Episode notes

I didn't think this type of joy or like feeling comfortable in my body was accessible to me. I thought everyone else felt the way I felt all the time. And now I'm like, Oh my God, I what a waste of time that I spent all that time worrying. So I feel great and I think my parents can see how good I feel. They said an interesting thing: We can't really understand the pronoun thing but we want you to know that we see you as you are. It's just linguistically, we can't get it.

1. Mae, Glennon, Abby, and Amanda each explore their sexuality by delving into what sexually attracts each of them.

2. The sex-positive way Mae’s parents taught them about sex – and orgasm(!) – and how they never made assumptions about Mae's sexuality.

3. Gender as creative expression and a way to have fun.

4. Simple ways to switch up the monotony of routine; to transform boredom into exploration; and dopamine-infused alternatives for addictive personality types.

5. How fear of abandonment / fear of dependence can take over our lives.
