For the year that I spent working on my podcast miniseries about the Magic Wand vibrator, Making Magic, I assumed that it would be meaningful to a small but passionate audience. I certainly never dreamed it would be nominated for awards.

And yet, that is exactly what has happened!! Can you believe?!

Making Magic is nominated for two different Signal Awards. It’s a top-3 finalist in the Limited Series – Health & Wellness category, and it’s also one of the nominees for the Signal People’s Choice award in the same category.

Here’s where you come in: it would mean a lot to me if you could click here and vote for Making Magic, which should take you 15 seconds or less.

Ever since being banned from Instagram and Facebook a couple months ago due to their sex-negative policies, it’s been harder than ever for me to promote my work and earn a living. So I’d really appreciate any help you can give in getting the word out to your networks, online and off, both about the podcast itself and about voting for it.

I want as many people to hear this show as possible, not just because I poured my whole soul into it for a year of my life, but because it conveys a message that our world sorely needs right now – about sexual freedom, equality, and the importance of pleasure. So I’d appreciate it to the depths of my soul if you could throw a vote my way, to help more people hear about this series!

Thanks, as ever, to the dream team who partnered with me on Making Magic, without whom this achievement would have been impossible: my editor extraordinaire, Jamie Pityinger; the folks at Vibratex, who believed in and funded this strange passion project of mine; and Addison Finch, who did the stunning album art. I am so lucky that I got to make this show, especially with such awesome people in my corner. 💖

Thanks, and keep on making magic! 🪄

Hi, all! Regular readers may have noticed it’s been a minute since I did a Monthly Faves round-up. In all honesty, I’ve been super exhausted a lot of the time, due to a mix of professional factors (i.e. launching my first book!!) and medical factors, and I just haven’t had the energy to do a Monthly Faves in a while.

But usually those are the posts where I brag about the stuff I’ve been up to lately, and I’ve been up to a lot lately – so I thought I’d collect some of my recent media appearances, published articles, etc. into one place so you can check ’em out if you’d like to. Here’s some of what I’ve been working on, as of late…

My friends at the Off the Cuffs podcast invited me onto their show again to talk about the process of writing my book. We also discussed a listener-submitted question about DD/lg dynamics.
The folks at Off the Cuffs also invited me to discuss the movie Red Eye with them for a Patreon bonus segment. It’s one of the horniest, kinkiest movies I’ve ever seen, and also definitely one of my favorite thrillers, so I was glad to chat about it with such smart pervs!
The delightful Erin Pim and I talked on her podcast about the kinky stuff in my book, harm reduction in BDSM, and sexuality in Mean Girls, among other things. Lots of giggling in this one!
I had a fun time repeat-guesting on What Women* Want. We talked about my book, my experiences trying various kinks I wrote about in the book, and some other miscellany about sexuality and gender.
I chatted with Aria Vega on the POV by Lustery podcast about my book, kink/BDSM/fetishes, chronic pain, and more. (Doesn’t Aria have such a gorgeous voice?!)
As per usual, I’ve been cohosting weekly episodes of The Dildorks, on all manner of sexual subjects.
We wrapped up season 2 of Question Box back in September, after a fun-filled season where we were lucky to chat with fascinating guests, from a storytelling coach to a dating expert to a fiber artist to a fitness instructor.

I was blessed to get to do a book launch event on Glad Day TV which was so fun! I read some chapters from the book and chatted with Tianna about the writing process, readers’ reactions to the book, my philosophy in writing it, etc.
Phoebe D. invited me onto her video podcast, Sexuality After, for a wide-ranging chat about my roots as a sex educator, my forays into kink, some common dating difficulties, and various other things. Fun fact (I guess): I did this interview while quarantining at my parents’ house and dealing with a mystery illness (not COVID), hence the congested voice and loopy thought processes!
