  • Been hooked ever since

    Just listened to the latest episode with Ezee so I had to tell you that I’ve been listening to Shan ever since Ezee was on your show way way back. I’m a fan of hers and had never heard of Shan back then but after that episode I was hooked ever since. Love your advice, insights and the way you speak to your guest. Side note the filmed versions are always quality too who ever does the videography and editing definitely has the eye.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Stayed Through 80% of His Sentence, Then Left ft. Keeonna Harris
Q: What will they get with this book?
Keeonna describes Mainline Mama as her coming-of-age story about raising children with an incarcerated father, the community she formed with women at the prison, and learning to find home and strength within herself.
I Stayed Through 80% of His Sentence, Then Left ft. Keeonna Harris
Q: With all the tools you have now and all the knowledge and the love you have now, if we rewrote that story, what would it look like today?
Keeonna says co-parents should lead with love, set aside personal feelings and ego, and listen and communicate without becoming defensive, with the child's wellbeing at the center.
This Situationship Taught Me About What I Want in Bed ft. Sabrina Zohar
Q: So if you were to coach 24-year-old Sabrina, what would you tell her to do to make, to set herself up for success in this kind of relationship within the capacity that this man had?
She would tell her younger self that a relationship ending does not mean anything is wrong with her, and to be honest about whether she can accept a casual connection without expecting it to become a commitment.
This Situationship Taught Me About What I Want in Bed ft. Sabrina Zohar
Q: Can you define self abandoning?
Sabrina describes it as saying yes despite wanting to say no, suppressing concerns to avoid seeming difficult, and prioritizing being chosen over checking what feels right.
Abstinence is the Only Correct Path to Sex says Tony Gaskins
Q: Why do you think abstaining is the answer versus more education so that when you do interact with this neutral thing, you have a positive outcome?
Gaskins says most people lack the knowledge to assess character and are vulnerable to partners who conceal harmful intentions, so he believes waiting until marriage is safer. Boodram counters that people can learn to assess risk and make choices that suit their values.
