Hi! My name is Radiant Rebecca. I'm a polyamorous woman (aka an ethical slut), a courtesan, and a tango dancer. I love to make people blush. Especially if it makes them think! This podcast is about love. And my love life. And my … um, sex life. In each episode, you will hear me in rich, intimate, brainy conversations with my partners, lovers, and curious friends. We will share with you, often in real-time, how we navigate relationship transitions and jealousy, fighting nicely, practice partnership, communicate consciously about sex, money, and more. Expect big chunks of useful information and science geekery, a lot of inspiration, and a dash of magic on top… and of course, lots of talk about pleasure and its manifestations! I believe that TRUE pleasure improves us, and I aim to follow true pleasure wherever it leads. I'm not always right. But I'm always enjoying myself! Care to join me?

episode 83: Pleasure Famine: Coping with the Effects of 2020 and Beyond, with Sara and Rebecca
Pleasure Famine: Coping in 2020 and Beyond
RATED PG: Describing difficult situations
Rebecca & Sara talk about what has been missing in their lives during the pandemic, how they are coping, the apathy that creeps in when our lives’ story arcs feel so much smaller than they have been, social media and it’s effects, and the different ways that different cultures connect around tragedy - optimism and pessimism.
LISTENER COMMENT:
“I enjoyed listening [to this episode], so much of it resonates with me still, especially with with my frame of mind over the past couple of months, and hearing others talk about how they’re affected helps a great deal. In fact, I’ve found this and your last 2-3 episodes to be a bit therapeutic to me, as they’ve drawn some strong emotions, made me think back through a lot of past experiences and process differently, and also better understand some of my current challenges with loneliness and lack of connection, even though I’m married and live with someone.” - A Beta Group Listener
