Mila Jam is an international pop sensation, an artivist (activist + artist), a trans icon, a rising star, and somehow magically also my friend?!?!? How did life get so cool? Mila and I go deep in this conversation. We talk about gender, womanhood, dating, celibacy, the “boyfriend show,” patriarchal conditioning, trans visibility, intimacy, emotional labor, and why so many modern women are just…tired. Also: men will apparently fuck couches.In this episode:Mila’s journey from Southern Baptist kid to trans iconHow “the boyfriend show” can last yearsThe surprising freedom of celibacyWhy modern women are exhausted by menDating while trans in pre-social media NYCThe difference between being desired and being valuedGhosting, emotional cowardice, and modern dating cultureHow “women have out-menned men”Patriarchy, power, and emotional laborWhat women actually want from menHow to stop accepting breadcrumb relationshipsTrans womanhood, safety, intimacy, and visibilityThe healing power of women supporting womenWhy good treatment matters more than chemistry aloneFor ALL THINGS Mila: https://www.milajam.com/Listen to Mila's music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6m7wJXzvVyE0j6eef6pj1a?si=li_LtmpJSHaHoC99v78yIQ&nd=1&dlsi=8ce32e81b47b4973Watch Mila's iconic music videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/milajammusicFOLLOW MILA ON SOCIALS:https://www.instagram.com/themilajam/https://www.tiktok.com/@themilajamSUPPORT THE SHOW!Become a paying Substack subscriber: https://samiamounts.substack.comVenmo Samia: @Samia-Mounts / https://account.venmo.com/u/Samia-MountsCashApp Samia: $SamiaMounts / https://cash.app/$SamiaMountsEmail me your thoughts or pitches at [email protected].
