I will admit, I am not fashionable at all. How do people know how to mix colors? And do they avoid their clothes wearing them? So when I saw that Eleanor Kagan, podcaster and fashion expert, was sewing her own clothes, I knew I had to ask how it all came together.

Our guest TK Dutes embodies the feelings you have when you pick up something that we talk about on this show: it’s a new experience, but she has the patience and vision to keep working at it until she’s satisfied. And for any of her hobbies, like creating resin crafts or making ice cream, she attacks it with that philosophy.   Indulgence Nichole recommends checking on the money in your bank account!   Pre-order Nichole’s book Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be!   Guest Keisha...

I can’t carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it, but I love singing. At home. In private. Where no one but my neighbors can hear how off-key I am. That is not the case for Ed Cunard, a certified karaoke enthusiast. He loves singing in front of scrolling lyrics, strong drinks, and smiling customers. I’m gonna find out why.    Indulgence Nichole recommend wearing sexy lingerie just for you (Love, Vera, Sock Dreams, The Lingerie Addict)    Guest Ed Cunard is the cohost of "The Greatest...

It took me a while to learn to be present and not borrow worry. The universe does not want to punish me, it wants me to be happy and enjoy its gifts. I learned that from Cynthia, one of my good friends from back home. She literally takes what’s around her and turns them into incredible collages. If you’ve got a stack of magazines you keep saying you’ll do something with, maybe this episode is for you.   We’re taking a break in place of the next episode, so Episode 11 will come out on July...

In a previous episode, we learned about the pleasure of submission so it’s only right to learn about dominance as well. My conversation with Venus Cuffs, Domme and BDSM consultant, gets a little heavy as we discuss overcoming challenges like racial trauma and lack of safe mentors to find the best way to connect to your inner dominant. She also highlights some major benefits of being a Domme like always having a clean home, which is something I can totally get with.   Indulgence Nichole...

I’m talking with the fantastic Bim Adewunmi all about her experience of learning how to bake bread. I need you to know: this won’t be your typical conversation about kneading dough. Bim helps me realize that learning this kind of skill is life-affirming in more ways than one. What happens when you decide to follow a trend and find lasting joy? And will this skill help you in a zombie apocalypse?   Indulgence Nichole recommends the Canadian ice dancing champions. Bim recommends jigsaw...

When I started exploring the kinkier side of my sex life, I focused on what it meant to be more dominant, but it also helped me get in touch with my submissive side. I realized I had to un-learn many of the misconceptions I had about what it meant to have someone in control of me. Lina Dune AKA AskASub shares her journey as a sub and breaks down subspace, red flags on dating apps, and why it feels so good to let go.   Read Nichole's article, “What It's Like Being A Black Woman In A Dom/Sub...

Pole dancing is no longer a red light secret— it’s in viral social media posts, movies, suburban mom exercise classes, everywhere. Sometimes I watch YouTube to watch competitive pole dancing and I’m in awe— the sensuality, yes, but the athleticism! I wanted to learn more about all the ways it can make a dancer feel good so I reached out to Queerly Femmetastic, a dancer who does cosplay, crochet, and gets low on the pole.   Indulgence Nichole recommends starting your own little collection....

I regret not being more athletic as a kid because I think it would have helped me love my body better, or at least love it more than I do now. In this episode, I talked with two women who decided to take up different sports, a little past the expected age for that kind of athleticism.    Indulgence Nichole recommends the unskippable albums Cooleyhighharmony by Boyz II Men and Sign O’ the Times by Prince. Shout out to the tinyletter Leave It to Leonor for inspiration.   Click here to...

I’ve always been fascinated by musicians, their ability to translate sound into harmony and improvise something that sounds good out of thin air. Sure, I love making playlists and thinking about Prince, but the act of playing music feels like such a mystery to me. How do musicians feel about what they create? I reached out to a professional musician finding himself performing for a new audience, and my friend finding a new hobby in the bass guitar.    Indulgence Nichole recommends the body...

One of the things I’ve noticed as my friends and I get older is how much we try to make our homes places of peace. For many, that means filling it up with greenery, which is hard with my history of over- and then under-watering my plants. I had to ask my friend Donwill how he cares for his house jungle and how he’s, unexpectedly, Plant Dad of the Year.   Indulgence Nichole and Donwill recommend silence!   Guest Donwill is a Brooklyn based rapper who has parlayed his passion for music...

At the beginning of 2020, I realized I didn’t have a hobby that was not monetized. One day, I was cleaning up a bit and came across a cross-stitch project I’d abandoned, and little angels started singing. So I talked to two people for whom needlecraft is really important: my mom and BadassCrossStitch.   Indulgence Nichole recommends Blood of Zeus!   Guest Shannon Downey is the artist, activist, and craftivist behind @BadassCrossStitch.   Sponsors - Dipsea is offering a 30-day free...

There are very few aspects of sex that people across the Internet can agree on, but the opinion that riding *eggplant emoji* or “plas-dick” can be exhausting gets a universal head nod in agreement. So how can we maximize the experience for everyone involved? And how did pleasure expert Tyomi Morgan create a tight-knit community around that pursuit?   Indulgence Nichole recommends soothing murder mysteries: Murder, She Wrote, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and Death in Paradise.    ...
