she.

Keke Palmer has questions for days, about everything under the sun. From the existential to the inconsequential. From pop culture to pop science. From the meaning of life to the meaning of W.A.P. From life in outer space to “Where the eff is Tom from MySpace?“ And everything in between. Because Baby, this is Keke Palmer, and she is here for All. Of. It. Each week, the multi-talented Keke is taking you on a journey down the rabbit hole on a topic that she cannot stop obsessing over.

In today's episode, we re-release an episode we feel is still so relevant. With everything going on right now in the US regarding the abortion bans and regulating pregnant peoples bodies, we felt this was a crucial time to reiterate that a woman's purpose on this earth is not to be a baby machine. The greatest sign of gender inequality being alive and well is how society pressures women to have children and by a certain age. When will we stop giving women deadlines, and implying that a life without a child isn't as meaningful?Visit Body Art Forms: bodyartforms.com

In today's episode, we re-release an episode we feel is still so relevant with LGBTQ+ rights being threatened now in the wake of the Oslo attack, roe v wade being overturned, and now the Supreme Court in the US threatening to examine marriage equality. The LGBTQ+ community doesn't get enough credit for all the positive examples, values and activism that our community exemplifies. Instead our community is often underrepresented in mainstream culture. We believe that there are several aspects of the LGBTQ+ community that society as a whole can learn from, and we're going to talk about all the positives that our community demonstrates.Get 10% off your BetterHelp membership: betterhelp.com/lovingVisit Body Art Forms: bodyartforms.com

Queer bars have long been understood as havens from heteronormativity.  As LGBTQ people become more accepted in society, it seems the straight presence in gay bars is more than ever.  As we plan our own bachelorette party, we got to thinking about straight people having their bachelorette parties in LGBTQ bars. Then we got to thinking about some of the ways in which straight people can be more mindful in gay bars. Let's talk. Get 10% off your BetterHelp membership: betterhelp.com/lovingAudible: audible.com/wellbeingHelloFresh 16 free meals: hellofresh.com/she16Promo code: she16

We hear the phrase a lot, "in order to know where you're going, you need to know where you've been.” We've recently been wondering about genealogy and having our own discussions surrounding the topic of ancestry, history, and how much of this is important for our identity. Do we need to know our past in order to know who we are? We discuss.BioHacked: Show LinkAudible 30-days free: audible.com/sheHelloFresh 16 free meals: hellofresh.com/she16Promo code: she16

We hear the phrase “do something outside of your comfort zone” a lot in society. It's taught to provoke personal growth and an opportunity to embrace change in your life. But is this blanket statement really the best self-improvement advice to give people? Should we be doing things outside of our comfort zone more or is that lazy advice for personal growth? Let's explore this topic.Audible 30-days free: audible.com/sheHelloFresh 16 free meals: hellofresh.com/she16Promo code: she16

It goes without saying that LGBTQ+ relationships are about more than just sex, and it seems like a very obvious statement to make, but unfortunately, it's actually not that obvious in our heteronormative society. Why do so many people automatically associate an LGBTQ+ relationship with sex? Let's discuss!

It's no secret that women in particular face a greater pressure to be likable as they navigate through society. Be a likable boss, a likable date, a likable presence in the room...but are we really just implying that women should take the backseat in society and adhere to gender stereotypes?More often than not, it's the women in society that are pressured to be likable, approachable, and warm. This burden placed on women often affects us when we try to be assertive or passionate about something as it can get misconstrued as bitter, mean, and overbearing. Let's explore this.

In today's episode, we share our personal stories of when we realized we were attracted to women and what our experience was like.

Societal gender roles believe that women are biologically more nurturing than men, instead of socialized to become the nurtures. This belief has reinforced the traditional view of the feminine role as nurturing and caring as opposed to tough, logical. It seems pretty sexist to suggest that women should provide this special attention. Not only are women expected to nurture children, but we are also conditioned to nurture grown men in society.

The "three date rule" is something we hear about in society in relation to waiting to have sex until the third date when you're newly dating someone.

