Description

Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) is joined by Ali Weiss, New York native, host of Tales of Taboo and unapologetic oversharer, for a raw conversation about rejection, vulnerability, and why we’re all obsessed with the forbidden.

A funny, honest, and deeply relatable episode on being human, craving connection, and owning your messy truth, why rejection stings less when you know yourself, and how vulnerability can be both a calling and a curse. Ali opens up about running her anonymous confessions podcast, burnout, parasocial relationships, and why taboos like sex work and drug dealing deserve compassion instead of judgment.

Other topics we cover:

  • The complicated relationship with oversharing and boundaries

  • Why rejection isn’t the end of the world, and how to approach people IRL

  • The obsession with being a “clean girl” vs embracing messiness

  • Why taboo fascinates us and how it secretly connects us all

  • Friendships that go deeper than relationships

  • Learning to accept yourself so you can handle rejection and find real connection
