    S1E22 - UnSensitive! - Witch Misconceptions

    By now, most of us have come to realize that witches in modern times aren't what you picture in Halloween movies and fairy tales. Pop culture TV shows like Charmed and books like the Harry Potter series have given us a more flattering picture of a archetypal witch is closer to. But how much closer does it get? And is there still some truth in the pointy hats and broomsticks? Here to clear up what being a witch in modern times is like is Mela Borawski.

    S1E21 - UnSensitive! - Teaching Consent

    Think about when you had “the sex talk” with your parents. What age were you? Did you even HAVE one? Or was it left to the schools, your friends, or even researching the internet to learn about the birds and the bees? Think about your current or future children for a minute – do you have a plan to talk with them, and if so, at what age. What would you think if someone told you it might be a good idea to start earlier than you think? In this episode, author Lauren Carlson addresses this and the bigger issue that this is only a small part of - consent.

    S1E20 - UnSensitive! - Expose Your Inner Diva

    When we were young, many of us were taught that sexual thoughts were bad or impure. Maybe you were told “when you get older”, and that day never materialized. Maybe you were well into adulthood before some hard truths were finally revealed, or worse, they never were. How would you even know how to learn of you don't know what questions to ask? This is the basic concept of the book “Expose Your Inner Diva” by our guest, author and erotic poet RaeMonet.

    S1E19 - UnSensitive! - Cannabis Misconceptions

    Huge headlines were made in December that the House of Representatives passed a motion to decriminalize marijuana-related offenses, which has slowly but steadily bolstered the march towards legalization of it nationwide. As of right now, twenty US states have legalized medical marijuana, and fifteen have legalized recreational use, and many of these states have seen financial gains as a result. Yet some still have an adverse reaction to making it legal for a variety of reasons – health concerns, impaired or criminal behavior, and addiction seem to be at the heart of it all. In this episode, we talk with the MariJayne Maven to separate truth and fiction.

    S1E18 - UnSensitive! - Is Job Satisfaction a Myth

    Recently while I was surfing on Facebook, I saw a meme that talked about how that job you hate would be a blessing to someone without a job at all. Having known plenty of people that dislike their job, but feel it's just a necessary evil – especially with unemployment so high right now due to COVID-19 – that just seemed logical. But is it really that cut and dry? Is job satisfaction really a luxury? This episode's guest, headhunter and career coach Simon Lader, is prepared to give us a different perspective on this

    S1E16 - UnSensitive! - Freedom of Speech (BONUS EPISODE!)

    The last couple of weeks in the United States has been among the most tumultuous of our lifetime. At the center of the storm are people that stormed our nation's capitol building, seemingly spurred on by our president and others to do so. The fallout - the bannings from social media, some platforms losing their host services, and people debating how words can impact action - has really called into question the meaning of freedom of speech. Plenty of people on social media debate what is and isn't free speech, so we thought it would be smart to bring in an expert on the subject! We talk to law professor and freedom of expression scholar Dr. JoAnne Sweeny set the record straight in a powerful episode you'll want to share every time someone brings the First Amendment into your conversation!

    S1E15 - UnSensitive! - Sex Worker Misconceptions

    When the topic of sex work comes up, many people get uncomfortable. Possibly because their religion of choice takes a damning approach to it. Possibly because they can't imagine themselves in any of those roles. Maybe they think it's degrading, unhealthy for the mind or body, or maybe they just think, “if it's illegal, it must be bad”. We talk with Lady Mekaella on the various sex work professions that exist, and the challenges and misconceptions that plague it.

    S1E14 - UnSensitive! - Psychic Medium Misconceptions

    When someone tells you that they have psychic abilities, what do you imagine? That they will start telling you your future? That they'll start gossiping with your grandmother about your bad habits? That they'll try to con you out of your money with tarot cards and cheap theatrics? We talk with medium Laura Michelle Powers about several misconceptions about her skills and more!
