On this episode of “What Are You Even Talking About?” we take a deeper route—into self-discovery, embodied connection, and the strange, powerful idea of the perpetual present: that lived reality is always happening “now,” even when our nervous system is stuck replaying the past or rehearsing the future.

I’m joined by Saurora Grace—a sex, intimacy, kink, and tantra educator—who brings expertise, clarity, and a grounded approach to topics that are often either sensationalized or avoided entirely. Together, we explore presence as more than a mindset: how the body holds memory, how intimacy can become a mirror, and how conscious connection can help people reclaim agency, authenticity, and emotional truth.

This isn’t about shock value. It’s about learning to be fully here—inside your body, inside your boundaries, inside your relationships—so your life stops being something you “survive” and starts being something you actively experience.

In this episode, I sit down with Mariel Anderson—Founder and Executive Producer of the Shine Foundation of Artistic Expression—for a conversation that does what we do not do nearly enough: speak plainly about mental health without shame, without posturing, and without pretending men are unaffected.

Mariel helps break the silence and brings real insight into how men can improve relationship dynamics—through emotional literacy, honest communication, healthier boundaries, and accountability that does not collapse into self-hatred. This is not a lecture and it is not “fix yourself” culture. It is a candid dialogue about what it takes to understand yourself, show up better, and build relationships that are safe, stable, and real.

If you are tired of surface-level advice and ready for truth, this conversation is for you.

On this episode of “What Are You Even Talking About?” I’m joined by Dr. Breanna Reeser for a conversation that cuts through the performative noise and gets honest about relationships—online and in real life.

We start with the social media problem: how easy it is to confuse visibility with credibility, and how damaging “confident but wrong” advice can be when people are trying to make serious decisions about their hearts, families, and futures. From there, we move into what actually builds connection—authenticity, accountability, and real communication—not curated perfection.

This episode is about redefining success in relationships: not by how long something lasts, but by how safe, truthful, and growth-oriented it becomes. We talk through trust-building, what it means to introduce a partner to children (and why that step deserves more intention than most people give it), gaslighting and how to recognize it, repairing relationships after harm, and the hardest question of all: when someone hurts you, do you stay—or do you walk away?

Throughout the conversation, we emphasize self-reflection without self-blame, boundaries without cruelty, and communication that actually changes outcomes instead of repeating the same fight in different costumes.

We also answered subscriber questions on relationships—so listen closely… yours might be in the episode.