Spoiler alert, we all do! In today's episode, we talk about examples of internalized homophobia within ourselves, but also in how we've seen it within others in society…including those who identify as straight. You can have internalized homophobia, and not be explicitly homophobic. Let's talk.

Texas has banned all abortions past the 6-week mark, so essentially almost all abortions completely, and enacted a hunt for people seeking the procedure. Ultimately making pregnant patients suffer.  In today's episode, we address why this is so problematic and how once again, society still finds it imperative to control women's bodies. 

We receive a lot of messages about us as a couple and how we keep our relationship healthy. We hear about red flags when it comes to relationships a lot in society, so what about those green flags? Today we're chatting about some green flags in a relationship (or friendship!) and how you can spot early on if your relationship will be a healthy one.

Baby gender reveal parties are rituals that celebrate the gender binary and reinforce gender stereotypes. These parties are harmful because they are the very first attempt to box that baby into a gender that they may not feel represents who they are as they get older. For children to feel safe, we need to knock down the walls that cage them in. Is a baby's gender something to be celebrated? And if so, why? We're going to chat about why baby gender reveals can be unhealthy for children and society as a whole, and how it contributes to society's expectations of people because of their gender. 

Discrimination and oppression can be an everyday experience for trans people and can affect so many areas of their lives. Today we bring on reality star, activist, and author Precious Brady-Davis to speak on trans issues, being the first trans bride on Say Yes To The Dress, and her husband's pregnancy.Follow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperienceFollow Precious Brady-Davis on Instagram: @preciousbradydavis

Examples of misogyny and male privilege are present on the streets, in politics, in the workplace, but also in sex. So today, we're going to talk about the ways in which misogyny is present during sex and how it's made very obvious through orgasms. Follow us on Instagram: @shiftingherexperience

Sex is a natural aspect of life and a fundamental part of being human. The lack of accurate sex education leads to misinformation on health-related matters such as menstruation, STD awareness, reproduction and fertility, and consent. Today, we chat with sex educator Leeza Mangaldas to get her perspective on the cultural stigmatization of sex and how to break this stigma in society. Follow Leeza on Instagram: @LeezaMangaldasFollow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperience

We bring on Courtney Revolution, the star of Netflix's The Circle, to chat about gay representation. We discuss Colton Underwood's coming out, LGBTQ+ visibility, and how heteronormativity assumes that there is a certain way to be gay, look gay, and act gay. Follow Courtney on Instagram: @courtneyrevolutionFollow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperience

LGBTQ+ representation in the media is visibility. Visibility is normalization for marginalized groups and an opportunity for other stories outside of heteronormativity to be told. So today we're going to highlight some of our favorite LGBTQ+ portrayals in the media and why we love these representations. Follow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperience

In this episode, we bring on the founder of the popular Instagram page @fuck__patriarchy, to discuss how she brought feminism to social media on such a large scale. We tackle the existence of patriarchy,  the damaging effects that it has on society, and tangible examples of patriarchy in our day-to-day lives!Follow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperience

Sometimes, we humans tend to settle for less than we deserve in life because of insecurities, societal pressure, or we may not even realize we're settling. When we settle, we often get into a pattern that leads to us eventually being disappointed. So today, we're going to chat about why settling can cause a snowball effect of unhappiness, and why it's important to set standards for what you deserve.

No means no.  When we hear "no means no" we often associate the phrase with consent. But what about other aspects of life? Like dating, friendships, and even work environments? Today, we're going to chat about how the phrase “no means no” applies to every scenario in life, and how to feel empowered in your choice to say no.

The adult entertainment industry is an industry that is constantly scrutinized, shamed, and seen as something we just don't talk about in society. So today, we're going to bring on a special guest, adult performer, Cherie DeVille, to chat about her experience in the porn industry, the challenges that come with working in such a taboo industry, and how her profession ties into her own empowerment.Follow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperiencereflect. on Amazon US: amzn.to/2N162Tmreflect. on Amazon Canada: amzn.to/36L0VgQreflect. on Amazon UK: amzn.to/3joRYit

Since the news of Sarah Everard's death in London,  you may have seen women online sharing their own experiences with their safety or the lack thereof. You may have also seen the phrase “not all men” circulating the internet... but this response is quite damaging and takes away from the actual issue that exists in society. Today, we're going to chat about why it's problematic to use the response of “not all men” when women speak out about their experiences, and clarify exactly which men we're talking about when we talk about gender privilege. 

