Sex Drugs and Sustainability2017 Q + AForget the appologies for our absence, we’re here now and that’s what matters! Since we haven’t been around as much the past year (thats right, 2017 is finally behind us!) we thought we’d Q + A each other about the last 365 day. Hear about grad school (x2), mental health (x1000), Sonya’s new found ability to navigate toxic work, trying to #YOLO (we never actually say “YOLO,” but Anza was def alluding to it), and much more! Looking forward to charging into 2018 with high hopes and low expectations! (Don’t forget t...2018-01-0100 minSex Drugs and SustainabilitySex Drugs and Sustainability episode 2.7Ha! Remember that time we said we were coming off our hiatus?? That was almost two months ago...whoops! Anyway, life got weird for Sonya--and she goes into how toxic work environments (and environment in general) can really influence mental health (and more!) We also get an update on Sonya's RAD project that takes her back to her sustainability roots. Our main attraction though is real talk on Saturn's Return (and the similarly related 27 Club) because late 20s are hard y'all and we're feeling it. So, if you're 27, coming up on 27, or survived 27 (dear god, share your...2017-07-2800 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [2.5] - do you prefer to be referred to as a person with autism or autistic?Hi Sustainability Friends! We made it through 2016, and we are gearing up for another year of excitement (whatever that means). Peep this episode and get ready for more Sex Drugs and Sustainability coming your way! Sonya and Anza catch up on what's happening (and are maybe a little more lack-luster than planned. 2016 took a lot out of all of us...) before transitioning into an awesome interview with Denise--a kickass autistic, queer, trans, and all around amazing human who shares their personal perspective on autism. We met Denise through a Tumblr page set up for th...2017-01-0700 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [2.4] - let me start with my own ignoranceWe’ve got another absolutely sustainable and totally kickass episode ready for your listening pleasure! Start out with a quick check-in with Sonya and Anza, who are having some college flash-backs while sending out a bunch o’ love in the wake of all the tragedy in world. Then, follow it up with a timely conversation with author, Alison Ownings. Alison has been writing books that dig into circles and cultures that are often over looked. In light of the recent #NODAPL, her most recent book, “Indian Voices: Listening to Native Americans” seems more important than ever. Alison talks ab...2016-12-0900 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [2.3] - not my president Sustainability Loves! The aftermath of the election has been difficult and trying for many people around the world. Rather than bringing on a guest this episode, Sonya and Anza talk candidly about what happened election night and the days that followed. It's raw. It's real. We're here, and we're feeling it. #notmypresident Please remember, Sex Drugs and Sustainability is a sanctuary and a place where you are safe.

And once you're all nostalgic for Sex Drugs and Sustainability don't worry--we'll be dropping a new season on you in October. 2016-09-0400 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [15] - how do people respond when you profit from oppression?We have a big announcement coming at you about Sex Drugs and Sustainability this week! You'll have to tune in to find out what it is... Also in this episode Sonya talks about how her mental health journey has continued to transpire, Anza shares about some family-things, and we acknowledge the state of the world this past week. In these time, we couldn't have had a more timely guest than Maureen. She is super fierce and fucking bad ass. She talks to us about education, white privilege, how we all need to have some skin in the...2016-09-0400 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [14] - what's the gay-bashing situation in Napa?In this episode of Sex Drugs and Sustainability: Sonya has a fun-filled, un-vegan, and free bleeding month. While Anza has some squeaky friends stinking up her office. We give our feminist take on a couple of truly tragic current events (CW: sexual assault and gun violence). But don't worry, we turn it around with our incredible guest who is a gender non-conforming, LGBTQ-nonprofit magician (best job title ever!) Enjoy an amazing conversation with an amazing human!

Also fresh this episode: Sonya has an interview where she is told flat out she wasn't good enough for the job, but ultimately realizes she is fucking amazing AND plenty good enough. (Don’t believe everything you’re told...2016-09-0400 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [12] - there's no police brutality in socialist countries?This just in! David Sedaris lets us down (#whitemenruinmylife, anyone?), Anza keeps adulting real hard (is adulthood actually marked by home appliance purchases?), and Sonya takes another step in her mental health journey (how hard can the system possibly make it to ask for help? P.S. the answer is REALLY HARD.) PLUS OUR GUEST IS FROM SWEDEN. That's right, the ARCTIC CIRCLE (are you wondering if there are reindeer everywhere??? APPARENTLY SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE!) Evelina was born and raised in Sweden before coming to the good ol' USofA for college and has lived here for 6...2016-09-0400 minSex Drugs and SustainabilityEpisode [7] - so you have to shed the shame?SURPRISE!!! Bet you weren't expecting an episode this week. Well here you go! Our gift to you!
