The Purple Pawedcast

My guest this week is Leah Spasova, a psychologist, sex and relationships expert, and Founder of the website lifesexplicit.com, which provides resources for exploring identity, gender, and sexual wellness.  Leah and I muse over topics as far afield as why people have sex, why bro culture needs sex, and how to find Jesus.

What is The Purple Pawedcast?

Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind).

Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.
