Hosted by writer and facilitator Alexis Pauline Gumbs and artist and entrepreneur Sangodare Wallace, this intimate show draws on their 17-year partnership built on the premise of Loveship as a spiritual practice and Loveship as a resource in community.


From conflict and contrast, responsibility and repair, to emotional intimacy and navigating the ever-changing seasons of life, Alexis and Sangodare share insights that nurture not only couples but also families, friends, and communities.


Tune in each week for heartfelt conversations that honor relationships as sacred ground—an offering to ourselves, our people, our ancestors, and spirit.

  • 26. Celebrate the Squabble: There is One Right Way to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich
    Mar 15 2026

    In this episode Alexis and Sangodare offer a relationship practice: “celebrate the squabble,” framing conflict as a generative opportunity for growth rather than something to fear, and grounding it with levity and curiosity. Drawing on Audre Lorde’s image of love acting “like a drug or a chisel,” they share about their first fight and seeking support that holds conflict as teacher rather than a breaking point. They close with three North Stars for conflict and announce a March 27–29 Black feminist breathing gathering in Durham with chanting, sound circles, dancing, Sunday School, and a live podcast taping.

    Mar 8 2026

    In this episode Sangodare and Alexis reflect on their “love ship” as a rhythmic, metronome-like practice shaped by consistent internal and external influences. They discuss their first live podcast recording at Gladys Books and Wine, and responding to audience questions from that event, they cite influences on their relationship including Love on the Spectrum and Couples Therapy. They also describe their long-distance origin, traveling together, and evolving ground rules emphasizing respect and expressing emotions without violence.
