    In this episode, G and Nessa unzip Tom and Lauren's first trip to the Sexpartment.  They unpack their very first lifestyle night, the visit that started as “we're just looking” and quickly turned into a crash course in pushy single guys and hard boundaries. With zero prior experience with anyone else, the couple who once printed erotic stories to read to each other in bed found themselves dressed way too sexy for an adult bookstore run, dodging a persistent single male who couldn't take “no” for an answer from anyone, and bolting out with cold feet.  And let's not forget laughing about their new mantra: “just no anal.” The chaotic night sparked ghosted text chains, a full re-evaluation in the car, and the realization that club marketing (sexy 30-somethings everywhere) doesn't always match reality. Tom and Lauren tell G and Nessa how that awkward evening forced crystal-clear communication, sparked Lauren's bi-curiosity, taught them not to cock-block other couples, and ultimately became the messy-but-beautiful origin story of their growth in the lifestyle—complete with SLS hot-date excitement for every new city and the admission that they still sometimes miss blatant flirting cues.

    PART 2I n this episode, we're joined by Dr. Andrew Zhang, and we explore Lumbar Interbody fusion. We discuss indications, relevant anatomy, differences between ALIF, OLIF, XLIF, + much much more.   Dr. Zhang is a board-certified, dual fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spine surgery. He has a clinical interest in treating complex spinal deformity in adult and pediatric patients, including scoliosis and kyphosis, as well as robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and the latest technology such as endoscopic spine surgery. His patient-centered approach involves empowering patients by educating them on their individual spinal conditions and developing a specific evidence-based treatment plan together with them as if they were his own family members. Dr. Zhang also has a particular interest in teaching residents and medical students and is actively involved in several research studies. He has been published in numerous peer-reviewed scientific journals and textbooks, and he has presented posters and on podiums at several national and international conferences. Dr. Zhang earned dual undergraduate degrees in biology and economics with highest honors from The George Washington University and obtained his medical degree with distinction in research from the same institution. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at Louisiana State University. He then completed an advanced spine fellowship at Brown University, followed by additional spine training at Yale University and the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia and Shreveport. Dr. Zhang completed a second fellowship in advanced adult and pediatric comprehensive spine surgery at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University/Cornell University, training with the world's foremost experts in spine surgery.

Discussion of the book starts at the 3rd minute. Spoilers are between the 24 and 52 minute marks. This is a quick episode that was recorded at our group Christmas party, so there is quite a bit of background noise and special guests randomly sprinkled throughout. We discuss our characters, villain and setting early on and then dig deeper in spoilers. We also touch on the idea of keeping a story alive and how important that is as time goes by. We finish with our usual segments and a surprise book for everyone for the next podcast. Enjoy!

    In this lively Ludo Botany special, we explore tree climbing as play, practice, and design. Lewis brings fresh research on branch collars, spacing, and load strength while Gemma brings lived experience on how different trees invite different kinds of movement. From laurel and rhododendron “nest” trees to coppice stools and swooping live-oak ramps, they unpack species, shapes, and access. The chat ranges across myths and heuristics, defender branches, orthotropic versus horizontal shoots, group dynamics in shared trees, how adult presence changes the climb, and why our bodies feel different in trees compared with ladders. It wraps with a community callout for your best natural loose parts for the next Ludo Botany episode.

In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats with Wendela Whitcomb Marsh (Dr. Wendy), award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and US Autism Association board member, on neurodivergent self-acceptance, workplace accommodations, and advocacy for high-masking autistic adults—especially women/girls/trans/ND folks. After 40 years in special ed/psychology, Dr. Wendy founded (and sold) Adult Autism Assessment & Services, drawing from her autistic family (late husband + 2/3 adult kids). Her Adulting While Autistic series (Independent Living, Dating, Relating, Parenting, Working While Autistic) and SWAN Church (Scripture & Worship for All Neurotypes) empower underserved voices. Key insights: Adult vs. child autism: Masking hides symptoms (e.g., routines for eye contact/socializing); exhaustion from "faking normal." Late-dx challenges: Women/trans/non-binary often missed (3-6x overlap with autism); bullying/shame leads to self-doubt. Workplace/family support: Frame needs as productivity wins (e.g., noise-canceling headphones/WFH); believe autistic voices—no "faking." Clinician tips: Read autistic authors, seek ND-affirming pros; self-ID valid if no paper needed (for disability/accommodations). Advocacy ahead: Boa constrictor squeeze (hard times)—stay safe, speak out; churches need inclusivity (SWAN as model). For autistic young adults unmasking or parents advocating, Dr. Wendy's optimism shines: "Nothing wrong with you—world's not built for you."

    Adult children of alcoholics, and those raised in narcissistic, toxic, neglectful and unpredictable homes, who decide to dive into self growth, self help and emotional healing, inevitably learn that they cannot unsee what they see now that they have awakened to the truth of their toxic family dynamics. This can be a distressing time for someone who has identified themselves as a caretaker, rescuer, people pleaser and who has felt responsible for maintaining family relationships, at all costs, and even at the expense of their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.  It is bittersweet to awaken to the truth of a toxic family system, and to be confronted by the fact that just because you can see the truth, it does not imply the people you love, who you have been enmeshed with and you have tried to save, fix or rescue, will want to see what you see.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, opens up about the emotional challenges of a healing adult child who struggles with abandonment trauma, codependency, and the fear of disconnection, who fawns to keep toxic family dynamics and unhealthy friendships afloat when they discover that they must let go of those they love.  In this episode, you will learn: ✨How to get more comfortable with accepting the uncomfortable reality of having to let someone you love go. ✨How codependency pushes God's love out and idolizes fear instead.  ✨What you need to know about making a spiritually aligned decision when needing to end a toxic relationship with a loved one, family or friend.  ✨Easy to recall Biblical Scriptures that reinforce the need for healthy boundaries when any relationship fills your heart with fear vs God's love. Your Healing Starts Within Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program is a neuroscience-based roadmap to help you gently rewire subconscious patterns, regulate your nervous system, and return home to your authentic self.
