Hello and Goodbye

Ep 096: Your Sex Life Doesn’t Have to Settle feat. Holly Brown

Does being in a relationship mean you've settled, including your sex life? Leanna and Jared welcome Holly Brown, comedian, artist, writer and host and creator of the comedy show Salty AF. Holly shows up with raw vulnerability as she openly talks about childhood trauma, mental health, sexual assault and unlearning beliefs that were forced upon her. She then dives into her own relationship, how she found the love of her life and how they refuse to "settle" in the bedroom. Trigger warning: this episode does discuss suicide and sexual assault, however it is not discussed with any graphic details.

Ep 094: Accept Nothing Less Than Reciprocation

This episode is a real life "he's just not that into you" as Leanna finds herself in a situation after months of unreciprocal feelings towards someone.
