Erika Miley
The Soft Science
I’m Dr. Erika Miley — licensed therapist, clinical sexologist, professor, and your favorite neurodivergent bisexual with a brain full of research and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop. This show is for the curious, the kinky, the overstimulated, and the over-it. We’ll talk about sex without purity politics, trauma without turning it into your whole personality, and desire without apology.
