Inside The Play: Where Fantasy, Consent, and Culture Collide Feat. Michael Hollice

This week on Broke Girl Therapy, I sit down with Michael Hollice, the Founder and Creative Director of The Play, an ethical play party and sex positive space built on health, consent, intimacy, and artistry. Michael and I talk about how being a reformed “player” led him to embrace the ENM lifestyle, the inspiration behind creating The Play, and why it is so important to normalize conversations about the many spectrums of relationships, especially within the POC community. With over 100 curated events in the ENM and polyamorous scenes, Michael brings so much knowledge, experience, and insight into what ethical non monogamy looks like in practice. If you have ever been curious about The Play, this episode will answer your questions, challenge old ideas about relationships, and maybe even inspire a new way of thinking about love, intimacy, and connection.

Om Podcasten

Broke Girl Therapy is a place to get real, laugh, and maybe cry a little. It is your weekly safe space with Stefanie Maegan and co-host Rose McAleese. They talk about dating, sex, relationships, love, heartbreak, friendships, and career chaos. Stefanie started the podcast because she couldn’t afford therapy or keep a man, and now she is in a healthy long-term relationship, while Rose is still navigating the dating world and her fear of commitment. They bring different perspectives but share a common theme: no matter what stage you are in life, we are all just trying to figure it out. They’re not professionals, but they bring experts on for guidance and love featuring guests with different perspectives to provide representation and remind listeners they’re not alone. With the safe space of girlhood at the heart of the podcast, they explore life’s messy, hilarious, and emotional moments together, because therapy is too expensive.
