In this episode, I sit down with queer mystic and spiritual powerhouse Juno Lux Epifanio (they/he), Founder and Executive Director of The Haus of H—a nonprofit spiritual center reimagining what queer belonging can truly look like.

With a master’s degree in social work, a deep command of mystical and esoteric traditions, and a devotion to uplifting our community, Juno has created an ecosystem of care for queer people unlike anything that has existed before. Their work positions queer liberation as both a social and spiritual movement, using immersive retreats and creative experiences to fuel The Haus of H’s mission of building systems of care that honor LGBTQ+ lives across generations.

Think the heart of a social worker, the fire of an activist, and the soul of a mystic—Juno’s leadership is living ritual.

We drop straight into what real, grounded support for the GBTQ+ community looks like, why reclaiming our personal narratives is a radical act of liberation, and how presence and mindfulness can change the way we move through sex, identity, and community.

We also dive into our upcoming retreat, Fruits of Freedom, and the intention behind creating a space where queer men can finally breathe, open, heal, and celebrate themselves without apology.

From May 1–4, 2026, Juno and I will be co-facilitating this sacred retreat in Smithfield, Utah, alongside Dillon Diaz, Leo Rising, Kai Franco, and Simón Malvaez. Together, we’re crafting a deeply held, deeply queer container for GBTQ+ people to rediscover their sexual selves with freedom, hope, and unapologetic empowerment.

Recently, I had the chance to sit down with my personal “Substack Oprah”—Aidan Wharton—the very gay and very brilliant author behind Gay Buffet, one of Substack’s leading hubs for gay wisdom, life, and culture.

Aidan, a modern-day homosexual Carrie Bradshaw, has been a huge inspiration to me since I first started on this platform. We’ve interacted almost daily (or at least weekly) for months now, and it was well overdue for us to finally sit down—coffee in hand, Zoom open—and have a real, heart-to-heart conversation.

In this episode, we talk about:

* how Aidan got started with his grounding publication

* why connection is so important

* the intention behind Gay Buffet

* the weirdness of being a social media persona with real-life friends

* reframing challenges into opportunities for gratitude

* his beautiful wedding

* his daily check-in ritual with his husband

* and, of course, the excitement around open relationships and gay sex

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with adult entertainer, retreat facilitator, and my dear friend Dillon Diaz to explore the intersections of sexuality, shame, and self-discovery.

Dillon opens up about his journey from introvert to performer, the liberation he found in adult work, and how courage, energy, and presence shape his life today.

We dive into:

* How retreats, tantra, and workshops mirror our own growth

* The liberation that comes with sexual authenticity and owning your story

* Navigating body image, aging, and shame in a sex-driven culture

* The balance between persona and self, performance and presence

* Why sexiness isn’t a look — it’s an energy

If you’ve ever struggled with shame, body image, or owning your sexual energy, this episode will hit home.

What happens when you strip away every story, expectation, and social script — and ask, “Who the fuck am I really?”

In this soul-shaking episode, I sit down with one of my personal heroes and coaches, Tamara Driskell, to explore her powerful concept of radical autonomy — and how it transforms the way we navigate consensual non-monogamy, love, freedom, and emotional connection.

We dive into:

* Why radical autonomy is the root of who we are — and what that actually means

* How to honor your own truth while loving someone who walks a different path

* The fears, triggers, and freedom that show up when your partner chooses differently than you

* How non-monogamy invites you to grow the hell up emotionally, spiritually, and relationally

* The reality that deep intimacy requires free choice, not control

* Daily practices and questions that keep your relationships alive, not just intact

This is one of the most meaningful conversations I’ve ever had — and I’m not sugarcoating that.

If you're ready to explore love, autonomy, desire, and radical honesty on a whole new level, press play now.

Let’s fucking go.

Relational freedom starts with self-acceptance.

Inside SHAMELESS, we work on both — so you can create connections that feel expansive instead of restrictive.

Let’s talk about what that could look like for you in a free Discovery Call. Book here.

In this episode, I sit down with soul initiator and shadow work coach Dr. Mike Simmons (aka Shadow Mike) for a raw and unfiltered dive into the intersection of shadow work and non-monogamy — and what it reveals about the parts of us we’ve been avoiding.

We talk about:

* What shadow work actually is — beyond the buzzwords

* How non-monogamy can surface deep, hidden insecurities around worth and identity

* My personal journey navigating hierarchical polyamory and the hidden beliefs it’s forced me to confront

* Why the goal isn’t to “fix” the shadow, but to integrate it

* How monogamy, religion, and heteronormativity shape what we think we deserve — and how to break free

This conversation isn’t just about relationship structures. It’s about truth-telling, personal liberation, and facing the places we’ve been told to fear.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your relationship style is helping you evolve or holding you hostage, this one’s for you.

Shadow work is the backbone of sexual freedom. Inside SHAMELESS, I’ll guide you through it step-by-step so you stop running from the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding.

A couple weeks ago, I had a session with my badass coach, Tamara Driskell. I knew it would be powerful — so I asked to hit record.

I wanted to talk about death.

The night before, I did a visualization exercise where I saw my own death. I saw the moment of my last breath. I saw where I was. And in that moment… I realized everything was okay.

And to borrow Tamara’s language: Facing death gave me permission to finally live.

This episode is raw, intimate, and one of the most transformative conversations I’ve had.

Listen in — and when you’re done, go devour Tamara’s Substack and her work. Her coaching is soul-shifting.

Powerful as hell.
