Running on Sex

Is there such thing as "instant connections"? Or do genuine connections take time and effort? This short episode explores the connections between two friends living across continents, twin sisters, and high school sweethearts. *This podcast was produced in 24 hours for a project.

Join me with award winning photographer, Adriana Arguijo Guttierez, as we discuss identity and art. We talk about all aspects of their identity, being queer, and culture. Plus, hear how they started their photography business and why diversity behind the camera is so important. 

On the last part of my sexuality series, Dom and I jump into gender identity, expression, and masculinity. Dom discusses and deconstructs the gendering of clothing for himself and tells the story of his first time buying and wearing a dress in public and what that felt like for him. Challenging the norm is hard and Dom's dream to work in politics is often something he thinks about before posting pictures of himself in a dress. But, thanks to supportive friends and inspiration from artists like Harry Styles, Dom is confident in his ability to be true to himself. 

Continuing on from Part One: Discovering Sexuality, join Madison and I as we talk about internalizing sexuality and what that looked like for us. Madison has been in a committed relationship with her partner for almost five years, and both she and her partner have made monumental discoveries in both their sexualities and gender identities over the last several months. Madison explains what these shifts look like in her relationship and how she has been navigating her own identity while also continuing to be a supportive partner. We also discuss bi-phobia, how you can't always see someone's sexuality or gender identity, and how using labels can be both helpful and hurtful. 

Join Sophie and I as we talk about discovering our sexuality and what sexuality means to us. While the road can be long, bumpy, and stressful, the road can also be beautiful and empowering. We discuss our first realizations, first kisses, and how having supportive friends helped us get to where we are today. The journey to feeling comfortable with your sexuality is something that takes time, and as we discuss our sexuality timeline, we want to clarify that ultimately there is no rush and that everyone's road looks different.
