In part two of our series on the hardest times in our lives and how we have found our way out of them, RY and Lola pick up with Bradly (FL/Tumblr) and Elektra (Tumblr/FL) to talk about how they found their way back out of the dark spaces and into a new kind of life. This second half of our discussion looks at real, practical paradigm-shifts and next-steps that can be taken when you realize something needs to change, and how to move forward and rebuild after losing the life you knew. We hope for those in a tough spot, this episode gives you both some hope and practical advice on how you can find your own way out. And for those who haven't hit those times, we hope this advice sticks with you in case you find yourself needing to bounce back.

Many of us have had a time in life where we have hit rock-bottom: unexpected life-changes have hit, major life plans haven't worked out, relationships have failed, or we needed to escape an impossible situation with nothing. In those moments where we have bottomed-out, first we needed to survive... and then we needed to find a way back up. In this two-part series, RY and Lola talk with Bradly (FL/Tumblr) and Elektra (Tumblr/FL) about those times where we have hit our absolute lowest point, including what got us there, the truths we needed to tell ourselves, and how we knew it was time for a change (and not the fun kind, the really hard kind). In the next episode, we'll look at how we each found our way out and through to bounce back stronger than ever! If you have been through a rock-bottom, we hope you find a little of your own story in these stories, and we hope this discussion helps you feel seen. And in the next episode, we hope it even helps you begin to find your way out!

It's that time of year again, RY's favorite episode of the year EVERY year: the New Year's Celebration! This year's question was "what are ways in 2025 you took steps toward loving yourself and your ABDL kink more?"... and boy oh boy did the ABDL community respond! This episode features YOUR voices and stories as RY and Lola and Teddy read and listen to how YOU took positive steps toward self-love, self-acceptance, and building relationship and community this year. It feels like payday, and we had more responses than ever this year by a landslide! We hope you relish this long-form celebration, and return to it on the days you feel disheartened or stuck with your ABDL kink. It turns out, there are steps you can take to move forward, and even to fall in love with yourself and your kink.

Ho ho ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's RY Clause here, sneaking down your chimney to drop one little extra present under your tree -- it's a Winter Question Round-Up! On this episode of LIB, RY and Lola tackle questions about: How to stop the binge & purge cycle Making friends online Finding your everyday rhythm with your little side (even if you don't engage it every day) How to consider consent when you have others living in your home Body image in ABDL participation Boy, that sounds like a lot when you put it that way, doesn't it? But we are leaning on our years of experience talking to others in the community and learning from their expertise, so we promise to get right to it and get you home before Christmas dinner. This episode also comes with a heaping side of *special ask of YOU, the LIB listener* as we prepare for our NYE episode. (Hint hint - we want YOU on the podcast, which is coming out New Year's Day, so jump on it!) Thanks in advance for your help, we can't wait to have you join our New Year's celebration!

As a part of our Makers Series celebrating those in the ABDL community who step up to make something for all of us to enjoy, Lola and RY talk to Daisy from LNGU (LNGU-ABDL.com), a French diaper company that has been growing by leaps and bounds. Daisy talks about how LNGU got started, how a girls' sleepover night turned into an idea for a new kind of diaper, and how evolution of a diaper brand involves a lot of trial-and-learning while keeping the core spirit of customer want/need alive. So, be a "Happiness Monitor" yourself by tuning in to this episode to meet another fabulous Maker -- LNGU!

Really excited to be back with a new episode, and one featuring the fabulous Teddy as co-host! Teddy has been world-traveling and experiencing all kinds of new places, experiences, and Love, and so glad to have him bring all of that back to us so we can learn from him. This week, Teddy and RY have a spiritual-successor to our "Awesome Aces" ep (#46), this time focused on Demisexuality! On this episode, our guests @LilMissPumpkin (FL) and @SlothOnTheRocks (FL) talk with us about their experiences coming to identify as demisexual, what demisexuality is and isn't for them, offer some brilliant tips for navigating your own sexuality, whatever it may be, and dig into what it's like to be both Demi + ABDL. It's a whole lot of learnin' and way more talk about amusement parks than you would expect from a sex podcast. So buckle up (or at least make sure your riding harness is nice and tight) for a fabulous ride into Demisexuality!

Some of us are Bigs, or Tops, or Dom(mes). Some of us are Littles, or Bottoms, or subs... and some of us (including yours truly) love to be BOTH! This is an episode all about SWITCHING, and Lola and I are proud to welcome our new friends LALady (LALadyinMS on Tumblr) and Carp (carptrout on Tumblr) to talk about finding the weird wonderful world of ABDL switching, how to navigate switching with a partner, and how switching works in our particular couplehoods. Of course, there are as many ways to switch as there are switchy folks and couples, so this is far from the last episode on the subject! But we wanted to bring one couples' perspective together with our own, and we hope you enjoy learning along with us. So turn off the lights (use the switch), may get some warmup domming/subbing in (use the switch), and get ready to talk about SWITCHING!

