LOS ANGELES — April Lampert and Amy Baldwin, hosts of the "Shameless Sex" podcast, discuss relationship stress during the coronavirus lockdown in their latest episode, titled "Breakups and Heartache."
"The duo is encouraging the suddenly single to embrace their fears, speak up when they need help — calling on good friends to be there while going through the motions of grief, sadness and anger — and realize that being alone in 2020 isn’t such a bad idea after all," a rep explained.
Baldwin said a recent breakup motivated them to develop an episode of their show around this "personally painful subject."
"I openly share my heartache and vulnerability while offering tips for listeners who may be going through the same," she said, and noted the crucial help provided by "a good support system, nature, meditation and tequila."
"We’ve already received countless responses from listeners thanking us or saying they are in the middle of it, as well," she continued. "It seems like it’s in the air, and it’s extra-challenging considering what we are all going through during COVID 19." This uncertain period in the culture 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."
