My babesssss. Oh boy, this one is heavy for me. This is as personal and raw as it gets. Today, the man I spent the past 13 years of life with joins me on Mama Fire. We are in the midst of the biggest transition I’ve ever been through. To say it has not been easy would be a huge understatement. It has actually been the hardest experience of my life. It has been a ton of letting go, the deepest level of surrender, trusting this is what’s next and allowing myself the time and space to feel it all - sadness, grief, jealousy, loneliness. I hope this conversation allows you to let go of some of the worries, fears and maybe even regrets you’ve been carrying. Because at the end of the day, we’re all human. And we all make mistakes. Even if you’re like me and have to learn the same lesson again and again and again until it sticks, this is how it all begins. The beginning of a new story. Thank you so much for listening. I love you. Follow me along my journey: @itsdierastory

In this conversation, Taylor and I explore the shame many men carry around their sexuality, desires, and emotional world—and how that shame quietly shapes the way they show up in relationships and within themselves. We talk about where this shame comes from, why so many men suppress parts of who they are, and what becomes possible when they finally begin to face those parts with honesty instead of judgment. I hope this conversation offers a perspective that challenges assumptions and maybe helps you see yourself—or someone you love—a little differently.
Sigrid Tasies and I sat down in Austin to talk about the armor we learn to wear as women, the versions of ourselves we keep performing, and what happens when we can’t keep doing it anymore.
In this episode, Taylor and I sit down for an unfiltered Q&A exploring the questions we get asked most often. We talk about desire, fear, relationships, self-trust, regret, and the choices that change the course of our lives. From why men are afraid of their desires to what it actually costs to choose yourself, we share our own experiences, perspectives, and the lessons we've learned along the way.
Why does it feel like men and women are speaking completely different languages in relationships?
Emily and I first met 20 years ago when she began dating a childhood friend of mine. Since then, it feels like many lifetimes have passed—filled with change, growth, and profound transition—as she navigated life after her husband (and my childhood friend) passed.
