Virginity Rocks! Featuring Katya

We’re FINALLY back with season 2 of your favorite comedy podcast. Today, we talk to our kindergarten bestie Katya, who some of you may recognize from Hulu’s Are You My First? We talk about her experience on the show and struggling with vulnerability. Plus, we chat about growing up in Orange County, studying theatre, and Katya’s move to New York at 17. Then, we dive into fun topics like finding love, letting people in, holding yourself back, and hook up culture vs purity culture, and the damages of both. HAGS!
