    May 19 2026
    I am so excited and proud to share all the information packed into this incredible episode. Today we're learning about everything from how to get an abortion in 2026, what availability vs accessibility of reproductive care looks like in the Trump era, and how to support abortion rights in America. I had the honor of speaking with Monica Edwards and Joely Pritzker, the policy and health experts at Power to Decide—an abortion rights organization providing education, advocacy, and resources promoting access to reproductive healthcare for everyone. I hope you all find this episode as powerful, insightful, and impactful as I did!

    May 10 2026

    Welcome to our FIRST EVER video episode! As much as I like to refer to myself as "tech-savvy", I can fully admit that's not true, so it was quite a ride getting to the point of releasing video episodes, lol. But here we are — and what a perfect guest to launch with! Tricia, aka "Safe Slut" on IG, TikTok, YouTube, and Patreon is an incredible writer, content creator, and all-around sex-positive feminist icon. In this episode, we chat all things dating with herpes, living with herpes, and tips for disclosing herpes. Whether you're living with HSV yourself or dating someone who recently got diagnosed, I hope this episode is helpful and informative for anyone wanting to learn more about the condition that nearly 80% of the world has!!!
