Summary
This one’s raw, y’all. After our separate play experiences at the Christmas party (Aiden with Jasmine, Anna with Tony), we thought we’d processed everything. But it turns out...not even close. In this episode, we invite you into a super intimate, real-time recording where Anna finally drops the mask and shares all the big, messy, insecure thoughts she was too embarrassed to say the day before. Intrusive thoughts, catastrophizing, jealousy spirals, and worst-case-scenario fear — all laid bare. You’ll hear us reading our personal, raw notes to each other, sorting through trust, safety, and what it means to really support your partner when they’re hurting—even if it means hearing things you don’t want to hear. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m fine” when you weren’t, or struggled with the aftermath of separate play, we hope this gives you permission to be human too. ❤️ Plus: two emotional voice memos, a lot of reassurance, and the moment we realized we’re way more aligned than we thought. Tune in, feel seen, and remember–the only way through is through. 🌀 We want to hear from you and we ALWAYS write back!
