Embracing Authentic Pleasure | Laura Ramadei

Jackie G Andrews — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Laura Ramadei, a certified sexologist and intimacy coach, shares her journey of exploring sexuality, non-monogamy, and body connection. The conversation delves into the role of authenticity and consent in intimacy, the exploration of non-monogamy and queer impact, and ultimately how the exploration of non-monogamy leads to a deeper understanding of one's body and pleasure.

The discussion provides valuable insights into the complexities of human relationships and the journey towards self-discovery and acceptance. The conversation delves into the exploration of non-monogamy and queerness, the historical and cultural context of monogamy, the comparison of romantic and platonic love, the principles of non-monogamy and their universality, consent and autonomy in non-monogamous relationships, understanding and prioritizing pleasure in non-monogamy, and more. Enjoy!

Emily Schranck || Tarot, Sobriety, Higher Self

Jackie G Andrews — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 11:00:00 GMT

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Emily about her incredible journey with tarot and sobriety. We delved into her deep passion for tarot and how it’s been a pivotal part of her healing journey. Emily opened up about her experiences with body image and self-acceptance, and how she’s navigated those challenges.

Emily also shared her journey with her decision to quit drinking. We discussed how crucial it is to find support and resources when you’re on the path to sobriety, and the profound impact of sharing personal stories.

She also talked about the concept of connecting with her higher self, which was unbelievably beautiful.

To wrap up our conversation, Emily did a tarot card reading that really highlighted the importance of making adjustments, setting practical plans, and taking time for meditation and contemplation. It was a deeply insightful chat that left me inspired by Emily’s journey and the power of tarot in her life. Enjoy!

Hello people of the world, and welcome back. Oh, I have missed you. Season 4 of The Unity Project is kicking off with an incredible interview with the author of My Government Means to Kill Me, Rasheed Newson.

"My Government Means to Kill Me is an exhilarating, fast-paced, coming-of-age story that lends itself to a larger discussion about what it means for a young, gay, Black man in the mid-1980s to come to terms with his role in the midst of a political and social reckoning."

I learned so much reading his book and talking with him on the podcast about the AIDS crisis, and practical ways we can do so much better. Enjoy!

Bex Mui || Healing, Reclaiming, & Reframing Your Spiritual Practice

Jackie G Andrews — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 10:00:00 GMT

For today’s episode, I had the honor of talking with Bex Mui, a queer witch, energy worker, and spiritual organizer. Bex is the founder of House of Our Queer, a Spiritual place base, and the author of the book House of Our Queer, Healing, Reframing, and Reclaiming Your Spiritual Practice. In our interview, Bex talked about what it looked like being raised Catholic in regard to her sexuality and her relationship with her body, what it looked like to take the space that she needed to heal, and then being able to freely reclaim what felt true and enjoy the spirituality that has always been rightfully hers.

One of the things that Bex said in the interview that stood out the most to me was:

“As a young witch and a young healer, I did have this sense that all of this noise, everything that I was hearing from the church and the community had to do with the fact that there was some type of power in my body. There was a lot of noise and a lot of control, and that wouldn’t be something that was happening if there wasn’t something that they wanted”

Hearing those words gave me goosebumps. Enjoy the episode, and don''t forget to check out Bex's book. House of Our Queer will forever have a place on my shelf.

Jonathan Parks-Ramage || "Yes, Daddy", Evangelical Trauma, Power Dynamics

Hello friends!

For this week's episode, I had the honor of interviewing an incredible author, Jonathan Parks-Ramage. Jonathan Parks-Ramage is a Los Angeles-based novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. His debut novel, YES, DADDY, is now available wherever books are sold. His writing has been widely published in such outlets as VICE, Slate, OUT Magazine, W Magazine, Atlas Obscura, Elle, and Medium.

On the episode, Jonathan gives us a peek into the world of writing his novel, Yes, Daddy, and how he used truth to write fiction. The book is an exploration of class, power dynamics, and the nuances of victimhood and complicity. Personally, I couldn't put it down.

He also shares his story about spirituality and talks about ways that the evangelical church is extremely harmful.

Incredible interview. Enjoy!

