In this bold, hilarious, and hella honest episode of TheSelf Aware & F**ked Up Podcast, host Sandtrice Russell (Tree the LPC) sits down with her grad school girlie, Tamela R. McDonald, LPC, a licensed sex therapist, certified professional counselor supervisor, certified clinical mental health clinician and sexuality educator—for a no-holds-barred convo on sex, polyamory, kink, andeverything in between.


Tamela opens up about navigating ethical non-monogamy, her personal journey into BDSM and becoming a DOM, and what it means to live out loud as a queer, poly, Black woman in the therapy world. The two laugh, reflect, and unpack the challenges of talking about sex in our culture, both personally and professionally.

This episode is part real talk, part sex ed, and 100% juicy.Grab your earbuds—you’re gonna want to hear this.
