Forget the “free love” sexual free-for-all of the sixties and seventies (*ahem, and eighties for some of us)….Dr. Grant’s hot-off-the-press book Polyamory for Dummies explains the real practice of engaging in multiple intimate relationships at the same time, with the full consent of all partners, and provides a guide for the curious and/or uninitiated.  This conversation reveals a basic truth: even with differing relationship structures, healthy relationships require trust, mutual consideration and care. 

Jaime M. Grant, PhD is an activist, researcher, and coach with 30+ years of experience in women’s and LGBTQ+ issues. Grant runs her popular workshop, Desire Mapping, on college campuses and at conferences around the world. She is author of Great Sex: Mapping Your Desire and host of the Just Sex podcast (www.justsexpodcast.com).

Whether it’s the managed retreat of the Quinault Indian Nation of Washington State or sinking homes in Palos Verdes, Judi’s vast knowledge and experience sheds light on a science relevant to every one of our lives.

Chatting with Estate and Family Law Attorney Chantel Hunter Mah feels like chatting with a favored and straight-talking Auntie or teacher who tells it like it is, because she cares. Listen in as she outs my own estate planning mishap....

Another episode, another dynamic conversation with a guest who shares in the heavy lifting as we trade off interviewing each other. Jersey Mike's sandwich maestro Miles Fog shares his mission to connect, uplift and inspire humanity. This is your reminder that everyone - from your physician, to your boss to the person pumping fuel at the gas station or making your sandwich at the local deli - has a story and a revelation. Doing what feeds your soul, your art, your purpose comes in many forms.

Once in a while - frequently if you're the fortunate sort - a guest brings so much to the table they practically carry the episode and as host, you have to resist the temptation to sit back and let them take over the kitchen cause you're ready to devour any and everything they serve up! Apparently my fortune runs deep as each episode recorded last spring exemplifies that dynamic; my conversation with Brittany Flock is no exception. Brittany is a fitness coach whose practice empowers women - especially mothers - to take back their time, strengthen their body and love the person they've become.

Spoke with Sol Bashirian co-owner and chef at Sunday Gravy in Inglewood, CA.
Mister and I first met Sol shortly after he and his sister Ghazi opened Sunday Gravy. We talk about Sol's atypical culinary journey, his inspirations and the LA "faux pas" he happily committed.
 
Update: Since this recording Sol is expanding his reach professionally and personally. He and his amazing wife Paulina welcomed their first child at the end of September and Sunday Gravy opened a second location at the Clippers Arena in Los Angeles.
