    Ep. 74: Unpublished Twice: The Tea on TheAuthorLT

    It’s been a minute, but I’m back and inspired by a social media trend that had me rehash my days as an Indie Author. The community's outrage pushed me to finally talk about my experience of being unpublished twice by faux friends who, at the time, had small followings. I share my journey to becoming TheAuthorLT aka L.T. Robinson, what I learned in the face of being unpublished, and how I chose to move forward (and possibly republish my work). Be prepared for this adventure with a stress ball, a good cuppa tea, and an open mind.

    Parasocial Relationships and Why Loving Out Loud Isn't Foolish

    By now, if you're on social media, you've heard about Megan Thee Stallion’s breakup. Adjacent to that, there's a lot of chatter about parasocial relationships (cause we always ride for Meg) and the risk of putting your relationship on display. In this adventure, I explore why so many of us were invested in Meg’s happiness, the infinite disdain of men playing in women's faces, and a reframe on loving loud and feverishly. Can you embrace your "lover girl era" bravely? Deep dive with me.

    The 'Jezebel Spirit.' Wise Women. and Patriarchal Shame.

    Welcome back to another adventure at The Muse's Lab Pod. This episode was inspired by two posts, one from Farha Khalidi and Elianne the @tiwtchy.witch who, in their own way, brought up key points about heauxism as a derogatory label and the push for modesty through the privatization of sex. Both posts highlight Queen Jezebel and led me down a path of exploration. In this podcast, you'll find references to the following: "Divesting from Sexual Liberation" "The Devil is the Lie to Keep You Unaccountable" "Can Women be Misogynistic?" "Finding Pleasure" - Soul Chat with Ebony M. Tutora (start at 20:50 for the reframe of coincidence) Chapters in this episode 00:00 Welcome and Trigger Warning 01:36 OnlyFans Debate and Jezebel Label 04:46 Jezebel as Queen Reframed 08:42 Patriarchy and Biblical Propaganda 11:21 Good Girl Rules and Resentment 13:54 Sex Energy and Celibacy Myths 21:51 Wise Woman Witch Rebrand 25:14 Access Entitlement and Sovereignty 29:03 Reclaiming Jezebel as Power 34:36 Closing and Final Takeaway ____________________ For more information or to collab, email shavaughnelle@themuseslab.com Learn more about my work here Sign up for weekly musings Join the conversation Instagram | Threads

    On Love & Romance for the ADHDer

    Shout out to consistency! In this episode, I take a look at love, romance, and safety from the perspective of an ADHDer, who’s been out of the dating scene for some years. Inspired by ADHD content creator Brittany Elizabeth, I challenged the old adage of love feeling like “butterflies” and called flag on the play. Tying those butterflies to some of my most harmful experiences, I share my journey to how I’m reframing dating, what good feels like in a potential partner, and how certain friendships serve as a great foundation to write a new intimate path.

    Back Into the Lab: Adulting, Creative Comebacks, and Calling in a Devotee

    I’m back, muses! In this episode, I share a bit of why I’ve been gone so long (TLDR; adulting is kicking my arse). The woes of corporate life once again, that still leave me overstimulated and under-creative. Life at peak adulting has left me touch-deprived, craving intimacy, and wrestling with how to date, socialize, and rebuild a social life after years of focusing on getting back into a stable place in my life. However, the biggest theme for this year: my desire for a lover/devotee. Tap in, as I get into the things.

    New Age Spirituality is Effin' Up Your Romantic Relationships

    And... we're... back! This week's episode covers a touchy subject: relationships and new age spirituality. I'ma be honest, it's effin' up your romantic relationships. Concepts like soulmates, twin flames, and soul ties, not only complicate relationships, but often lead to toxic dynamics, unrealistic expectations, and a lack of accountability. I also get into how these concepts and thinking may prevent personal growth and offer space to reconsider applying these ideologies to your romantic life. Can't wait for you to tap in!
