In this episode, I go back to the beginning of what brought me into the category of pleasure from the Say It With Sex era to The Muse’s Lab evolution.

Ep. 74: Unpublished Twice: The Tea on TheAuthorLT Jul 16, 2026 43:21 It’s been a minute, but I’m back and inspired by a social media trend that had me rehash my days as an Indie Author. The community's outrage pushed me to finally talk about my experience of being unpublished twice by faux friends who, at the time, had small followings. I share my journey to becoming TheAuthorLT aka L.T. Robinson, what I learned in the face of being unpublished, and how I chose to

Parasocial Relationships and Why Loving Out Loud Isn't Foolish Apr 30, 2026 01:01:50 By now, if you're on social media, you've heard about Megan Thee Stallion’s breakup. Adjacent to that, there's a lot of chatter about parasocial relationships (cause we always ride for Meg) and the risk of putting your relationship on display.

Reclaiming the 'Jezebel Spirit': Sexual Sovereignty, Wise Women, and Patriarchal Shame Apr 23, 2026 36:02 Welcome back to another adventure at The Muse's Lab Pod. This episode was inspired by two posts, one from Farha Khalidi and Elianne the @tiwtchy.witch who, in their own way, brought up key points about heauxism as a derogatory label and the push for modesty through the privatization of sex. Both posts highlight Queen Jezebel and led me down a path of exploration. In this podcast, you'll find refer

New Age Spirituality is Effin' Up Your Romantic Relationships Aug 14, 2025 44:45 And... we're... back! This week's episode covers a touchy subject: relationships and new age spirituality. I'ma be honest, it's effin' up your romantic relationships. Concepts like soulmates, twin flames, and soul ties, not only complicate relationships, but often lead to toxic dynamics, unrealistic expectations, and a lack of accountability. I also get into how these concepts and thinking may pre
