A quick update to tell you I'm taking a little break from episodes! I will likely be back in some amount of weeks :) xo** this break has gone on much longer than intended & isn't ending anytime soon!!

In this episode Jess and I talk about our past experiences with men following us home, cat-calling, and being predatory, and what to do in these situations. We discuss verbal boundary setting, how to tell someone you’re not interested in communicating with them, what signs to look for when someone might be dangerous, and the various ways a situation can escalate. We also talk about our own experiences with self-defense training as women, different types of martial arts, and how important it can be to have the knowing that you can physically protect yourself. We also both love men and share the perspective that having had negative experiences with some men does not extrapolate to men in general, and we talk about shifting this story, our appreciation for men, and the protectiveness of men around us.Jess's linktree: ways to work with her, free offerings, etcJess's Facebook (where she writes most of her content)Jess Mather, Cpt, Lpta, Sfg, FRCms, Fms, is a strength and rehab professional who helps others relieve symptoms and build a strong, healthy body with sustainable, safe, and proven strategies.

In this episode it's my turn to ask Jordan questions that he wasn't told ahead of time! Topics range from what made him want to marry me, to his suicide attempt at 15 and becoming a father in the future, & more. This is a companion episode to the previous one, where Jordan asks me questions.

Jordan & Demetra hang out and talk about many different things including: Jordan’s list of his favorite funny things Demetra has ever said, how we’re sick of the polarity world and how fragile people’s polarity seems to be, changing with your partner, beauty culture and hair, botox, nails, & makeup, and our journeys with coffee.
