  • So Informative and Helpful!!!

    I am an engaged woman (mid-20’s) who is listening to this podcast, and it is helping me learn things about sex/marriage that I didn’t know so I will be prepared for when I get married, and has answered a lot of my questions. It has also helped my fiance (he’s listened to a few episodes).

    Thank you Ellen and Kathleen, you both are awesome and have made an awesome podcast! Keep up the good work!
