Ep. 31: Resilience in the Face of Baggage with Erica Spera & Molly DeMellier
Shooters Gotta Shoot is a podcast breaking the stigmas around herpes, sex, and women who go after what they want. Professional comedian Erica Spera and businesswoman Molly DeMellier are well-educated, driven, former NCAA athletes who know how to get what they want — except when it comes to men. With humor and candor, they explore the complicated, frustrating and bizarre realities of dating as headstrong, twenty-something women in New York City. But they also bring a candid and honest point of view to the experience — with Erica’s recent herpes diagnosis adding another layer onto navigating sexual encounters, dates, loneliness, family and societal pressures, and more.
In this episode, we discuss:
· How to overcome shame and blame when it comes to the baggage we carry with us into relationships.
· The stigma around having herpes and the added element it brings to navigating the already complicated dating scene.
· How your childhood upbringing may impact your attitude towards dating as an adult.
· How long women should wait before they put out.
· Relationship sex vs casual sex and the role losing your virginity plays into which one you prefer.
· How an awareness of feminine energy vs. masculine energy can provide insight into your current dating strategies.
· And I also get a big lesson in today’s dating scene and how ALL the different social media platforms are part of it, not just the dating apps.
