🇺🇸 Trailer Free from Desire

[Retrouvez la version française en saison 2] For years, Aline thought “it will eventually come.” They'd even put themselves in uncomfortable situations to try and force it to happen. It never did. They felt isolated, excluded, and ashamed. What is life without experiencing sexual or romantic desire — from a one-night stand to a coupled relationship? At 20, they finally started to find answers. ✨ “This compelling personal story has lessons and insights for anyone with a body”, Tribeca Festival ✨ "Though Free From Desire provides plenty of answers, its success isn’t rooted in being educational—accompanying Aline as they pursue agency and happiness, regardless of who understands it, fuels the show’s magic", The Atlantic ✨ Free from Desire is a podcast originally published in France, where it made the cover of magazines. It has been Tribeca Festival's best Audio Storytelling and Signal Awards' best Diversity, Equity & Inclusion podcast in 2023, and was one of the 25 best podcasts of 2023 for The Atlantic. ✨ --- 👉 Follow Aline on Instagram @YallahAline! 🇫🇷 Abonnez-vous pour recevoir les épisodes de la saison 2 en français ! --- Hébergé par Acast.
