Unconditional
It's one o'clock in the morning and my husband and I have just returned from a friend's housewarming party where some innocent flirting has launched us into a conversation about trust, jealousy, and the quirks of our relationship. I'd like to reminder you, dear reader, that we recorded this…

Highs and Lows
Hemingway said "sit down and bleed," and I certainly did that. Now that the dust is beginning to settle, I'm ready to share my experience. I recorded this as part of my own personal healing and with the hope it may reach someone having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Believe…

Ep020: Tribe of Mothers
I met Jaymee Payan, a Doula, Placenta encapsulator, and soon-to-be surrogate mother, through the Tattoos for Planned Parenthood fundraiser. She joins me on the podcast, along with her sister Tommee who's also had a career in childcare, to share her experiences as a doula, explain what the hell a...

Ep019: Movement
February was good to me! #TattoosForPlannedParenthood raised over $25,000, and shops across the country are following suit. The idea is to maintain this momentum in creative ways that engage my mind as well as the community's. If you're an Angeleno, don't forget to vote for Los Angeles Mayor in…

Ep018: Angry Feminist
With the impending deconstruction of Obamacare and the threats to defund Planned Parenthood, I thought it important to record an episode on reproductive rights. Sometimes I feel people (generally men) who haven't had to rely on Planned Parenthood, or Medicare, or who haven't felt the strain of a...

Ep017: January 2, 2017
Nothing like the illusion of a fresh start, right? I'm kicking off 2017 with a solo, stream of consciousness episode that I recorded yesterday. It's from the heart and I hope you enjoy it. Tweet me your resolutions @thesleepybandit, and let's kick 2017's ass!

Ep016: MONEY MAKERS
Is your money working for you? If you're anything like me, facing the complexities of a responsible financial life is daunting to say the least. It was embarrassing to admit I wasn't perfectly financially literate, or that I was still digging myself into debt. But in a capitalist society, where...

Ep013: BLACK (PT. II) | Race, Gender, and Responsibility
This week, I'm picking up the conversation about race with Noel Tarifi, Jasmine Samuels, and Courtney Linsey. In this half, we scratch the surface of media power, fear, the LGBT movement, and our individual responsibility in shifting a culture.

Ep012: BLACK | Race and Class in America
In times of great racial tension, we often feel hopeless. With recent events, it's obvious we are a far cry away from racial equality in our country. I decided at the very least, it was important to sit down with my Black brothers and sisters for a real conversation about race and class. I…

Ep011: What's Missing in College Sports?
When it comes to college sports, there's much at stake and even more being wagered. Are higher institutions looking out for young athletes? I sat down with Will Smith, who works with the men's football team at the University of San Diego and sports journalist Evan Barnes from the Los Angeles…

Ep010: Boys of Summer
Some of my favorite feminist conversations, the ones that truly birthed this podcast, have been with men. In this episode, Stacey Fontaine and I talk dating in L.A. with Brandon Webster and Ian Grow, two LA-transplants navigating the waters both online and IRL.

Ep009: Not Even Water?: Ramadan 2016
Today is the first day of Ramadan! For those of us who grew up in Muslim households, the excitement in the next 30 days is incomparable. Though living in the United States means a different kind of challenge, it's also an opportunity to practice tolerance, compassion, and understanding among our...

Ep008: I Need a Nap
I had the pleasure of talking with two Los Angeles women who happen to be entrepreneurs, community activists, and mothers. Women like me, who don't have children, are often shrouded in speculation when it comes to what it's really like to balance a new life with your own. Lizet Serrano and Ashley...

Ep007: IDK 2016
I don't know about you, but this election season has me worried, confused, and a little nauseous. I sat down with my good friend and fellow average voter Amir Lehman for a conversation about our democratic system and why young voters are difficult to wrangle. I know discussing politics can be...

Ep006: No Girls Allowed?
Perhaps it's because I work for a music school/artist collective, but the issue of women in music, or the lack thereof, has been weighing heavily lately. Joining me for this episode are three young artists- Aaron Perez (aka Castor Troy), Nina Sung, and Emma Maidenberg of PRXZM -currently…

Ep005: Gender & Power
Who and what impact the distribution of power? What are the global consequences of the way power is currently structured? I sat down with Arman Matevosyan and Melissa Archer, two lawyers who've offered their personal experiences in the industry in this exploration on power dynamics. Arman is...

Ep004: Straight Outta College
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that my 20-year-old cousin, a college junior, is currently living with us. Watching her navigate the ins and outs of her academic map, while attempting to prepare for the work force brought the issue to the forefront of my mind. What was missing from my own...

Ep003: 30 & Single
I had so much fun with Nik Cherwink and Stephanie Camorlinga, two uniquely successful individuals, discussing traditional expectations and the shifting conversation around singles. Unsurprisingly, we spent most of the hour talking about sex.

Ep002: The Oscars
With the controversy surrounding The Academy's blinding whiteness and Hollywood's overwhelmingly male scope, I thought it pertinent to discuss the matter with two professional actresses, Stacey Fontaine and Emily Bell. Together, we try to shed light on the different hurdles women face when…

Ep001: What Did Your Ex Teach You?
I'm so thrilled to debut the first episode of the Kiss My Angeles podcast. As an evolving person, my feminism can't be defined in black and white terms or literal stances on specific subjects. As a women, I'm learning more about myself, and about what it means to be a woman in this world, every...

Ep015: Nurse Becky
If you haven't noticed, female-focused Sex Ed is basically non-existent. Many of us are still cobbling together advice from friends, suspect internet searches, and that one thing from Bio class five years ago. Enter Nurse Becky. Becky is a dedicated, compassionate RN in Los Angeles who graciously...

Ep014: Date like a Feminist
I've convinced myself that I'm great at giving dating advice. Whether that theory is true outside my own reality is yet to be determined. In this episode, two brave men, Armen Haftvani and Mark Lee- both amateur comedians and fellow creatives- allow me to dig through their dating past and present...
