Today’s episode is icon, influencer, and confidence queen Serena Fucking Kerrigan — otherwise known as SFK. After graduating from Duke University, Serena was hired as a producer at Refinery29. In February 2020, she quit her job to launch her own company that would empower women to live their lives unapologetically and authentically. Since then, she has hosted the first ever Instagram Live reality show, Let’s Fucking Date, launched a hugely successful line of card games, and amassed a huge following on social media—bringing her followers along on her dating escapades and adventures, all for the plot!(bio adapted from letsfuckingdate.com) In this episode, we discuss how Serena manifested her dream life, exactly how you should be approaching dating apps (prompts, banter, getting on the first date, etc), hyping yourself up, making yourself unavailable at the beginning of a relationship, leaning into your devine feminine when dating, and so much more! We answer so many of your questions and give advice on everything from confidence to dating to boundaries and more!

This week’s episode is my last solo episode on the podcast. I’m choosing to listen to the signals my body is sending me and take a step back and slow down. In this episode, I dive into the Roe v. Wade reversal, the trauma of Covid, and answer your questions about what I wish I saw in the wellness community, my favorite workouts, getting in the mood when you’re not feeling it, my boyfriend, summer plans, if I regretted opening my marriage, letting go of relationships, and what’s to come in the next few weeks of RFR!

This week, I had a profound conversation with activist Ashlee Marie Preston. Ashlee is a proud black, transgender woman who is constantly advocating for LGBTQ+ youth and those who are struggling. She is now 8 years sober, and has the humility and kindness to share her story of recovery from childhood abuse, meth, prostitution and homelessness with us. Ashlee is now the messenger she has been waiting for her entire life, and I believe she is a messenger for all of us too. Ashlee grew up unsure of her gender identity in the conservative state of Kentucky. She shares her harrowing story of sexual abuse, being institutionalized as a child, and how her drug addiction began. She moved to California at 19, and found herself struggling to fit in. She was fired from her retail job for being trans and became homeless, without a shelter that would accept her and her trans identity.

On the streets, Ashlee resorted to sex work as a means of survival. She turned to substances to numb out and survive. It was finally Ashlee’s understanding of her relationship with God/universe, that brought her to the breaking point. She began recovery, and found her voice in activism through working with nonprofit organizations, and seeing how poorly people like her were being treated.

Everything that Ashlee thought made her broken and unworthy are now symbols of strength and beauty in her life. Without the work she’s done (in spirituality, sobriety, and service), she would not be helping people like she is today.
