Show Notes
This month, we’re talking to Adam James Cohen, a Marriage and Family Therapist about his upcoming book Second Adolescence: the Messessary path to queer adulthood, which based on his podcast Second Adolescence and also Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
Adam’s podcast Second Adolescence is all about the messy, exhilarating, awkward, healing-filled queer adulthood that comes after growing through first adolescence in an anti-queer world. Each episode features a queer person sharing about their experience growing up, discovering their identity, coming out, and living through their own Second Adolescence. Adam’s book, which is part memoir, provides a framework for what Second Adolescence is for queer people and how they move through it.
And our second book, Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan is a young adult novel, inspired by true events, that follows two 17-year-old boys who set out to break a world record by kissing for 32 hours. This book weaves a number of multi-generational intertwining storylines together where characters are also discovering their own identity and coming out.

In this episode we’re joined by therapist, author, and somatic practitioner Simone Saunders to explore what it means to truly feel our feelings and reconnect with our bodies. Simone shares how somatic therapy can help us understand safety, regulation, and connection as embodied experiences, and introduces the framework from her book Where Do You Feel That In Your Body?. We also dive into bell hooks’ The Will to Change and explore masculinity, emotional intimacy, and the ways patriarchy teaches men to disconnect from their emotions.
In this episode, Amanda and Tara explore the “fawn” response to trauma—the lesser-known fourth F alongside fight, flight, and freeze.
