This week, we had the pleasure of hosting Shahem Mclaurin, a licensed therapist and social worker who focuses on trauma and patriarchy-impacted individuals. Shahem shared his expertise on the impact of patriarchy on both men and women, explaining how societal norms that center around men can be harmful to everyone. He emphasized the importance of emotional attunement and the ability to fully feel and process one's emotions. We discussed the challenges men face in seeking therapy and the common criticisms Shahem encounters in his work, particularly from men who feel that women are not held accountable in the same way.

Grab a drink and get comfortable. CockTales: Dirty Discussions is that unfiltered conversation happening in the corner of your favorite bar, hosted by friends Kiki Said So and Medinah Monroe. With one navigating single life and the other rooted in a long-term relationship, their perspectives clash and complement in the most honest ways. This isn't a clinical advice show; it's a raw, comedic, and deeply personal journal of what modern dating, sex, and relationships actually feel like on the ground, specifically through the lens of life in Atlanta. Each episode feels like you’re pulling up a chair to their table as they dissect their latest encounters, frustrations, and triumphs with zero censorship. The laughter is genuine, the stories are real, and the discussions go to places most are too polite to mention. You’ll find this podcast lives in the messy, human intersection of society, culture, and personal revelation, all served with a hefty side of comedy. Tune in for the kind of candid talk that makes you nod in recognition, laugh out loud, and maybe even rethink your own approach to the complicated sea of love and connection.
