An error in translation

Author: Leah Carey February 4, 2021 Duration: 2:00

Hey friends,

You'll notice this isn't the regular episode you were expecting! 

The regular episode was loaded into the feed, and some of you may have already downloaded and listened to it.

However, I made an error in the production of this episode so, in fairness to our guest, I've pulled the episode to fix it.

Here's what happened –

Our guest, Alexa, is Deaf and we did the interview through an interpreter.  It was my first time ever doing an interview through an interpreter, so it took me a little time to relax into it.

What didn't occur to me was to send the transcript to Alexa in advance of the release to confirm that the translation accurately reflected what she said. I did that last night.

This morning I had an email from Alexa letting me know there were some issues.  In light of that, I've pulled the regular episode down while we correct it to make sure Alexa's thoughts and feelings are truly represented.

While this is resulting in a bit of a scramble this morning, I wouldn't have it any other way.  The most important thing in the world to me is to tell women's real and true stories.  Too often women's voices are obscured by others trying to tell us what they THINK we said.  These stories – YOUR stories – are too important to let that happen.

I don't know exactly when the episode will be back up in the feed. So I thank you in advance for your patience while we work this out so Alexa's voice comes through the way it should.

Talk to you soon.


Leah Carey's Good Girls Talk About Sex is built on a simple, powerful premise: honest, unfiltered conversation. As a Sex and Intimacy Coach, Leah guides discussions that feel less like interviews and more like the kind of intimate, revealing talk you'd share with a close friend. Each episode features women from an incredibly wide spectrum of life-differing in size, shape, age, orientation, and cultural or religious background. The stories include those from people raised as girls and transgender women, exploring a full range of relationship structures and levels of kink. What you'll hear are personal narratives about sexuality that are often left unspoken, shared without judgment. This podcast moves beyond theory into the lived, human experience, creating a rare space where complexity is welcomed and authenticity is the only rule. Tuning in means listening to voices that are frequently marginalized, finding common ground in unexpected places, and perhaps understanding your own story a little better through the generous sharing of others.