Jackie G ft. Kailey || My Story P. 1

Jackie G Andrews — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 10:00:00 GMT

Welcome back, dear listeners! Season 5 - holy mother forking shirt balls - starts today with a surprise switcheroo. My beautiful perfect wife, Kailey, is joining us today to interview ME. In the episode I share my experience growing up with ultra-conservative "Left Behind movie era" (IYKYK) parents obsessed with thinness, trying to scare my sister and I into heaven, ultimately leading to me doing everything I could to be as disconnected from my body as possible. I go on to talk about being sexually assaulted as a teenager, being the personal assistant to an emotionally and sexually abusive boss ten years older than me (IYKYK), and falling head-first into an eating disorder and alcohol addiction.

After recording this for about an hour, I remembered how EXHAUSTING it is to dive deep into these stories and conversations. That being said, Kailey and I decided it would be best to continue this in our next episode with part 2. That'll be where I talk about coming out, therapy, treatment, meeting Kailey, and ultimately learning how to be connected to my body and why I would want to be.

Anyway, thank you so much for following me through so many twists and turns over the past five-plus years. I can't get over how cool that is, and will forever be grateful for that.

Okay, that's enough for now. Enjoy!

Brian Sonia-Wallace || Rent Poet, Poetry of Strangers

Jackie G Andrews — Mon, 02 May 2022 15:37:37 GMT

Hello, my dear internet friends! This week I got to interview Brian Sonia-Wallace, the West Hollywood Poet Laureate, Harper Collins Author, and one of the most creative/ unique people I've ever gotten to talk to.

In 2012, Brian set up a typewriter on the street with a sign that said “Poetry Store” and accidentally started their business: RENT Poet. Over 5,000 poems later, their book of essays, The Poetry of Strangers, profiles the communities they've written for across America, and the desperate desire to be listened to and heard that they found. Excerpts have been published in The Guardian and Rolling Stone, and they've been the official Writer in Residence for unlikely clients from Amtrak to the Mall of America.

I got to talk with this incredible human about what it was like traveling America with a typewriter, meeting countless strangers, and talking about what they need.

We also talked about Brian's story of how they became who they are today, how their relationship with their body has grown over the years through outlets like bodybuilding and theatre, and what it means to be a poet.

Enjoy!

Jackie G Andrews — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 11:00:00 GMT

Author of the amazing memoir, Boyslut, and sex and relationship columnist Zachary Zane joined me on the podcast this week to talk about allllll the things. We talked about bisexuality, navigating polyamory, the importance of therapy and medication, and how he developed a healthy relationship with his body along the way.

I first came across Zach when I was working a slow morning at my local bookstore. I was sipping a coffee, shelving all the new releases of the week, minding my own business, then BAM. I saw Boyslut on the shelving cart and instantly had to pick it up. I had a so much fun talking with Zach on the podcast, and SO much fun reading his book.

Recovery, Treatment, Connection || Part 2 of Jackie G ft Kailey

Jackie G Andrews — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 10:30:00 GMT

Today is the day we finally get to release Part Two of my interview where my wonderful, beautiful wife Kailey switched seats with me to be the host, interviewing yours truly.

I loved part two SO much. After processing through some difficult parts of my story in part 1, it felt hopeful getting to share what the recovery journey looked like on the other side. Coming to terms with the fact that I had an eating disorder, an addiction, and severe depression changed everything for me. I got to talk with Kailey about what it was like going to therapy with a badass therapist, admitting myself into a treatment center for people with eating disorders and addiction, coming out, and falling in love.

Ultimately, we talked about how recovery is not linear, how it was always about connection, and how important our relationships with our bodies truly are.

Today I had the honor of chatting with Sierra Holland, an apprentice midwife, full-spectrum doula, childbirth educator, and reproductive advocate. Sierra had so much important wisdom to share with us on how to support marginalized people in healthcare better. We talked a lot about the oppression of families made up of LGBTQIA+ and nonbinary individuals, black indigenous and people of color, and other marginalized groups.

She also has a PhD in sociology, is a roller skater, and is one of the most interesting people I’ve talked to here.

After talking with her, I feel like a changed human being and can’t wait to share this conversation. Enjoy!

Jackie G Andrews — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 08:08:48 GMT

I was so happy to welcome my friend Coach Chris Rodriguez back onto the podcast for this week's episode. With him being back and getting more time to talk, I was able to ask him questions that had stuck with me that I didn't get to ask in the first interview. A lot of that was around the church and responding to how toxic religion and spirituality have caused a lot of division between ourselves and our bodies.
