Welcome to 2026, overthinkers! A question to start off the new year: Are you weirded out by your relationship to your own horniness? This week, Amanda is joined by sex educator, author, and cultural translator Shan Boodram to unpack how physical desire gets shaped by culture, social media, gender, power, and self-image, and why it can feel empowering one moment and deeply shameful or confusing the next. Tune in as they discuss unfiltered listener-submitted questions about wanting too much, wanting too little, and wanting all the “wrong” things. This episode is a gentle spiral about learning to trust what your body is trying to tell you.
