September: A Podcast For Loveships
September is a weekly podcast for Loveships. It explores the tools and technologies that build and sustain life-changing love relationships. Hosted by writer and facilitator Alexis Pauline Gumbs and artist and entrepreneur Sangodare Wallace, this intimate show draws on their 17-year partnership built on the premise of Loveship as a spiritual practice and Loveship as a resource in community.
From conflict and contrast, responsibility and repair, to emotional intimacy and navigating the ever-changing seasons of life, Alexis and Sangodare share insights that nurture not only couples but also families, friends, and communities.
Tune in each week for heartfelt conversations that honor relationships as sacred ground—an offering to ourselves, our people, our ancestors, and spirit.
September: A Podcast For Loveships
16. Loveship Is and Loveship Ain't
How do you reconcile a childhood vision of knights, white horses, and Babyface soundtracks with the reality of queer love and liberation?
To kick off the new year, Sangodare circles back to a foundational conversation about the definition of Loveship. While technically still on hiatus (Alexis returns next week!), this episode bridges the gap between Sangodare’s childhood "hopeless romantic" past and the liberative, spiritual partnership practiced today.
Sangodare and Alexis break down the distinction between a relationship of convenience and a true spiritual partnership, a Loveship. Tune in to learn why Loveship is a vehicle, not just a ride; a co-creation, not just cohabitation; and a joyful work, not suffering nor compromise.
In this episode, we explore:
- The Vision vs. The Reality: Moving from fairy tale proposals to intentional partnership.
- Loveship Defined: Why it is a vehicle for living out one’s highest spiritual purpose.
- What Loveship Ain't: A candid look at why Loveship is not just "loving the one you're with" or "complacent cohabitation."
- Inclusivity: How this terminology honors the expansive creativity of relationships, regardless of titles (spouses, partners, baes, or otherwise).
