In this episode, we question whether certain acts of service are true empathy or people-pleasing. We discuss the difference between the two, trauma cycles, friendships, and more. Enjoy :)

This episode is not just about venereal disease. In this mini, I discuss the pros and cons of current hookup culture. I also talk about how casual hookups usually don't benefit women, the ways that hookup culture looks different in gay communities, and why I believe social conditioning plays a more significant role in this than nature.
Sidenote - I mention a research paper in this EP. I wasn't sure how accurate it was while I was filming, but I found the source and here it is:

Are There Downsides to Pretty Privilege?
Tuesday Aug 13, 2024
Tuesday Aug 13, 2024
In this episode, we explore the topic of "pretty privilege" and ask if there are any downsides. The short answer is yes, but conversations around privilege commonly cause division and omit nuances necessary to understand the topics fully.
I'll discuss how conversations around "pretty privilege" are often superficial and ignore broader societal implications. We'll also talk about how misogyny affects these dynamics, how pretty privilege works differently for men and women, and the impact of race on this topic.

I was in a cult - My Story
Tuesday Aug 06, 2024
Tuesday Aug 06, 2024
Over a decade ago I was part of a religious cult. From the ages of 17 to 19 I was brainwashed and completely lost in life. In this episode, I talk about my catholic upbringing and how that influenced my behaviors, I speak on how I fell into a Christian cult, the consequences I suffered after leaving, my opinions on religion, and the lessons I learned.
It's been over ten years since this happened and I'm still healing from it. My hopes for this episode are that it shines a light on the potential dangers of fundamentalist religion and that it can help the people who relate.
