Join host RJ Quirk (they/them) in an episode pulled deep from the vault! In this long-awaited episode, RJ talks with somatic sexologist and host of the Holy Unapologetic Podcast, Ayce Kyptyn (he/him), about the nitty-gritty of moving from a state of dissociation to a state of embodied being.

As always, my apologies for the late drop! This episode was recorded 2 days after I started testosterone, and the voice dysphoria while editing was SEVERE. Can you hear how far my voie has come?? (For reference, the preceding embodiment episode was recorded 8 months on testosterone.)
