Back again and talking about the wonderful and informative children's book written by Brittney and its necessity in your household. We discuss how Halloween changed this year and how we think Christmas will be. We reveal a sneak-peek into another episode where we will talk about our Covid weddings and how this unique experience has been.

Guest: Abel. They are a Wiccan, an actor/playwright, and Kink enthusiast. We discuss their experience and issues with an eating disorder so that we can take the stigma off this topic and see what its really like, at least from one perspective. This is not to generalize but understand and try and learn to be supportive (rather than demonize or belittle those suffering) as well. 

Trigger warning for those who are recovering or still struggling.