It's Summer Blow-Out Time, and our deals have gotten CRAZY! On this Question Round-Up we cover not our usual six... not seven... but EIGHT questions from you, our listeners! (I figured if I put it in caps it looks more impressive...) We talk about how to do 24/7 when you work in an office, how to experience little space *without* diapers, how to respond to your partner's disgust with your fetish, how to set up a scene, and even the origin story on Lola's "Messy Monday" posts. All that and more, *and* a beautiful testimonial from a listener on the impact of community and self-acceptance on their life. So, come on in to LIB's Big Summer Blow-out (not that kind of blowout) and feel the savings wrapped around you like a warm... well, you know!

Have you ever wondered what a Nappy Nipper is?? Have you always felt a dull, aching longing in your soul for whatever terrycloth toweling is? Did you ever put on a disposable diaper and think, "that was waaaaaay too easy?" If so, you may be ready to try cloth diapers! On this episode of Love in Brief, RY and Lola talk with @ExecBaby (FL) and Liv (@NewbornABDL on IG / babygirlandmommy496 on Tumblr) about all things cloth diapers-- how they work, tips and tricks for using them, and why a big chunk of ABDLs are hopelessly devoted to these awesome diapers. Here are some of the items and videos referenced in today's episode!

You know how sometimes you really really want to play diapers and play kink and do all sorts of nasty, unseemly things to yourself and/or your partner(s)? And then, kind of inexplicably, a few days or weeks later you could kind of care less about kink or ABDL play? It's easy to get down or hard on ourselves during the times when our kink drive or sex drive wanes, and today's discussion, RY and Teddy talk with Bonsai_Baby (FL/IG) and Blinkxz (FL) about why our kink can ebb and flow, and what to do when that happens. (Hint-- love yourself well, and cut yourself some slack!)

We get a lot of questions about faith and how it interacts (or doesn’t) with kink and ABDL. So we thought it was time to revisit this topic, and we brought along a couple of our beloved friends who are also people with big faith! On this episode, RY and Lola interview TiniestTyrant (FL) and Little-Librarian (FL) on their faith, their kink, and how they have tackled some of the big questions that come up when the two intersect in the same person. Our guests recommend these two resources if you are interested in more! TiniestTyrant recommends ReconcilingWorks.org - A Lutheran program to promote welcome and full participation for all Little Librarian recommends the book “God Didn't Make Us to Hate Us” by Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail, a book about healing hurt from religious scorn and promote a sense of community.

Can you hear that triangle ringin', little Cowpoke? Well yee-haw, that means it's time for another Question Round-Up! On this episode RY and Lola get into the deep stuff on topics such as trying out Switching, how to love your inner child, tattoos on Littles, how to get involved in your regional community, reciprocating with your partner, and even a bit on tariffs! Also, here are the previous episodes mentioned in this discussion: Episode 126 - Munches Episode 115 - ABDL Retail Stores Episode 51 - Making Friends Episode 23 - Getting Involved

Badges and rooms for CAPCon 2026, the world's biggest ABDL convention, went on sale yesterday afternoon... and they sold out rooms at both the host hotel and the secondary hotel in TWO HOURS! But fear not, in this episode of Love in Brief RY and Lola jumped on with Kane (the Convention Lead for CAPCon) and Nito (Deputy Admin Lead) to talk about this record-breaking sell-out, and get information on how to still get access to rooms and badges in the months leading up to CAPCon 2026. It's hot off the press, and just for you! Can't wait to see you next March, tune in to make sure you know how to get your badge!

Getting to a place of accepting your ABDL side is hard, but imagine turning a corner and not just *accepting* that you like diapers, but *embracing and celebrating* it! ABDL folks aren't the only ones who feel shame about diapers... so do some folks who struggle with incontinence. And whether you want to wear, you need to wear, or both, the journey to self-acceptance and positivity is one of the most important you will ever take. This episode features Pree (@BumblePree on IG), a person living with MS and incontinence who has been featured on Vice and other worldwide media recently as a "diaper influencer" because of her advocacy and encouraging media for those who wear diapers. TeddyBear and RY talk with Pree about her experience turning the corner into accepting and advocacy, and we tackle listener questions and comments about embracing positivity for their want/need to wear diapers.

On this episode of LiB, RY and Lola stop in at the headquarters of NorthShore Care Supply to talk all things diapers, all things NorthShore, what to look forward to in the future, and even a warehouse tour!
