In the very first episode of Poetry of Intimacy Lounge, I introduce you to Honeybee, she is a voice, a presence and a symbol of my healing journey.

After experiencing heartbreak, I began searching for deeper truth about love, vulnerability and intimacy.

Becoming Honeybee became a way for me to process pain, rediscover tenderness and speak the raw truths many of us carry but rarely say out loud.

This episode is an introduction to the heart behind the podcast. I share who Honeybee is, why she matters to my story and how the Poetry of Intimacy Lounge with Honeybee is a sanctuary for those who seek support in Love + Eros.
