15 And So... (It's Over)
<p>And so, my curiosity today leads to this crazy world we live in.</p> <p>I’ve spent a season talking to people where the underlying factor is identity and issues stemming from societal constructs of gender.</p> <p>As Brene Brown says, "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage” .</p> <p>And that’s essentially what I wanted to do with this podcast. I wanted to create something where I showed up and have conversations in ways that I didn’t think were happening and just let people speak about their lives. Everyone is an expert on their life and lived experience. I don’t want to hear stories about people, I wanted to talk to them so they can say their story. My hope is that someone may listen and realize that they’re not alone and that there are allies out there. Because, what it feels like is, we all want to be seen, we all want to be heard and acknowledged and validated.</p> <p><br></p> <p>I'll see you next season!</p> <p><a href="//justoutofcuriosity.ca" target="_blank">justoutofcuriosity.ca</a></p>

14 BDSM, Fetish and Kink... oh my! Lady Azelle
<p>And so, my curiosity today leads to sex. I started this season talking about performative vs pleasurable sex and now I’m curious about how kink, fetish and bdsm factor into the equation.</p> <p>Respect, communication and consent play such an important role, but how can that affect your partnership and sex life, especially when it feels like there are such a traditional gender roles that we get conditioned into?</p> <p><a href="https://ladyazelle.com/" target="_blank">Lady Azelle</a> is a professional domme based in Toronto. I couldn’t be more excited than to pick her brain about how she sees sex and power dynamics, discuss the shame and stigma surrounding submissive men and working in the sex industry but also how being curious and exploring could add more growth to your partnership. </p> <p>To rent her studios: <a href="https://torontodungeonrental.com" target="_blank">torontodungeonrental</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="//justoutofcuriosity.ca" target="_blank">justoutofcuriosity.ca</a></p>

13 Velvet Rage: Dr. Jess Erb
<p>And so, my curiosity today leads to mental health. There’s a common theme that runs prevalent over these episodes; when people feel they don’t belong or aren’t seen by society, what and how does that feeling manifest in people? How do you try and live your most authentic life being happy, when society (sometimes your own family) aren’t comfortable or don’t want to acknowledge who you are as a person? I think its kinda crazy that “coming out” has to be announced. Straight people don’t have to come out and pronounce themselves as straight to their friends and family. Cis people don’t have to identify their pronouns. We don’t really live in a world where everyone has rights. Specific people have rights. The rest get allowances. This is something we’re still being reminded of to this day. We don’t really live in a free world, and We won’t achieve full equality by just focusing on our own struggles and ignoring the causes that don’t seem to involve us.</p> <p>I’m a very big advocate for therapy because we aren’t perfect people, our parents/family aren’t perfect people, we are all just trying to learn how to live and love in this crazy world. But the one thing I’ve learned more than anything is how trauma manifests from specific instances from our past. It’s kinda crazy how our brain tries to protect us from feeling hurt or thinks it's trying to protect us from feeling hurt. But how does that show up when you feel like you can’t be yourself around everyone?</p> <p>Dr. Jess Erb is a psychotherapist that specializes with trauma and the LGBTQI2S+ community. I wanted to get her thoughts on the effect of being gay in a straight world and about how trauma can present itself. She is the founder of <a href="https://centredself.ca/" target="_blank">Centred Self</a>.
