Hardcore Healing Caitlin Dee

Author of Cutting Apples (Querencia Press) and international s*x worker Jomé Rain stops by the pod to share her perspective on the world's oldest profession, giving herself the grace she's willing to give other people, having cool parents, and the crime of adding grenadine to champagne in Paris.



Jomé has lived in New York City, London, and Paris, and has published poetry via Dream Boy Book Club in addition to her book "Cutting Apples".



We go into the stigmas and double standards surrounding s*x work, the power of neutrality to equalize a false narrative of oppression, and how criminalization can do more harm than good to professionals in this industry.



She also shares her "inextinguishable optimism" and Caitlin would like to bum a dose of that.

**

In brief:


Spirituality - control vs surrender
Service to others vs service to self
Boundaries — saying no without explanation
Your human body and rest

Returning to the podcast with a crossover episode with Thee Eric Wynn, my co-host on Goth Yearbook.



We finally get to do a deep-dive on Eric's ten year recovery from drugs and alcohol, how he ended up in rehab to begin with, and what keeps his recovery going today.



Plus I share about my own relationship with addiction, spiritual perspective on recovery, and we discuss the pros and cons of AA.



If you are struggling with addiction please don't hesitate to reach out for help! Talk to someone you trust, a therapist, or send Eric a DM @gothyearbook on Instagram.
