When most people hear the word intimacy, the mind immediately jumps to sex, but intimacy is so much more layered than what happens in the bedroom. In this episode of PGC After Dark, we're slowing things down and peeling back those layers to talk about the intimacy that often gets overlooked: the quiet, vulnerable, soul-deep moments that truly connect us to another person.From emotional intimacy that comes with feeling seen and understood, to intellectual intimacy found in late-night conversations and shared curiosity, to spiritual intimacy rooted in prayer, rituals, or aligned beliefs..... we're exploring all the ways closeness can show up in our lives. We'll also talk about creative intimacy, everyday gestures that strengthen bonds, and how our upbringing and unhealed wounds can block us from fully leaning into those experiences.This isn't just about relationships, it's about friendships, community, and the way we show up with people we love. It's about breaking free from the idea that intimacy has to be physical and learning how to nurture connections that feed us on every level.So grab your glass, dim the lights, and join us for a conversation that's deeper, softer, and more vulnerable than the usual After Dark talk. It's about intimacy, but in ways that might surprise you.We're bringing the vibes, the bold convos, and the late-night realness—so don't be shy, come kick it with us!We wanna hear ALL your thoughts, wild takes, and juicy questions!

Breakups are never easy, but what happens after the dust settles? Can you really be friends with an ex, or is that just a recipe for disaster? And while we're at it—how much of how we show up in love is shaped by the way we were raised?In this episode of The Phat Girl Chronicles, we're digging deep into the messy, funny, and sometimes healing territory of exes, friendship, and the patterns we carry from childhood into adulthood. From "we can still kick it" to "don't even text me," we'll talk about where we draw the line—and why.Because let's be real: relationships don't end in isolation. They're shaped by our past, our upbringing, and the lessons (and unhealed wounds) we carry into them.Pull up a seat, pour your favorite drink, and let's unpack the truth about breakups, boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.We love bringing the laughs, the healing, and the hard conversations—but we wanna hear from YOU too!
