There was a time when Rae woke up every single day and cried. In the shower. In the car. Before work. After work. Sometimes for no clear reason at all.

And then one day… she didn’t.

In this deeply honest, brave, and beautiful episode, Rae shares what it was like to get married in her 20s, spend nearly a decade inside a life that slowly stopped fitting, and ultimately make the hardest decision of her life: to leave. We talk about the grief of divorce, the shame society puts on women who choose themselves, and the quiet fear of starting over when you’ve spent so long being someone’s wife.

But this isn’t a story about failure. It’s a story about becoming.

We talk about strength you don’t know you have until you’re forced to find it. About reclaiming your body, your voice, and your identity. About dating again, rediscovering desire, and learning who you are when you’re no longer shrinking to survive. We talk about the moment you realize the pain isn’t permanent. That the crying doesn’t last forever.

Rae’s story is a reminder that divorce is not the end of a life. For many women, it’s the beginning of one.

This episode is a swan song. A love letter to anyone who has grieved a marriage, questioned their worth, or wondered if choosing themselves was a mistake. It wasn’t. And Rae is living proof.

Listener note: We had some unexpected technical challenges during this recording. I did my absolute best in post-production, but you may notice a few moments where the music or sound effects feel a little wonky. Thank you for your patience — this conversation mattered too much not to share.

Pack your passports and your pleasure maps because this Full Frontal we’re getting worldly. In this episode of What’s Your Position, we talk to “Hugh” and “Chris,” a married pair of digital nomads celebrating 20 years together and over a decade of consensual non-monogamy. From Colombia to Argentina, Thailand to Bali, they’ve explored how different cultures embrace sex, polyamory, and the art of open desire. We dive into their favorite places to live out the lifestyle (spoiler: South America’s got a heat of its own), and why watching each other’s deepest fantasies unfold isn’t jealousy—it’s joy.

With nearly 1 in 5 couples reporting some form of non-monogamous experience, CNM isn’t fringe—it’s freedom. Hugh and Chris share how travel stripped away shame, made communication a daily ritual, and deepened their connection far beyond what monogamy ever did. It’s raw, romantic, and just a little bit risqué—proof that love, like a passport, is meant to be stamped often.

Ready to fall in love… scientifically? In this Quickie we dive into the famous 36 Questions That Lead to Love — the psychology-backed intimacy experiment that once made two complete strangers marry six months later. Created in 1997 by Dr. Arthur Aron, these questions have been shown to make people feel closer to someone they just met than the average person feels toward their actual friends. Yes, vulnerability is that powerful… and that sexy.

We’ll explore why these questions work, how to use them to deepen your current relationship, and what your answers might reveal about your desires, fears, fantasies, and emotional needs. You’ll even get interactive moments throughout the episode to play along — think flirty eye contact, juicy personal confessions, and a few “oh no, I wasn’t ready to go that deep today” giggles. We ask each other some pretty deep stuff and give our honest answers. Research shows that couples who engage in novel, vulnerable conversations report higher relationship satisfaction and stronger sexual passion, so consider this your invitation to turn your next date night into a science experiment with benefits. Grab a partner, grab a mirror, or just grab some headphones… love is about to get real.
