  • I have learned so much.

    These podcast have been incredibly helpful for me to cope and understand some of the narratives I was given growing up. This podcast meets me where I am and educates me. It has given me a much better perspective on my own sexuality. Natasha perspective, experience and education has truly resonated with me and I am so grateful for her work!
