LOS ANGELES—April Lampert and Amy Baldwin, hosts of the "Shameless Sex" podcast, have dedicated their most recent episode to the stress caused by relationship collapse, particularly during the coronavirus lockdown. It's all in the episode ‘Breakups and Heartache’ at Shamelesssex.com.
According to the hosts, during the episode, they encourage the suddenly-single to embrace their fears, speak up when they need help, call on good friends to be there while going through the emotions of grief, sadness and anger—and to realize that being alone in 2020 isn’t such a bad idea after all.
“After facing a recent breakup, April and I were motivated to devote an episode to this personally painful subject, where I openly share my heartache and vulnerability while offering tips for listeners who may be going through the same,” said Baldwin, who noted that the combination of “a good support system, nature, meditation and tequila” helped her tremendously.
“We’ve already received countless responses from listeners thanking us and/or saying they are in the middle of it as well. It seems like it’s in the air, and it’s extra challenging considering what we are all going through during COVID-19.”
Baldwin added that this uncertain period in time is “a golden opportunity to highlight how to navigate breakups; a lot of folks are miserable in their relationships, but are too scared to leave because they are afraid dating will be too hard during COVID. Well, it’s summer and summer is the perfect time to get out of those dead-end relationships.”
