  • Brandon and I met through the Sexual Health Alliance (SHA) where I did my training as a Sex Coach and he did his as an educator. He was already a clinical social worker then. When we recorded this episode, I was looking for an expert for women who feared dating online because of the men they might meet and Brandon delivered! So, I hope you will tune in and listen because some of my most profound realizations of the year were made in this conversation. Shout out to Mat Leffler-Shulman for rescuing this episode when my naivete as a new podcaster almost lost it for eternity thanks to an echo over everything Brandon said. My audio may be choppy, but you will hear Brandon clear as a bell! Huzzah!

  • Hello My Lovelies! Happy Pride Month! Today, my guest, Christi Stafford, creator of Automation on a Mission, and I talk about online dating, the differences of straight vs gay online dating, living in a bus, working 24/7 with your partner, being an entrepreneur, and we still were not done by the end of it! Christi Stafford is wildly engaging and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

  • Happy Pride, my lovelies! It has come to my attention that I have not had enough of my LGBTQIA+ family on here. Changing that this month and it will continue in the months to come. For once, I actually do not have to put the 18+ warning on an episode! This is actually a shout out for trans youth and trans rights. I have had the pleasure of attending talks by Ley David Elliette Cray, PhD (she/they) through my training with the Sexual Health Alliance (SHA). Ley takes the time to lovingly answer questions that have baffled me working with people but also, from just interacting with people, and society at large. Ley opens up about the impact of not only family of origin interactions, how issues that trans people face are important whether cisgender people understand it or not, that trans people or anyone who is not a straight cisgender person doesn't owe anyone a coming out, and much more. I remain amazed by her expertise, willingness to answer any question I could throw at her, and above all, her kindness.

    Ley's Information:

    Ley David Elliette Cray, PhD (she/they) is a sexologist, author, coach, consultant, and educator specializing in gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity in a neuro-inclusive framework. She is the founder of Transentience Coaching, through which she assists clients as they navigate issues of identity, authenticity, community, and meaning. Additionally, she is Dialectical Programming Coordinator at Growth Thru Change, co-facilitator (along with Midori) of the Sexual Health Alliance's Kink-Informed Certification Program, and frequent collaborator of virtual gender-affirming care clinic Plume as well as the social app Plura. She teaches philosophy at New Mexico State University and is currently working on her second book, Painful Games: BDSM, Identity, and the Aesthetics of Gameplay.
