PAPAYA

Is laughing at your trauma jokes a love language? We get meta on every episode but this one’s for those of us who like to open our friends' fridges and fall asleep on their floors and furniture after eating their food and flirting! We talk about our models for intimacy and realize language is what showed us our hearts. We bring honor to the intimate spaces we’ve been a part of. Who or what are your guiding stars when it comes to intimacy of any kind? Who reminds you of intimacy in your own ecosystem and how can you tenderly connect today? Write to us amores, we welcome ballads at [email protected]. Our invitation to healing poetry this week is brought to you by Angel Nafis, with “Ode to Shea Butter”.
