Meaghan and I decided to record part 2 because we felt there were so many things we weren't able to get into or discuss further. After receiving questions from people, we decided the sexuality part of Meaghan's story deserved more. We will also try to answer all the questions as best as we can.
***Content Warning***
We will be discussing intimate partner violence, unwanted sexual experiences, and how Meaghan deals with the lasting effects now.

**This episode is dedicated to Susan, my dear friend who is losing her battle with lung cancer. Susan, I met you during chemo, when no one could be with us because it was during COVID and we made our own entertainment, and talked about what we would do when we were done with that shit, even though you knew you never would be unless it meant you were near the end. Your hair made, and will always make, me smile the biggest smile when I'm sad or down. No one will ever understand my love of the word fuck more than you, and I'll keep saying it so you don't have to. I love you.**
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays <3
