Fascinating, funny, (a)ffirming

I could listen to these podcasts all day (and I have!). Please make more when you have the time Sofie!

Just had to unsubscribe

I loved Sofie, I loved her comedy and I loved the podcast. This was until I came to the episode with Blue Sapphire. During the episode Sofie and the guest heartily laugh about the guest having an affair with a married man who’s wife is pregnant.
I’ve been that married pregnant woman. I have PTSD after coming out of the other end of it. It’s just not funny to condone or laugh at a man abusing a vulnerable woman, and it’s not funny to facilitate him in doing so.
Horrible horrible subject to treat so callously and I’m surprised to see someone such as Sofie who speaks so openly about trauma and recovery laugh along with this.
