Cory: “And for women, I think we’re taught to put other people's pleasure and needs ahead of our own.”

I Swear on My Mother’s Grave

19-12-2022 • 56 mins

Welcome to the last episode of Season 2! Yay! Do you believe that someone can love more than one person during their lifetime? Do you ever wonder what your parent’s sexual history or desires were? Are you curious about how to talk to your own young daughters about intimacy and sex and pleasure? Are you craving hearing a guest play guitar during a podcast interview? Well then we have the conversation for you!

Cory Goodrich is an actor, singer, musician, songwriter, painter, mother, and the writer of a poignantly funny, forgiving, warm, and honest memoir called Folksong: A Ballad of Death, Discovery, and DNA. Cory seemed to always be curious about whether or not the man who raised her was her actual biological father, and after her mother died she found letters and a photograph that proved her greatest fears. In her memoir, Cory writes “Like my mother, I have things to erase. I am not a bastard. I am a love child. I am their child, borne and shaped by their love.”
