    S2 Ep135: My Mom Talked to Me About Sex, And It Made Me Rebel ft. Blair Imani
    Sep 3 2025
    What does it mean to be ready for motherhood? How do love, faith, and our relationship with our maternal figures shape our parenting?

    In this honest and grounded conversation, educator, author, and activist Blair Imani shares her perspective on family planning, pregnancy loss, and the role of sexual education in real life. She opens up about having conversations with her partner around abortion as part of sexual health, and how her conversion to Islam continues to guide her through questions of timing, family, and faith.

    We also dive into Blair’s relationship with her mom, and how that connection influences her hopes for becoming a parent herself. It’s a conversation about the choices we face when planning for a baby, the loss and love that come with it, and the bigger role faith, values, and family play in planning our future.

  • S2 Ep134: What holds a relationship together when life falls apart ft Dr. Laura Berman

    S2 Ep134: What holds a relationship together when life falls apart ft Dr. Laura Berman
    Aug 27 2025
    What holds a relationship together when life falls apart? Most of us picture the happiest moments when we think about our partner, but what happens when tragedy hits? In this intimate conversation, Dr. Laura Berman shares how she and her husband weathered some of life’s hardest storms together.

    From dating him while she was caring for her young son with cancer, to the unimaginable loss of their son Sammy during the pandemic, Laura takes us inside the moments that tested their love, and the choices that kept them connected.

    Days after the death of their first child together, Sam pulled Laura close and said, “Most couples don’t get through tragedies like this, but we will.”
    It’s a reminder that the strength of a relationship isn’t just built in joy, it’s forged in the fire of what you survive together.

  • S2 Ep133: Inside the Male Fantasy: The Surprising Request Men Keep Paying For ft. The Pink Parley

    S2 Ep133: Inside the Male Fantasy: The Surprising Request Men Keep Paying For ft. The Pink Parley
    Aug 20 2025
    This week on Lovers, Shan sits down with The Pink Parley, a sex worker pulling back the curtain on what men secretly crave but rarely admit—even to their wives. With 98% of her clients being married men who have no desire to leave their marriages, Parley reveals the surprising request that keeps them coming back: ass worship.
    Yes, you read that right. These men don’t just want to “eat the groceries”—they want to be consumed by, suffocated by, and utterly surrounded by the booty. For them, it’s not just an act of pleasure; it’s a full-body, sensory experience.

    Together, Shan and Parley unpack what this hidden desire tells us about:
    - The gap between fantasy and communication in long-term relationships
    - The role of body positivity in sexual confidence and desire
    - How unspoken cravings can complicate fidelity inside marriage


    This episode is provocative, eye-opening, and an important reminder that what we don’t say in the bedroom can be just as impactful as what we do.
