How it Went

Ep. 47

Today I'm sharing my personal reflections on my recent one-woman show, Hyena, and my journey towards self-love and acceptance. It's been almost a decade since I first started performing this piece, and I'm excited to share with you the amazing experience I had performing at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and the diverse audience that attended. I'll also be discussing my struggles with self-worth and how performing this show has helped me in my journey towards acceptance of myself.


During the episode, I'll be sharing some personal stories and reflections that may make you cringe or feel uncomfortable. But trust me, I see you out there. I know the feeling of loneliness even when surrounded by people, and the struggle to feel worthy of love and acceptance. I've had to confront these feelings head-on, and I'm excited to share with you how performing has helped me on this journey. So, join me for this heartfelt and honest conversation about self-love, acceptance, and the power of storytelling.

Sitting with Pain

Ep. 57
Can you imagine holding onto a pebble of pain, rubbing it smooth over years, like a worry stone? In today's episode, we dive deep into the uncharted territory of emotional pain—how we deal with it, why we hold onto it, and how we might begin to let it go.I share some personal experiences around this topic, from the lingering pain of unresolved family issues to my spouse's past, and how it all intersects with my own hypervigilance and perpetual anxiety. I reflect on the value of having friends who are older and how observing their handling of life's ups and downs informs my perspective.There's an exploration of the irony of seeking physical pain in kink while shying away from emotional pain, and a deep dive into the theme of self-sabotage—our baffling tendency to undermine our own success.In a world that often discourages expressing negative emotions, learning to listen to our pain can be a radical act of self-love and healing. So join me as we journey into the heart of pain, and, perhaps, come out stronger on the other side.  Links and Resources: Work with me at KinkDoula.comUpcoming events   Thank you so much to my loyal Patrons who make this show possible! 💜 Join them here to support my work. 🤩Healthy Life - VIP Dope Ass Mofo! 😎 Elizabeth Scott - Supastar Ride-Or-Die! 🌟 Shimmering In The Firmament of AWESOME!

Floundering in Failure

Ep. 56
Have you ever caught yourself in a spiral of self-criticism and negativity? That's where I found myself in this episode, battling with the guilt of missed work commitments and the exhaustion in the aftermath of COVID-19.In this deeply personal reflection, I talk about my struggle with high expectations for myself, my battle with emotional perfectionism since childhood, and how I've grappled with the fear of disappointing others. It's been a tough journey, but I've had some pretty amazing people by my side, and I want to take a moment to appreciate them and the accomplishments I've made along the way.I also share the challenges of healthcare, the absurdity of American healthcare costs, and some frustrating experiences trying to get medication for a three-week trip to Europe. Plus, I dive into my new consulting venture, Kink Doula, and the scheduling issues that have come up.But it's not all hardship and struggle. There are moments of self-love and acceptance, of recognizing the beauty in our imperfections and the miracles of our lives. Join me as I take a moment to step back, breathe, and appreciate the miracle of being alive.Links and Resources:My new consulting venture 'Kink Doula'*****Thank you so much to my loyal Patrons who make this show possible! 💜 Join them here to support my work.🤩 SUPERSTAR MOFOS:Liz Scott Terri Lahmon💜 PATRONS:J Starr Anna T Biddle Christopher Brown Amy Willaert James R Potyraj Marshall Flax Haddayr Copley-Woods Scott J Marty Wilder Meg Baca JP Robichaud aeric meredith-goujon KillerB1973 Sara Leiste Esther The Adipositivity Project Kathleen Melch Andrea DK Green (aka DK Leather) Stephanie Shernicoff 🥚 WELCOME N00b:Joanna Spencer
