episode 7 | Pleasure from a Racial/Identity Context
Dana & Victoria dove into a conversation about how their various identities have informed how they think about and access pleasure. This is a conversation that we've been having behind the scenes for a while and today we're bringing it to all of you. We'd love to hear from you, too. How do your identities inform how you've been able to access pleasure?
episode 6 | Pleasure & Rage (Copy)
In this episode Dana & Victoria talk about the importance of learning to build our capacity for feeling our feelings so that we can hold both rage and pleasure. As Brene Brown says, we cannot numb one feeling without numbing them all. In this episode we touched on some of the ways that we experience this individual, but also how we see it showing up collectively through things like Pride and Juneteenth.

episode 2 | relationship with yourself
In our second episode, we talk about how your relationship with yourself informs everything else. We touch on joy, both the real, and faking of joy (and orgasms), and how time is a social construct. This one is longer than we intended, but more importantly, we laughed, and had a ton of fun making this episode, and are so excited to share it with you.
