Bold Enough to Ask

A BreatheStrong CF podcast featuring tough conversations on sexual & reproductive health for people with cystic fibrosis Relationships are hard. Intimacy is complicated. Throw in cystic fibrosis, and things get real. BreatheStrong CF brings you a rare and honest podcast that dives into the awkward-but-real questions many are afraid to ask – the intimate, often unspoken realities of navigating sexual health, relationships, and reproductive health with a chronic illness. We aim to create a safe space for people with CF to ask the uncomfortable questions, hear the lived experiences, and get the answers they’re looking for. Season 1: Men Have Questions Season 1 of Bold Enough to Ask focuses on the nuances of reproductive health for men with cystic fibrosis. For many men with CF, this topic is left off the table among each other and even in clinic. This leaves men with a lot of questions as they navigate relationships, thoughts about fatherhood, and their general sexual health as they age.

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
