About this episode
We all have something inside us that knows exactly what we want.
Katie Gavin joins us to talk about:
How to identify that kernel of desire inside—and then have the courage to follow it;
Why love addiction can feel like being stuck on a “treadmill in the cosmos”; and
the moment Katie called Glennon a Femme/Dom—and how it changed Glennon’s life forever.
Katie Gavin’s album: What A Relief
About Katie:
Katie Gavin is a musician and member of the pop band MUNA, and released her debut solo album What A Relief this past October 2024—an album about a deep desire for connection and the obstacles standing in the way of achieving that. Gavin’s explorations of desire and intimacy feel time-worn and necessary – songs that might teach a generation if not how to live, exactly, then at least how to look within oneself for guidance about how to move forward. Katie is currently in the studio with MUNA working on their forthcoming album.
