    Platonically Married with Kids (with Jay Guercio)

    Today I am speaking with an inspiring and compelling person living a fascinating life with which my guest talks about in a powerful and authoritative way (that’s the most accurate way I can describe it.) I am speaking with Jay Guercio. I am honest when I say that after I'd finished interviewing Jay, I turned my computer off and started to cry because I was that moved to live more of my own truth in regards to many things in my life, and because I was exceedingly appreciative of her mind and the love she has in her life and heart that she freely shares with others. I found Jay on Tik Tok while scrolling though my For You feed stumbling on her viral video where she explains how she is in a platonic marriage with her female best friend raising their foster son together. What? Yup, I had a lot of questions as you can imagine. And she answered all of them - everything from where Jay and her wife met, their 15 year old foster son, Eddie - his background, how and why Jay became his foster mom with the added dynamic of being a transracial family, to the platonic marriage itself - where Jay and Krystle even got the idea that this kind relationship could work, what roles they play as wife and wife. They are also in an open marriage and are free to date outside of the marriage so we talk about that.. and many more topics. For me the most compelling and exciting thing about their story is not even the platonic marriage and how that all works for them, but it is this: that love is not-can not, be defined or confined to where we previously think it has to be. Love can show up in unique and new ways in our lives. And further more, the kind of love that maybe a lot of us imagine saving or curing our lives can from places we don't even know exist. I am so proud of this interview and I hope you are moved the way I was. ----- Follow Chad the Diamond on all social media platforms: @chadthediamond Follow Beauty and the Guest podcast on Instagram: @beautyandtheguestpodcast Follow Jay on Instagram and Tik Tok: @thelovelyjaybird --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chad-the-diamond/support

    Not Your Plastic Doll (with Clawdeena)

    In this episode I am interviewing the beautiful and talented, Clawdeena.  I wanted to interview Clawdeena for a number of different reasons; the first reason is because I am a fan; I live for her fashion, her makeup, her aesthetic, her bad-bitch-essence. The second reason is I’ve always admired her point of view, the way she thinks, and I am attracted to the kind of communicator she is. He thoughts are nuanced; they are of substance, and I repeatedly learn something new and valuable when I listen to her speak. The third reason is I think she lives an interesting life and has a very interesting story that I was curious to know more about. From starting her YouTube channel at 10 years old, being bullied in school, her introduction to drag, to becoming a rising star in the beauty industry, Clawdeena is unreserved in sharing her story with me, particularly, her story of why at the height of her career as a beauty influencer, did she suddenly delete her Instagram, seemingly leaving it all behind. Clawdeena did eventually come back to social media, but as a new kind of content creator, as someone who, in her own words, is the, “more authentic and mindful” version of herself. This episode is about what it really looks like to choose authenticity above all else, even when it feels like you’re losing it all to choose it. As a word of caution, the topics of self harm, sexual abuse, and suicide are talked about in this episode, so just keep that in mind if those things might pose as a trigger for you. ----- Follow Chad the Diamond on all social media platforms: @chadthediamond Follow Beauty and the Guest podcast on Instagram: @beautyandtheguestpodcast Follow Clawdeena on Instagram: @mamadeenaofficial ------------------- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255 Available 24/7.

    Growing Your Confidence with Roze Teeh

    In this episode I am hanging out with my friend Roze Teeh. Roze is such a genuine and good, good friend to me and I was so excited to talk to her especially since it’d been a couple of years since we caught each other up. We began by talking about how we met, reminisced a little bit about high school, how we were casted in our school’s theatre production of Peter Pan ( such fun times), and then we eventually get into what she’s been up to lately. Roze is 27 years old and she has never had sex; I know a lot of you will wonder, “Why has it taken her that long?” And she explains to me the reasons behind her trepidations about sex, how body image in the context of being a woman of a bigger size playing both a positive and negative role. Roze tells me of the confidence she has built over the last few years in tandem with the things she stills has challenges with. It was so enjoyable for me to hear her story about how she made out with a random stranger at a bar citing that experience as a conscious attempt to step outside of her comfort zone. This episode is really about what taking intentional steps to becoming confident looks like. It’s baby steps and they are all deserving of celebration! I love this episode with Roze as it reminds me that confidence building is a conscious practice. It takes time and has to be done with a lot grace towards yourself, and that we can’t let other people set timelines for when our confidence grows. We hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening! ----- Follow Chad the Diamond on all social media platforms: @chadthediamond Follow Beauty and the Guest podcast on Instagram @beautyandtheguestpodcast --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chad-the-diamond/support
