In this episode we explain why we feel love is a freeing experience. So many times we look at love as a ball and chain type of relationship where someone is controlling someone else and it’s quite the opposite for us. It’s so important to not lose yourself in a person and maintain your individuality while in a relationship. This allows you to not get caught in the limbo of “who am I” should a split occur. As always, thank you for the continued support and love of HoodxHolistic.

In this episode we break down the meaning of intersectionality and how it relates to those like us. We feel like the concept and understanding is important to navigate through in order for our society to move forward socially. Many times we watch things occur in real time and can’t have productive conversations because many are comfortable living in their own bubble, making it easy to pass judgement and lack compassion. We jumped over the 10K listens mark last week and we appreciate every one who is tuned in to ANOTHER ONE! Thanks so much for support.

In this episode we discuss our ongoing debate of "is sex better with love"? Since we’ve met we’ve had this debate. Ash thinks that love love makes sex better and Cort felt strongly about sex and love being separate but after nearly 8 years she admits, love makes sex better! We also discuss the sacral chakra and what’s needed to open it and help usher in emotional and sexual energy.

In this episode we break down feminine and masculine energies and explain how they both exist within us. A lot of heterosexual people ask “who is the man” when it pertains to a lesbian relationship as if masculine energy and being a man are synonymous. News flash….it isn’t! We also discuss how many of us would rather appeal to the heteronormative

standards that have been set, rather than challenge them because society makes it easier to do so. As always we thank our supporters for the constant motivation to continue HoodxHolistic Podcast.
