

She’s also the bestselling author of "Uncompromising Intimacy" and host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast.  

A wife of 26 years and mother of 4, Alexandra believes the key to passion and fulfillment, intimacy, and success isn't compromise - it's being unwilling to compromise - because when both people feel free to be themselves, and know how to love and be loved for exactly who they are, the relationship is juicy, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

More than 50% of all humans have STI's, so why all the shame?

Today's podcast with nurse practitioner Lauren Haines de-stigmatizes STI's and STD's allowing us to hear the facts and normalize this part of being sexually intimate with others.

You're not dirty or gross or tainted in any way for having STI's or STD's.

Lauren even gives us some scripts to help in telling your partner(s).

This is reality.

Perspectives on Life from my 97yo Grandmother Therese Grossman: Part I

I’ve been interviewing my 97yo grandmother over the past several years each time I visit her in Savannah.

Therese Grossman was born May 6th, 2025 in Savannah, GA.

Recently she has started having dementia, which is normal in someone her age. The brain starts to fade as the body begins to make it sway towards the end of living in this lifetime.

I just got back from visiting her, and wanted to share some of the wisdom that I’ve gathered.

There is something magical about sitting across from someone that has been through:

The first thing she wanted to share was how to live to 97.

3 Ways to Stay Young:

She then shares with us what her exercise and movement program looks like weekly:

1. Exercise Class that she leads (she's the oldest one there!)

2. Zumba class on a DVD

3. Qigong in the park

4. Exercise bike

She’s outlived 3 husbands, several lovers, and a daughter. Lots and lots of friends.

She only recently retired her sex life. She told me at 90 that she was complete in that department.

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to a very long life filled with love, and happiness, pleasure, lots of sex, and creating some amazing memories. I want to learn, and laugh and love so hard that at 90 I can say “ok, I am complete”.

XO,

Jen
