Each episode they manage to take us on an engaging journey that explores relationships, values and what it means to be LGBTQ in the modern world. I cannot wait for the next episode!

  • Relatable

    Finally a couple that reflects and makes choices based on their affection, consideration and respect for each other. Despite the frequent banter in which they poke jabs at each other, their values and ideas are so aligned they can’t help love each other. Thank you 😊

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Work Spouses
Q: Would you ever consider dating a trans person and how do you handle situations where someone challenges your usual type?
The hosts encourage openness and curiosity, advocating for conversations to understand what truly matters in a relationship and suggesting that dating a trans person can be a growth opportunity rather than a barrier.
ENCORE: Nitpicking
Q: So, y'all, the first question I have for you, I'd like to bring to the table, have either of you been guilty of nitpicking a partner or someone you're dating? And if so, what was it over?
Both hosts describe varying experiences, emphasizing that nitpicking often stems from anxiety or past experiences, and they share boundaries, delivery methods, and when to escalate or back off. Jerrell adds perspective on communication, honesty, and balancing needs with care.
EMDR Therapy
Q: How does EMDR work in practice for a client in the room?
The therapist guides the client to focus on a traumatic memory, uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or sounds), tracks the client's evolving sensations and thoughts, and gradually shifts the distress level while guiding the memory toward a more adaptive conclusion.
ENCORE: S3xuality
Q: How has your open marriage evolved, and what conversations were essential to making that work for you and your wife?
He describes nightly conversations about intimacy, safety, boundaries, and the ongoing negotiation of what openness means for their family, including the challenge of balancing personal identity with partnership.
ENCORE: S3xuality
Q: Travelle, what sparked your journey to identifying as queer and how did it begin in your personal life?
He explains that the process started around his daughter's birth and his exploration through Afrofuturism and Queer Theory, which helped him realize that his attractions could be fluid and that two truths could be true at once.
