Well, it's 2023 - we made it! As we gather receipts and do an audit on times past while looking forward; I wanted to gather bits and pieces of the past year's conversations in which my guests' brilliance took us places profound, hilarious and enlightening.

What we talked about...

• Bisexuality and coming out (with Zachary Zane)
• Understanding Happiness (with Tal Ben-Shahar)
• Undeniable wisdom from a retired sex worker (with Rylee Rabbit)
• the warnings about the slow rot of American authoritarianism (with Sarah Kendzior)
• Finding one's Self (with John Kim)
• How our biographies directly affect our biology (with Dr. Habib Sadeghi)
• Comedy and kindness (with Jeffrey Gurian)
• Ayahuasca and meeting our shadows (with Kat Courtney)
• How the Marvel Cinematic Universe is built on Trauma (with George Hahn and Dr. MC McDonald)
• The right to shame-free sex for all (with Rena Martine)

Feel free to share, leave a review wherever you listen or drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.
