Dancer turned writer Kari Burke shares her story "What is Love? Baby Don’t Hurt Me” about complicated emotional entanglements. Her story was first told in the personal narrative and then in Kari’s main love language, dance. Her performance truly exemplified the show’s theme Phoenix Rising as it was Kari’s first aerial silk dance performance in 2 years since an injury. It was also her first time on the BedPost stage.Follow Kari:https://www.instagram.com/kari.burke/Support and Follow BedPost Confessions:https://bedpostconfessions.com/https://www.instagram.com/bedpostconfessions/https://bedpostconfessions.com/swagDigital Show Tickets and Information See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Arielle Sokoll-Ward finds a powerful and unapologetic self-love by way of grief in “Metanoia.”"I told him to strip to his boxers. I sat him in his chair, blindfolded him, and tied his arms behind his body. I set up my playlist, which obviously included Rihanna, John Legend, and even Smashing Pumpkins. I told him to wiggle his blindfold off and I preformed a strip tease that went to lap dance that led to passionate, animalistic sex. As we lay in bed, catching our breath, I tell him my confession. I just recorded the entire thing."Follow Arielle:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfxCcMUWTp4https://www.instagram.com/rellybelly7/?hl=enSupport and Follow BedPost Confessions:https://bedpostconfessions.com/https://www.instagram.com/bedpostconfessions/https://bedpostconfessions.com/swagSupport the BedPost Community:https://justjillcosmetics.com/https://www.shopmaryjae.com/https://www.instagram.com/chorizofunk/Tip our bar staff @thenorthdoor on Venmo For information regarding your data privacy, visit Acast.com/privacy

In a life that has been done, undone and redone more than once, Jami Shofner postulates “Is it Done Yet?”"I’ve been working on putting together a 5-year-plan for over 50 years, but every time I try to actually work my 5-year-plan, I only manage to get as far as next month at the most. Losing my way of life, several times, forced me to re-evaluate what I was doing, where I was and what I wanted. It forced me to learn new things and discover new perspectives."Follow BedPost Confessions:https://bedpostconfessions.com/https://www.instagram.com/bedpostconfessions/https://bedpostconfessions.com/swagFollow Jami Shofner:https://www.instagram.com/shofnerjami/https://www.facebook.com/Jami.Ward.S For information regarding your data privacy, visit Acast.com/privacy
