  • “Sublime” is right on the nose.

    Discovered this podcast via a friend. As a pleasure activist, erotinaut, therapist, student of love, and curious seeker of Truth, Authenticity and Vulnerability, I have to say this podcast is beautifully insightful, gentle, refreshing in its matter-of-factness towards matters of the heart *and* other body parts, and just plain elegant in its approach. Karen Yates is, well, sublime and so graceful as she brings herself fully to the journey, both illuminating and illuminated. Highly recommended!
