    Read excerpt

    This episode of Love Your Villain gets honest about what happens behind closed doors. Host Ila Casselman sits down with a father of two daughters, married 20 years, to explore sexual shame, masturbation, porn, and the religious conditioning that follows us into marriage.

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Mothers, this one might sting. In this episode I'm talking about the way we raise our sons — and how "doing everything for him" isn't love, it's a disservice. Daughters get taught to cook, clean, and run a household. Sons get asked to take the bin out. Then they leave home unable to feed themselves and move in with a girlfriend who inherits the job their mother never gave them. But this goes deeper than chores.

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    "Whoops, we're pregnant" is never just an accident. It's a decision two people made and rarely take responsibility for. In this raw, unfiltered episode, Ila shares her own teenage pregnancy and the choice to terminate at 15, and doesn't hold back on what "accidental" pregnancy really does to a child, a relationship, and a woman's body autonomy.

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Who were you before the world told you who you needed to be? Identity isn't something we lose overnight. It happens quietly. Through the roles we take on. The expectations we carry. And the belief that being needed is the same as being worthy. In Episode 2 of Love Your Villain, I sit down with Delilah Patton to explore what happens when our identity becomes wrapped up in who we're expected to be. And how we begin finding our way back to ourselves.