Empathy is something that we don't often think about when it comes to dealbreakers in friendships, relationships, and even work environments. But it's one of the most important things when it comes to developing meaningful and deep connections with people, and also bettering yourself in the process. We're going to chat today about what empathy is, how to spot someone that lacks empathy from a mile away, and why it's important to be empathetic.Follow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperiencereflect. on Amazon US: amzn.to/2N162Tmreflect. on Amazon Canada: amzn.to/36L0VgQreflect. on Amazon UK: amzn.to/3joRYit

Trigger warning: sexual abuse, rape, and consent. We've heard a lot more about consent in the past few years thankfully, but many people still aren't sure what consent actually looks like, sounds like, or its definition. So we're going to make that very clear today and chat about what exactly consent is and how it can actually be very sexy.Follow shifting her experience on Instagram: @shiftingherexperiencereflect. on Amazon US: amzn.to/2N162Tmreflect. on Amazon Canada: amzn.to/36L0VgQreflect. on Amazon UK: amzn.to/3joRYit

In society, we're so accustomed to using binary language when describing people and in how we perceive others to be. This is why the non-binary identity is so important.

Even as a couple, we know the most important relationship you'll ever have is the one you have with yourself. Which is why it's so important to self-reflect on your own thoughts, experiences, and life path.

While the world was busy making noise and watching two white men fight for power in the US, yet again — we thought it was important to take the attention off the repetitive “men in power” narrative and focus on the women in politics who are changing the world. So today we wanted to put the spotlight on some of those women who are changing the world.

Whether you're single or in a new relationship, we all at some point have asked ourselves, what does it feel like when you meet your person? How do you know if this person is right for you? Is there such a thing as soulmates? We chat about what it feels like to meet someone you're so sure about and some healthy green flags that we believe are tell-tale signs that you've met your person.

In light of the new Sex and the City spin-off series being announced, we wanted to look at everything the original series got right...but also everything they got wrong! We're going to chat about the good, the bad, and the downright confusing parts of the smash hit series, Sex and the City.

Entitlement can present itself in many different forms — the expectation for things to work in your favor, ignoring things that you feel don't apply to you, or by overriding other people's experience your own self-importance.  On a larger scale, we see entitlement and privilege tie into each other, and we're going to explore today why that is.

As we begin 2021, many of us follow the tradition of making New Year's resolutions in the hopes of a better year. But these resolutions often don't end up sticking and we ultimately forget about them. So what can you do instead that actually encourages follow through? We're going to chat about why you should ditch making New Year's resolutions and focus more on goal-setting alternatives.

Where are we getting married? What advice do we have for LGBTQ+ teens? How do we feel about "childless guilt?" We answer all the questions that you submitted via Instagram as a thank you for a great first year of she.

Recently, it's been brought to light that one of Instagram's most popular feminist pages, with a following of 6.5 million people, was run by two cis men. So is this allyship or ownership? While yes, men can be feminists too, feminist allyship falls silent when the true identities are a secret to the public.

LGBTQ+ representation in films and TV are few and far between. Which is why gays everywhere were pretty excited when they heard that Happiest Season, an LGBTQ+ Christmas movie featuring two gay women, was coming out. No pun intended. But even though we're excited to have a queer Christmas film, we do have a few opinions on it and wonder if the movie could have better represented a queer couple in 2020. 

We live in a time where almost anyone can become famous overnight, but with this fame also comes the risk of being canceled. Is this cancel culture we've created, toxic? Are we giving people the opportunity to learn and grow as individuals if we cancel them before they can correct their mistakes? 

The birth control pill has been seen, for the most part, as an empowering way for many women to have control over their sexual health and their bodies. But why do we, as a society, put so much of the contraceptive responsibilities on women, yet there is so little funding into the research surrounding women's health? Let's chat.
