We're back bbs! Coming at you with a sweet snuggle of an interview with the incredible, inimitable Deanalís Resto (they/she/he) - one of our favorite humans! Deanalís is a queer, Bouricua actor, teatristx, & campfire daddy extraordinaire.

Alyssa and Deanalís sat down for a juicy convo about navigating the pandemic while polyamorous, the unique brand of codependency (dare they say COVID-depenency?) that blossomed during deep quarantine and how it felt to be revisited by old-traumas when we're in a space of rest and reset. 

Full of poeticism, warmth and watery-Cancer wisdom, Deanalís invites us to expand our notions of the erotic, the self, and the journey towards healing.

**please note that this interview touches on sexual trauma and what moving through triggers can look like, so take care and space as needed.**

Also just to note that this interview was conducted last year, in 2021, but our reflections on it are from 2022 so we're in the time machine a bit, babes!
